^^^Thank you to everyone who responded. Even when I was skinny, my stomach was sorta "saggy" and like NitaBaby mentioned, I also had no ass and I would stress about that lol. I have my ass back now but now its my stomach I hate. Its always something right? I've known for a long time that I need to work on my confidence and be less concerned about what men think. As I was typing out my post last night I was already thinking that this was my answer. You all literally gave me something I resonate with big time and this helps so much to feel like Im not so alone in how I feel.

I have nights where guys are responding like crazy to what I do and then other nights where there is nothing but silence. I try to remind myself that a lot of these guys just have their dick in their hand and too busy to type lol. Im gonna work on my confidence instead, think less about what they think, and well....fake it till ya make it. Thanks loves <3


You're welcome. And I have had to work on my self-esteem a shit ton. I still listen to positive affirmations of self-confidence every night. I've been doing that for over a month now. The silence can mess with me for a minute...but I just shake it off. And you're right...they've got their dicks in their hands and the silence isn't always a bad thing.

Since I've been on this site reading, I noticed you talking about listening to positive affirmations and I thought that is such a great idea. So I had been doing it for a little while at night when I sleep. I was waking up having a much better outlook on everything. I'll be getting back on this as well! I've always been into positive thinking and even into how it relates to everything on a cellular level. I believe our deep seeded beliefs that have been ingrained in us throughout our entire lives really shape who we are and how things play out for us on a personal level. That being said, I can see how my life has taken many bad turns as I tend to be more of a pessimist naturally and its such a HARD habit to break. I have gotten better about it but I still need a ton of work. I don't know if you have heard of Bruce H. Lipton but he wrote a book called The Biology of Belief. Real eye opener. Just amazing research into how our thoughts literally change us at a cellular level.

Now if we could find some music with a "spend some damn money" messages and pump that into our audio feed for these men to hear hahaha

^^Haha, RIGHT FUCKIN ON!!! He's my man. I have that book on Audible. I've listened to a shit ton of his podcasts. Girl...I'm in the process of totally reprogramming my subconscious. And this shit...legit is working. I'm so fuckin nice to myself it's weird. I have a bad day and I'm like patting myself on the back and giving myself a pep talk.

Girl, I've been on LOA and reprogramming my subconscious for about 1.5 months. And I've watched almost all the documentaries on emotions, the subconscious, and self healing that are available on Prime Video and Netflix.

It's real! You can do this girl. You can change how you feel about yourself. It'll happen, then you'll be unstoppable.

Hahahaaaaa girl...so funny. I used to play the binaural beats with subliminal messages on LOA during my shifts and I'd get shows. The guys would be like this is hypnotizing. Yup, we need them to listen and learn LOL.

That is awesome and sooo inspiring. I'm on it. And I'm definitely going to pump some binaural beats into my room when I stream later and see what happens! Where do you find yours if you don't mind me asking? I use Youtube but I worry about people putting the opposite messages into them lol

I've never listened to his podcasts but I am gonna track those down as well. Ive watched a few of his seminars on Youtube though. I love the way he ties everything together. All the science behind it just fascinates me.

Woah! I had to look up Bruce Lipton, found a youtube vid where he explains his theory and it's mind-blowing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjj0xVM4x1I

Thanks for sharing about him and his book.

Edited to add - found a video where his research partner explains the method he recommends to reprogram the subconscious:

I don't know where to post this so here it is: Cock ratings. Are you being honest or feeding their egos? What do they want? I don't get them often but when I do, I'm being brutally honest. Just rated a guy 6, his WTF face was priceless. I'm still laughing but poor guy didn't see that coming. Maybe I should go on the feeding egos route?

Nope, you're right. I'm honest. If it's a 6 I'll say a 6. This guy asked me to rate his dick during C2C. He didn't say he was into SPH, but he had a relatively small dick and I said "I think the head of your cock is a 10, but the size is a 4" haha, and he was like "seriously"? Yup, and he still comes back LOL.

Had a guy take me private at least 5 times in a row because he refused to believe that my real rating was a 5. He changed the lighting in his room, the angle, the camera position, and asked "how about now" until I was blue in the fucking face. I almost turned his show requests down after the 3rd one because I was ready to give him a 2 just for being annoying about it. This doesn't really expand on my original answer, just sharing war stories lol.

THIS^^^^^^^ sums up guys to a tea.
They're so obsessed with their dicks, that they really can't think of anything else. ( Well, maybe sports, but only for a while.)
The last guy I dated, bragged about his 6" cock that was thick.
When he pulled it out, I had to keep from laughing​, because it was a tiny pencil dick. And he was a premature ejaculator too.
Ewww! Get that disgusting little thing away from me!

