    Default How has camming surprised you?

    The thread about jealousy over regulars got me thinking... Before I started camming I knew regulars existed, of course, but I didn't understand how common they are. I would never have expected so many guys to keep visiting the same girl time after time when they have thousands of other girls to choose from. To this day it kind of blows my mind that guys will repeatedly come back and spend money on me when they can have a different (quite possibly more attractive girl) for the same price (or quite possibly less.) Every time a guy with money to spend visits a cam site they're entering a virtual harem complete with thousands of girls who are just waiting for them... it seems like it would be every man's dream. But a huge chunk of customers are just visiting the same few (or even one) girl/s every time. This isn't just the occasional lonely guy pining for a connection or specific fetishist who can't get what he wants from just any girl. This is a common trend. Guys will come back to the same girl to watch her doing the same things every time when they could choose from any number of other performers. It blows my mind and has really made me question what I thought I knew about the male psyche.

    Anyway, thinking about that got me wondering how other girls' experiences with camming have surprised them or made them rethink their beliefs. What did you believe before camming and how has it changed your mind? (Alternatively, what beliefs or opinions has camming proven true?)

    It surprised me that they pay at all!
    That half the time They don't even want me naked
    That I can get away without using toys
    That men are manipulated SO easily
    That men are babies
    That men are sometimes INTO being babies. (And other freakiness!)
    That some sites pay so little
    That girls actually work on those sites!!!!
    That camgirl actually means sales expert/ technical person/ artist/ writer/ pr exec/ promotional guru
    That other camgirls can be so nice
    That other camgirls can be such bitches...
    That I have no issues with stuffing my pants in my mouth, or turning a gummy bear over and over on my tongue for a guy to watch (or other weirdness)...

    Nothing really surprises me now, but when I first started, it surprised me to see how many guys come on a pay site, but expect everything for free.

    -I'm surprised waaay more guys are into me than I ever thought. It's been really good for my self esteem. I intimidate men now!
    -there are too many guys into incest/sisters/cousins/moms
    -men seem to love age play & they generally love to be called "daddy"
    -super surprised guys think we want to be with them when we have never seen them or spoken outside work.

    I think through the years it suprised me how men are controlled by their cocks. How all reason, reality flys out the window and logic doesn't even enter the equation.

    How far some go to lie to themselves.

    Seeing the sheer desperate need to be validated by the opposite sex and in many cases the same sex.

    How so many aren't straight but get off to the men that show up on 100% cam girl only sites.

    How there are few that think for themselves when they arrive but allow the group to think for them.

    Also anger. I didn't realize cam sites made a great place to express anger towards women in general for past issues.

    How many fantasize about having sex with children.

    Also the uglier a guy is the cheaper he is and also the nastier, demanding, and ruder he is <--- This has been my experience. Hotter guys tend to be much more generous and expect less.

    Sites (usually owned by men) tend to give more options to harass annoy and stalk cam models even when it's clear it's done by the members that don't spend a dime on their own site.
    Also some new or indy sites (owned by men) tend to have one unprofessional male team member that attempts to harass the models for free shows or hook ups in person.

    On the positive note:

    There are some really generous men out there.

    The truth: They all expected to meet me. So I guess it's not true or genuine generosity.

    Also begging men outnumber the paying men 100 to 1 ( yes I made that up but on some sites it's true)

    Default Re: How has camming surprised you?

    Before I started camming I believed that I would feel really degraded doing it. I thought it would make me feel self-conscious to put my body out there on display for complete strangers to critique. I had heard about camming about 4 or 5 years before I actually started and when I first discovered it I thought I could NEVER ever do something like that, I would be way too shy and would never have the guts to expose myself like that.

    My reality has surprisingly been that camming is the most liberating job that I've ever had. For every guy that calls me fat, ugly, etc. there are 20+ lined up telling me I am beautiful, sexy, "the best." It's been a marvelous ego boost. Instead of becoming more critical of my body since starting camming I've truly learned how to own and rock every inch of me, flaws and all. So yeah, I've been completely shocked that camming has actually significantly raised my self esteem.

    That men would pay just to talk. There are a lot of lonely people in this world. Also, that these guys seriously will ask you to be their girlfriend, lot of them being serious.
    At 1st I was surprised also at the lengths men will go to jerk off.....watching webcams at work n stuff. lol. Pants down in their offices
    That on different sites, the custies are SO different on each site it seems. One site the custies are so sweet, the next they are almost ALL beggars, the next they don't like girls with an ounce of fat, but then the next are huge tippers. *shrugs*

    What still surprises me after 3 years is that most of my customers are in their 20's. I'm in my 50's and to me it is very flattering when a young guy likes me enough to spend money on me.

