View Full Version : Have a Question Related to Camming? Unsure Where to Ask? Post ANY AND ALL Here!

I agree - take some time to feel him out. I'm pretty open about it as soon as I know I have a long-term interest in someone, but my camming is more of an "open secret" amongst my friends (who are all very sexually progressive) and also something I intend to eventually talk to my close family about.
I will say this - since beginning camming, I've ended two relationships. One ended amicably, the other really badly. I think if the latter guy believed he could hold it over me in order to get me to stay, he would've done it in a heartbeat. And I think if he'd known any of my close friends, he'd have told them the filthiest things he could think of after I left.
Basically, just remember that virtually all relationships end at one point or another. The way someone is when you've just started seeing them doesn't tell you much about how he'll be when you part ways.

Great thread! I am wondering if anyone has had any luck deleting their account and starting over particulary on MFC and Chaturbate. CB I had good luck at first but its run dry and MFC I just can't save it now... Is this allowed, to make a new account on the same site? Thanks!

On MFC they're cracking down heavily on people restarting accounts. There used to be a waiting period, now I think they don't want you to do it at all. On CB though they don't care at all, I even think you can have more than one account at the same time.

I just started dating someone new who knows I have a vanilla job, but I haven't told him about camming yet. This is the first time I've encountered the whole dating/camming thing........ This new one is sticky because only 3 people know I cam, I would really prefer to keep it quiet-ish and me and this boy share alot of mutual friends........... Any advice please please PLEASE.
Edit for clarification: I don't even know if it's gonna get serious enough or whatever to where I feel it's a 'NEED-TO-KNOW' thing, but I also don't wanna wait too long and then make some bullshit big reveal thus coming off as shadey, if that makes sense? I'm super overthinking this.
After reading a few guy's posts on here related to dating while camming/stripping/any "Sex Work"/etc..... I'm of the opinion that it is better left unsaid until it is considered "serious" or whatev.
It seems as though the dudes [who've posted on SW] are ultimately considering how it affects THEM personally, not necessarily you.....whether it be his own embarrassment or how he willed be viewed by others, or even in a previous thread in Camming Connection...how it would impact him professionally. It's an understandable concern for both parties involved.
Echoing what others said, gauge his attitude..... even with some nonchalant sex-worker related comments/questions.
If the relationship is potentially going to out you to mutual friends....... um...yeah, it very well might come up in convo between them during the good times or ESPECIALLY if it ends, badly or not.
I have personally tried to mention my job upfront. It leads dudes to reveal their true colors REAL QUICK. I've blown off a handful of dudes...friends, potential dates/boyfs, etc. since immediately realizing that these particular dudes figured I was an "easy lay", slutty, will fuck anything, or just kinda like, "yeahhhh I can't really get past that."
Plz let us know what develops!

Just an update: I'm sitting here watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze on my laptop using my son's Beyblade headphones, and it's all good. So yeah, I need to get rid of my Philips headphones and get some new ones.
When I watch internet porn, I always use headphones. :P

Magical_Hoohah, I might have an answer for you actually. I believe you can get away with reading almost anything but to be on the safe side...you should tried to find out what your customers want you to read in the meantime? I know this experience comes from me being a pso but one of my customers paid me to read "All quiet on the Western Front" because he had a WWI fetish. Just find out what kind of stuff they wants you to read? Do they want erotica? romance? or just hardcore perverse stuff. You could read all of the older classics such as "The story of O", "Venus in Furs", "The Perfumed Garden" or even the Karma Sutra. You can even read about sex magick :) I hope this helps a bit?
Thanks ClassyCara, MellyMay, & DonaDiabla! I suspected a PSO might have more info about this. I had totally forgotten about all the stuff published prior to copyright laws, which is all fair game. I own a copy of The Story of O, too, hooray! I don't think the custies were looking for something in particular, it was more an "I just want to hear you speak" kind of request. I assumed it would go over best if I were nude and the story were naughty.
I tried to look at the actual copyright laws, but my legalese is only so-so. I might be wrong, but it sounds like you can only "perform" or "broadcast" ANY copyrighted material if it's for education (hence the Kindergarted teacher), nonprofit, or research. Clearly SM only cares if it's a TV show, since most of us "broadcast" copyrighted music all the time, and we certainly aren't nonprofit! If anyone is curious to see the actual law, these are links to the whole law and the part I thought was applicable:

I adore how thorough you are! (lol, my first thought of a "pso" was....Phantasy Star Online or Policy Studies Organization- http://www.ipsonet.org/ - the OF COURSE, the PSO we consider here on SW. Derp derp.)
I think it may be fun to consider writing your own erotica. Therefore, it's more personal and YOU know what and when you want to emphasize, not to mention avoiding copyright laws in general. PLUS, someone might be interested in purchasing it from you as well! OR, for a contribution for a lil' more than just hearing you read, they can provide a scenario and then you can customize it for the individual......
I realized I have a filthy mouth & I looooooooooove righting (esp. autobiographical leaning stuff) so I've slowly begun creating my own erotica. And who knows.......maybe I'll get published someday! (Nothing AT ALL like '50 Shades...' whatsoever.)

^^^ LOL! Don't worry - every time I see "PSO," I immediately think of the USO (the organization that entertains military troops). And thanks for the nice words (in truth, I'm mostly just a perfectionist - aka anal)!
I agree that writing my own erotica would be the best. I have a decently filthy mouth in the heat of the moment, but when it comes to writing it, I sort of seize up, lol. Maybe there should be a Camgirl/PSO erotica lending library. You could rent out the broadcasting rights to your stories for a certain number of hours, and then they would disappear like they do when you borrow an e-book from the library. Ladies that can write could make money; ladies that have sexy voices could make money; guys could pay to listen to good erotica in a sexy voice... everyone wins! (Ok, I haven't thought out all the details, but it sounds nice to me.)
And yeah, no offense to those that liked 50 Shades, but if that can get published, almost anything can...

^ I know there are prob lots of 50 shades fans here.......and I hope I didn't antagonize anyone! The book wasn't for me (Uh, YEAH, the Story of O = much better, IMO, but probably less "Real life relatable" than 50 shades.)...... BUT that series of books really helped my vanilla friends try out some stuff in their own sex lives' while also allowing them to realize that, "Hey, maybe Melissa is not a TOTAL freak!" I couldn't get past the 8th grade reading level kind of writing style.... ***CONFESSION: I did read the first 2 twilight books before the "OMG THIS IS FOR A 5TH GRADER" feeling kicked in.***
I'm the kind of person that writes things but not for mass comsumption & FREAKS OUT when someone offers criticism.....constructive or not. I imagine, though, that dudes on a cam site are not there to analyze one's writing style, syntax, grammar, etc. As long as he's getting off....it must be working.
I would seriously be into an e-book library thing. I will do my best to look into that! I'm gonna PM you soon-ish!
There is some wee little legal loophole of "Parody" law..... most recently here in LA, a place called "Dumb St*rbucks" opened and are supposedly operating under that. They explain it better here: 36412... Not sure how you could spin reading others' writing in this way, but I imagine it could be somewhat easier than going other routes....
The application of the what is considered "art" could theoretically apply to our jobs in various ways.
***Disclaimer: I am aware that I derail topics sometimes, but I think everything I wrote above was relevent to the question about copyright law & camming. Plz let me know if you think otherwise***8)

*Total derail!*
The most common reaction I got after people read 50 Shades was "OMFG OMFG! This is amazing! Now I totally get why you're into this BDSM shit! I have to buy some ben wa balls RIGHT NOW!"
Two weeks later... "Um, no matter what I do, my ben wa balls aren't giving me an orgasm. Also, my new butt plug just makes me feel like I need to poo. Why the HELL did you tell us that BDSM was so great?!"
Lol & smh.

Same here... I got approved but haven't started yet because my laptop is not superpowerful and it's older than yours (it works perfectly for any other site, though) and my upload connection speed is a miserable 5 Mbps. When I watch the girls on SM everyone looks super professional with amazing streaming and perfect image. And all those stories about the troublesome encoder and the glitches and the site not working scare me to death. SM is the more intimidating site to me.
hopefully when my webcam comes this week I'll try and see if I'll have any problems