I was on SM last night for about five hours....I made 11 bucks lol. Just curious since I am new to SM, I know its going to be different than how Bonga was but is it normal for guys to log in and literally log out so quickly? I mean I had many guys say hi. But I would literally say hi back and then they would leave. Most log in and are out just as quickly. I did myself all up, made sure my lighting was on point and I sat there trying to look pretty. Is there something Im doing wrong? Should I be doing something else? I tend to let the guys speak to me first. Should I say hi to every guy that comes in? I'll be honest, I HATE small talk and hate the "Where you from bb" and pointless questions like that. But should I be indulging them a little more? In past experience it tends to lead to wasted time....Any advice would be appreciated! I'm am very open to constructive criticism so lay it on me! :)

You're fine. They don't remember their manners when it's slow. A lot of them are just window shopping or bored out of their minds, bouncing from room to room to see who is doing something half-way entertaining. It's not your lighting, hair, attitude, background, outfit, camera angle, makeup, facial expression, audio, or whatever else that our brains tells us that it might be.

This is probably the worst time of the year to work SM for the first time because it really comes off as if this is the norm. In and outs for hours on end. But it's not. It's just the climate for right now. I swear to you it gets better.

Yes, guys come in then go right out. It's not you at all. I don't say hi to everyone that comes in as I feel like I'm wasting energy. I wait for them to say hi first then I'll make small talk. I'm like you and dislike small talk a lot. Nita gave you good advice. You're fine and it's just a little slow right now.

So question about "performing". I had a guy last night who just wanted simple pussy play. We went private, I started doing my thing, and then he goes "Do you like to get loud?" And I responded that I do. He tipped me 3 GOLD so I thought ok he's into it and I continued on. Well then he left. Like literally 30 seconds after he tipped. I guess this is my question: Is it because I didn't just start moaning and being loud right on cue? Because I didnt. I was still being a little quiet as I was going to work up to all the theatrics because to me it would seem super forced if I just started right in with it. Its just not natural to me.....what do you guys do? Thanks for any input!

He may have just busted his nut and dipped. Perhaps he tipped that 3 gold because he was about to split. Maybe next time just tell him Oooo baby you just wait I'm gonna cum so loud for you or whatever. Then work up to it. 30 seconds is plenty of time for a guy to bust if he's been yanking it for awhile.

That makes sense. Guys leaving a private just as its getting started does happen a lot and I thought it could be that when he left too...Its so hard to know sometimes if you're doing things the way they want or not lol. Thanks for the info!

It could mean anything from he wanted it to be loud right away to someone came in the room and he panicked, to a bear ate him. There's not a way of knowing unless he leaves a review or comes back. I've had guys leave and then come back happy so sometimes they don't understand its polite to say thanks when they are done.

Also, in my experience guys seem to love their particular fetish so much that they don't even think (or care) how ridiculous or unrealistic it is. Maybe thats why they like camgirls so much, that its easier to tell a stranger to be over the top rather than a partner? Who knows. :p

Hey there,
Does anyone have any methods for preventing back pain while camming, especially sitting with a posture that is flattering? I have a difficult time sitting up straight on a bed for long periods of time. Anyone have any back pillows they recommend or something they've figured out to help?

I just try to stuff pillows behind me. Its horrible though. If my back isnt screaming, my head starts to pound and/or my feet fall asleep. Sometimes I'll move to the couch but it makes doing shows awkward but if my back is that screwed up, the couch with a pillow behind me is way better then sitting on the edge of the bed. I've seen some models sit in computer desk chairs until a show comes in and then move their cam to the bed.

I sit on my bed also and can get back pain too. I try to take a 10 min break every hour to rest my back, walk around, or stretch for a little. I often meditate for 20 min each shift which gives my back a huge rest as I meditate laying down. And when back pain is bad I take a hot epsom salt and coconut oil bath.

Can anyone explain what the logic is behind tiered rates please?

I’m sure I once recall seeing it mentioned it on here some time back and I’ve noticed a couple of girls on one of my sites doing it.

By tiered I meant raising them throughout the day, just to be clear!

If you can figure out which time of day is YOUR prime time then you can set your rate at a premium level. If there is a time of day where the traffic is there but they aren't spending then this is when you might want to drop your rate.

Or you can do the opposite and lower the rate when your busy, then increase it during a slower time of day.

This worked for me when I would work in three hour intervals.

For example: 11am-2pm est was wanker central. Mostly guys who may not have much money. I'd lower my rate to stay busy and then log off for a few hours. Then I'd come back when the ballers were home from work and raise my rate.

It's also a good idea to consider time zones in other countries. That's what I base my availability on. The after work crowd can also be bedtime strokers mixed with the morning wood crowd. You gotta find the sweet spot. Personally I would never advertise a rate change. Not sure if the people you mentioned are doing that?

Thank you so much!

The girls weren’t advertising it, I just happened to notice at the top of the listings I’d usually see the same people and underneath our pics, our group/private rates were listed and I’d notice that some girls would start at a lower rate and increase throughout the day.

If say a client quizzed you though on why your rates were changing, what would the best way to respond be? Would it be best to just simply say, ‘they change throughout the day’ or whatever the case?

Just giggle and play dumb. Act like you don't know what they're talking about. If you think you really need to explain (You don't), type it out privately. You don't want other viewers listening in on that conversation. If he doesn't accept your response..kick him out of your room. He's trying to haggle.

Thank you!!

