I've been begging my offline SW.friends to expand their work online for years so I dont feel bad at all. Even during the Fosta/Sesta issue they asked for all the top camnsites but never sign up. But when something else hits they're asking the same questions for the 10th time. Oh well.

It's funny you mention this because I've been getting lots of wyd text from people I haven't spoken to in a long time. These are people that I spent hours showing how to set up a webcam, fill out paperwork etc and then they gave up without really trying. And that's cool. This job is not for everyone and it's good that they realized it before they went live. But what burns me up is how some of them tried to sneak diss me because of what I do for a living once they went back to their struggle. And now seeing these text I'm half tempted to respond with money gifs. But that's not nice, I won't do that. ;)

Oh girl misery loves company. I found that to be true with a lot of people once they found out you sell pussy for a living. They will throw shade, and sneak diss, sometimes on a subconscious level to undermine you but their opinion will never and can never cut you a check!

17 years March 18 !

Now when people ask I just tell them it's not worth it. but I will webcam til the wheels fall off and all I am thinking about now is making sure I am saving upto 50% of my income for retirement investing. funny hearing Dave Ramsey in my ear for 3 years got me to really appreciate what I have.

Last couple of yeas where rough for me because I had a mild midlife crisis about my career and life goals, now with things going on it's clear stay home, make money online and ignore everyone expect the boyfriend cause he gets it and does the work too.

This is all getting a bit scary. I am so nervous about my parents I have lost my appetite - so those last few pounds are coming off - heh. Brightside, I suppose. My dad is older but fit, but I am still worrying. I normally handle my anxiety well, but this has really sent it into overdrive.

My friend is meant to be getting married in two weeks. I cannot work out why they didn't but they have not insured the wedding. Obviously I can't understand why, when they spent a silly amount but they do not need that - I just feel bad for them - so, so bad. I'm a bridesmaid too and they have loads of eldery relatives. What a mess.

Just want to say take care everyone, and stay safe!

I’m just remembering how lucky we are that we can work this job regardless, keeping myself in good spirits is essential to me making money. I’ve bought a few extra food bits but I’m not hugely worried, even in locked down countries people are able to go and buy food & here in the uk supermarkets are getting extra deliveries & limiting purchase of certain projects. There’s lots of community aid groups being set all over here.

it’s scary and hard, but I’m mainly keeping in good spirits because it could be much worse

might be worth checking out the managing stress thread to :)

Thank you for this thread, I wanted to bring this up last week but didn't want to be labeled an alarmist so I've been quietly waiting for someone with a little higher post number to bring it up. I've been giving this a lot of thought ever since there was first word of the possibility of it jumping countries. That said, here's my thoughts as someone who comes from a combination of a medical, business and camming background:

First and foremost, for me anyway, mental health will be my biggest focus. I believe there will be an uptick in underage guests and trolls because schools are being closed which means I will be doing a lot of silent banning BUT I'm coming to my peers for opinions on that. There's a couple of different ways to deal with it and I think a simple invite to private chat will help weed out the underage/trolls and potentially great regulars. It's a shame this is something we have to take into consideration and I envy the women who have the ability to allow things like deep cutting words to roll off their backs. I'm getting better at it but it still takes it's toll on my psychology so this is why I'm placing emphasis on my mental health. The foods I choose to eat play a big roll in that. I'm a high functioning ASD and have big reactions both in my brain and in my gut to little ingredients like soy, MSG and other chemicals and preservatives. This week for the first time in my life I did my grocery shopping online. Even after this situation passes I plan to continue because I found myself slowing down enough to actually read the labels instead of just grabbing what looks healthy and rushing to get the fuck out of there so I can resume my normal reclusive lifestyle. I hope everyone here shops healthy and tries to eat as many whole foods as possible not just for your psychological well being but physically as well. We're going to need stamina and fortitude here!


