Hey!
How much would you guys charge for an ejeculating dildo show? Facials, cum in mouth and creampie kinda thing?

Hey!
How much would you guys charge for an ejeculating dildo show? Facials, cum in mouth and creampie kinda thing?
At least an extra 50 gold before the show. I'd also space things out (like do a facial, then the cum in mouth won't be for another 10 mins) to make sure they're not going to run off ASAP.
It sounds like a lot of effort so I wouldn't do it for less than making $100 (my cut) from them
sorry just a question! just wondering if for example we are able to work with a vpn if you are in a country with restriction like dubai? sorry i admit to be ignorant but i was thinking if possible! :) it is the external web on the setting related to it! :P I asked on the Cam technology thread as well! ...

Do you mean camming from Dubai? If so, I wouldn’t risk it, playing with fire springs to mind! I mean you may not get caught, but if you did.. the consequences could be terrible.

It's so hard for me to hoe when it's so cold inside the house. I'm getting chills between shows and feeling absolutely miserable.
I'm told that dick and dough would warm me up but so far that hasn't been working. I refused to sell pussy this way. #coldhoe #miserablehoe

again today, yes I have the same. Stream quality unknown, 1440 x 810. 3.45 bitrate and my Bandwidth in RED is Quality Limitation.
Meanwhile its been 3 weeks since I cant pull up notes on my blocked men to update notes, still an error.
Why does it take so long for SM to fix errors.

I still don't have that update to the bandwidth thing, however my bitrate was absolutely abysmal today! I have good internet so even with a low bitrate my stream is usually okay. Okay it was red my whole stream and I had several guys tell me I was super blurry, even though it was saying I was streaming in 1080p and it was excellent :/ (despite the red bitrate?)
I ended up logging off bc I couldn't get any shows due to the quality
Yeah for some reason SM will say 'excellent' no matter how poor your quality actually is, I've witnessed this for years now. If your bitrate is staying in the red you are for sure hella blurry though.

If your steam is good and can get customers I woudldnt worry about it
I usually cam and pick up 1920x1080 but have it set for 4k. i dont use a 4k cam, i use c922
if you drop your video resolution to 1920 x 1080 you will read 1080 res your bit rate and quality are back to normal
I tried it and it worked
maybe sm is trying to get 4k resolution to work? i Was told 4k is not supported a while back

I've noticed today that I have to manually accept C2C requests or it will just say "CAM2CAM has ended" after the countdown instead of automatically accepting the request. I rely on the auto accept feature after the 10 second countdown because if I'm in the middle of performing when they wanna turn on their cam I have to get up and accept it which ruins the flow of the show. Hopefully it will fix itself soon.

I think I've found a temporary work around that Quality Limitation glitch so if anyone wants to give it a go message me. I can get my Quality Limitation to show none in green and my resolution back to 1920 x 1080 which sorts out the bitrate, it's a work in progress but it meant I could keep guys in my room for the last 15 minutes of my shift.
I might eventually post it here but want to test it for a bit longer and not post false information too soon.

I can't stand to work when I'm cold either. I got myself an infrared space heater plus a fluffy electric blanket draped over my chair that I sit on top of to stay toasty warm (plus fluffy warm socks).

THe new stream health widget is weird. I'm in 1080 and all greens, but the stream quality is "unknown" and my video is visibly laggy and jittery on my end. Anyone else experiencing that?
yep, I finally got it and this happened. Then it was stuck at 240p??! for ages. After about 30 mins it reverted back to the old layout and went back to 1080p?
I guess they're still testing it out, I was surprised it reverted back

Oh that sucks then! I did have several guys tell me the quality was fine today, but I was lagging. But yesterday I was getting the same stats and they said the quality was horrible, so who knows!

Same here. My cam room is extremely cold and my main bedroom has a heater and AC unit built it but I'm trying to separate my living from workspace. I put my space heater underneath my desk and keeps my feet and legs warm and the air blows up onto my body while i sit for hours. So comfy. I turn it on in an hour before my shift to warm up the room and it's quiet enough where the men don't even notice when I do shows so I can keep it on the whole shift plus thigh highs. Game changer. I also prefer the old fashioned ones that looks like toasters i broke one and it warms a room so well without any noise at all.

Can I ask you ladies about microphones please? I know there is a dedicated thread but it's not used a lot and I know there is plenty of knowledge here!
Currently I use my Logitech C920 built in mic and it seems ok but I'd like to upgrade and get a Blue Yeti. Can I ask please is it worth getting, in terms of customer experience? Do people compliment the sound?
And I've heard it picks up EVERYTHING so where would I position it relative to my laptop please? I sit still in free mostly but obvs move around in a show. It seems to have four settings so which would be best for streaming?
Sorry lots of questions! I'm happy to pay £100 to get one but would love to know if it's worth the outlay, compared to what I use now.
Thank you!!

