I got outed on cam :-/ Someone took screen shots and posted them all over (of all places) tumblr. Thank goodness that Tumblr was very quick at taking the images down but the damage was already done, lost a relationship behind it. Now coming back after an almost a 2 year break, the only way I'll feel comfortable on cam again is with a disguise and the grueling task of covering all of my tattoos with makeup (they happen to be pretty large). At least then I'll be able to deny, deny, deny. So yes there is always a chance at being outed even if you block your state.

Yes, it is inevitable. Someone, somewhere will out you, recognize you and make things difficult for you to conceal yourself. Six degrees of separation and the world is small now that the internet exists.

If a mod wants to move my thread and delete this one that'd be great.

My post was:

I've already been through a shit storm when someone found out about my porn vid which was damn near 4 years ago.

I really don't want to go through another shit storm like that again. Should I just strip?

My 2 main fears are:

1. I won't get hired at OR worse I'll get fired from an awesome professional job in the future.

2. People that know me and my kid and my kids dad will find out and create a shit storm.

Is the risk there? High enough to stop me?

Also:

I hear about people recording and reposting shows that girls do, anyone else?


There is no way of actually predicting when it will happen or how it will happen.

You've already been outted for porn and you've managed to bounce back from it. if it happens again it's just a matter of how are you going to handle it and find a way to move on from it.

I've lost jobs from it but they were also jobs I wasn't passionate about. Now I am in a career I am passionate about but there is also no boss to worry about and I am in an industry that doesn't care about my past they only focus on if I am producing results and how I can share how I've produced those results.

Being on the internet and social media and then internet post does give people more freedom and which is also gives people who are haters and trolls more freedom as well so it really a matter of how are you going to handle those hiccups and how quick can you bounce back from it.

You definitely don't want to work as an adult worker anywhere where someone could catch you (which is basically everywhere) or anything illegal while holding a respected job. Like you don't want to work in medicine and be a cam girl at the same time. Or you don't want to be a teacher and then strip at your local strip club. It's just not a good idea.

But after you retire from adult and have deleted your trail online, then a lot of jobs should be fine. You probably won't make it as an ex pornstar and current teacher. And you probably won't be working in politics. But there actually are a lot of career paths available. You definitely don't want to do illegal or disorderly conduct stuff while doing these jobs though.

I was concerned about medicine and have consulted doctors who run their own practice as well as people who work for these boards (like the nursing board), and found out that a.) most of them don't care about your past as long as it was legal and you have retired, and b.) no one can even put in a complaint to challenge your license (nursing for example) unless they work in the medical field themselves and it won't be taken seriously unless they can show how they work or interact with you. So even a hater can't do anything lol. It was pretty cool to learn that.

Obviously with things like kids, things are different because the parent can pull the kid out of your care/program and most parents seem to be quite conservative. Or at least they pretend to be lol

Just don't go for being super popular and do private shows, charge them properly, maybe change your looks a bit.

And don't feel like you need to jump on this bandwagon of doing EVERYTHING out in the open on public chat (which many MFC cam girls do). You might make money going that route, but you're gonna have a lot more eyeballs on you (possibly recording you). And all the guests and basics watching haven't even paid you a dime.

Agreed with BrownFox. It's not just about recording, you become like an idol, with fans.

Thank you so much for this!! I have been camming for about 2 years now and I recently found out that someone recorded me and posted me on a tube site (i got it taken down but whatever) and this has reassured me that everything is going to be okay in my future and that I should still continue on with my education. This is the exact kind of information I was looking for. Again thank you :)


The issue is that there is a major difference between earning money as the total result of one's own savings, investments, and independent business activities ... and earning money as an 'independent contractor' that is actually dependent on a business structure and facility that was financed, and is managed, by someone else.




Indeed there are two alternatives available with some of these professions. For example, a psychologist or lawyer can decide to invest their own savings to lease their own office, hang out their own 'shingle', and seek their own clients without anyone being particularly concerned about having worked in the 'adult' industry prior to graduation and obtaining their professional license. But if the same psychologist seeks 'affiliation' with a school or hospital, or if the same lawyer seeks 'affiliation' with an established law firm or 'corporate' clients, questions will undoubtedly be asked regarding the person's background in addition to an obligatory check of their professional license file.

