I end my rates in .69 -- the "9" at the end still has a profitable effect, and it's also my cheeky way of hinting at sexual things :P

these glitches and encoder problems are driving me crazy. It keeps going from 1600kpbs to like 128kpbs. This shit has been happening since last week. Idk what to do but my internet is fast and im able to stream on other sites with no problem.

Yea I had a tech at my house yesterday. And another is due to arrive tomorrow morning. They are gonna change out my lines to refresh every thing. I have zero issues with other sites. I can even work on them wirelessly.

Mine is gone. I split on rare occasion, but usually only with F4F, where I almost NEVER get privates. Recently I haven't been splitting at all, so I doubt that's it.
Support got a very bitchy email from me over this. I need that fucking button. One does not simply clean up, redress, and look pristine in 30 seconds. I'm not logging in/out after every show you twat waffles. Also, customers that see my cam pointed at the ceiling often think my room is some waste of time and don't come back if it takes me 2-3 minutes to get back to my chair and shit.
ETA: checked in with Juliette as she regularly split cams SM. She's splitting right now and still has her break button. Doesn't seem to be related to splitting based on our two experiences (I almost never split/lost button and she always splits/has it).

Haha I found the culprit, anyone with Boleyn models lost their break button due to an administration glitch. We will have them back by the a.m. This has nothing to do with split camming.
Issabelle
05-12-2015, 06:39 PM
Fuck yeah! And how the hell is that an administrative glitch? Really now--I call B.S. Support, we get that it's hard to exceed expectations when you're basically on par with the NASA monkey rejects, but please try to keep up.
...Maybe I shouldn't say that. Now that I've emailed them bitching, I imagine they'll take my button away just because and claim it's fixed for the next month...

They say the only dumb question is the one not asked, but I feel this IS a dumb question...I'm not very computer smart except for the basics and what I have to do to cam on SM, but I've noticed all the girls do this and I want to know how you take a screenshot? Like of something in your guest chat? Thanks girls I'll play around today, I'm sure it's something easy, but I've never taken a screen shot before and don't know how.

For Mac computers is: Command + Shift + 3 -> saved on the desktop
For Windows computers you have a button on the keyboard called PrintScreen (from what I remember, ex Windows user). You press it, then you go to Paint. Copy + Paste and save the image where you want it.
Happy Screenshoting big tips!

I have a question for you girls?
Okay, so for my private shows, I'm all about playing with myself and getting myself off and making myself feel good. However, some guys want me to "fuck myself hard, legs up in the air" and I'm just not about that. When I'm having actual sex, it's a different story but when playing with myself I enjoy more of just clitorial stimulation. Inserting things inside of me does nothing for me but I still do it.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is how can I go about having to insert things less frequently inside of me? Should I do "penetration in exclusive only" and just whatever makes me feel good in a regular private show?

Its totally up to you! I always think a girl should do what she is comfortable and no more. Dont let these guys push you around. Although penetration is a pretty common request I know some girls do fake it with camera angles so you could also try that!

Do what makes you feel most comfortable mentally and physically. There is more to camming than fucking yourself to death. I don't any kind of penetration. I think fetish shows required less penetration.

Depends on customer. I use mostly my hitachi in premium chat and some fingering. If they insist, I use a dildo if I am in the mood or I tell them I do that type of penetration just in exclusive.
Most of the guys are cool knowing you enjoy it, no matter what that involves. Try to guide them the way you want it. Sometimes I say I have multiple guys in there (even if I don't, haha) and they have to be patient about everything. Most of the times works.

Yeah. I'm back home from college so I don't really have options for the best set up right now lol. I'll have to try different camera angles when I go back in july. I don't mind the penetration in a regular private, but I'd really like to be able to set my rules with them before hand that I'm going to do what makes me feel good and comfortable opposed to fucking myself senseless.

*Sigh* aren't those "harder, faster bb" guys the worst?? Most the time I continue with whatever I'm doing and verbally say "OH YEAH, You're fucking me so HARD!" or something like that, and it's never an issue. The bottom line is this: It's your show, do whatever makes you comfortable!! You control what happens, NOT the other way around. I personally don't ever break out the toys until they ask for them, or I'm feeling like using one and even then- I only take requests in exclusive. Another piece of advice is to sloooow down everything you do. Draw out the seduction, and it will be less time with the actual penetration. Play around with different things and figure out what works for you!

Yeah, I just had my first private of the day and he was like "I wanna see you fuck your pink pussy. legs up in the air" and I started with teasing and he kept being annoying and I said I wasn't going to put my legs up in the air and so he got off. oh well. he was one of those guys that wanted you to start as soon as the timer started so I knew he wasn't going to stay long anyways.

There's a trick to making it look like you're fucking yourself hard, you actually kind of hit yourself with the base of your wrist so it makes a slapping sound while doing shallow penetration, and it really looks and sounds like you're fucking the hell out of yourself. Also, when you do it, kind of jerk your body, move your legs around in a kind of spastic way, as well and use your voice! Your voice really expresses what's going on in a much more direct way than any kind of action. You scream, "do it to me harder and faster, baby!!" all they while nothing is really going on down there other than some light penetration. It takes some practice to make it look genuine but baby, when it does, it's fucking hot. You'll last so much longer and everyone is happy!

LOL wow Hyori that's awesome. You learn something every day. I've always wondered how girls made that sound! I agree too about moaning and sounding like you're really enjoying it. I've had so many guys comment on what a turn on it is just to hear a woman moan. I only break out the toys when guys ask, and I have my small short toys at arm's reach for when they do ask, and I never show my big toys until they ask. I can go days without ever using a big toy! And I insist, only SMALL toys for my ass/anal. I don't care what they tip, I'm the boss. This shit stays tight! That's my 2 cents Princessari ;-)

Personally, if the Streamate traffic is low then I reach out again to my social media following, and I start snapping out to the members of my site to try and get my usual guys in there. It usually works, if it doesn't, then I log off and utilize my time in a different way. Make clips, photosets, work on my website etc. I don't have time to be sitting online when there isn't any money there.

I wish I could do this but because I NEED the money I pull long hours even when it's slow and hold out on hope that someone will spend money on me and I'll make my goals. I'll get there one day though. I was extremely excited for my clip stores, site, social media, etc starting out and I was doing well for a newbie I think but I put it on the back burner. I'm actually going to start working on it all again really soon. I'm just trying to come up with a schedule because in between everything I was all over the place.
Btw, you have a very sexy voice, Ivy. I'm in love with it! lol

I stay on unless I'm hungry and want a snack break, but I usually I stay online to keep my time online rolling. I might pick a good song on my ipod and dance around. LOL or re-heat my coffee. I know it's hard and can be boring waiting. I've been reading here and with me, I've had a few times a day where NO ONE is in my room, or no one is chatting, almost like the page is reloading..then BAM a dozen guys come in at exactly the same time. Just a little strange. Yesterday I also had a couple guys get kicked out of exclusive. They came back and finished, but I hate that it kicked them out.

I take a break then log back on. Staying online for hours without making money will kill your placement AND your sanity. Sometimes it's okay to call it a day and work extra hours when it's busy. I know not everyone has the luxury to do that so I feel very blessed.

Harrass your indy guys on Skype. Tweet, instagram, tumblr, mypornprofile, camgirlcollective that you're lonely and horny. Do a $0 gold show then cancel it at the last minute then go for your goal, (that's the bitch way to get traffic LOL).