OK! So I'm thinking I'm going to try and do a splitcam show with Chaturbate and cam4 tomorrow...nott sure how to go about this tho... my CB regs are awesome...my c4 following not so much.. I was thinking of just doing my reg CB show and instead of giving c4 an actual goal maybe just a "tip if u like" or something... it's more that I ASSUME I will reach my goals on CB MUCH faster than c4...so I'm not sure how to pace it. After all, I don't want to be seen on c4 as a girl who just gets down and dirty for what LOOKS like nothing...anyone got tips?
Like should I just give c4 a similar goal and if they don't reach it by the time CB does maybe get off?? Or no goal?
I am also unsure of how to deal with talking to two rooms at once..HOW DO U GIRLS DO THAT SHIT?!
I'm just SICK of how unreliable c4 can BE. I really want to build a following there [ cos someones I do insanely well] but it's sooo hard to get on when I know theres a huge chance it will be 3 hours of nothing but people saying hi and begging. So I thought maybe doing summa that splitcam might help me a bit. Cos I wouldn't be so fucking bored.
Any tips/help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you have an issue with giving cam4 a show that cb guys paid for then i would suggest you turn off cam4 once cb hits goal if you feel that they havent tipped enuf to get the show. and honesty i think guys can figure it out after a while if ur on a tokens site and a free chat and talking about tokens and pvt or what not or they see ur talking to a bunch of ppl whos user names arent in the room XD
maybe try putting making it a game on cam4 (even tho u know cb is gonna get it first it MAY make them tip enuf to earn to stay loged in with u ) something like whos gonna get me topless first cam4 or cb? and make it race let them know that only the site that gets u topless first get a chance at progressing to whatever end goal ur doing that day .

Hello! I am new to webcam and have a question. first let me give some background on me :) I am 35 and Im married. I spent my early 20's escorting, My late 20's in the Porn industry. I was considered, chubby, plumper, and sometimes bbw. The last 5 years I have worked for myself on the Niteflirt site doing phone only, and did great...I played with the idea of camming, but wasn't completely convinced I would be any good. I gained some weight, still a smaller bbw now, and I do have a lot of my porn videos online now, they have made it to free websites, so I'm not worried about exposure. However, when shooting porn videos, I would keep my hair pulled down to cover my left breasts because I was extremely self conscience of it being smaller than my right. I know that you can still see the size difference throughout the videos, but being that most of the time the camera was on the act of penetration, it wasn't as noticeable.
Now, I do know every woman is different, and Im actually fine with my different breast size now, Mostly because my husband makes me feel so beautiful :)
But I also know on cam I will be showing my breasts, and Im just wondering if it would affect my income, because of the difference. both breasts sit up, but my right is a d cup, and my left is much smaller probably a full b cup or c cup. This probably seems like a strange question, but I dont want it to affect my income. I do not want to change my breasts and get an implant in just one. I actually am comfortable with them, and I think it lets people know not everyone is perfect ;)
So please if anyone can give me advice about this breasts situation of mine...lol couldn't think of another term..
I have already applied for streamate gotten my pictures all approved, now just waiting for final approval so I can start.
Thank you everyone in advance for your thoughts.

this is pretty common. I also have 1 breast a cup sizer bigger then the other but it's not that noticeable. It shouldn't affect your income. If a man is worried about that something is wrong. he should be happy with just even being able to see some skin ;-)

What is the best site for sending video links?
I've tried google drive, and you have to have a gmail to open the video. Some guys don't want to make a free gmail name. I then tried media fire and got videos pulled for violating terms of service. Ugg! I just want to be able to send a video link lol Help please :)

Depends on the mood I'm in. Either "Take me pvt and I'll do a lot more than that!" or if I feel like fucking with them, "Now why would I do a thing like that?"
If I worked a tipping site I'd ask for a tip, probably 3 or 5 gold on SM.

Please, let me ask you lovely ladies a question in regards to webcam advance settings. I love my BCC Conference cam and the way I can just enter a digital amount for for white balance,exposure and etc. Example below:
36839
But when I go into my Logitech software and select my orbit or the C920 I get :
36840
It drives me insane not being able to put in an exact amount. If someone has a workaround, if you know of a different software that would allow me to insert my settings exactly I would be oh so grateful. As is the c920 seems to be too HD and I don't like wearing a lot of makeup on cam. Cuz right now I'm not happy with the way I look in it. I was trying to save some money but I just may go get another conference cam. Any suggestions would be great thank you.
Magical_Hoohah
03-17-2014, 02:26 PM
You have so many handy settings on the BCC, and the numeric values would be amazing. I want!
I don't know of any way to enter numeric values for the settings if you're using the c920, but maybe someone else does. Have you tried to un-check "auto" next to "gain" and "white balance," so you can adjust your exposure, gain and white balance?
For me, that makes a HUGE difference. If I leave it on auto, the gain setting makes me look really harsh. It really intensifies the lighter areas, so I look kind of shiny and even more unhealthfully pale than I really am. The auto white balance puts me on settings that are way too cool colored, somewhere in the blue/green area. So yeah, the combo of shiny, paper white, and slightly green = VERY unappealing. LOL. You can also see every little imperfection, so "too HD" is right!