Get Yeti! You get lots for your money. There are many settings that will pick up sound where you want it to.
It's much better than built in mic.

I hate when a customers sees I reject his cam. its easier to just let it timeout.
THIS - I make them tip for C2C and if I am busy and can't reach the mouse to reject fast enough it just makes it more awkward when their cam comes up and I have to shut it down.... "But you already saw my dick, can't we just continue anyway, whine, whine, complain, ad nauseum...."
I understand it may not work for all models but I am super happy about it just timing out instead of automatically exposing me to their bullshit without them tipping. ESPECIALLY if I am in the middle of a private show and a guy throws his cam up - I don't have to stop what I am doing to reject it.

I finally spent the money and got a Yeti and it is AMAZING! It definitely picks up EVERYTHING so if there is someone in the house put a noise machine on white noise sound outside of your cam room door semi-loudish and it helps to deaden the outside noise a bit. I had someone mention they heard my cat a few moths ago and the cat was meowing on the other side of the house! That's when I came up with using the white noise machine outside the door :)

ty for this post, I am now going to ask for an additional tip if a guy wants to C2C. I already only allow it in exclusives, but idk why I didn't do this already considering how much I don't like C2C. I guess I assumed if I asked for a tip, they'd just find another model who wouldn't and I'd lose more money in the long run. gonna give it a shot today!
Hopefully my regs won't be turned off by it and understand that I'm just trying to hustle. If they really like me an additional tip shouldn't be too much to ask... time will tell :x lol

Or fix your gain, tweak your audio settings and remember that it’s a carotid mic so you’re supposed to speak into the side not the end of it like you do with condenser microphones. Make your fancy kit work for you.

UPDATE(if anyone cares, idk lol)
Had a guy who likes C2C with his audio on come back for "round #2" with me, I asked for a 10 gold tip for C2C this time, he immediately left my chat. this why I am always fearful to ask for anything extra tip wise, I feel like 90% of guys will just find another model... :/ granted its just one guy but when its slow losing any kind of show is frustrating.

i suspected this too, recently sent Liz an email asking about some rule clarification and while the response I got was sufficient, it definitely did not sound like it came from Liz. sucks that your response was just usual generic BS.
i wondered if that would eventually happen... too many people emailing her directly instead of going through the incompetent support team and so her inbox was probably getting overloaded and had to be outsourced. :/
edit: i will say though, if you get a generic response from support, responding again and asking them to find a knowledgable person to actually read what i wrote usually gets me an additional response with relatively useful info.

yeah i could never start charging extra for stuff like this, it would turn way too many of my regs off. plus it just isn't my hustle style to upsell everything so it would come off as really out of character for me and probably lead to guys leaving. charging extra for things and only keeping $3-10 for it isn't worth the potential of losing a whole exclusive show from the guy leaving, IMO.
i would just raise your exclusive rates in this case.

I've found the guys that will actually tip for it do longer shows and are more respectful. I don't make my long term regs tip for it though - since I already know what to expect when they turn on their cams. It's a way to weed out the weirdos and the dumbasses that throw up their cam immediately.... It's been really effective at increasing my income and saving my sanity LOL

01-25-2022, 02:38 PM
In my experience you have a much better chance telling them to switch to exclusive for c2c than asking for $10 in private. Guys love showing off their dicks so most will go exclusive just for c2c and stay longer.
If you want to upcharge for c2c in private I definitely would not ask for $10. I'd do at least $50. The chances of them leaving is 50/50 so might as well go big.
Another option would be having your rates where you would allow c2c in private and exclusive.

ty for the advice! I was asking for the $10 tip for C2C but still only offering it in exclusives. I am gonna think on it a bit but I am leaning on not charging extra for C2C and just raising my rate for exclusive and seeing how it goes.

With the c2c update, I might make c2c for exclusive only, if anything, but I already mute sound in private. As long as they aren’t being intentionally vile I don’t care if they want me to see their dick.
I do charge a small amount for a toy in private. Either they pay it, live without it, or go exclusive, they rarely make a big stink about it.
It took a lot of practice but the repetition of saying my boundaries and rules has made it so much easier. If they can’t respect what you directly tell them they will find some way to “get one over on you” at some point in the future.
fetishqueen
01-25-2022, 03:03 PM
I don't mind C2C if they want me to watch, if it gets them off so what! I do get annoyed when they send it straight away like before the 30 seconds so then I usually don't comment I can see anything until the timer is at least 32 seconds, just to be sure! I keep my private and excl only $1 apart so I don't mind if they send it in pvt. I would mind if my pvt was much cheaper.
Thank you for all advice about the Yeti, looks like I'll have to part with some cash...

Yeah I've thought that a few times as well actually in the last few months. I very rarely message her but when I have 'her' responses have got a lot more curt and sometimes outright rude. Sad to see as she used to be so helpful, come back Liz we promise only to message for absolute emergencies!
Or SM could hire better support for models although that is a drastic concept I know ::)
