Loving $$$ way too much :D
How are you love x
being serous I think exercise increases physical endurance and helps to put up with long shifts
also practice and experience
doing great! i am building up i think to slightly longer shifts, ii managed a few 5 and 6 hour shifts this weekend. and hit a new earnings record. but i am too tired today haha.
i think its mainly because i am on my knees on the hard tile floor for 90% of the time. my knee is retaining liquid and hurts .
i need to get a desk and chair i think for longer shifts.
5 to 6 hours i like a joke for you i know.. when you can pull 13 hours a day all week.
hope to get to that point some day.
congrats on placing in the contest btw!!!!
xoox
btw how do you have time to go to the gym when you are on cam so much? you look amazing. you somehow do it all!!! epic!!

Bum! Please be careful with your knees, mine hurt just thinking about the tiles! Sometimes, when the shift is really busy, I tend to forget about small details that make me feel uncomfortable, but after I regret because my body signals me I should take care of it more, while being online too. If you are comfortable on the floor, just get a nice thick fluffy carpet so your knees are in safety! (Personally I think it's more space when you cam on the floor, chair/desk feels comfy but I tend to be less active when I sit for example)

yesss!!! this is exactly what happens!! you get me girl!! i am working hard , focused on the client , the room that i forget my knees ,and then after my knee is huge bruised and hurting.
i have to for my angles to look good. when i am not active im not getting shows. exactly as you said.
i am looking on amazon now for a futon cushin for the floor , a carpet, and a floor chair maybe.
i need to invest or i cant do this long term.
i am very active, skateboarding all the time, or snow boarding in winter, but this is a different kind of pain.
thanks for the advice!
i even saw 1 girl with knee pads on ! whatever it takes .

Yes, such kind of pain (when you constantly press on a certain part of your body) is not good. I have a stupid habit to put my arm on my knee and hold it like that, pushing my weight on it, and then my elbow hurts insanely for several days!
Skateboarding/snowboarding is awesome! I am active, too and just love the sensations from this so much, and that pain (in muscles) is awesome haha
And regarding shows, it's really better to take care of such things before they start to seriously bother, coz its weird to get money just to spend them on doctors later! I learnt it on my own experience lol that's why I'm so passionate about it now!

Getting a desk and a chair was a game changer for me!! I used to sit/kneel on the bed and get the most horrendous backache that wouldn’t go. I could never pull shifts longer than 4-5hrs at a push and I needed a lot of time off cause my body would be so knackered. Customers could tell sometimes too that I was clearly in pain or that my body was stiff.
I don’t sit in the chair all the time, I still stand and move around etc but I’m generally sat on the chair with back support and I can consistently pull longer shifts now without injuring myself.
it’ll definitely be worth the investment in my opinion and experience!

This was actually a convo on another paying platform but I'll ask here.
Guy: Maybe we can chat or email about god on a medium that doesn’t charge sometime. It would be a fun conversation
What would you say to this? I just said "Never got that before" I wouldn't talk for free about anything with a paying custy.

There's literally infinite places on the internet where he can talk about religion with people for free. I would have just said "Why would I do that for free when guys pay me for that?"

I've been kicked off 3x today within 90 min, the first time while in a pvt my bitrate randomly plummeted to -286.21 and I got disconnected, just now it randomly disconnected me and is taking forever for the stream to restart, and a guy who just went pvt said I froze and as he was leaving to try again I dot DCed again.
ETA got disconnected out of pvt with him again and he said the site was taking forever to let him turn his cam on, now it's taking so long to restart the stream that it's timing out and not working.

such great advice ladies thank you . i just ordered some custom made thick cushions for floor work. they will be ready friday. $70 but oh well its worth it. custom made really extra thick.
and i am going to get a desk set up too i think at this point
i just didnt want to invest since ill be moving in 6 months or so. but. with this pandemic and my long work hours. its worth it to invest a bit .
i honestly thought i was being silly to have this pain from just camming.
especially since i am active. but it is a real concern.

You did everything absolutely right, 6 months is a long time, it would be a torture to spend them on tiles, ugh. I am also sometimes reluctant about certain purchases, but then I ask myself 'if not now, then when?' because I tend to forget if I postpone:/

yeah my husband gave me the push tonight, he was like.. i dont care how much it costs i am getting them made.
its true though it will pay for its self very quickly and if i can work more hours then its a win for sure.
i got my new lighting and i am loving it already .

It’s not very well designed and doesn’t tell you when it is still encoding. Even then I still have to try several times to get it uploaded. Stopped using their own music as they reject the movies with that on even though they provided it specifically for that purpose.

Last week was tough as nails. I had to stream 31.5 hrs last week to make $1k+ and it was soooooo fuckin dead most of the hours. It felt like torture. And I've only streamed Sun this week and it was really bad for me. This week has started off rough.
I'm 30 min into this shift and really low potentials like last week and only 1 person has said anything.

In regard to the Lush 2 and its size: it is kinda big. My last BF had a small cock so he bought me kegel weights cause I thought tightening it up might help with sex (might be too much info tho lololollll) BUT instead I just started inserting the Lush 2 and doing the exercises throughout my shift. Well, it works as a vibe toy and as an exerciser. I've tightened up a lot!
I used to just put it on my clit, but now I keep it in and do the exercises throughout my shift. It's actually pretty rad that it works for duel purposes. I'll be keeping it in for future shifts.
Just a lil FYI :)

If you have the cash money Herman Miller Aerons work. Expensive af but the best chair I ever sat on. Dupes and refurbished are around. Depending where you are and how much you earn you can run it as a tax deductible for a 40% refund at year end (plus the VAT if you are registered) A brand new £1200 chair is then £600. Refurbs running at £500 work out at £300 after the tax refund.

I'm so sorry all the ladies had trouble today. I did pretty good. I played "Tips For Shots" and I made almost $80 in two hours on tips alone. I just put water in an empty tequila bottle.
Good thing it was water. I got super hydrated instead of super shit faced���� chin up! It was tax season and stuff. Give it some time :)

yeah unfortunately i did scan the qr code, multiple attempts, and then nothing happens on SM :/
i also have two separate wifi networks and i tried both, and made sure they matched between my laptop and phone
sigh. hope it works next time i'm on; i actually had a really good night without the tip vibe but i honestly miss it and wish it would just work consistently.
long story short I put a new vpn on my phone and the tip vibe wouldn’t buzz despite being connected. Turned it off and it worked, so I thought I would add that to the list of things to check when the tip vibe is being a little bitch.
In retrospect it is common sense but I hadn’t encountered that before and thought I would throw it out there.

happening to me too but think we are only noticing it because they are backed up on adding new ones. Them being banned or closing their account is I think the only way to have them automatically go away. A lot of the good commenters are also the same who are dramatic and close their accounts in a fit.
It definitely isn’t based on if they have us favorited, I have some guys I have blocked and a couple I later made mad because I cost more. So doubt I am still favorited. Still have their comments though.

Hey ladies I have a real weird situation I'd love some advice on.
I turned off geo blocking because it was like pulling teeth. However I had 3 States blocked. I went to go take a model exclusive tonight (she's my girl crush, lol) and I got an error message to contact support.
So I called them, and the lady told me my account was on hold because someone named _______ at my same address has a customer account too. IT WAS MY DAD WHOM I LIVE WITH.
So they blocked my account because they can't have "two accounts with the same IP address".
I told them to just close my customer account and now I've put my geo blocking back on for just my state alone.
So my question is, will having it on just on one state affect my earnings a whole lot?