Thinking about it though, in the 8 months I’ve been camming, I’ve played around with my rates loads and I’m sure I can only ever recall one person commenting on the fact my rate had changed once. So perhaps most likely they won’t even say anything anyway!

So another question, Im sure you guys will be able to shed some light on whether I am shooting myself in the foot or not. I leave my sound off in free chat. Mostly to save my energy and its a way to try and filter out time wasters. Or at least I think it filters them out...I get a a good handful that ask me for sound and I say "pvt only hun" and immediately they leave. This tells me they didn't plan to go pvt anyhow and just wanted me to give them free attention....am I right or am I screwing myself? Thinking back there have been a few that have asked and ended up taking me pvt but the vast majority that take me pvt NEVER even ask about sound. Just wondering if any others do this or what you guys' take is on it. Thanks!!

meh. the 'no sound' hustle works for some and doesn't work for others. i'm the "others".

flat out disappearing from view of the camera produces more money for me than explaining why my sound is off. I just try to look at it from a personal point of view: would I be intrigued or lose interest if I saw a cam guy who had zero sound and was just sitting there? how many barriers would I be willing to go through just to talk to someone that I've never met. and it probably makes them wonder if communication will be just as difficult in prvt/exl.

it's just that no sound forces me to type. and typing forces me to interact with these idiots way more than i care to. no sound makes me work harder. now i'm responding to every single "hi" and "what's up bb" because I don't want to look like a dead fish on cam. i'm sure someone in this forum banks with the sound off tho.

Hey there,
Does anyone have any methods for preventing back pain while camming, especially sitting with a posture that is flattering? I have a difficult time sitting up straight on a bed for long periods of time. Anyone have any back pillows they recommend or something they've figured out to help?


Standing up is the only thing that eases that pain.

I dealing with signs of MS, and standing up is the only way to easy that pain or take a break and stretch.

I pretty much have 2 to 3 hour window where I can work off the bed and not be in constant pain. sometimes 4 hours but no more.

You make valid points. I think I'm gonna go back to having it back on....I may be in the "others" crowd too lol. Thank you!

So another question, Im sure you guys will be able to shed some light on whether I am shooting myself in the foot or not. I leave my sound off in free chat. Mostly to save my energy and its a way to try and filter out time wasters. Or at least I think it filters them out...I get a a good handful that ask me for sound and I say "pvt only hun" and immediately they leave. This tells me they didn't plan to go pvt anyhow and just wanted me to give them free attention....am I right or am I screwing myself? Thinking back there have been a few that have asked and ended up taking me pvt but the vast majority that take me pvt NEVER even ask about sound. Just wondering if any others do this or what you guys' take is on it. Thanks!!
it probably depends on the person tbh, but for me, part of my "appeal" is my voice, I've a very soft northern british accent haha

When I started camming I didn’t do sound due to anxiety, I made some money but my income got so much better once I started offering sound

If you can figure out which time of day is YOUR prime time then you can set your rate at a premium level. If there is a time of day where the traffic is there but they aren't spending then this is when you might want to drop your rate.

Or you can do the opposite and lower the rate when your busy, then increase it during a slower time of day.

This worked for me when I would work in three hour intervals.

For example: 11am-2pm est was wanker central. Mostly guys who may not have much money. I'd lower my rate to stay busy and then log off for a few hours. Then I'd come back when the ballers were home from work and raise my rate.

It's also a good idea to consider time zones in other countries. That's what I base my availability on. The after work crowd can also be bedtime strokers mixed with the morning wood crowd. You gotta find the sweet spot. Personally I would never advertise a rate change. Not sure if the people you mentioned are doing that?

what are good rates to set if say I'm kinda new & not getting a ton of shows right away? I talk to everyone sadly LOL which usually leads to them getting a show but doesn't last very long. I seem to do better at night so I'm 4.99/5.99 right now on SM & Im getting shows just not long ones :(

Is there a way to confirm that a customer has used a block session prior to taking the show?

If you're using SMConnect it'll say in fine print. It hardly noticeable. But it's stated. I usually accept fast & don't notice. But yes it's there to inform you when you accept show.

Yes. You'll have a request for it and it's going to state the time. Looks almost like the exclusive request and sounds the same, but has the "15/30 minute block session" added. So before you accept it, have a look at the pop up. No need to rush. All those requests get automatically accepted if you don't press yes before the 10 seconds mark.

You ladies are always so helpful. Thank you Miss Sha Sha and euro princess. Many blessings for this weeks camming.

Hello darlings x I'm not new to the adult industry at all, and i've done livestreaming but I'm very much a new camgirl. I've invested hundreds into my equipment and setup, and while a whale made today really good I still feel like i can be doing better(its my second day). Does anyone know if making big money(600-1k+ a day) is impossible during the early morning shift? Don't get me wrong I DONT expect this overnight, I would be happy with 200 a day at this stage, maybe give it a few months but I'm only able to cam from 8.30am-7.30PM UK times(this is roughly 1.30amEST-2.30pm). My partner works during this time and I'm able to commit 30-38 hours a week on Streamate but can only do these shifts now. I get privates in the mornings and some when british guys get off work but not much in between. Am I doomed at these times? Thanks loves x
