It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
In honor of the usual holiday threads:
Coronavirus is rampant and schools and businesses are closing. Pornhub has shown that any time the guys are stuck at home, they are checking out porn.

So since I’m stuck in the house anyway, I just ordered some bulk things I needed and got ready to grind until the smoke clears. If anything, it's interesting stats for the next event that keeps people home.
My clips are scheduled for the month and the house is full of food. Let's do this!

I wanted to start a thread on this today!
Yeah, things are really up in the air at the moment. I'm working loads, in case I need to support my parents. I've found it..weird. Lots of new guys, but a lot more girls online, too! So it's been a bit of a mixed bag. Not logging off though as I am getting bites! x

My whole damn family is stuck at home too! A bunch of universities are doing mandatory classes online now instead of having people come in, it's going to be impossible to cam unless everyone in the house fucks off during the day! :D

I hope the SW cam girls clean up !
Hopefully the affect of also having wife or kids at home won't mess with things.

Re: It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
It's strange to me that there is a pandemic. Last night one of my regulars was telling me about how it is affecting him and his area.
I am a hard core hermit most of the time. Here in MO there is only one confirmed case that I have heard.
So it's business as usual.

Re: It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
I am in Spain so I expect we will be in quarantine next week or the week after. Had to cancel my hair appointment and wax today cause I cant go out so Im at home trying to make that $$. Its so hard though. Italy just reported another 3000 almost and our family is there and trapped. Its hard to be sexy when you're trying not to think about who yo umight lose...............

Re: It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
I was considering this if things get out of control in California. No clue how camming works. Do you have to have the volume on in case someone is home? According to this site Cali is at 179 now :(. Not good.

this is me right now :/ too anxious to cam. i'm not personally worried about me getting sick/dying because i'm relatively young/healthy, but my parents are both in their mid sixties and have high risk lung conditions, and live in an area with a fair amount of reported cases already :(
it's been hard to log on and attempt to just do the sexy stuff as if nothing's wrong. my regs like to talk current events and personal life, and i just can't right now.
still, i'm grateful that even though it is a shitty situation, we get to work from home and this ultimately shouldn't affect us or our industry *that* much. we're lucky compared to a lot of other people right now. even in dire scenarios, people are still going to spend their money on their vices like porn and alcohol. plus, when customers end up quarantined, they are going to need some virtual companionship. :)

Re: It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
No you dont have to have sound on for them but Its better if you talk instead of type. A lot of guys will want to hear you in a show. You will have better earnings if you have sound but you dont have to hear them. (Not sure if you ment volume for you, them or both so I went with all). Spain just reported another 800 infected as I wrote this.

Re: It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
just saw Vice post this article:
Sex Workers Bracing for Income Loss During Coronavirus Pandemic
I hadn't really considered the likelihood of other adult industry workers switching over to camming during this pandemic/quarantine, but it makes sense.
Prepare for an influx of new camgirls...

My dad is 78 and my mom is in hospital because she got bacterial meningitis. This whole thing has been so fucking difficult and now I have to worry about them plus my husbands parents live in Italy and they are 77 and 79. I keep pushing through for now. I keep pushing it out of my mind and forcing a smile on my face because I need to keep working. I want to start a family. I have had to put off trying until May because of all this but I am determined to survive this shit. We gotta be strong girl. It sucks so bad but you have to try and be the strongest person you know.

You are already so strong. You will definitely make it through. All we can do is take one minute at a time.

Re: It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
^^ Im laughing now at this. My husband and I just went to the super market and everything is gone. There is nothing. We went to another and its the same story. We stopped at the gas station and its cleaned out too. We kept saying we should stock up but we waited one day too late and there is no food left. Im currently trying to calm myself down.

I might add this quote to my signature. For me my numbers are way up from March 2019 and I'm getting lots of new interest too. The problem I'm facing is staying put with the weather being so pretty right now. But I will stay cooped up because..money and it's out there.

Aww, thanks!
The weather is nice here too which makes me so sad! I did my final 3 mile walk yesterday. I'm trying to clear out these sinuses being weird in half of my face and then I'm staying on. :)

Re: It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
Starting about last week there has been a very noticeable up-tick in cammodel average hourly earnings as well as total earnings, at least on Streamate where they have the best stats for us to dig through.
I think this may be the absolute safest industry to be in at the moment, financially and from a health perspective.

Re: It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
I’m switching to camming from stripping. I’ve wanted to this for awhile a kept pushing it back (fear of change). It’s hard to give up that fast cash. I feel blessed I have my bills paid now and enough savings for two months. Canceling most non essential appointments. Classes are going online until the end of the semester. I think we’ll make bank. People are stuck at home and lonely. Whoop-whoop it’s gonna be like pre recession. Sad about the circumstances, but feeling bad doesn’t change the reality. Better to make the best of it a bad situation.
I’m trying to think of cute themes. I already ordered a sexy nurses outfit, getting Corona beers and having a corona virus party on Chauterbate.

Same :) Grateful the ancestors told me to stay online... I had tried doing IRL work for the past year on & off, but it never panned out. You never know the reason just surrender, trust & let it flow, wow.

Funny I'm seeing tweets today from fellow cam models. I think we're all just now noticing there's a health crisis, about a month later than everybody else!! Lol

Re: It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
Welp nevermind for that backyard work station. I am now operating out of a walk-in closet because I have extended family staying with me this week. Boy does life come at you fast and hard sometimes. �� I've actually worked from a closet before but under different circumstances. Am I the only one who feels more driven and inspired to get things done when the rest of the world is going crazy?

Re: It's a pandemic, who's camming? :D
I will be, my partners hours at work are very likely to get cut as they're making next to no money due to people not going out - so Ill probably up my hours to try and cover more of the bills