I've been thinking about sustainability as well. I think we'll initially see an uptick in incomes but depending on how long our world is affected, it could turn quickly to a feast or famine scenario for us so I'm suggesting that everyone hold on to ever single dime they earn. Not only will you be prepared for a dry spell, but if there isn't a dry spell, we'll be in a much better position financially. I can only speak for myself on this point but I just got laid off as a result of Covid-19 which makes rent a big concern. If I'm lucky, at the end of this I'll come out with at least a tiny house. I've been living "tiny" for several years and love it but look forward to a day where I'm free from monthly payments on a non-investment. I think if enough people are laid off or don't have access to a paycheck we have the possibility of going down along with them.

As for our risk of coming into contact with someone who has the virus, those of us who do live as a reclusive, we pretty much have front row seats to something that the vulnerable won't survive. I've spent time envisioning different scenarios, role playing in my mind fantasy outcomes i.e. the bad guys get wiped from the face of the earth while the beautiful in heart come out shining. I'd like to think our community is the beautiful in heart because many of us suffer in some silent aspect at the hands or actions of another person, corporation or banking system. I know, it's apocalyptic type thinking but I can't help it!

Peace

My brother got sick and had to be tested. Luckily he's in Germany so its much easier than here. Also awesome, the tests came back negative. It did really stress me out though.

Everything is starting to close up here (and everywhere) finally so I'm going to pick up my prescription for the next 3 months, get some rest and get to it. (Like I had planned to earlier heh)

I must admit I wasn't particularly concerned until very recently but I am wondering now how business will be effected over the next few weeks or months as this continues to escalate.

I'm not overly concerned about the potential influx of new models that might arise from this, but if more and more countries go into lockdown, people get poorly and self isolate or people's workplaces are temporarily shut etc etc, then how much money are people going to have to spend? Earnings may go up for a while but how long for?

Obviously all we can do is just power on, go about our business as normal and go with the flow! I am mentally preparing myself though for it to potentially slow down though. I'm lucky to be in a slightly better financial position now than I have been over the past 4-6 months so I'll be making a point of getting ahead on my bills where possible so if things do go a little quiet then I'm not under too much pressure.

I've always felt very lucky and grateful to be in this job, but certainly even more so now given the current situation.

I wonder this too. Lots of guys are at home, but in a time like this you'd think most people would be clinging tightly to whatever money they have left, not throwing money at cam girls.

theres gonna be a lot of factors tbh, folk at home, but what if they're not getting paid, but then some countries they are still paying folk or suspending rent & mortgage payments, but then their wives and kids are at home to, and an influx of new girls, etc etc

Im not expecting much extra tbh, just gonna keep on with my normal goals

Here in my country they just declared "Emergency situation", son is working from distance/home but luckily he works and sleeps some nights at his gf's apartment; i must admit i am concerned in general also cause traffic/ business is terribly slow for me, guess my clientele is part of the guys who dont have privacy to cam right now due to whatever reason?!
Anyway, the only thing i can do is get on cam and do my best as always. Happy camming everyone! xx

I regularly see a homeless guy when I do my food shopping so I always stop and chat with him & his lovely dog and give them a few things to eat. Today I gave him some toilet rolls too. They are like gold dust in the UK too. The whole situation is getting so frightening and we should be supporting each other as much as we can whilst keeping ourselves safe and healthy.

In other news I nearly battered a woman in Aldi today that stood too close to me and dared to cough. NO. Just No.

Sorry am I off topic? I think this is making me a bit crazy!

Cardiff st paddies as well and cheltenham festival went ahead! Uk is in the mindset of we need to build herd immunity. However most lf the scientists are now saying we're better following other countries and locking everything down, trying to hold off the virus as long as poss as they 'hopefully ' will have a vaccination within a year. To be honest over here we have only just seen the beginnings of it as shops are starting to run out of loo roll etc. I think schools for sure should have been closed before now, but then how do parents continue working?? It's a crazy situation!

Stay safe everyone.


