    Default Camming Safety/Finding Real Name

    Hey,

    I've been considering camming and I have a question about safety that I want throw out there. I already made youtube videos under an alias (different from my birth name) but my real name and image is out there on the net, for professional purposes (non sex-industry related).

    I know I can make a fake name and block territories, but I'm wondering if it would be safe to put my image out there as a cam model, if there is a chance someone could see me on youtube and track me to find out my real name and location.

    Should I block out the entire US territory, and if I do that, will this affect my earning potential significantly?

    Thanks.

    Blocking the entire US will definitely affect your earnings - maybe less so if you're on one of the UK-based sites (I believe AdultWork is one?) but my understanding is that US-based models don't usually get great placement on those sites.

    How prominent is your image on the net? What type of career are your images on the net associated with? How negatively would it affect that particular career if you had a few customers find you? Child care/education would be much, much more problematic than architecture, for example.

    Thanks, Sabihah. My career is in film/media. I also pole dance recreationally, and have many sexy pole videos online but none of them are nude. I'm pretty open about the fact that I've considered stripping, but camming is different and I don't really want them to get mixed up. I've considered stripping as well, I'm just going through the pros and cons of both given my situation and trying to figure which would be "safest" to go after.

    No matter how many precautions you take, there is ALWAYS a chance that someone can recognize you, look up your personal information, out you to your friends, family, or worse. You can use geoblocking, wear wigs, use makeup contouring techniques, use a fake accent, etc to help lessen the chances that someone will make the connection, but there will always still be that chance that you get recognized.
    Also, please be aware that camming DOES leave a paper trail (because we're all law abiding citizens who pay our taxes), and some sites (streamate, for example) plaster their name all over everything so you could be found out through in depth background checks for future employment if you're in a field that requires it.

    Please read this thread about background checks. There are several personal recounts and additional links (thanks Isobel!) to read that can help you understand how camming can affect your professional life in the present and future, family life, etc, as well as threads about forcibly being outed to your community, your employer, to customers, etc.

    I can't afford to be "found out" camming as I would be out on my ass in my day job! I have been mostly on SM; I geo block 2 states but I also just found out (yesterday) that SM sells our shows to sites as a way of getting customers to SM and geo blocking doesn't work there.
    I checked one site and found a clip of one of my gold shows. Honestly, it was a lousy clip but I was there. I emailed SM and hope they will remove it!

    Thanks, y'all! I think given what's been mentioned here, it'd be best for me to forgo camming-I don't need more stress in my life if I already have an online persona built up. I'm going to try stripping, if anything-I wouldn't mind as much if people found out, or even if they recorded me performing on stage. <3
