    Smiley Do you think you were meant to be a Camgirl?

    This is for all the fatalists out there.

    I don't know, this thought entered my head very recently. I've been having shitty luck, making very little lately. Today was the worst, because it seemed like I was having all these emotional problems that have nothing to do with camming, making "doing the duty" of camming impossible.

    And then I took a few deep breaths, drank some wine, calmed down...and went online. Within minutes I had back-to-back block sessions with a client who just wanted to see me joke around, show my body, and be spontaneous. And I did. And it was literally the highlight of my day! And I finally made some decent moola Afterwards I got that feeling that I've gotten before, that I was just meant to do this, regardless of the asshole custies, technical problems, and all the other bullshit that comes with this job. Being your own whore beats being some faceless company's whore, that's for sure.

    Has anyone else had similar feelings to mine?

    Oh for sure! I'm older and semi retired so I only cam part time. Of course it has ups and downs but I wouldn't be working at all otherwise and I love it most of the time.

    I think so, I'm not cut out for a "real job". I mean, I could do it. But just dealing with customers and managers and all the bull. Not my style. I found camming at 18, have had a few hourly wage jobs since then. Not really convinced I was meant to do the hourly thing. Camming is natural to me, and even though I'll probably never be a "top model", I really enjoy it and make really good money (in my opinion),

    Before camming, I had some serious self confidence issues. Actually, besides the money, that's the main reason that my husband suggested that I do it. I've noticed that since I started camming, I have soooooo much more confidence. I like flirting with random people all day and hearing how attractive I am. It does wonder for a girl.

    I don't think I'm "meant" to cam, but I hope that I do well enough at it to quit at least one of my jobs in the near future. There are a couple clients that I will do some free stuff for because that's how I keep it fun. If I didn't do anything at all while I cammed unless I was making money, I think I would burn out on it very quickly.

    When the money rolls in and I'm getting easy fun privates, hell yeah.

    I think I'm a bit like drearea in this regard. I am NOT a 9-5er by ANY means. I never have been.

    I think I was 'meant' to become involved in the sex industry to some degree. I started as a nude art model right away when I was 18, then a go-go dancer at a gay bar, did lots of glamour modeling, stripped in several clubs, and eventually became a camgirl. I may or may not have dabbled in sugarbabyism to an extent...

    I have lots of chronic health issues and 40+ hr/week jobs are difficult for me. I also have a lot of artistic interests, a love of travel when I can, and spiritual pursuits...the sex industry allows me these freedoms. And if I need to purchase healthy organic foods or special supplements/raw foods I can afford it, or if I need special treatments or a massage or a session with a naturopath or some gentle yoga classes I can afford those too...

    ...I've always felt since I 'blossomed' I was stared at/ogled/harassed so I always thought to myself (in the back of my mind, of course! I even convinced my mom to get me clear little heels for my 8th grade graduation!!) that I may as well one day get paid for it. I stick out like a sore thumb, I'm really tall and leggy and blonde and big-breasted and even if I wear men's t-shirts and baggy shorts and no makeup I still attract attention...so I refuse to NOT bank off of my goofy gangly good looks.

    I am burnt out to some degree with regard to certain aspects of the sex industry but I have found lots to love about camming and I think I will do it for extra income for as long as I can get my creaky old bones on cam and whip submissive fetish boys into shape! I do have plans for a vanilla career/family, but I will absolutely work in the sex industry on the side as long as I can. I KNOW it'll be even more fun for me when it's not my only income source too.

    Fridays, I love your answer. You exactly put my feelings that I didn't know how to describe into words.

    I love webcamming a lot, but I think I love it as compared to the vanilla jobs I've had. I've worked in geriatrics, I've worked on Wall Street doing grant writing, lobbying, and staff training, and I've worked for an international health and wellness company doing sales. I also worked as a phone sex operator, and now a cam model. In all honesty, I believe I am "meant" to be a writer. It's been a dream of mine for over a decade and while I've made some money writing articles and doing some ghost writing, my heart is set on having my book published and going on to publish many more novels in the future.

    I think that I was meant to cam in the sense that I enjoy it and it gives me the flexiblity and autonomy to focus on turning my writing into a career, but it's not the be and end all for me. To be honest I'll still probably cam a bit and record content if/when I do become a successful author, but... I enjoy the isolation and self-sufficiency that camming affords me, but I think I will feel really disappointed if camming is the only thing I end up doing with my life. I think I will feel "okay" and "moderately content" with my life if camming is the end of the line for me, but I do feel like I am meant for other things and bigger dreams.

    For me, personally, I feel happiest doing this.

    The only downside is I can be LAZY. Given I do love it, I really should get my act together and work work work!

    I am meant to do many many things. Sex work, in some form or another, is likely one of them. But creative work, in any form, tops my list. And this job allows me to be immensely creative in a lot of ways. I plan to get into more vanilla creative work, for sure. But I also plan to get into more and different types of sex work.

    I am fascinated by sex, psychology, and fetish, and I would love to be a pro domme as well (at some point in the future). The best thing, to me, is that even though camming doesn't 'open up doors' in the traditional sense that you can write it on your vanilla resume, it opens up all kinds of doors for me in that it gives me a multitude of skills, improves my creativity, and gives me an outlet for all my sexual energies and explorations that aren't quite my boyfriend's cup of tea.