In regard to professional licensing, being cited and fined for 'unprofessional conduct' as the result of 'adult' industry work cannot result in revocation of said professional license ... because 'adult' industry work is not illegal. Thus it won't matter for the psychologist or lawyer who decided to 'hang out their own shingle' beyond the impact ( if any ) of prospective clients deciding not to engage the services of that psychologist or lawyer because they took 5 minutes to check the status of that psychologist's or lawyer's professional license ( online ) and immediately discovered their 'unprofessional conduct' citation for 'adult' industry work. But it will matter to a school system, hospital, partnership law firm, major corporation etc. ... because any 'affiliation' with that particular psychologist or lawyer can and will reflect back upon the organization which decided to 'retain' them.




For better or worse, most US states now require that social workers obtain professional licenses. Again, if 'adult' industry related work history has only taken place prior to applying for that professional license, there can't be any action taken for 'unprofessional conduct' by the state professional licensing board. However, the in-depth background check that will be performed by the state professional licensing agency could turn up an 'adult' industry work history work history, and DENY licensure based on the fact that the applicant 'lied' on their professional license application by failing to list their previous 'adult' history background. If the applicant does list their previous 'adult' industry background they can't be denied the professional license ( because 'adult' industry work isn't illegal ), but this can also communicate the existence of an 'adult' industry background to prospective employers who thoroughly check the professional license files of all applicants. Thus a potential for being 'damned if you do, and damned if you don't'.

In the final analysis, a professional license is a professional license. While upscale suburban social welfare agencies might take issue with hiring a social worker with a 'black mark' on her professional license, inner city social welfare agencies are likely to be very happy being able to hire a licensed social worker for whom English is their primary language. However, the working conditions and pay rate are likely to be somewhat different !

Almost 2 years ago I was a cam girl on Streamate.com for only about 6 months. I was registered to other sites like cams, adult work, myfreecams, webcams, mygirlfund and like 3 pso sites. I only made money on Streamate.com and closed the others.

I am now 5 months pregnant and registered for college. ..yet I can't decide a career field due to the fact I have a porn past. I wanted to go for social work, nursing assisting, veterinarian.....but my big goal was early childhood education. .A preschool teacher. Does that mean it's not obtainable because of my past?

I heard of police officers being fired because of a porn past and a guy who worked at subway.

Can I even be anything? How can I support my child?

I will read the rest of the comments after I answer to the OP

There is no certainty of what parts of your past will make a ding in your future. There is no way of 100% knowing the outcome because you haven't completely become driven and became someone in that field.

In my past when my porn has come up it was when I was working in jobs I had no true passion for. When they came up in college it was because I brought them up on my own.

There are plenty of ways out there to make a living and support your family its a matter of being creative and resourceful.

So great I went through multiple jobs being outed for having a porn website when really I was just features on websites and people make a big deal about it because they personally couldn't handle it. I found my way it took getting creative to figure out what I want for my life and I had to make myself unstoppable to get it.

Crap this just hit me

So grade 7 or 8 we had a supply teacher named Coral Cox first day of glass she goes on how her name is Carol Cox kids where laughing but they weren't laughing because her name is the same name as a porn star they just found the name funny.

I guess this teacher had it happen all the time and decided to tell us that her name is the same as the porn star. Honestly if this teacher didn't explain in more detail her name is also a porn star she could have just gotten the class to shut up and start teaching but she planted that judgement in our head when we were just being immature brats.

You have to understand yes porn people get outed but they are being outed by people who are looking to out and hurt them. that doesn't happen every single time.

There are some people out there who have no clue what you do and as long as you NEVER tell them they will never have that idea in their head to start spin ways to judge or ask more questions.

I recently closed my SM and IMLive accounts because I'm stepping away from camming to focus on other things. Googled my performer name and there was 3 videos of my shows on tube sites. Pornhub was really good and took it down right away but there's a site that is all just recorded SM shows and I haven't heard back from them. I always knew there was a risk of this and was ok with it but now that I see it out there and I know potential employers can see it.....I'm not very happy.