    That so many really make my heart pound, or tug at my heart strings, or hang around in my head throughout the day for various reasons. It can be sooo much more personal than I would have thought.

    How amazing my regulars are.
    How little most sites pay
    How easy it is to troll the nastiest of trolls and make their sorry little insecure asses regret treating a woman badly.
    How easy it is to control a room full of people. My social skills have increased ten fold since I started doing this job.
    Things I thought would be problematic are not. Guys value your personality far more than your looks. I have not lost a single regular due to cutting my hair super short. They all liked it, which was a huge relief.
    How shitty some cam models can be to each other. I was really floored to find out that some models go into other models rooms to hawk customers/neg them
    I'm better at this than I thought I would be, and I learn something new every day. I have a pretty nasty case of ADHD. I usually quit once I master a job because I get bored and lose interest. You never ever stop learning in this industry. There is always a new challenge.
    The old 'crazy stripper' adage doesn't really hold true for cam models. You REALLY have to have your shit together to make money.

    Same here. It's the first job that has held my attention this long (ADHD is why I had to leave the office world for good). Plus my tendencies to constantly change things up really pays off. Guys love coming to my room and notice a different backdrop, hairstyle, outfit, etc. I'm like a TJ Maxx camgirl, never the same thing twice LOL.

    My biggest surprise has been the fact that, like some others have noted, this job has less to do with sex than I imagined. I do solo and couple camming with my husband and even when we are together it is not about the sex much of the time!

    Totally agreed! I am in my 40s and I had no idea that there is a secret love affair going on with men (of all ages!) and more mature ladies that the media would rather we not know about because then they can't prey on our insecurities about aging and sell us overpriced wrinkle serum.

    Seriously, I recently saw a women's magazine feature about "Bangs! At any age!" Younger women can make them wide to show off their features but for older women, it was basically not make them too wide so you'd have more hair on either side to cover up signs of aging. So, basically, just hide our faces. LOLOLOL!

    Now I know I can just turn on my webcam on and feel the love. Guys particularly say they like me with less makeup so they can see my natural face. Screw the media!

    I think I just fell in love with you

    Btw, I sweep my bangs to the side because the guys love my face. In fact, they love it most when I do face close-ups. Take THAT media!!!

    I was just thinking about this earlier! It's really surprised me how camming has changed my attitude toward women in general. I'm a sex-positive feminist, so I've never looked down on women in the sex industry, but I've always had a habit of being VERY judgmental/slightly hostile toward other females, especially those who act like they're hot shit, and ESPECIALLYx2 those who act like they're hot shit and are older, overweight, or unattractive.

    I KNOW THIS MAKES ME A TERRIBLE PERSON. It is weird and not cool.

    Anyway, since I started camming, I've noticed that my attitude toward other women has done a 180. Some of my favorite camgirls are those who don't have Barbie bodies, and now when I see an older woman or someone I would've once thought "frumpy" whilst perusing profiles, instead of instinctively feeling condescending, I'm like "YOU GO GIRL! YOU ROCK THAT HUSTLE! MAKE-A DA MONIES!"

    So, I'm surprised at how quickly entering this world opened me up to better female solidarity, and made me a better feminist, and a better person.

    I'm surprised at how many girls break site rules and get away with it just because they bring in the big bucks. It makes it harder for those of us that don't like to break the rules or at the very least those that can't get away with breaking the rules.

    I'm surprised at the number of men that will pay me just to have a conversation with them
    I'm surprised at the number of men who think I'll actually do what they want for 1 token
    I'm surprised at how easy it is to make a guy believe you're his dream girl just by using a little bit of Google magic and having really good listening skills
    I'm surprised at how good camming has been for my self esteem even on the days that I don't make my goal.
    I'm surprised at how much difference changing my make up can make in my sales

    I thought I'd fail in this industry. I've never really been asked out, have been told to my face by multiple people that I'm straight up ugly, never really played with makeup or my hair or anything related to beauty (too busy playing with lizards and bugs) and just...I dunno, was very very very into masturbation but extremely shy in the bedroom. I'm also peculiar as fuck.

    So...I don't know what happened, but it did, and it surprised the fuck out of me! I still play with lizards and bugs but people think it's sexy now? I really and honestly thought I wasn't going to last, but I wanted to at least try. My confidence level is disturbingly higher than it was before I moved on to camming. I feel like I went from living in a box to strutting in a mansion, it's been life changing to say the least!

    You thought you were going to fail and that you were ugly?

    Fuck, here I thought nothing really surprised me anymore and you just blew my mind with that statement. You are so freaking beautiful, bb! I'd become a card carrying lesbian in a second just for you if you ever asked me.
