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...?

Here is the thing since you are growing a youtube channel, you could turn that into a business. where if you do happen to lose your opportunities going into the career of your choice you have something to fall back on.

ME personally that is where I would focus on when you create your own income outside of sex work you create more options for yourself. When you are running a business you are in charge and get to decide who you get to work with, and the bigger your audience you've built online the more options you have.

So it's better to focus on YOU creating YOUR options and opportunities then worrying about what options out there are created by someone else.

Please help!!! :-[:'(
I'm really worried because I want to be a medic and do my medical residency in the US.
I live in Mexico, I'm not a US citizen and I recently read about the background checks. I was camming in a site and I didn't show my face at all. I only made $60 and I didn't get recorded or anything else I wanted to keep all of this lowkey, I'm being very discret about this. Even if is a little amount of money Is it going to appear on a background check? I wanted to make some extra money because is really difficult to get a job here and the situation is worse and worse everyday (I'm studying medicine so this is an issue too because I don't have time to find another job) Also I'm getting paid through payoneer. I'm sorry if this sounds a little bit paranoid but, Is this going to affect my future career? If I decide to do the medical residency in Canada, Is this going to affect too?:'(
Payoneer asked me about my passport, and they have all my information. My boyfriend is american and we are planning to get married, if I become a legal citizen of the US (he knows about the camming stuff so this is not an issue to him) Will this still show up on a background check even if I'm mexican and then get legal??
I've read other treads and someone wrote that they can only give you work in hospital prisons or something like that :'(
I'm planning not to do camming again, but I can't undo what is already done
Please reply!!! I'm really sad and afraid!!!:'(

At this point, I would say you have nothing to worry about. Maybe always work with a mask on? Find a very cute only, that only covers your eyes so its not too annoying to the guys who want to see face. After you become legal in the US, only amounts over 600 $/year are reported to the IRS, then you have to pay taxes and things start to become traceable. Good Luck!

There is a fine line of being cautious and paranoid.

There are 100s of cam sites out there, and with 1,000s of models on them world wide.

In the media you only hear of cam models who put themselves in positions to be interviewed or who make themselves a public scandal.

Then there is the batch who make all their money live their lives and you never hear about them EVER.

Then there are the one who are posting regularly on forums. they tend to be loudest. but still don't speak for the whole industry.

With camming it comes with a level of ownership and responsibility. I've noticed over the years a lot around here are not doing that.

Here is the thing if you have a plan for a certain career and you are using camming as a source of income and in your working life camming comes up in your journey you need to be ready to take ownership and responsibility for the outcome. NO ONE can predict what the fall out will look like. Being outed could happen and it also can not happen.

So it's up to you to take the steps to follow what need to be done legal for your work, filing taxes and following the model agreement.

If you are the type that thinks you are going to cam forever and this is your forever career you need to plan and adjust what that will look like.

Shit happens in life. burn out happens a lot in our work, and people change their minds all the time.

I know when I was outed it was because I was promoting myself to be in as many places as possible, I also knew with my career path that I wanted to be in something where I am working for myself.

If you are so set on your dream career, and you are working cam right now , you need to really think of the possibility what if you get outed and you can not work that career. You also have to look at it as a variable not a complete outcome.

You need to plan for what you want and adjust if does not happen.

Bit of a different question..was wondering what skills you feel camming has provided you with which could be beneficial to a future career? (besides marketing yourself)

I know I want to build my own business but I am not sure in what. I'm passionate about fitness, and I also love the idea of counselling and giving advice in some capacity. I am half-halfheartedly pursuing a Masters in a business-related field, but I am really doing it as a kind of back-up. I was wondering if anyone had had any similar thoughts or ideas for moving into something different? A lot of you have spoken about Real Estate and Affiliate Marketing; and I'd be keen to hear of any other ideas you might have had. :)

I, personally, don't worry that my future career will be ruined because of camming. I want to become a writer and this experience will just enrichen me. :)
Also, you're wondering, if it's worth it. It's not all about the money. If you feel happy while doing it and feel like it's the right thing then ir is worth it. It gives you thick skin, creative mind and makes your social skills better. :) Just follow your heart and if someone doesn't understand ir support, ditch those people.

