    Default What's your before camming ritual?

    EDIT: I just realized there's already a sticky thread for this. *facepalm* sorry guys.

    i'm curious- what's your before camming ritual?

    I put on some sassy music and put my make up on. Then, I clean the area where i'm going to work, clean my sex toys, and put them to the side. I grab a couple bottles of water and something caffeinated and put them to the side, make sure i've ate, put some cute undies and clothes on, spray some dior, and then I angle the webcam and make sure the lighting is up to max and that my computer is plugged into the charger. I pre-write what my status will be so I can easily copy and paste it, let the people i'm living with know that i'm busy and need to not be disturbed, let skype contacts know i'll be online, and then i'm on.

    Jeopardy. Seriously. I get my makeup started while watching and get my outfit on and set up the light in the 30 mins following. I sign on around 8pm PST typically, then stuff a towel under my closed door & turn up spotify to block out any potential roommate weirdness o_O

    First I clean my cam space, idk why but I feel like every thing will go wrong if what the guys see is something I didn't clean or make look the way I prefer it to. Then I grab all my camming shoes, toys, coconut oil,lotion and baby oil and place them close to my space. I delete the history and all that stuff from my laptop and restart it. Then I go take a shower and try to get my mind in the right state. When I come out, I put on my makeup, put on my wig, get dressed and put my phone on silent. Whatever Im drinking, smoking, snacking on I would go grab it or make it and set it close and then im ready to make some money, hopefully a lot of money

    Take a shower, put on some music, do my hair and make up, set up my lights and camera, make sure i have lube, lip gloss, a drink, and my phone within easy reach. Restart my computer and end any unnecessary processes for optimum RAM. Switch to cam music, check out how everything looks in the encoder, then I'm good to go. Possibly with a cigarette or five thrown in there.

    Though lately I've been doing my hair and makeup before my shower and then taking a super short shower from the neck down. It really helps keep me out of perfectionist procrastination mode. ("But I don't FEEL clean yet! Just twenty more minutes.")

    Because I read somewhere that if you don't delete that stuff (cookies, history, etc) your computer will run slower, I restart it because of the same reason. Last thing I need while in a private is a frozen screen.
    I think everyone should do it but that's just me, but if you don't have any issues with your computer/lap top being slow, then I'm sure your ok... but then again it doesn't hurt.

    I find it harder to procrastinate or just say to "hell with it, snow day!" If I set up my cam space first and then get myself ready after. Setting up my cam space requires me to adjust lighting, set up curtains, and gather all the toys, drinks, ect. I need. After I do that, there is really no going back. So I take a shower, do my make up and I'm ready to go. At that point, taking down and putting away all my cam stuff is more of a hassle than actually logging on.

    I'm a huge procrastinator, too.
    "I need to get thoroughly caffeinated first"
    "but i'm really depressed"
    "whoops it looks like it's a little slow on there today"
    "I think I need to go back to sleep"
    "but I have terrible acne! how am I going to cover this shit up?"
    "ugh but cleaning"
    "I think I should call my boyfriend first"
    "I'm UGGGGLlLLY it's time for a self loathing break down!"

    And so on and so forth until I finally get my butt in gear.

    I've been thinking about camming rituals and wonder......do you think that you should have a different ritual for each site you are working or if you should keep with the same ritual always.

    I think, for me at least, it's all about making sure you're comfortable/prepared. I do my "ritual" so I won't randomly get super thirsty and have to go off cam and get water and then come back and have lost people in my room. I pre-clean sex toys because i'm probably putting them in my mouth. I keep them to the side because I know someone's going to ask about them and having to go find them is a pain. And, they can get people in your room if you need them there by going down on it.

    I think it's not so much about different sites as it is about your different needs and what you need to do in order to feel prepared and comfortable.

    Well, let's talk about end of a camming shift rituals. That is new, right?

    Does anyone have rituals that help them wind down?

    After I cam I make sure everything is turned off, pass out, and wake up 6 hours later with my lashes half glued to my lids and half glued to my pillow. It's almost a religious experience, really.

    After I cam, I break down the "set". I wash all my toys and put them up, put up the candy and wash the cups. Once that's done I take a bathe and wash the day and makeup off. Put on my PJs and make a nice, big cup of coco then I climb into to bed and I check all my new comments and I created an excel sheet for my daily income ( and charge backs if any) and I punch in my figures.

    Lol, I admire your girls' after camming ritual. Here's mine:

    I have every intent of punching in everything I made in the half-completed money worksheet I have. I also have every intention of eating something healthy afterward and washing off my make-up. Instead, I realize how HARD I worked for all those weird internet guys, and I lay down for JUST 5 minutes. Then I wake up 8 hours later next to dildos with hot pink lipstick and mascara running down my face, all my lights on, contacts still in, and 2 new pimples from sleeping with heavy foundation.
    Oh ya, and I either have the Streamate chat screen or Stripperweb to wake up to when I press the "wake up" button on my computer

    Pretty accurate. And you forgot the part where you tell someone to wake you up at a certain time in the morning, and then they come in & try to wake you up and NOTHING wakes you up. That person proceeds to put frozen strawberries down your back and you still do not wake up. Then about 20 minutes later you become semi-conscious and start yelling "COME OOHHHEEENN" in your thick NY accent that only pops up when you're half asleep.

    My after cam ritual starts with "OMG what time is, i did not noticed" Fast shut down the computer, throw mu toy's box and stocking under the bed, put lingerie under the pillow, throw my wig somewhere in the closet, put my lamps, tripods and cameras behind the closet (and trying not to burn down my apartment), quickly wash out (half of) my make up, make face, like i just came from sleeping and go and wake my kids and make them ready for school. After that i hit the bed...or floor, if i do not make to bed.

    My before cam ritual is trying to remember and find, where i put all my camming stuff.