Guess I should have given a bit more thought on camming before I started...Lol

All girls should know. There are some stupid sites that don't evan bother to answer your emails (not evan talk about taking videos down). And you can't do anything about it. There is a video from long time ago that keeps hunting me. The same video pops over and over again (i think the guy that recorded it has made a purpose to find a site that won't take ti down when i dmca it's ass). He succeeded now. It's a russia site i think, both in english and russian. They actually mention they don't follow the usa laws of dmca. I send them emails over emails but they don't evan bother to say: we won't take it down.

So there is a risk down there, evan if you stop, you have to check yourself all the time. We just have to hope this stigma will stop. That having a history as a cam girl won't matter at one point in our lifes. After all if you are beeing a nurse let's say & you stopped beeing a cam girl. You do your job so good. Why should the fuck matter that at one point in your life you were a cam girl ?? why???!! There was an article in my language at one point , on a blog, gosh, maybe i get to translate it. It was sooo good ! It basically said that there are jobs outthere that do much more harm than camming but are considered good by society.

I also saw a stand up comediant talking about sex workes and how society is screwed up for stigmatizing them. In my language again. He was so cool, he made fun of the people freaking out about sex workers but not giving a shit about the military killing innocent lifes for a purpose (that's another topic butttt).

Fuck this shit. I hope this world gets better. We can only hope the stigma will go away.

This thread is literally the saddest thing I've ever seen. People saying they are going to quit college and work fast food because they cammed for six months a number of years ago, really? I understand it's something that may be of concern, but to give up on all your life's goals or act like you can't make anything of yourself because you got naked in front of your computer! smfh
Now a little background on me: I've cammed for almost 7 years on a variety of sites, I've done 50+ Scenes of HARDCORE PORN and I've been nominated for an AVN award.
And best of all... NONE OF IT IS ON MY BACKGROUND CHECK! How in the world would this stuff end up on a background check?!? Background checks are for verified employment (sometimes. But calming isn't employment) and arrest record.
First off, did y'all use your real names? If not, then how do you think your potential employer is going to know? Are you putting your stage name on your application under "other names used" LOL
Someone would have to be looking at porn or cam sites and stumble across you! You think your boss is gonna come over and be like "yo I was jerking it to some free porn and you popped up!" Hell no...
and let's say hypothetically you are questioned about it... All you have to say is "I was a chat host, I spent time with guys and flirted with them and got paid to do so." YOU ARE NOT A CRIMINAL. YOU ARE NOT A HOOKER. YOU ARE NOT A PORNSTAR. You were a CAM MODEL. Meaning you earned money by modeling on your webcam. Keep it simple.
I can tell you from first hand experience, since doing porn I've had jobs when I worked for Fortune 500 companies and made 6 figures while working in an office with 500 men... my background didn't affect my job. I've also worked with children as a tutor for a state funded program... didn't affect my job.
Keep going after your goals in life, stop using your history of camming as some curse like you were Jenna Jameson or something and assume you can have no future. How many nurses at your local hospital were probably strippers at some point while they were working through school? I know THIRTEEN!
If you're that worried about it, dye and cut your hair and get some lip injections or something. Changing your look just a little bit. And best of all, learn to lie. We've all lied to our customers on cam. If someone says "oh I saw you on blah blah blah..." cock your head to the side, raise your eyebrow (only one side) then squint and say "webcam? What are you talking about?"

THIS. My current job title actually is 'teacher' (or 'assistant teacher'), and it's in a church daycare. The seasonal job I'll be starting soon is in a business involving children's photos with Santa. I've also worked from home as a student mentor for AIM Mentoring earlier this year, and I've worked as a teacher's aide at Celebree Learning Center (a daycare center with very high standards), as well as other daycare centers.

Don't put your dreams on hold over the possibility of an employer (or future employer) finding out about your adult industry experience. And if they do happen to find out and give you shit for it, well those are probably people you're better off not working for/with anyway. And nowadays, whatever your true passion is, it's possible that there is a work-from-home opportunity in that field. I mean, I even saw an article (I think it was on 'Real Ways to Earn') explaining the various ways teachers can earn money working from home.

