Considering Switching from Camming to Stripping
Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to read this, I'll try to keep it short.
I've been camming for a few years now, only doing so consistently the last year or less. For different reasons I'm considering stripping(Well not really considering, I've pretty much made up my mind). While I understand that they are very different jobs with different required skill sets, I think stripping would be more my style, and so I would earn more.
So I have decided I will call and audition somewhere sometime in October/November(My birthday is December 2nd). Since I have some time before then I will be working on my strength and flexibility while getting a few outfits together. I live with my boyfriend in the Central New York area. I have heard clubs around here aren't that great, so I guess some questions I would love answered are:
Where should I audition(I'm willing to travel within driving distance, preferably no more than 1.5 hours, for a home club anyways)?
Are there any unexpected differences(or similarities) between camming and stripping(besides the obvious)?
Are there any stretches/workouts you like that are good for fast results?
If you have any other advice, I'm open to hearing it all, thanks!
Please consider the fact that I've never been a dancer, and won't know ANY pole tricks(but I'm a quick learner!). I can walk relatively well in tall stilettos, so long as I move slow(which seems to be the way to go from what I've read) but should I audition in heels that I'm a bit more confident in? I know my body type isn't ideal, but I've seen many girls my size and bigger in clubs, my hair and makeup are always exceptional and I have an amazing personality. I know my smile alone will get me far in a club setting. I will be living in the hustle hut forum and doing tons more research, even though I know everything will be different/in a new perspective once I start working.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a bit longer than anticipated!
Also sorry if I left something out, I'm a bit dis-associative right now! (I handle my mental illnesses really well and don't see them being much of an issue needing addressing.)
Re: Considering Switching from Camming to Stripping
Hi & welcome, I would look in the Club Chat section, for NYclubs, to get an idea, also check out the Clubs/Reviews section, some may b older reviews, & tuscl, again just to get an idea..
In Camm Connection, there's a thread Stripping vs Camming, or maybe it's the other way around..
I believe a lot of ur ?'s could be found here in Newb section too
For exercise look in Body Business and /or youtube
Good luck! :)
edit - I found the thread,it's camming vs dancing, by member name blueroo,she's not really onhere, but it's an interesting read. Ibump it for u, but it'll prob get buried fast cause lots of posting there
Re: Considering Switching from Camming to Stripping
I never cammed but I can tell you one area you want to work on stretching is your hips. Try doing some yoga maybe or look at how dancers and cheerleaders stretch. Also, try to build up your core strength.
Re: Considering Switching from Camming to Stripping
Fish oil/omega supplements will be your friend. You may or may not have achy joints the first few days.
Check out the sticky threads here also.

Not in nyc, but I cammed before stripping. For me, I feel like it's a lot easier to talk to guys and get them interested at the club. I like the fact that I get out of my apartment and can be social and maybe have a few drinks and some fun. I dont really go out otherwise. I love dancing and the atmosphere...basically i just love strip clubs and strippers and being naked and a creep in public. I DONT like having to shave/wax all the time, you cant hide flaws/farts/morning breath like you can on cam, I get a lot more mentally drained in the club, I personally make more money per hour on cam doing less. Oh, also you can smell the guys, cant block them or X out of convos, and you have to dodge wandering hands lips and tongues. :O