Ok, I wanna start to be a camgirl and I've read a lot about security. I've heard a lot of girls here talk about how people will DEFINITELY find out who I am, but consider these variables:

- I'm not from north america/europe +
- I'll geoblock my whole country +
- Where I live, banks, schools and jobs don't do background checks to see where I've previously worked or where my money came from +
- I'll use a totally random name +
- I'll wear a face mask and wig +
- I already know that I must not use paypal or show wishlists, nor should I click on random links my clients send me +
- I really don't wanna gather too much attention at all (tbh, my goal is to acchieve 50 dollars a month).

Will I STILL be outted?

Also, a question:
- I know I'll have to pay for (great) percentage of what I earn to the website. But since I'm from another continent, will I still have to pay for american/european based taxes?

Thanks, dolls!

The question should be, will you still want to be a camgirl if you were outed? Only YOU can decide that.

Yes, you'll be outed...if only because you're trying too hard not to be.

For taxes, you'll pay income tax based on your earnings. In most cases it doesn't matter where they came from originally.

Hey all, I have some questions for you!

So, I'm 22 now and camming is something I've been highly interested since around the age of 16. I never dreamed of any insane amounts of money (it's absolutely amazing and awesome that this is a full time job for so many!!), but I've always considered it a fun option on the side for a quick couple hundred every week.

But, I have some questions.

1.) I'm currently attending a private college (I'm a 5th year, took a year off) and use internet through them as I am housed on campus. Can they track this? I know that if they can track this and are bothered to do so, they could find some way to expel me using the handbook but somehow I doubt anybody at my school is that intent on doing that. And should camming be an option for me, is it even worth attempting to do if there is a certain volume level I have to stay below due to dorm living?

2.) Is the hassle of taxes worth using this as a side job? I realize most gals' goal is $1000 a week to make a reasonable yearly income after taxes (I think I saw a number like $32,000 after taxes in the US?), but is it even worth trying to just scrape in two or three hundred dollars a week when you consider taxes?

3.) I'm almost at the end of my education, and my career is as an Elementary Teacher. Is there ANY way I could make this side job work and untraceable in background checks?

I'm really interested in this. I've done some private cam shows for some tumblr followers for fun or for silly things like a new toy, a cheap game on Steam, or some lotion from B&BW, but I know that I enjoy showing of for others in a low-pressure environment. I have no interest (at least currently) in maintaining this as a solo job, so if for any reason I get burnt out or it just doesn't work out for me, its no big deal in the long run. Literally, the only concern for myself is taxes and backgrounds checks. If those things are a no go, then it's simply not an option. Otherwise, I'm really excited to start researching my set up and dip my toes in the water!!

Mmm. Just read through this thread (didn't find it before my post was moved here). Very disappointed now. I was looking forward to doing this as a hobby and side job and the fact that I can't is a bit crushing.

1) They can't track this necessarily...however, there are two methods that you could be "busted". One is if they have any kind of adult site logging or filtering. Normally in IT a certain low level of porn surfing is perfectly tolerated, but using massive amounts of bandwidth to stream would be a no-no. The other is that fact that you will be almost non-stop streaming. They can monitory uploading bandwidth that either speaks to piracy or streaming...and may require you to explain some things. As a general rule, dorm room internet tends to be too shitty to cam regardless.

2) You pay a percent of your earnings whether you make a little or a lot. The less you make, the lower the percentage. Its the same taxation level for any job you would get. Taxes are never a legit excuse not to work. Now, if you're still a dependent on your parents' taxes...that's a different story. This will definitely be something they will find out about in this case.

3) There is no "porn work" central repository for permanent records and no legit background check will know about this (or care if they do). How you may get busted, if at all, is if a parent or student happens to find some traces of you on the internet somewhere and decides to raise a stink. I've never known a case of this happening to a cammodel, though there are 2-3 cases where it happened to legit A- and B-list porn stars.

