    Crossfingers Just after some info on camming.

    Hi there, I'm considering camming (well I've signed up for SM), and I was wondering a few things:

    • I'm a medical student, could something like this harm my career in the future?
    • What are the chances of getting filmed and put on a porn site? Has this happened to any of you/what happened?

    I'm sorry if this is a new thread for something that has been asked numerous times, but I didn't know where to ask my first question, mainly.

    Thanks,
    newcg

    First off, welcome! The short answers to your questions are yes, porn work or sex work of any nature can limit future career options, and yes, it has happened numerous times, to numerous people. Is it very likely that you will be outed at your school or after you begin to practice medicine? Probably not, but the chance is always there, and might bother you. You really need to consider whether or not you want to risk the possiblity of having a cam show recorded/video pirated, since it happens to almost everyone eventually. The long answers can be had with a crapload of reading and deciding on your own boundaries. Hope this helped a little

    Professional "vanilla work" high-ups tend not to think much of us sex workers. At all. To the high-ups of a medical institution, sex work may be looked upon as something of a stain rather than any sort of asset. That is whether you have "camgirl" plastered all over your CV / resume or not. - Depending on where you are (I don't think this applies to my location. I'm completely unsure, although I do believe this kind of thing is going to be rolled out in the UK if it hasn't already), more in-depth background checks can be done on you to find things like this out, even if you try to conceal your history.

    The chances of you getting filmed and put on a porn site are big enough for us to pre-warn pretty much every new camgirl to the point of pretty much: "Expect this to happen, at some point".

    Has it happened to me? Could have done! Last I checked, I couldn't find anything, but that doesn't mean my beautiful winking anus isn't floating around somewhere in the depths of the internetz on some forum where people are discussing my weird ass birthmark (yes, literally my weird-ass ass birthmark..) amongst themselves over afternoon tea; or perhaps my clit is floating around some porn tube site for all to see! XD I haven't actually checked in a while..

    The sites you could work for (MFC, SM, AW, etc), usually have a policy that they get to keep whatever material you broadcast. So, for all I know, SM could be using clips from my broadcast as I speak, as when I signed my contract, I gave them the rights to what I stream. But this, I am happy with, because if they go ahead and put that around the net, they use that to market us, advertise us, bringing in more traffic...

    I do believe there are ways you can try to get things taken down if you really want, but otherwise you should expect your stuff to make its rounds on the internet somewhere, whether it's for advertising or because some guy recorded you and posted you elsewhere, or took screenshots, showed it to his friends, etc.

    The pirating, oh the pirating!

    (incantatious totally made me want to post a gif too =P)

    There are numerous places where girls in the medical field talk about things getting screwed up as adult work is considered "Unprofessional Conduct" according to the licensing board. Here is one good thread about it. Melonie's response is very informative.
    http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...Nursing-School

    Basically it can mess up your licensing pretty hard.

    As for being recorded and posted online. Yes, yes, 1000 times YES. You WILL be clipped, you WILL be posted and the likelihood of you personally finding every single forum, website, and file sharing software with all of your clips/pics on them is tiny. You can always roll with it and pretend that if you don't see it it isn't there. However, you should truly consider this: EVERYONE googles porn. Everyone. I'm from a small town in the middle of nowhere and I've already come across one customer I went to school with. Geoblocking only takes you so far and is NOT a cure all catch all to preventing you from getting caught.

    It is your choice if you want to cam and I fully support and love all my fellow camgirls. I just want you to be prepared for what can and likely will happen if you venture in to this field. We make hazard pay for a reason.

    I don't want to come across as mother hen but if you're a medical student, I'd highly recommend focusing on that rather then being a cam girl. If you do decide to cam, there's always a chance of being outed and hurt your future career. I understand a fish's gotta swim and a bitch's gotta eat but please be sure you think it through first!

    Hi, I'm also new here. First of all sorry for my english is not so good as my english lessons from school are far behind.

    I signed up at SM and got approved about a week ago. I already made some money, but yesterday I was browsing other girls there, typing their nick names in google and I found their recorded private shows on XXX sites! Not all, but I noticed most of them were doing gold shows, so it seems this is even more dangerous because more people watch them so a chance someone is recording increases.

    I'm also a student(law) so I'm a little concerned now. I live in a small town in a small state where every little gossip quickly becomes breaking news. I know for cases when girls were found on the internet naked or even masturbating/having sex and soon everyone in the country knew it and even some newspapers published the pictures.
    I'm wondering about other girls in this bussiness who are saying it doesn't matter, are you planning to ever have a job besides camming in the future?