This type of thinking has been going on for YEARS. I can't figure out if its from people who've had a successful run at a camming or the ones who cammed for a short-time and aren't making money anymore and have to come in with their dooms day mentality.

If going to college getting some job in your field is your dream then you need to be unstoppable and get it. Whatever it takes

Honestly the time and energy to run around cam sites in hopes you can get your video or whatever removed is seriously not an effected way to focus on your dreams it is taking you away from it.

People need to focus on things that bring them to their goals and not suck the life right out of them.

Basically if you want to create depression, anxiety and other self created mental illness the fastest way to do it is to give up on your dream careers, and then run around spending all your energy trying to get a site to remove your image.

Focus on your dreams and making money in your passion career and hire a damn lawyer to get your stuff removed if you really have to do it.

You know how many celeb former sex workers out there who never once let their past ruin their dreams and potential. Over 10 I found an article about it years ago and It really motivated me to focus on what I want and the life I want to live for myself.

I stayed in sex work to long thinking I couldn't find another way to make big money at home without selling sex. then 2014 I found it. it was right under my noise the WHOLE DAMN TIME. Now it's full speed ahead getting it.

Two little words I'm living by is "plausible deniability". Unless somebody literally sees me cam (or knows exactly how the inside of my house looks), they can't prove anything. Camming does not "agree" with what I normally do for work, but if nobody knows, there is no role confusion. If anyone mentions they saw me on cam, I will deny, deny, deny! I get mistaken for other people anyway ("Did you used to work at Suchandsuch?") so I don't see why this should be much different.

That being said, I like to keep a low profile. I don't post pictures that have my face, and I'm not sure I ever want to make videos, even to give away in gold shows. I have modest weekly goals, and I hit them. As far as part time, at-home work goes, you can't beat this. It's like finding $1000 or so a month in the couch cushions, so it's all good.

You girls are an inspiration. In a world where camming and adult work in general is talked badly about - we need some positivity. Girls need to know that there is a future after camming. Especially when they feel down, they need to read everything you just said.

I used to care about the videos i find online of my privates. Now i don't care this much, i just want to make the uploaders life miserable by tryin to upload them again and again. Why should they benefit off my ass (literally LOL) ?!

And I know i am going to be great no matter what, I have plans and dreams and camming will help me achieve them. If i would not have discovered camming I would be on some other country tryin to make a living far away from my loved ones. Or just work in my country for a monthly salary that is smaller than my freaking rent. So yeah, I will fight my ass off for my life.

I just wanted to say thank you girls !

honestly i think camming will go the way of tattoos and stripping. everyone said my tattoos would hold me back from getting a "real" job but it's never been a problem. i've told employers i used to strip and no one cares. unless you live in a super conservative, religious place i honestly don't think it's a big deal. everyone went through the economy crash and that's when i noticed the stripper judgment go down fast! people just said "hey it's a job! sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do"

This is a such an interesting thread...I'm in a position right now where I've applied for a very vanilla job working with children. I know, if I ever got found out -that would be my career over with. But you know what? I don't think I even care anymore. Camming has saved my life, and these forums and you ladies have kept me sane. I know if I keep at it, camming will get me through Uni again....I'll probably be camming when doing my course tbh.

When I read other forums related to this vanilla job I've applied for, I can't believe I'm thinking of going into it. It can be a very bitchy profession, with tons of work, stress and constant changes. The pay is pretty poor too - I sometimes make more in a hour than people make in a day. But once qualified it does has an amazing platform to do other things, so try and keep that in mind. But the bottom line is, just because you're a cam girl doesn't mean you can't do other things.

