Re: Camming and Escorting
Sounds to me like you are trying to create a brand so I say yes!!! If you are trying to get your escort name out there, then you should go for it.
Re: Camming and Escorting

Re: Camming and Escorting
I escorted twice actually. I went by my cam name, and always will in sex work. It's my business brand, so I try work it to my advantage.
Re: Camming and Escorting
It really depends on the image you want to protray. I do not cam under my escort name. I keep my cam persona seperate from escorting. as escorting clients do not seem to realize the jobs and lives are very different.
Re: Camming and Escorting
I can't remember - do you live where escorting is legal? Sounds like you are opening yourself up to a world of trouble if you were out there like that.
If you plan to be in films then it could net you a lot of money to use the same name in porn films and your cam name.
For escorting though, using that same name could be quite dangerous seems to me. Also seems like it could hurt your escorting business to be so open and out there too. Guys mostly want to keep it discreet, right?

Re: Camming and Escorting
I don't escort, which kinda frightens me. Some of my cam customers have asked me to escort though, so the two pursuits should work together..
Re: Camming and Escorting
I think it depends on why you are escorting. If you want to build a brand and do everything (films, cams, escorting, dancing etc) then it's a great idea to keep things consistent, and help cross-promote. I'll bet there are a LOT of guys who would love to be able to actually meet and sleep with the person that they are watching on film!
I don't escort, although I think I would if I were not in a relationship, and I would keep the two separate. I really want to build a brand with camming, but I would be concerned about mixing the two. Partially for personal safety (although that is always a concern with escorting, esp if you do incalls, I would be freaked out about someone coming on cam and telling the whole damn room where I live!!) but also because I do a lot of stuff on cam that I would NOT do in real life. For example, I do a fair bit of sub role play, but I would NEVER actually let a client do any kind of tying/striking/choking etc. I do a lot of gagging, throatfucking, anal, and DP on cam, and again, I wouldn't let a client do this in real life. The only reason I do it on cam is that I am completely in control, and there is no way that it is actually painful. I'd be really concerned that someone would watch my cam shows, and then want the same stuff in real life and be angry if I wasn't willing to do that. But if you do nothing on cam that you wouldn't do escorting, then that wouldn't be a problem.
Re: Camming and Escorting
Sounds like an OK solution; my cam life is so different then my real life. I feel escorting would just put too much of me out there.

I agree with Minnie, it depends on the image. I cam and escort, and I use separate names and separate personas. I do that because I market myself as ultra high-end in the escorting world, and I honestly don't think any of my webcam customers are people I would want to see in real life as clients. I mean, I wouldn't want any potential escorting clients to google my name and see a bunch of cam shit show up as well. That's my personal preference.
I think it would help with burnout a tiny bit, too...just because you get to switch between two different personas. "_____" the escort and "_____" the sexy camgirl.
BUT the OP mentioned doing porn...in that case it definitely sounds like you're trying to build a brand. I've considered it as well, and if I did choose to do porn, I would definitely keep everything under the same alias. No confusion, more business, etc.

Not sure who this message was for. but when it comes to escorting the discreetion is about the clients not having information shared. There are many escorts out there who are very open and have determine the risk about it to choose to be open. there is a growing number of escorts out there showing their face in photos.

Sorry, I should have quoted the post I was replying to. I was replying to the original poster, thinking she might live here in the US in a place where it could get her arrested. I think it should definitely be legal here but unfortunately it isn't except in parts of Nevada.
Re: Camming and Escorting
I agree with Fridays.
Or/and my advice is see how you go with under another name and if you become popular with your films and what not bring it all together to make some serious $$$ to make a name for yourself.
Re: Camming and Escorting
I keep my cam and escort name as one in the same. If I didn't I think I would just have way too many aliases to keep track of at that point! And if one of my escort custies wants to go home and google me, then come watch me on cam too..well hey, more $$ for me!
Re: Camming and Escorting
Even though I have both names seperate the guys know its me and they talk about it on the review boards. it can be annoying sometimes, because some of them expect or assume certain activities will happen that they have seen in one of my old videos.
Re: Camming and Escorting
escorting is legal in many states- prostitution is only legal in a couple of places -reno nevada for sure - and i think maybe san francisco ? i cant remember maybe they just made it legal to go topless or somthing out of the ordinary in san francisco - all escorts do not prostitute

Doh, you are right! Man i must have been sleep deprived when I posted that. A lot of escorts do provide sexual services though and I was wondering if it might make them a target for law enforcement to have themselves out there like that?
Re: Camming and Escorting
Law enforcement is always an issue - the city i live in has licensed escorts for many years and we were heavily monitored and had to have a clean criminal history - then about 7 years ago we got a new police chief and he really doesnt bother escorts agencies but targets backpage and massage parlors - and they really are lax with them too - not sure why but that is how it has been - it has really watered down the industry here - we used to charge top dollar - now it is harder since the area is saturated with girls who low ball themselves -even the strip clubs are struggling - one of the reasons i started camming - to answer the original question - I keep them seperate because i dont want to get kicked off of the site that i cam with - i have escorted for so long that i have serious burn out - the business is not what it used to be - the clients attitudes have changed - and i'm sure mine has too - so i dont want to lose the lucrative opportunity of camming on the larger sites by seeing their customers on the side - my adult entertainment career is on the backside since i'm close to 50 - If i were just starting out I can see the HUGE benefits of branding myself and making all i could while i could - I see many independent escorts market themselves as porn stars to add to the allure of an appointment with them as well as on the cam sites - some agencies cater to high profile escorts - they take a piece of your money but they sort through alot of the day to day bs - if your doing porn your already going to be out there - if you havent escorted much I would get with a reputable agency to learn the business as it can be really dangerous -