@Alyria Maybe you can strip if your location and situation allows it. Shit like camming/clips does have a paper trail unfortunately. I think ordinary background checks won't find out, but it's a serious thing to consider. Teaching in schools is one of the worst things for any sort of porn star or camgirl I'm sorry but it's true. I think for most jobs though, camming isn't a problem.

Some campuses do monitor the streams, there have been cases where there turn on people's cams without their knowledge & watch them.

What is more important to you & dream of 16 & being infamous on the web for sex or what you are going to college for? You are almost there & now you want to throw that degree away? for what? so men will want to fuck you? No need to do cam for that, plenty of horny men I am sure all around you. ]

You will never be a teacher for long if you even cam one day. Some girls NEVER make $200 for a few hours a week on cam, much less $1000 a week. 80% will quit within the first week because they didn't make money.

FUN! No, honey, this is work. Go look at all the girls on the bottom of page 5, do they look like they are having fun or making money. There are very few who get to the top of the first page which is where you probably go watch. Go to the 2nd page & further back, there are plenty who don't make money.

Now, I have no idea why you want to become a teacher. No money in it either, but you are paying money to go to college for it. Now, you want to through it all away for camming.. Is this a joke?

Did you do any research? How many teachers lose their job due to a side gig of porn aka camming? plenty

Welcome to reality. Life can be harsh. One little scandal for women can taint them for life when it comes to a career.

http://dailycaller.com/2015/09/14/high-school-band-teacher-abruptly-resigns-after-her-porn-star-double-life-gets-exposed/

All cam shows are recorded & posted all over the internet for FREE! In which, you will never be able to hunt them all down & have them removed.

There are all kinds of stories where a local teacher gets fired for such stuff. They don't call it just a cam girl but a porn star. No school is going to employ you once your pussy has been seen on the web.

07-13-2017, 08:33 AM
Why would you have a paper trail leading back to this industry for $50 a month?

Like let's be real here. There are so many other things you can do for an extra $50 a month. I don't know if you made a typo and meant $500 or what.

This is a high stress bullshit job in my personal opinion, and I wouldn't do this for 1 second just to make side money or whatever.

IvyAdams

There is such a distorted view of what our jobs actually entail and it's always heartbreaking to see new models coming through thinking that it will be a fun and easy side job, not realizing that it can be emotionally, mentally and physically draining.. ESPECIALLY at the beginning when you are working on building up a fan base. I absolutely love this career and make great money doing it but even I have days where I rage and hate the world because I feel like I'm failing. It's not an easy job.
Being a camgirl is ALL about sales technique, marketing, production,streaming/computer knowledge, knowing how to entertain a room even when they are staring at you in silence, dealing with the massive amounts of trolls that you will inevitably get (who know just what to say to tear you down, with the SOLE purpose of making you freak out/cry on cam so they can post it out to the world.) And you need to be able to do all this simultaneously with a smile on your face.

There will be days/weeks/months where you spend hours working on something only to have no money coming in, there will be weeks where you have to log on even though you are going through a tough time and still show the fuck up and put on a show- because if you don't then the members will move on and find a model who WILL show up.

Unless you truly go in with your eyes wide open: researching how to be successful and utilizing those techniques successfully, realizing that you will have your streams recorded, you will have people who recognize you, you will be able to be traced since you have to sign up with your legal name and information on every site that you would work on...then you won't make near enough money to make it worth the risk of losing the career you want full time.

It is very rare for a model to come through, do it as a fun side job and make enough money to make it worth it.

all that being said, if you put in the time and effort this can be a very rewarding career and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Just don't go in with the rose colored glasses. :)

Hey girls, thanks for all your answers!

But tbh, I'm still confused... exactly HOW can someone trace you down and "out" you if you don't show your face?

Are you really this naive?
Really facial recognition software. Google your face? How many social media mentions & sites with your real name & info pop up?

How many cam girls on any given cam site do you see hiding their face? How many girls on the first two page wearing a mask?

There are countless threads on this site of new girls camming 8 hours & didn't make $10. Did you miss those threads?

Oh, there are plenty of success stories in this industry, but ONLY those who took it seriously & put in time & effort to learn their craft.

$200 or even $50 a week for a few hours on cam rarely happens for newbies.

