camming with others in the house
I haven't seen another thread that answers this, but I'm going to start camming in the next couple of weeks but I will still be living with my parents. I should say that I have talked with them about this and they have given their blessing, but I don't want to sound like I'm having crazy monkey sex all the time. Does anyone have any tips for camming while living with other people?
Re: camming with others in the house
At least you have permission. If you feel that you are being too loud, you can try muting your cam so that you can do shows without having to talk, moan, and have your vibe make noise lol. I found that camming to me is more talking and entertaining than moaning. That is, unless you're in a private and the guy asks you to scream or something haha. Soft moans are usually feasible for the guys.

Their BLESSING?!? OMFG, you're one in a million... ha ha! Congratulations! How the hell did you manage THAT piece of magic??!?! O.o
You can work the "I still live with my parents and have to be quiet and sneak around" angle... it usually sells well, especially if you're young and cute. If you're a bit older, or not comfortable revealing that you live with mom and dad, you can turn them into a fictional roommate. If you can give her a character, making her out to be a total prude who would have a seizure if she knew what you were up to behind closed doors, so much the better. :-)
Anyway... it's totally do-able.
Re: camming with others in the house
First off - GOOD FOR YOU! I am so pleased to hear that you spoke to your parents before you started - that takes a lot of guts. It also shows a LOT of respect for your parents, and will generally make your life so much easier in future - with receiving checks, and with taxes. It sucks that not everyone has the kind of relationship where they can be that honest - you are so lucky, and I just think that that is awesome. For the record - I did the same thing. Before I take any step into a new arena in the industry, I have a chat with my mum, and ask her opinion - it has brought us a lot closer, and it makes my life so much easier not having to lie about work.
Anyway - to the question!! LOL - Sorry - just had to give you a big pat on the back for talking to them...
There are a few threads on this with useful info - search "roomates" "neighbors" "overhear" etc.
In general, you can go a long way with a low voice and soft moans - there will be guys that want you to scream, but you can actually play the "OMG barely legal, parents are downstairs, I'm just such a dirty little nympho teen that I can't help it" card - play into the idea that you have to be somewhat quiet, and make it sound hot. (Assuming that you are fairly young-looking - otherwise the "roommate" card can work the same way, just tell them he is a gay roommate, or they will ask you to bring him/her into the room and fuck them. sigh)
Using insulation is a BIG one - draught excluder under the door - and if you can, hang a heavy blanket on the wall to help muffle sounds.
You can also use a headset - looks a little odd, but lets you whisper into it rather than talk to the cam a few feet away - and just tell them that you want to "whisper right into their ear....it so sexy/intimate/whatever". A lot of guys wear headphones, so it can give a great effect.
Re: camming with others in the house
ManyRoses, we wrote the same thing at the same time... ha ha! Except you said it better and more thoroughly as usual....sighhhh. :-)
Re: camming with others in the house
I just saw that. We really did just write the exact same thing. Get out of my head lady!! LOL
LOVES xxx
Re: camming with others in the house
Purchase insulating foam sheets from Home Depot. Get a logitech mic with the on/off button and talk low into it. Work late nights when they are asleep or when they're gone. They'll still be able to hear you though prob. If all my neighbors can hear me, then I'm sure people within the same house can hear too.
Re: camming with others in the house
^All of the above. I live with people right now. I just shut myself in the room, don't use audio, and work the "Omg, my roomates can't hear us be naughty, baby!" angle. It works.
Sometimes I use a logitech mic and talk real low in it, or offer phone in exclusive. Most of the time tho, I'm ok not even doing that.
Re: camming with others in the house
I have a roommate and I cam when she's at work or home. I never told her but I could feel she knows but I really don't care. In my personal experience, the more people know, the more they judge. Good for you for telling your parents.
Re: camming with others in the house
haha I was quite surprised too :) thankfully they understand and really have no issue with it, "you're 18, you can do what you want", use the response i got. the "we have to stay quite or my parents will hear" angle sounds really good.

Thanks you guys. you two always have great advice:D
Re: camming with others in the house
Oh! And don't admit to your fans that your parents know and are ok with it.... Instant fantasy killer. :-)
Best of luck!!
Re: camming with others in the house
Personally, I would be more inclined to work when they are awake than asleep - just my 2cents.
It DOES depend on where your camspace is in comparison to their bedroom, but most houses and apartments are set up with the bedrooms fairly close together, and then if you are working at night, there is NO other noise to help drown you out. Of course, if they sleep like the dead, not a problem, but I can't work while my bf sleeps (not because I would be worried about him hearing me - obviously he knows!) because it would wake him up. If your parents are light sleepers - NOT the best idea to cam while they are trying to sleep. Esp if you have music playing, and most girls cam with something on in the background.
I had a thought related to music - USE YOUR BACKGROUND NOISE! If I am working upstairs with music playing, and my bf is watching tv or playing games downstairs, the combination of noises completely masks anything I am doing - he can't hear a thing. :) You can use a white noise machine in a similar way - just creates a general hum of noise when you have music on in the room and a white noise machine just outside the door. Unless you start going for crazy screaming shows, you should be fine.
Re: camming with others in the house
*Sigh* I wish I could tell my parents what I do for a living then I could work from theirs when I go home for the Christmas holidays lol. You are very lucky to get their blessing, they must be very open minded people!
I would just tell your customers that you live with your parents so have to keep the noise down, play music, even use a headset so they can hear you without you having to talk/moan loudly. You could work whilst your parents are out the house too. I think it is a turn on for guys to know that you are camming with the possibility of getting caught! So you could use that to your advantage. I live with my ex (housemate) and often tell that to the guys in my room. It intrigues them! Even had one guy that liked to take me PVT and make me leave my door open in the hope my ex would walk in and catch me in action, ughh, heaven forbid!
Anyways, have fun and good luck! ;)
Re: camming with others in the house
I have to say, the phone is a good thing, I know when I am at home, and even my husband is home (who knows I cam but I still feel funny) I like to use the phone option, i can then whisper and they think it sounds so sexy haha Maybe for that reason, make exclusive cheaper then private :)
