Camming With Roommates.... HELP
I hope I'm not re-asking but I couldn't find a thread about this!
So I have roommates. Mhhmmm. Not a great equation for a money making camgirl I know -- but I am trying to get ouuutttttt of here asap. And my walls are PAPER thin so anything I do is heard lol
There obviously isn't too much I can do when they are here which is pretty much all dayyyyy -- except say fuck it and completely alienate my roommates and have them hear me cum lol which I am starting to consider..... actually though -- should I just cam with no sound until I get my own place or is that just too unheard of haha because I know that is a number one rule is have your mic on but should I just cam on mute for now??? Is there some magical way to be on cam while still sounding like your just in your room?? Has someone master this?
So I am wondering or really just wanting to hear about any other camgirls who have to work around having roommates and to hear some stories/struggles so I can figure out how to do this. I am beyond the point of desperate and am considering getting a hotel room but even then I don't think I have enough for that:-\
Anyways -- pretty much any advice or perspective would be so much appreciated because I'm running out of time and sanity lol
Much love!

Re: Camming With Roommates.... HELP
I've made plenty when having to be quiet. I don't suggest muting the sound. I think it helps that they can hear at least some sound. Just leave it on but whisper and let the guys know you are "camming secretly" (and if you are young say you're in your parent's house maybe - guys tend to love that. My logitech cam mic I had at that time actually picked up whispers fairly well.
Also play some background music to drown out even your whispers.
Re: Camming With Roommates.... HELP
Ugh I know this all too well. Unfortunately if they are home all the time there isnt a whole lot you can do besides not have audio and that will massively affect your ability to make money. I got lucky and have a room mate who I am super comfortable with and she cams too sometimes so it works. I still dont like her to hear me doing stuff because I do the "vanilla" stuff and she doesnt, but she knows when I am camming that its better for her to be in the living room where she cant really hear me anyway
Re: Camming With Roommates.... HELP
I think you can get away with it for the time being. Especially since you probably need to save up money for a move. Do your roommates know you cam? When im camming and my roommates are home. I tell my custies "Sorry i have to be quiet, my roommates are home". A lot of them get all excited because its like I'm being bad. Just don't moan super loud and i think you will be fine lol. Also, play some music. Stick a towel under the door. Don't be so self-conscious. Make that money.

Oooo okay that a good spin ;) I'm gonna use that -- it's good to know it works for other girls!! Thank you <3 <3 <3
Re: Camming With Roommates.... HELP
Make that money -- needed to hear that. Gotta get my hussle on even if it's quietly lol
Re: Camming With Roommates.... HELP
Work it.lol. You will get used to it!:)
Re: Camming With Roommates.... HELP
You might also want to focus on clips more then camming. Build yourself some residual income and a following.
Re: Camming With Roommates.... HELP
Would help if I had a door..no privacy and my roomy decided to take another week off. :irked:
Re: Camming With Roommates.... HELP
I';ve worked many times in these conditions..
having to be " mute"..buy a ply wood board for a door maybe? and come up with an excuse for the work u do, say u do something else that needs privacy... studying?
Also buying a silent keyboard might help.
One of those rubber, soft plastic made ones..
Ive been wanting one for a long time.. the noise of typing annoys me:)
As far as customers.. dont worry about them.. most won;t mind, most undestand..
Most are sneaking around people too to come online haha
Re: Camming With Roommates.... HELP
I used to have roommates and cam with no problems because I do it without sound. Have you consider doing it without sound? I make way more when I don't use sound so it can be done.
Re: Camming With Roommates.... HELP
I lived with a roommate/landlord who didn't know I did cam for most of 2015.
She never left the house. I found that using a tower fan facing the door, (on high), cut the sound I was making. That and a radio next to the door also. I always had on talk radio.
I also did cam from the furthest place across the room from the front door.
The problem I had was that she would randomly knock loudly at my door and call out my real name. Yikes!
I tried the "I have roommates that don't know I cam so I have to be quiet" angle. It worked with regulars, but sadly not with new guys- they would close out the session by saying they would come back when said roommates weren't hone.
I do mostly fetish and dirty talk, so my income suffered.
I also do phone sex (Dominitrix character), which I had to do from the walk in closet. Ughh!
Now that I moved I definitely make way more money like I did when I lived on my own even. Because the guy I'm now renting from knows that I cam and do phone sex, so I feel free. I use to worry that my neighbors would hear me when I use to live In an apt. With thin walls.
It can be done. I think there are a few threads on here about living with roommates when you cam.