You want to be a school teacher. You came here & asked our advice YET denounce it. Why bother if you know better.......................

Go ahead cam & throw away 4 years of that money & education. Cam & make money paying off student loan debts for an education you will never use if you cam.

All jobs will be listed on your credit report. Anything out of the norm will be further investigated by the school.

One of my friends works in a school system, he put in his resume for a higher position. He was given the competition's names & told to go dig up dirt on them to disqualify them for the job. They all were given the same objective.

There was a young lady who did a handful of solo videos. Quit the adult biz, then did youtube & only showed her hands. She became famous with kids simply opening up new toys & playing with them. She was making $5 million a year on youtube. One of the fathers recognized her voice & outed her.

But you keep thinking you can do this & never be discovered. You will tell someone, a boyfriend, a best friend, they will tell someone else & then soon everyone will know.

Everything in your room will give you away.

When we went to Fl a few weeks ago, my friends boyfriend pulled my husband aside to "warn" him about me. LOL he was like yo I dont know if you know this or not but your girl used to do camshows on the internet. My husband was like yea I know I'm her stunt cock, whats up? LOL What I do was none of his business but he felt it was some sort of bro code to rat me out. Meanwhile his gf, my friend is an escort and he doesnt know about that. Over here worrying about what Im doing. People will out you just because it's Thursday.

All because he thinks of you as damaged goods & his 'friend' needs protecting from a Femme Fatale. Not that every man doesn't watch porn or cam shows & are just as 'Bad'. What a jerk that guy is.

He said he was trying to look out for my husband. A person he had only just met the day before. Laughable. His loyalty should have been to me since he's dating my friend of 20 years. She's the one who told him in the first place to be honest. So most likely she co-signed on the fuckery because she's struggling. Meanwhile she's got ads on BP. :) The moral of the story is.. Step into the light and make money because then no one can touch you. They will try but it wont work.

I'd joke about it right to their faces over dinner. How he thought he was being a snake & trying to poison your marriage, as if you'd keep secrets from the man who is with you good or bad. My problem would be with her for bringing a snake like that into my life. And I've jumped in the middle of my friends shit for those kinds of guys too.
Now, they warn their men right off the bat. No one has done more for me & you can never say anything bad about Sam or it is over. In fact, I know their husbands, their husband's family. Go to lunches with their Grandmothers & everyone knows what I do.

Plus, like you, I know where all their skeletons are buried too. In fact, I have polaroids of their skeletons buried deep in my closet. :)

What is more important to you & dream of 16 & being infamous on the web for sex or what you are going to college for? You are almost there & now you want to throw that degree away? for what? so men will want to fuck you? No need to do cam for that, plenty of horny men I am sure all around you. ]

You will never be a teacher for long if you even cam one day. Some girls NEVER make $200 for a few hours a week on cam, much less $1000 a week. 80% will quit within the first week because they didn't make money.

FUN! No, honey, this is work. Go look at all the girls on the bottom of page 5, do they look like they are having fun or making money. There are very few who get to the top of the first page which is where you probably go watch. Go to the 2nd page & further back, there are plenty who don't make money.

Now, I have no idea why you want to become a teacher. No money in it either, but you are paying money to go to college for it. Now, you want to through it all away for camming.. Is this a joke?

Did you do any research? How many teachers lose their job due to a side gig of porn aka camming? plenty

I have no idea why you decided to be as rude as you did, especially considering you gave no hint that you so much as read the details in my post. ::)

First off, never said I wanted to be infamous. Second off, I explicitly said if this would hinder my career whatsoever, it's a no go. I'm not throwing away nothing, and even if I desired to throw it away it has nothing to do with wanting men.

I also explicitly said I had no interest in making $1000 a week, and that if it didn't pan out or I got burnt out that it would be no skin off my nose.

And yes, fun! I love camming for fun with my followers on various social media. No money involved. Fun. Because I actually enjoy it, which is what you're supposed to find in your job. Same reason for why I want to teach - nice try and attempting to insult my profession, though.

I did quite a lot of research actually, which is how I found this website. I wanted to get the opinions of those with experience in the business, not 80 different scare-quoting articles that toss shame at the industry instead of providing actual information.