No un-ticking auto settings and even right light technology doesn't seem to give me this option. Am thinking its a software issue? And I am missing a step. I would bet that if this could be figured out more people would love logitech webcams. Even the cheaper ones. Imagine getting a $30 6 megapixels Logitech that had the ability to enter the info numerically? I'm gonna investigate but in the meantime if anyone wants to chime in please do.

I'm new here and to all of this stuff. I've only recently turned 18 and want to do camming, but I'm so completely lost. I know nothing about taxes. I'm going to go get a bank account set up in a few days and I have no clue what kinds of questions I should ask so that I can camgirl without screwing myself over financially because I made a mistake. Is there anyone who can help me out, or throw some links my way? I've been lurking around here trying to read about it all but I'm so lost.

the only thing u really have to do with taxes is keep track of your earnings everything u spend that u can deduct from what u owe and every time u get paid put aside 30% of it. the tricky thing comes into what u can detect

D'oh! I just looked at my calendar and realized that something is coming up at the end of this month that requires a $50 fee that I will not have. I do have a Payoneer card and even a GiftRocket account, but I've never had guys send me money that way before. If I were to post some sort of Skype session/panties/etc. for $ offer...which of those payment methods would you recommend for someone who needs to have the money in her hands by March 28th?
I haven't been active on CMD for a while, but I know that's another option...but only if I managed to get someone on there to spend about $75 before Mark sends payouts this Sunday.
I'm gonna do a search for some GiftRocket/Payoneer threads on here.

TheBrownFox - payoneer private load takes about 2 business days to process so you should be okay if a guy pays you this way but remember until it states LOADED on your card they can still cancel the transaction so don't provide a show or services until it says that! I also find payoneer can be finicky and request more info like scanned IDs and such that the guy might not be willing to provide to verify their identity when making a payment.

Thank you - I actually had a lot of stuff cleared up for me yesterday. I'm confused on what you mean by that last bit "the tricky thing comes into what you can detect" what exactly do you mean?
I also am not sure what to say when I go into the bank. I'm going to need to ask some questions about like, tax id stuff and I'm not sure what job I should say I have? I figured it wouldn't be a great idea to come right out and say that I camgirl to the person, so what other job would require everything that a camgirl requires?

Have them send you a greendot money pak. They go to a Walgreens,Grocery Store or whereever and then give you the number. You go online and add it to your greendot account. Its on your card within 20 minutes. I use this method with family members. Occasionally customers. By the 28th you could have received several payments by then.

Payouts from this week will be sent on the 30th unless you ask Mark to do it a week earlier :-(. Dunno if it is possible.
I haven't been active on CMD for a while, but I know that's another option...but only if I managed to get someone on there to spend about $75 before Mark sends payouts this Sunday.

Thank you - I actually had a lot of stuff cleared up for me yesterday. I'm confused on what you mean by that last bit "the tricky thing comes into what you can detect" what exactly do you mean?
I also am not sure what to say when I go into the bank. I'm going to need to ask some questions about like, tax id stuff and I'm not sure what job I should say I have? I figured it wouldn't be a great idea to come right out and say that I camgirl to the person, so what other job would require everything that a camgirl requires?
i mean things that u can deduct should claim as income IE gift cards and stuff thats stuff ull research here on ur own but just go thru the tax thread thats stickied and in dollar den

Hi I am new here. I'm about to start this job and I have an important question: I'm Spanish, my English is low, I wonder if I can make enough without mastering the language, or if you have a page of Spanish speakers. Thank you!

Have them send you a greendot money pak. They go to a Walgreens,Grocery Store or whereever and then give you the number. You go online and add it to your greendot account. Its on your card within 20 minutes.
I don't have a GreenDot account or card, so I'd have to go the route of just loading the Moneypak number into my PayPal account. Thanks for all of your help, ladies!