    I know that society wants us to have a big shameful stigma about our work, but I just can't. I love it, and if it weren't for protecting the feelings of my own family, I would announce it to everyone I know. This line of work has helped me emotionally and psychologically in a lot of ways, as well.

    I think I was meant to be a camgirl right now, while I go to University & hopefully get my Bachelors/Masters who knows.. which is going to take a LONG time, and a LOT of money, so I'll be around for awhile, but probably not forever. It really is the perfect job for me though because in between classes and studying I would never have the time to have a normal job, and even if I did technically "have the time" I wouldn't be making shit for money and I'd be miserable and exhausted all the time! Not that camming isn't exhausting but the two are different, and it's a lot more worth it when you're working for more than $8-10 dollars an hour.

    In a perfect world though, I'd win the lottery or marry a very very rich man who never cheats/tries to divorce me/is awesome, and I'd never have to work another day in my life, besides the general "mom duties" (me wants babies!), which wouldn't include any cleaning or cooking... because those duties would be for our personal chef and maid *sighs* A GIRL CAN DREAM, DAMNIT!

    Yes. Much as I hate the assholes sometimes and fight constantly with motivation, camming is the opportunity I was always looking and hoping for in all those shitty years working up the soulless, high effort for little return, corporate stepladder!

    I wouldn't say I was "meant" to be a camgirl, but I do know that I was meant to be my own boss. I don't do well with working hours assigned by someone else, begging for days off, dealing with drama in the break room, and kissing ass to hope I have a job for another week. Camming requires relatively low start up costs compared to most freelance work or starting your own company, and allows infinite creativity and flexibility. So for now, it'll do

    I should amend my answer I think.


    I plan to become an OB/Gyn-Midwife, but this will take a gajillion years of schooling. Until I have my "career" camming is FOR SURE what I was meant to do. I mean, if I play my cards right I can invest in a clinic of my own in a decade.

    So camming isn't what I was "meant to do in life" but it's definitely what I'm meant to do right now.

    I've never really thought I was 'meant' to do anything in particular, in the sense of having one career/occupation/role in my life that I was destined to fulfill or that suits me completely. I've just always done ish that interests me, challenges me, and allows me a lot of latitude in deciding what I want to do and how I do it.

    The work that I feel most passionately about is work that I don't get paid for. It would be awesome to bank doing the ish I love but that's never going to happen. I'm not being negative, that's just the reality of that work. Even my official 'career' which is in my chosen field (and I do love it, most of the time) and which does pay, wouldn't enable me to attain the type income I want to have all on its own.

    That's where camming comes in. I enjoy the work and I love the freedom of the job in that I'm in complete control of every aspect of my adult work, but more than that, I love the freedom that the $$$$$ brings me. I'm able to live very well today and make plans for the future that wouldn't be possible otherwise.

    I don't think I was 'meant' to do this, I think I stumbled into an awesome opportunity and ran with it. That's how I look at most things. The way I live my life and the range opportunities I'm able to take advantage of wouldn't be possible but for the time and place into which I was born, so the notion of being 'destined' or 'meant' to do anything doesn't have much meaning to me.

    I guess like alot of y'all camming just fits one aspect of my life, one aspect of my goals, and I thrive in doing it, so I do it. Trying to make any aspect of my life or work represent the whole wouldn't work for me, though.

    I want more than that:-)

    i do believe that i was most certainly 'meant' to work in the adult industry. it was not something that i had planned for but it ended up choosing me. i am grateful everyday since i fell into it, even on my off days, i am still grateful for this line of work. no other job or career can allow me the freedom, creative/sexual outlet this industry gives me while making a great living for myself. i am absolutely in love with this line of work, i just cant fathom doing anything else, this is it for me.

    I believe our struggles define us. Most of mine have been with men. I learned from an early age the power of playing up your femininity and the affects of that on men. Sex has always been my outlet, I was just ashamed of it for too many years. Never thought I could have a career in the adult industry because of my size (BBW). BUT, I do. And I am proud to be able to say that. Never thought that I could make this much hourly, even after I finish my Bachelor's. But, I am already. I love this job. I love the customers, even the irritating ones. I don't work as much as I need, I am working on that. But I can honestly say that as long as the boys choose to play with me, this is where I WANT to be!!

    I always felt like I was meant for the sex industry, whether that was stripping, camming, or working as a sex researcher or therapist. I've always been a sexual, open-minded person, and human sexuality is fascinating. I've never been happier, more confident, and more financially healthy than the past two and a half years that I've been stripping and camming. It's the perfect job for me because it's amazing money without working for someone else in a cubicle for 40+ hours a week making peanuts, I get to travel, I am able to save money for the first time, and I get to exercise all of my skills.

    I've been drawn to the adult industry since I was a child, as strange as that sounds! I used to envy girls in the sex industry because I believed I would never have the guts to do what they do! They were confident, independent, and sexy. All things that I wished I was...

    As a teenager I was too shy to even dance in front of other people! Fast forward to me now, at 20 years old....I've stripped in a club and now I currently cam.

    NO, NO not at all but I am very thankful that camming really helps provide me a better quality of life. Being a Transsexual woman, it's extremely hard to find a job since there's a lot of stigma, discrimination and prejudice. It's not something I've envisioned but I am making the best out of life. No apologies, no excuses!