Unfortunately, I see that posting here was a waste of time. Not because I got the answer I didn't want, but because of the poor attitudes of holier-than-thou workers who are more intent on pissing on new girls and other careers than to actually be helpful. :heartbeat Thanks for "helping" me out ma'am, maybe you should consider choosing a career that doesn't make you so bitter if you hate it so much.

Also, thank you to the women who gave me actual answers. I really appreciate you! Unfortunately, I'll have to put this idea in the back of my brain if I decide teaching isn't for me after a few years, or if/when I decide to be a stay at home mom. I have no shame with anything and honestly wouldn't care who knew - the only concern for myself was that they could pull my state license. Unfortunately, since that's the case, I'll have to just move on.

Are you serious? "Actual answers" Who the hell are you? You should be grateful for each and every response that you received. You dont get to pick and choose when you yourself have nothing to offer. You just got all kinds of boss advice on this industry for free. Meanwhile you're still deciding if you wanna get dirty or not? If you think Sam was rude...go ahead get started on cam. I suggest ImLive. Go for it! Wait till you see the crap they throw at you. You come here asking all these questions and then have the audacity to get offended when the feedback wasnt dipped in sugar first. Everyone was more than helpful how dare you? Yea please move along.

Oh my, you are young & naive. What men will say when they are getting exactly what they want for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come back to me when you can get ANY OF THEM to spend money on a regular basis.

You think I 'm rude. Wait till you deal with EVERY cam sites customer support & tech issues. The first few hours on a cam site & the predators will tear you apart.

The real world is rough. Men LIE! Men LIE all the time no matter what industry you are in too.

READ YOUR CAM CONTRACT! they will own all visual rights of pictures & video feed. They have the legal right to promote, decimate & use that content with your face forever.. Their affiliates & associates, their heirs will always have the right to use your image with whatever name they want.

So go ahead, trust that studio owner who is trying to recruit you & all those lie about Geo-blocking. How you can do this under the radar & no one will find out.

I'm not bitter, I am real. You are not the first new girl to come at me this way, nor the last. Many of the vets here once thought the very same thing. Then look as to how many times I've been thanked.

We all know to much to consider an newbie a threat to our incomes. I have customers longer than you have been alive who still spend money to see my tits.

If my words sting, it is because deep down you know it is the truth. I'd rather have you hate me for telling the truth then for what if you go through with this experience in real life. We all know what is in store for you. We have read plenty of regret stories right on this site.

Will they pull your state license to teach? YES, there is a moral clause for teachers. Did you not read that part?

I know teachers who made it their careers afterf 25 years call themselves just poorly paid baby sitters. Who spent a lifetime wiping snotty kids noses for very little money. Ick!

Being a teacher or mother is supposed to be noble, reality is most of the time it is living in poverty. Dealing with kids from abused homes & can't really do anything about it. Being a teacher is depressing & hard work.

I hate to take this out of the context(out of the post) and quote it but in the context and out of it, I really dont feel that it is accurate. I've heard lots of stories about teachers who love their work and kids or students who love them back. Lets not bash teachers now. And on the subject, yes, camming can affect lots of future " real world" jobs.

Camming for fun and with accounts already connected to social media, and for free? Yikes.

You've probably already been recorded and have your videos posted online by some of these men. A lot of them love to post recordings especially if they already know your real information, and if they didn't even have to pay for it the chances go up even more.

If you want to teach you really should delete your social media, all of it and do a search for videos with your handles and also real name in case you already got doxxed. It may be too late but if you start now you might be able to minimize the damages.

Majority of articles written about the camming industry are written by men IN the camming industry to recruit girls like this one. Most are bullshit. It is my favorite thing to do is tear those articles apart.

In my research most of those websites, pages all lead to one place....... internet modeling dot com & Live Jasmin. You don't know enough about this industry to tell the difference.

One single picture or video of your bare boobs is enough to end a career as a teacher. Is it fair? no, but that is the reality of it. We live in a very sexist world where the women are punished for men's lust. The very men who laugh & play with you on social media live stream will be the very same men who will judge you unworthy to teach their kids. They will do it without a second thought, too.


