    Default Customer and Dancer Perspective: Your Level of Interest/Involvement in Cam Sites

    This poll is intended for both customers and dancers:

    What is your level of involvement in cam sites, in terms of time, and $$$ ? To be clear, I'm talking pay sites, not like free porn or those of the sort. I know some offer a certain ammount of sample views, but with the expectation of customer buying a membership, or paying by the minute ( $1 and up) for chat or other with camgirl.

    Myself, I'm between #1 and #2. In the last year, my visits to clubs have decreased due mainly to time/oppurtunity issues. I see the camsites more as a supplement, rather than a replacement for club visits. I'm glad they're available, but I'd never let one get in the way of a club visit. The ammount of money that I've spent on camsites last year was probably about what I'd spend on a typical good single club visit. ( I average 2 - 3 club visits/month). My curiosity is generated by the uptick in the number of cam related posts, wondering what sort of buzz I'm missing.
    I'm right 96% of the time. I don't sweat the other 5% .......................

    It seems to me that the posts are up because the site has been catering to girls who cam for a while now and their segment of the membership is growing.

    I go to cam sites on a fairly regular basis but my spending is still pretty low. I lump them in with porn and I don't see porn or web girls as a replacement for strip clubs. For me, escorts have caused my decline in attending clubs though, over the last couple of years I've leveled off on the escorting side and visit clubs more often than I did for a while.

    I didn't answer your poll because there is no choice for "I like and appreciate both."

    The uptick is really just google results and camming connection being the most active camming forum on the internet (that is populated by models)... most customer questions about camming almost 9/10 comes from them finding SW from a few google search terms

    nonexistent option... to be difficult, heh: Im a performer who cams - also plans to dance but will primarily continue to financially rely on the online sex industry.

    The regulars I see though have asked if I dance but dont seem to be regular SC patrons, they more seem to see escorts and Dommes than seek out club environments. Largely the sentiment Ive gotten from regular strip club patrons abt camming (who dont have fetishes or niche interests are) "uh idgi?". The overlap between customers seems to be stronger among those who patron other elements of the sex industry... particularly amateur porn and escorts. But I do share categories with some girls who heavily advertise where they dance and use camming as an advertising venue... so who knows?

    ifriends is one site whose recruiting campaigns have been HEAVILY targeting dancers (to this day about 75% of their ads are "girls, tired of being grabbed at the club?" "want something to do when youre not on stage?" etc etc) and some sites like Playboylive selectively hire performers based on appearance/dancer standards... but most sites realized that strip club patrons largely are just not the target market.

    which is why sites like TUSCL, SCL have affiliate ads for adult dating sites and not live cams. Ironically many of the adult dating site ads are just carbon copy of camgirl's profiles (my ass was on an xprofiles ad, a few of my e-friends appear on The Facebook of Sex and WildMatch and AFF) as way to attempt to lure them in, but otherwise meh

    It is a lucrative part of the adult industry but I think some who frequent clubs would argue there is a level of detachment they cant jive with via camming

    Agreed. It's interesting because a lot of folks who opine on the decline of strip club attendance are blaming it all on cam sites and porn. I've never felt that way. I honestly can't remember ever sitting at home trying to decide between going to a club or surfing for porn/cam girls.

    Rest assured Roast if you start dancing I'll be planning a road trip!

    The few times that I have ventured into the cam world was when I had already met the camgirl from her dancing days. Several dancers that I know also cam part time, so I have visited them occasionally as well.....but for me it could never replace clubbing.
    Unless I already have met the girl in person, I just can't get into the strictly visual world of camming. And even then if i know that the dancer is no longer dancing and strictly camming, I'll lose interest.

    What yoda and lopaw said.

    I have never patronized a cam site and likely never will. I just don't get what is fun about interacting with a girl over a camera online - no offense to the camgirls on here and I wish you all the highest earnings.

    i'm a performer who solely does cam and doesn't dance - i used to do prostitution but i wouldn't be able to get hired at most strip clubs because of my body type.

    i think that's one big issue that comes up with camming - strip clubs tend to be very vanilla and have specific body types/ages/ethnicities. with camming, anything goes. i wouldn't be able to get hired at most clubs (even though i have a lot of dance experience). camgirls can be any age, race, body type, have any kind of body mods, etc. - it's not a barrier to camming except for on sites like playboylive, as roast mentioned. to me it's a totally different environment than stripping because of that.

    I'm a dancer who has no intent to start camming; the idea of staying home and making money appeals to me, but camming feels way too invasive for me to handle. Oddly enough, I'd rather get naked and rub up on someone in a dark room than take off my clothes on the internet. It's just a matter of personal boundaries - I know many girls on here literally feel the exact opposite of how I do.

    Camming DOES interesting me - in fact, I find the whole camming phenomena fascinating (it's a job like no other), but I have no interesting in joining in. I'll just cheer from the sidelines.

    I enjoy going out to have a few drinks and be entertained. There certainly are a lot of gorgeous cam girls, but it's not something I'm really interested in, and it's way too easy to spend impulsively online when you're not thinking rationally.

    Oh no, of course not :p

    Not to critique the value of anyone's work, but if you go a little overboard at a club, you still went out and had a good time.

    Not for me. I honestly see no difference between jerking off to a cam girl and jerking off to free internet porn. Either way i am sitting at my computer by myself.

    I dance and am somewhat interested in doing couples camming I think. LIke 4ever I'm not sure i'm really up for what camming involves, but i find dancing easy to do as it's literally just showing your body. However I am happier with the idea of doing couples shows- more like having a paying voyeur than doing x and y for some random. But I hardly know anything about camming yet anyway. Interesting question though, i was wondering whether i could make cam customers out of guys from the club, has anyone done this?

    This thread made me curious about the whole cross-over thing too. I asked a bunch of my regs during a group show and not one of them goes to strip clubs with any regularity. The main comment I got was that clubs are 'impersonal' which appears to be the same opinion alot of you stip-club enthusiasts have about camming. I can totally see the allure of either, but each has an entirely different sort of vibe and is conducive to a different type of interaction, so it makes sense that anyone would have a preference for one at the expense of the other. My customer base is totally indy though, which tends to bring with it a few specific 'types' of customers...I'd be curious about the cross-over thing with chicas who work big box sites.

    I wasn't able to use the poll.

    I am a dancer who has no interest in becoming a cam model - but I do enjoy visiting cam sites occasionally. I very rarely visit strip clubs for fun. In that regard, I suppose I would also fall into the " I'm a customer who is more interested in visiting camsites than stripclubs." category.