    I really don't know what to do now. I'm wearing a wig always when on cam, but it looks awful, I tried many different and still think I look best with my original hair color-legnth. And problably I'm still recognizable with it, even more though because I'm that type of face which simply doesn't look ok with heavy eye make-up.
    I'm considering never showing whole face or wearing a mask, but I don't know how much money would I make that way. I always get "face, bb" even in free chat.

    And what do you think, is a quality of the stream important when someone wants to record the show? Because I noticed, these recorded shows loooked more blurry compared to original stream. I have a pretty bad stream right now because of the slow upload speed. Do you think is better to let it be as it is and hope the video will be so crappy my face won't be recognizable or would it be better if I try to get better upload speed, better cam and just not show the face? Thanks!

    If I had a chance at a medical career and was putting years of blood, sweat and tears ( well, and money ; ) into accomplishing that goal, I wouldn't risk ruining it for something like camming.

    It's really crazy. The website that I visit to watch internet porn ALWAYS plays a 30 second video of a Streamate model in the middle of a show. And most of the time, it's a video of a model smack dab in the middle of a masturbation show. I can tell it's SM because I can hear that "Boop!" sound that it makes when guys enter her chat. But I think there's a 'Skip this ad' button that it lets me click on, so that I can skip that video and just go directly to the porn scene I'm trying to watch.

    If you are concerned enough about being found out that you would be extremely messed up if any of your video got out--DON'T do it. It's just a recipe for disaster. If you think you can handle it, are prepared not to give a flying fuck about what most people think about your job (either that or find another work from home or internet job to talk about instead. Ex: I really am in sales, modeling, video editing, etc. This kind of job can take all of those skills.)

    Picture what you would do if the scenario happened. Just say someone you know, a friend, or family member found video of you. What are all the bad things that could happen (within reason, sometimes scary situations are easy to exaggerate haha)? What if everyone found out and there was a photo of it in the newspaper? Not that that's likely to happen, but consider your reaction. If the list of bad things is outweighing the list of reasons why the job makes you feel happy, fulfilled, or even just financially stable, then you have to decide whether or not that is a problem for you, now or in the future. I'm pretty sure the ladies here that have decided that they can accept the possibility of being outed, and yes, some people want to just cam or do adult work. But some people, myself included, are interested in other kinds of work as well. I started camming my first year of uni, worked through it and am now using the flexibility of my job to let me do some creative jobs that don't pay me very well yet (but that I love a lot). I like both types of work, and I'm interested in sexual psychology, etc, so it's a good fit for me. Take the time to sit down and consider if it's a good fit for you or not.

    About your stream. It's way more important than wigs or masks or the way you wear your makeup, but I don't think the quality necessarily reflects whether or not you get recorded. Personally I think if a guy wants to record you, he will, regardless of quality, though I guess if it looked extremely blocky or blurry there would be no point. If you want to make consistent and good money, you almost *need* a good stream (I'm assuming by good you mean medium to hd quality). You can make money not showing your face, but it might be (perhaps significantly) less than what you might make showing your face. I say might because your income will likely vary greatly until you get a set schedule, find the right site that makes you money, work a bunch of hours and try a bunch of things. If you don't like normal wigs, you might try wearing a wig with a larger cap or with softer fibre (I really like kanekalon). Some wig fibre just looks very bad and is itchy, but you can get great looking wigs for cheap. If you don't like heavy make-up, try brighter makeup colours, or glasses. A mask might work also but then you run into the "face bb" "plz face plz" guys.

    Tl;dr: Really sit down and consider how camming will effect you and decide whether or not you want to stick with it
    - Upgrade your equipment and internet if you feel it isn't up to par. HD video seems to be the shit right now.
    - Also search the forums for 'disguises', 'wigs' 'makeup' 'identity' 'hiding identity on cam', etc.


    Ps: Welcome!

    There are lots of ways to make yourself look VERY different with makeup. Lots of tutorials on youtube. Try searching 'contour your face with makeup' and such.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hkwPJWyWzU
    I love that tutorial
    That one won't make you look completely different, but it gives you an idea!

    Contouring and makeup help with the "Oh that video isn't me" outting, but it will be no help on the indepth background check licensing board perform for medical licensing.

    Btw that video is awesome thanks!

    There's this one model who never shows face but she has a super sexy voice and another asset that fascinates viewers. She appears to do well, but again, she has something most camgirls don't, which makes her unique, so she can afford not to show her face. I'm sure med school costs a fortune, but you don't need this to come back to haunt you.