Teaching certificates & licenses have a moral clause. Which by now you should already have read & been aware that this violates it. Even if no one found out, you will have lied & broken that clause.

Go ask your professors their thoughts on it. See what they have to say on this matter.

Go ahead mention my name on that feed, see how many of those men know my name & my boobs.

Clearly you like the attention & now you want to make money for it. Welcome to the club.

Those same guys are hitting up all kinds of girls just like you for free boob, booty & pussy shots. They spend all day doing it. They will sit their & flatter you for hours in hopes of a titty flash. Seems like you are already doing what we do, only for free. Which makes you the sucker & those guys are playing you instead of the other way around.

LOL Next time you spend time to research, make sure to look up the woman who you called rude and suggested she go into another industry. She is a legend and a GIANT in the adult industry. You should feel honored that you got advice from her.

and also, it's not our responsibility to be helpful to new people coming into the industry. WE choose to give advice- you aren't entitled to it. In reality- you will be competition if you come in so the fact that you received answers at all should be a reason for you to be appreciative.

We aren't being holier than thou. You are looking at this shit in an all positive light. You can't go about making life changing decisions like this without considering ALL OF THE NEGATIVES-- ESPECIALLY when you want to work in one of the most judgmental industries in America. If you already do all this for free you may have already fucked yourself- it depends how long you have been doing it. If it's not very long, you have a good chance of removing the evidence. If there is too much damage already done then I don't know what to tell ya, but you might not work in the teaching profession until retirement, and yeah you will need to develop your hustle skills either for the adult industry or starting your own business. Yeah you can adapt- that is part of being human, but I really wouldn't piss away what..4 or 6 years of schooling or whatever you need to be a teacher? Is this your passion or what? If it's your passion don't piss it away for nothing or very little in return. If teaching isn't your passion I will shut my mouth on this subject.

Politics and teaching are some of the worst jobs you can try for when you are in the adult industry. It isn't fair- it is completely biased. It isn't like we are violating children, but we sure get treated like it.

This job isn't criminal, but some of the consequences for doing adult work are similar. In some ways, if you get found out, you will be treated like a criminal. Think long and hard about it. There are a LOT of consequences if you get outed. I really don't feel like I should have to go into all that shit, a little searching online and you will learn all about it.

There are no secrets when it is on the web. Actually, there are no more secrets period. There is a camera everywhere, people put their whole lives on social media.

There is no being anonymous anymore on the web, it really is only a matter of time before being found out.

Look at Trump. "I don't know these Russians"......... CNN role tape..

"I don't watch porn." then in next document they put on the web is a screen cap with a porn site tab open on their computer.

There are no secrets. It really is the World Wide Web & we are all caught in it.

Sooooooooo I'm one click away from becoming an active camgirl for Streamate. I'm in my final year of graduate school and this is a great way for supplemental income while I finish up. I want to make sure that my personal information (photo I.D., real photo, address, etc.) is going to stay safe and never be used against me in some crazy vindictive way by some rogue douchebag who works for SM. I realize that they have been around for some time, and thousands upon thousands of cammers come and go. When I rationalize it, I'm pretty sure they have no interest in sabotaging someone's future occupational endeavors, but there is a very hesitant side of me that keeps me skeptical. Any help with this or words from experience would be appreciated.

It all depends on what field you are going to work in... from the sounds of it.... you might not want to hit that broadcast button. You've probably spent a fortune on school.... you just NEVER KNOW what will come and bite you in the ass. I would not start camming unless it meant you wouldn't have place to live, tuition money, or some type of life or death situation in your position. If you just really want to get your freak on, make fabulous money, and a camming history would not hurt you if you co workers ever tried to screw you over.... go for it.

I really would not worry about a SM employee having your info. They are a legit company and their employees are exposed to new girls every day. Now if you are worried about being found out I will echo what many other cammers have said before, you need to realize that someone will find out, you will end up on other sites, etc. It isn't the end of the world, but like MissMoore stated if the career you are working towards is not ok with this type of work, don't risk it. Even part time you are a sex worker. This should be a ok in everyone's eyes, but it is not...