Life's too short - do if you really want to do something - just go for it! :)

I don't care if I am found out. I even stopped wearing wigs or any type of disguise. I found wigs super annoying. I do ban my state and I don't tell people except those close to me what I do, but there is the potential to be found out. I don't lose any sleep over it and if and when it happens, I will deal with it then. I do care that I can support myself and make more than enough money. If I ever, I seriously hope not, try to get a vanilla job, I can only hope adult work will not stand in the way, but if it does, I always have adult work. It is something I like doing and there are way more options to make money. I have seen good hard working people, including myself struggle to make ends meet and get disrespected on their vanilla jobs. I find it more degrading getting disrespected by some boss or stupid vanilla rules than anything I have ever done in adult work. For one thing, the power lays in our Ban Button. I use it whenever the fuck I want to. I actually enjoy my secret naughty life, its like a different reality from the vanilla world, where we make the rules work for us.

I've also pretty much stopped caring. I was a stripper, then followed the advice of my family and friends to take a job working with children. I agonized over my past, thought I would get outed, fired, crucified for it. When my boyfriend left me, I thought no decent guy would want to date a former stripper, especially now working in a childcare field. But I was so wrong. People are understanding and forgiving. I worried about this for years and yet nothing bad has come of it.

I cam now, and I stopped wearing wigs or hiding my face on cam. I don't show my face in photosets and I don't talk in videos, just to be on the safe side. I also wear heavy makeup that looks different from everyday life, and block my state from viewing my sites.

Yes, being outed/fired is a potential outcome. However, it is not likely unless you are hugely popular online and have some assholes in your life willing to out you. Simple solution... don't tell anyone about camming. It sucks, but it is the safest route because gossip spreads like wildfire. If you do get outed, it's not the end of the world... I was outed at a couple of vanilla jobs but it never got to my boss and I was never fired. There are so many other jobs out there, and also many ways to work for yourself.

Don't stop doing the thing that makes you money. Just be careful about it.

Fab posts in here, great read - thanks. :)

You know the more I go on, the less I care about being outed, too.
I take precautions; I don't have my face all over the shop, wouldn't do public cum shows, and don't give out my identity on here (not cause of you guys, but cause I know some of my regs creep the forum and it gives me the heeb!)

Up until recently I volunteered in a position where they had to CRB the hec out of me and it was never an issue. Don't worry about men. My dude is a gem, he's PhD educated and the kindest i souls. He loves that this job makes me happy, and has helped me begin to regain financial independence. That's not to say he never has felt a bit jealous, but he tells me if he is, and we just try to be open about it - we're only human after all.

For me, the main issue is now less about being outed; as as I go on, I realise I don't want to move back in to "normal" work; but is more about what the hell am I going to do after I stop camming?! I have tried to research this, and find something I would like as much but so far no luck!

Has anyone else thought not so much about what they will be *able* to do, and about what they would enjoy as much as this? x

Yup with my internet marketing business - my camming story works very well in my favor. through building my affiliate marketing commissions and diving more into affiliate marketing and network marketing and other people build themselves as coaches and selling their internet courses.

I've found myself bumping into a dominatrix and a former solo model/cam model who both use their adult careers as something of an asset in their businesses.


one of the biggest challenges vanilla people face when they want to build a business online is dealing with rejection and potential haters and us being in a very finicky line of work we already dealt with and most of us have long past moved on.

So this idea that you can only cam then get a vanilla job as your only options is really just bull shit.

when you are a cam girl and if you are doing it right you are an entrepreneur and being an entrepreneur that means you have options or you create options for yourself.

There is almost no research out there available for cam model looking for other forms are work that can still give them the lifestyle they are a costumed too which is why I am venture out building this project.

It took some interesting soul searching backwards thinking going to college, taking career counseling session, a government internship and then in 2014 it hit me straight in the face that what I am able to is right front of me.