I am absolutely calling toilet paper loo rolls from now on, that is fantastic. :D

Americans call it toilet paper. Its so funny, I took an academic survey from prolific the other day they were having me match the word to the picture as fast as I could. But since the site is British they used words like pram (stroller) and bin lorry (garbage truck). I was so confused!

I've been getting customers who were missing for awhile show up asking how I'm doing. And that's great because I was able to either finesse that into a sale or get an email address to add to my list. I just got another dm from someone checking in. I know some people don't like when guys do that but I'm looking at it as an opportunity to push them towards the register. Whether that's today, tomorrow or next week.

Also I spoke to someone recently and they made an observation about covid and sexworkers. I took a look around and noticed this as well. Many of us are starting to panic outwardly and it may be turning some of your viewers/followers off. People are talking about it everywhere you go, but not everyone wants to hear about it or made to think about it around the clock. I'm gonna be mindful of this and keep the covid talk to a minimum. If they want to talk about it extensively in a paid session then that's fine. I don't want to kill boners. Boners make me money.

I think most of them are sick of hearing about it tbh and coming on cam sites is hopefully an escape from the matter at least! I was in the spa at the gym yesterday, I went for some quiet time and to switch off for a while and shortly after I sat down in the sauna there was a loud conversation in there began about it. I got up and left.

There's not been any mention on cam for me either yet and I do hope it stays that way.

I gotta say, camming has been a respite this week from all the craziness and anxiety happening in the world. I've had a couple guys mention it but it was in a joke-y way and I never bring it up, customers seem to be in a generally OK mindset currently and money has been consistent. I'm just feeling super grateful that I have a job that is (as of right now) unaffected negatively by what is happening, where I can just hang out in my apartment, ignore the news coverage and focus on being productive. Also I feel like the inherently isolating and sorta reclusive lifestyle that you have to partake in at some level to be a full time camgirl has most of us more equipped to handle "social distancing" than anyone else LOL.

how i got my start in sex work nearly five years ago was through camming and online content creating. it wasn't good money for me because i did not show my face, i marketed so much free open content, and i didn't have a large following. ever since i got into stripping and other forms of irl sex work, i given up on the online world. times like this now, i think it is best to get back into it. i just signed up for streammate again, so i will give it a go.

It's weird how most of you aren't getting any conversations in your room regarding Corona. Pretty much every guy who has came in my room & stayed to talk has though it's often more indirect"are you staying safe & healthy?" etc. I've even gotten Skype guys who I haven't talked to in months pop up to ask how I was doing.

Strong doesnt get me much with men unless they want to be dominated. I want to be soft and feminine and needy so they give me more. It worked last night but I see things clearer. Sometimes I forget that I'm in an industry of pleasing men. And that my feelings and emotions should be shadowed as they're paying for a fantasy and caring isnt something that comes with it mostly.

I think it's more of other men who love asking me for sexual shit (non clients) but dont check up on anything else. Men are selfish of course. Once I voiced that no one checked in on me or sent me money outside of my dad (not that I needed or struggled at all), I mentioned IGNORING them when summer comes and I'm looking fly, they all came out the woodwork. ��

One guy said he been depressed and was looking forward to feeling good and was tired of being cooped up all week. Was happy to help relieve him of his load and money.

I've been hustling my texting apps like mad this last week & a half or so with nice results. I'm unable to actually cam right now bc of where I'm emergency quarantining so I'm making the best of it, with what few sites I'm on. I've noticed that my clients don't like to talk about it which suits me just fine. Seems a bit easier to sell my nudes for much higher than I normally do. Guys are desperate AF to cum right now it seems LOL

Reading a lot of posts about making sure you are doing more tease and stuff.... I usually just try to be as active an engaging as possible and read my room, but i think i want to work on really building my regulars, and I agree with some other ladies on here, its kinda hard to cam with all the worries going on right now, but still seemed like a lot of people on and a lot of people just looking :-/ Still doing okay though.
