do they know?
do your friends or family or both know you cam? if so, how do they feel about it. im more interested in the family knowing....dancing is one thing but people view camming as borderline...or actually...porn.
just wondering cuz i would love to be a top model on mfc and the word would def get out so should i tell my mom now?

Re: do they know?
Nobody knows except my roommate and 2 of my best friends. My family will never know as long as I can help it. Not because I'm ashamed just because I come from a very very very Christian family and don't feel like hearing a sermon everyday. So it's just best I keep it to myself. Although I think if my mom found out, she wouldn't be that upset. She wouldn't like it but I don't think she would try to talk me out of it. But she's kind of always let me do my own thing. She's never been that judgmental like the rest of my family.
As far as my friends, the only reason I don't tell them is because I genuinely feel like they would just watch me and talk shit behind my back, But if I had to choose between being a top model or no one finding out, I would definitely pick being a top model. If You think it's something your mom would be ok with, I would just tell her.

Re: do they know?
I think if your mom is the accepting type, then you should tell her.
My family has no idea I cam. And I'm living at home for the next month and a half! Like Avamonet, I'm not ashamed, I just have a very conservative family. They would feel bad for me, and try and "save" me. I've told a couple friends, but they all used to be dancers so it doesn't really faze them.

Re: do they know?
My husband and mom know
and I think some friends
Do I still have friends? I just sit at home all day.
oh yea, and my 16 year old nephew knows. That's awkward.

Re: do they know?
I've been camming for almost 5 months off and on so I've only told ONE friend. She expressed her concerns as a good friend would with no judgement. I have no intention of telling anyone else. I am being judged and shunned everyday for being a Transsexual woman, I don't need the added stress.

Re: do they know?
my boyfriend (obviously lol), and my mom know. and 2 extremely close friends who don't judge me know.
other then that, i don't think it's much of anyone's business. if they find out i'm not going to be too phased by it, but it's a job and i've always tended to keep my 'work social life' and my 'outside work social life' seperate. :)

Re: do they know?
My boyfriend knows (it was his idea in the first place). He likes to sit and watch; he loves when I have Private shows where the guys don't stick around long enough for ME to get off, because he knows that all that sexual frustration has to go somewhere... :-P
A lot of my friends know. Some of them expressed concern, but once I explained how it worked to them, they were okay with it, in a way. Sort of "I still don't really like it, but as long as you're safe." Some of them still ask me for links and pics. Silly boys. My more conservative friends do NOT know, because I don't want anyone to try and "save" me (as others have said here).
My family does NOT know. My boyfriend's sister is the only one who knows, and she used to be a stripper herself. Actually, I think she may be interested in getting into webcamming herself. :-P I plan on telling my own family eventually, but not until I'm making enough money to justify it to them. As it is, they're not going to care that it pays my bills. They're not even religious, but they'll accuse me of whoring myself out, and I'm sure that my stepdad's constant barrage of "Do whatever it takes!" (generally meant to encourage me to work shitty jobs) will get turned around on him, and he'll end up telling me that's not what he meant, and yadda yadda yadda. My mom would probably cry. And call herself a failure. My brother would be worried, and obviously wouldn't really like the idea of his sister being a stripper, but he's far more understanding than my parents. He'd accept me for it once he found out that I really am safe, and that this is really what I want to do.
It seems to be a very situational thing. Some families are open and understanding, while others... well... those from weird dysfunctional families like mine will know exactly what I'm talking about.

Re: do they know?
My boyfriend knows (he cams with me sometimes), as well as my mom and a few select friends. Most of my friends and family are a bit on the traditional/judgmental side and just wouldn't understand. I already don't talk much about my other job, so I just won't talk about this one either and hope I don't ever have to explain it :)
-
Re: do they know?
My parents, my brother and several of my friends know that I entertain gentlemen on an adult website. I don't go into detail about what exactly that means, and they don't ask (though I'm sure they can imagine). That said, I have a reasonably open-minded family and friends.

Re: do they know?
Only my husband knows. LOL it turns him on....a lot.

Re: do they know?
the only person that knows is my boyfriend. sometimes it annoys me when my friends want to hang out and i say, "im working." they go "cool, ill come see u at the club." (cuz i dance too) and i get stumped and dont know what to say.
-
Re: do they know?
My boyfriend and all of my close friends know. I don't talk to many people in family other than a couple cousins and my grandmother. One of my cousins knows, he seems pretty impartial, but I haven't told my grandparents just because I think it will cause unnecessary stress to them.

Re: do they know?
It is kinda of sad how some many of use do not tell other people what we do for a living because we don't want to deal with thier reactions or cause them unnecessary stress.... Its not because we are ashamed of what we do. It seem to me the people tend to think that you don't tell them what you do because you are ashamed or hiding something. I don't think that is normally the case. I think we don't tell and are not open with every one about we do as a "job" because most people don't understand...They have no clue what we do(so we have to explain everything) or they don't see it as a JOB.
If I could just tell people what I do...and it would be done I would tell every one......but every time I tell some what I do it turns in to 20 min conversation.
My parents know.....I told them out of anger and frustration and my close friend and my boyfriend....

Re: do they know?
both of my partners know. my older sister knows and a few of my cousins...the rest of my family (incl my parents) are either dead or mostly estranged so we're not close enough for it to be any of their business. if my parents were alive, i'd tell my mom...not sure about my dad (we weren't that close). most of my friends know...i only go out of my way to hide it from a couple of people because i'm really close to them and it would devastate them. but everyone else in my life, i don't really care if they know or not :)