So now I've put myself on a challenge for the next few months to use what I have found, track my results and use for a case study for my future online course. a few years ago if you have told me this is what I would be doing I wouldn't know how to believe it being possible.

camming never affected me in any negative way- however my day ( and most nights) job is that of an illustrator, and there are books out there with my work in them on on the covers, albums, hell even team merch for the NFL and NCAA players association and more than a few of my clients more so many of my regulars actually tend to know about my past and found that, depending on the client and the context of the work, sometimes actually has given me an advantage when said client is collecting bids from other artists because I may have a deeper understanding of framing, depth, setting up images that carry more expressiveness or replicating body language , and attention grabbing in a way many can't- and its also helped tremendously with interacting and being more relaxed interacting with the clients and feeling more familiar than just another business conversation.

on top of that my step mother was a stripper and a dancer for many years in the 70's and 80's when alot of that sort of stuff was alittle more frowned upon, and shes also gone on to have amazing careers in the vanilla world without it ever biting her ass.

you didnt cam for long, and so i dont assume you had much leak, or stolen or passed around so id imagine the odds of alot of that floating around are pretty low and not very likely to come up and damn you as much as it would say, someone who is more or less a well known celebrity. Really the main way anyone would really find out job wise is by looking through tax records and most sites use the name of a parent company anyway - assuming you made enough to have to pay taxes in the first place.

In the end Momo's advice is to do what you have to, past is the past, and not really super saturated, do what it is you want/need/enjoy doing, worst that can happen is things MIGHT come up - and it may cause problems in THAT instant- if it happens some may overlook it, some may throw a fit, some may try to bury it - youd never know if you never focus and make that decision to actually move forward with your life choices outside of this industry, if it fails? you still always have a ton of options, you just need to make that effort.

I'm the same way. I don't broadcast it but I don't go out of my way to hide it.

I don't care if I am found out. I even stopped wearing wigs or any type of disguise. I found wigs super annoying. I do ban my state and I don't tell people except those close to me what I do, but there is the potential to be found out. I don't lose any sleep over it and if and when it happens, I will deal with it then. I do care that I can support myself and make more than enough money. If I ever, I seriously hope not, try to get a vanilla job, I can only hope adult work will not stand in the way, but if it does, I always have adult work. It is something I like doing and there are way more options to make money. I have seen good hard working people, including myself struggle to make ends meet and get disrespected on their vanilla jobs. I find it more degrading getting disrespected by some boss or stupid vanilla rules than anything I have ever done in adult work. For one thing, the power lays in our Ban Button. I use it whenever the fuck I want to. I actually enjoy my secret naughty life, its like a different reality from the vanilla world, where we make the rules work for us.

In my personal opinion the best thing is to make the jump into building your own business and not getting a "vanilla job" per se. Let's be honest: What's there to stop us from running our own vanilla business?

and starting a business is becoming a lot easier then people think especially if you know what business model you want to follow.

The hardest part is finding your business model and your target market then building your customer avatar.

would it hinder me from scoring a job as a flight attendant and/or a worker on a cruise (i.e. kitchen worker on a cruise or gift shop sales cashier on a cruise, etc)

Probably not. Right now, 2 of my 3 jobs involve working with children. :) But I also can't guarantee you that your coworkers/boss(es) won't ever find you on the 'net. So if you do decide that you really wanna cam, just be smart about who you tell your personal business to later on (when you decide to get those other jobs). Remember that there can be a lot of gossiping and talking behind one's back in the workplace.

Ok I know similar threads have been posted, but I was wondering if I could get more specific input. I am worried right now because I applied for a real estate license and while in my state I can be practicing and am already- it is taking an unusually long time for my background check to clear. I know I am not the only one- there is some other girl in the office who is simply waiting out till it clears to start real estate and it is taking her over 2 months. I don't really know her at all, but she does seem like she might have done adult industry work as I have seen some of her "modeling" on instagram and I know she has a guy like twice her age with money she is dating. There is another guy in the office who it took less than a week for his BG check to clear. Maybe I am worrying for nothing but yeah I am at this point that I am like maybe I should just slow down my prospecting till it clears and I am fully legitimate with a license # that isn't pending... x_x Because what if once they finish the check I basically lose my license over some bs? All the prospecting would be a total waste of my time not to mention embarrassing if they called me and I can't sell their house after all. I work at a small company- not any Remax or Coldwell Banker for reference (I know this was mentioned in another related thread). I am in residential right now as commercial is insanely hard to get into around here because it is insanely good money.