When you record shows with the encoder, where do the files go? I can't seem to find the folder they go in :/ is it a default folder? ughghghg

I don't know the default because I have mine set to where I want it to save, but if you do a system search for .f4v files, then sort by date, you should see it in the results and track it from there.

I'm new here and to all of this stuff. I've only recently turned 18 and want to do camming, but I'm so completely lost. I know nothing about taxes. I'm going to go get a bank account set up in a few days and I have no clue what kinds of questions I should ask so that I can camgirl without screwing myself over financially because I made a mistake. Is there anyone who can help me out, or throw some links my way? I've been lurking around here trying to read about it all but I'm so lost.
OK I notice you said you wanted to go open and bank account and directly say you're a camgirl..but are you yet? I mean have you even TRIED it?! That's a big thing to claim befor evn starting lol. Just tell the bank you want an account. If they ask what you do for work say you're between jobs OR that you work in sales online. That's what I usually say [unless my bf rino is there..he's all freedom sex work fighter and doesn't like to hide SHIT but we have been at it for 2 years now so whatevs]
As for your confusion? Keep reading and try it out! A lot of the confusion may dissapate once you check out the various sites and their cam software and members. The way a cam room runs depending on which sites you chooce to start with.
Being a cam model is very much about YOU. Take all your learn from your research and try it out. Only YOU can really decide if it's for you and how you will make your $.
Good luck!

No un-ticking auto settings and even right light technology doesn't seem to give me this option. Am thinking its a software issue? And I am missing a step. I would bet that if this could be figured out more people would love logitech webcams. Even the cheaper ones. Imagine getting a $30 6 megapixels Logitech that had the ability to enter the info numerically? I'm gonna investigate but in the meantime if anyone wants to chime in please do.
Hey, PhatGirlDynomite!!! I accidentally stumbled onto an answer for your numerical values question. If you get/have VerySoft Webcamsplitter, you can use it to adjust all the c920 settings numerically. So you can run your c920 into Verysoft, adjust the settings as desired, then run Verysoft into whatever you want. The zoom, tilt, and pan settings on Verysoft are much nicer than the native Logitech ones, too.
I got Verysoft not that long ago, and I believe it was $20. Free would be nice, but $20 has to be cheaper than scrapping a perfectly good c920.
HTH.

Thank you homie! I've contacted some programmers to help me go in and adjust the settings. But time and a break down in communication has prevented me from getting the answers I seek. I will try this out. It could also help with cheaper webcams. Thank you

Okay. Finally posting in the camming section. I've worked as a stripper on and off for about 8 years, but have never cammed. My city gets really dead in the summertime, and I'm thinking camming might be a good way to supplement my income when there aren't tourists/conventioneers in town. Thought about it and wimped out for the past few years, but I think I'm finally ready to give it a shot. I have a couple of really dumb newbie questions.
What do you do when you have to pee? I understand on most sites you can't make men pay to watch.
What do you do when someone is at your door? UPS/friend/neighbor/random drunk person/etc? The room I would set up for camming is in the front of a shotgun-style house.
Do I get in trouble if a dog walks into the room? What about if dogs are barking in the background? What do I do if one (or all of) my dogs starts barking (kinda goes back to the previous question) while I'm doing a show?
Is it realistic to think I can sit around reading a book or working on a project while I wait for someone to want to spend money on me?
What about eating a snack or drinking a cup of tea or a beer? Does that look weird?
On Streammate, for example, can you update your profile to fit your mood? Can I get away with being 22 one day and 32 the next?
Should I play up being a New Orleans pole dancer? Or just try to be as anonymous as possible? FWIW, all my friends and family know what I do.
I really don't want to be broke again this summer. Thanks for having a thread where I feel comfortable posting dumb questions.

Hey there! I am currently saving up to get a new computer (I broke my roommate's computer one night... I'm a clutz.. and thankfully he's very forgiving. ) HOWEVER, I brought home my 7 year old acer desktop from my mom's. It still works well, but my question is do you suppose it will suffice for now as far as using it to cam? I know it needs a new graphic card at the very least. It currently runs XP os. I figured that if I try to work with this for a while that the money I make online (plus at my regular job) I could get a new one in no time?
