Want to start camming/afraid of family finding out
First of all hello, I'm new :)
As stated in the subject I would like to start camming but am nervous at the fact that I will have to give cam sites my personal info, legal name etc
So my question is, is YOUR legal name at all affiliated with your cam page? Like, if someone googled your real name would your cam site come up??? Just needing a little reassurance before taking the plunge....
Re: Want to start camming/afraid of family finding out
no your info is protected and only used for tax purposes if someone searches ur name its not going to show your cam site. I say go for it, but i speak for myself because i dont do anything im ashamed of so i have no problem telling people i cam, but good luck!!!
Re: Want to start camming/afraid of family finding out
your name isn't associated but you should always assume there is a possibility you will get caught. In the back of your head you should be prepared. You can geo block. But there's still a chance. If that's not a chance you wanna take camming isn't for you. Honestly if someone you know catches you just ask why were they looking at cam sex stuff if its so wrong. It's a way to be independent everyone has skeletons in the closet (not that camming is a bad thing) and no one is perfect so they have no room to judge. Everyone masturbates. So what if they find out.
Re: Want to start camming/afraid of family finding out
You are more likely to get caught then not get caught. You might not get caught by your family, but it's pretty likely someone that you know will recognize you. If this is a big concern for you look on the thread here that KourtneyKay wrote about how to disguise yourself on cam. Or you could just make clips on clips4sale and not show your face. If it really concerns you that much then DON'T do it. There is a reason cam girls have good income potential. It's hazard pay. Same with anything in sex work.

^^^ Yup..
I thought no chance in hell anyone would find me out. But they did. All over FB, sum so called Best Friend told the world that I was some hard core porn star now....which is totally untrue because all I do is cam solo.
I was not geo blocked at the time, but now I am..and because of that I had to change my cam name because they can still find you after geoblock (if they know the screen name)(which they most likely would remember).
I am OK with it now, I have a few places geoblocked..but for instance on streamate I still do T.V broadcasts which no matter what you have geoblocked people can see. But I just dont care anymore about it, im more comfortable with what I do. :) Which makes it more enjoyable !

Most people won't bother with the difference. I tried explaining to a friend that not all camming involves jackhammering dildos, but they would not believe me. "zomg porn is porn!"
I would go into camming with the expectation that you will be found out eventually. Prepare the best you can, don't let it bother you, and have fun on cam :)
Re: Want to start camming/afraid of family finding out
I have now been camming on and off about 10 years now . I know I feel extremely old.
The odds of family or friends finding out are pretty slim in the long wrong I have found, when my family did find out it was because my sister's friend was on a porn website and found it I didn't flinch about it because I was getting checks for a few months by then and my dad was doing my taxes at the time. when I had about $3k in my bank account for literally sitting at home on my computer for a full days of work 8 plus hours I really didn't give a fuck at that time who found out.
Even now even though I do not cam on a daily basis like I use to its a pretty damn nice feeling going to your mail box and see a check in there for being your own person and taking control of your financial life.

Hi Sensi!
I think that you shouldn't assume that camming can be completely anonymous. It's more a matter of "when" you get caught rather than "if" you get caught. Unless you decide to go completely incognito by not showing your face on cam, not talking and completely disguising your camming room to make it not look like your place, then there's aaaaaalways that chance of someone finding out.
Personally, I was scared at first. Then I made money, and now I don't care LOL. No one has "found out" about me yet, but I have told people that I trust. For some reason, a lot of people weren't surprised that I'm camming... I guess that says a lot about the kind of person that I am haha. The only thing that I don't do is show my face while I do privates, that's just something that I prefer.
On the other hand, sites do not share your full names, that's confidential information. No girl would work for them if it was possible for people to find out our real names through the company. Can you imagine how many stalkers we would get? When my real name is googled up, nothing comes up. Only when I google my cam name, then it shows.
So my best advice is to evaluate your own situation a little further:
- What other job do you have or aspire to do? I want to go into film making, so they're a little more lenient towards this sort of thing. If you want to teach children at some point, that may be a problem later, should they find out.
- Imagine that someone did find out, what would you do then? Do you think that you will have the strength to survive people's judgements? Because yes, this is still "taboo", and not everyone is ok with it (although you would be surprised by the amount of people who also think it's pretty cool).
- Is this something that you could be ashamed of later? If yes, then it's best that you find something else to do. I'm not ashamed of camming at all. I personally think that I found a smart way to make extra money while trying to build my career in film making.
Some solutions for you would be to geoblock certain places where you don't want people to find out. But remember, if you do privates, at some point someone is bound to record you and at some other point, one of those recordings will end up on a tube site, which is not geoblocked. Thus why I keep my face out during privates.
I hope that this has helped you!!
Good luck!
Re: Want to start camming/afraid of family finding out
My family found out and I was not the one to tell them. If you have any boys in your family that are teens or 20s, they will probably find you. Anyway, so they suspected something because they were wondering how I supported myself (despite having gone to college, etc.) when everyone else in the world seems to be struggling. First they were like "Are you a stripper?" and I was like "No, why do you think that?" and then they were like "Come clean, we know, you don't have to lie." So basically I told them I cam and then they told me they already knew and didn't know what to call that. One of them found me and then told the others. No one really cared, despite them being what most would call conservatively religious.
I'm pretty sure they were lol-ing about my freak out because they literally asked me out of no where and I didn't know what to say lol. In the end, I'm glad I didn't deny it, because the more you deny it when they know its you already, the crazier they think you are.

The Cam Girl Diary thread also have plenty of "I was outted" posts. It is all too easy to be discovered. Geoblocking only takes you so far and is very easy to get around, and even the best disguises can be seen through.