Would you think armed security would uncover this type of work? They have pretty crazy background checks- debating applying there. I am assuming well paid manufacturing jobs could hardly give less of a fuck- at least that was my experience when I worked there. They have the attitude that money is hard to come by and get it however you can as long as you don't hurt anyone. Someone I know suggested that I go and apply at the school districts as they are well paid/well benefited/part time jobs that are excellent if you are starting a business, but I know from reading stuff here that is absolutely not an option for me. I am considering dancing on the side- it's just I always hear it pays terrible around here to the point camming is much better. This is something I hear both online and offline. I live in the Pacific NW for reference. I know I can always go back to camming, but I am trying to avoid it for now. I live in a small city, and people around here are rather judgemental. In the actual "city" people are heavily liberal and I don't think people would give a fuck at all who strips who cams except maybe some circles.

If I (dumbly) fucked myself out of a lot of options, I guess it is ok. When I was on here a little while ago and constantly bitching about hating camming I was going through a lot of shit including a breakup where the guy was shaming me for the camming etc etc. Either way I will be absolutely fine I guess, but wondering how to best use my time right now. Please excuse my rambles just anxiety talking right now.

Thank you <3

Hey CreativeName,
I am in the real estate industry as well and being in the adult field. Frankly, being an the adult industry does not matter in the real estate field but I also do not broadcasted it either. However, I live in California and having an adult career matter less in the real estate industry here. Particularly in the bay area unless you wanted to work for some sort of mom/pop real estate place. People in real estate tend to care less particularly in luxury real estate, timeshares sales, and commercial real estate. They care about sales and presenting a professional yet conservative image. My advice would be just keep being professional and nothing will happen. I would not worry too much for real estate license clearing....it takes some time for everything to clear. If I was you, I would wait until everything clears before trying to sell because you want to make sure that everything will be right :) I hope this helps!

A very close friend of mine has her real estate licence and she was a contract girl for Vivid. She has switched back and forth between being in porn, camming and quitting to take up real estate again and again. Im pretty sure if she got her licence, given the kind of exposure she has, you getting one as a cam girl is no issue!

Hey girl hey~ I'm 20 years old and I love Chaturbate and my followers, I enjoy camming and making homemade porn, but it is obvious that I have to stop doing this someday, say, if I get married and have kids... (I'm single now though) What is the age to stop camming?

Also, I am also a part-time piano teacher, will I lose my future jobs as a piano teacher, accompanist or music theory teaching if someone finds out I was a cam model? (I use a name that has nothing to do with my real identity, blocked viewer regions of my country and frequently works with CB support to take down illegal capping/recordings of my shows.)

You stop whenever you want to stop. Your body, your hustle, your rules. However, if I were you I'd start looking for an 'out' now. Not entirely, just planning for retirement or a nice nest egg, side gig, whatever. You're still young so you have your whole life ahead of you but you might find yourself a lifer- which is still okay. I say plan for the future but hustling as hard as you can and saving, investing NOW. 10 yrs is going to fly by (it's been 8 yrs for me since I started back in 09').

You being found out is very possible. I doubt anyone would recognize you, but you never know who's dad is jerking to live cammodels. I'd disguise heavily (I still do) by wearing wigs or contact lenses, and contouring your face if you're that worried. People are finicky about their kids, and there have been situations of ex-porn stars, cammodels getting 'exposed' by students, etc. So yeah, teaching and cam may not work well but I think you can do well giving out private lessons if you disguise yourself. FUCK EM.

Also, blocking regions don't work if the sites have affiliates and white labels because they depend on outside marketing. The one time I was 'caught' (I denied it of course) was from a tubesite from a male aquaintance that had been crushing on me for years. I had 7 states blocked at that time including the one he lived in (which was my own at the time) and he took me pvt for 10 min and said "You kinda look like my friend, (insert my name), I've always wanted to see her rack."

I denied and blocked him and he hit me up on my private social media (he was already a friend on there) and said that he saw a chick that looked like me the night before and asked if I'd ever heard of (insert white label site here). That he had the best show of his life, and only got suspicious because he was blocked after. I denied it and he never brought it up again. Also, I did a faceless gs (from start to finish NO FACE AT ALL) once and my stalker ex found it and linked me. My background was different and all because I was at a relatives at the time. O.o

Because its a common question. No disrespect to the girly who just asked about being a piano teacher. :) Ive started moving post instead of diverting original threads. Its a lot easier and more organized. I may change the name of this thread to something that stands out for the many people who have these concerns.

What age to stop camming???

The answer is what age do you want to stop. Since you say you want kids and a marriage. you actually do have to carve out time in your life to make those things happen. There is no way of knowing when you will meet that person to have that marriage you are looking for. and as for kids there are so many options out there.

Just like there is no way of knowing when you will meet a person you want to have a marriage there is also no way of knowing when you will be outted for doing this line of work. It's a matter of when and how it plays out.

Everyone who has been outed has their own story of how it went down and how they've handled it. Grade 8 I had a supply teacher name Courtney Cox had no clue at the time that name is a porn star, the teacher brought it up and changed the whole vibe of the classroom, NONE Of the kids knew that name but she "educated" us on it and brought her own Fortune telling powers and ruined it for herself.

When really she should have said nothing and waited if it was going to be an issue.

Why is it always the male "friend" who's been crushing on us for years who ends up finding us??? Smh. This asshole had created a Photobucket photo album with lingerie pics of me, and with my real name in the caption. I had to get Photobucket to take it down, but I have no idea how long it'd been up before I saw it. This is a dude I fucking went to high school with, and he's currently on my state's sex offender registry...

That sounds awful Thebrownfox. Happened to me too, this guy who always had a crush on me found me and felt the need to tell me on facebook. He didn't say or do anything since than tough. I think this guys that had a thing for us feel the need to have this revenge thing like:"caught ya" and shoving it in your face.

You can be married with kids and still cam lol. Of course it takes an open minded guy, but it's actually (in my opinion) a great job for moms. I'm pretty much a stay at home mom, except I work a couple hours after the little ones in bed. I only wish I'd started at your age. I'd have a much larger nest egg by now and probably own a home. I say as long as you like it, keep going. Save Save Save! if you want to teach at post secondary level I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you want to teach little kids it might be a problem. Unlikely but possible.

Hi everyone

Ive heard many different answers to this, but Im not sure what to believe. If youve worked in the adult industry and decide to leave it to work on a career youve always wanted, can you be denied or fired if the the company your working for finds out your past in the xxx industry? I started camming young and I wish this question im asking is something I put a little more time and thought into before starting camming incase it effects my career choices in the future


ive been a camgirl for over 4 years and im pretty well known, I also have a youtube channel which has a large following that has nothing to do with camming (i just do makeup etc) and TONS of people who know me off camming find me there (I dont mention my youtube anywhere on adult sites) I mean, I dont care who finds out my adult work stuff, But I do care if im unable to work in the career I want to be in when I decide to quit camming at the end of this year to focus on a job in the real world (I want to work with refugee charities and work on animal reserves) and im scared being a past adult worker from camming will effect that greatly...

what do you guys think...?

Hi there Mishimishi :)

Are you US based? I am in the UK so I imagine it's very different.

I haven't personally had issues. Up until recently I volunteered with very vulnerable people (young people and adults); so an extensive background check was needed and I was fully prepared to be rejected but I wasn't. I don't know whether or not anything came up, but you know, that may be of some comfort to you..

I think the thing with sex work is, you do have to make it worthwhile if you catch my drift (and by the sounds of it, you have - go you! )

I hope that's some comfort to you. There may be those with opposing views, but I would be VERY surprised if camming caused you any issues working with refugee charities or animal shelters.

what do you guys think...?

From what I have seen/heard, it just depends on those in the field you are leaning toward. Some careers are very strict on such things...like being a teacher is one of them if I'm not mistaken. In some states, you can be fired for any reason and/or no reason at all so if someone wants to be an asshole to you in upper management who may find out...they can. That is like the "right to work' states like Florida (where I am)...You can be fired for no reason...so if you manager doesn't like you, they can just fire you if they want to.

I say give it a shot! I don't think it would hurt to at least try to follow your career goals and see what happens.
