    Question The War between The Bed, The Couch, And The Chair

    I know that we all prefer to cam from usually one of the above (bed, chair, couch), (or maybe standing/floor). I'm wondering how to do each gracefully---i.e. Which way will be most conducive to getting more paying customers?

    I have tried each, but with a terrible back condition, sitting in an office chair works best... For me. However, I make less when I do. I know... stand up every now and then...but my room fills up with freeloaders, then they leave, as soon as they see I'm not going to show any skin.
    I watch girls in my categories, and age group, propped up or across their bed, thigh-hi's, and bra and panties, or a cute chemise, with high heels, and Bam.. Prvt. after prvt.
    Every time I try it, I feel very uncomfortable, (and it must show, because.... all looky loos and no money.
    A desk chair must seem to custies like I'm at an office, and ready to type, as it doesn't make $$$ for me either. (Most porn uses beds/couches), I would imagine, from what I've seen.

    It used to be so easy to get guys to buy, with just a wiggle and a turn. Now, I'm sooo confused.
    I did cam at my friend's house a few times from her couch, and I felt the most comfy, and made lots of money. (I don't have a couch in my tiny place, but if that's what it takes, I'll get one.).

    Since 99% of my custies are in their 20's (I probably wouldn't need to bring this up if my guys were much older), I'm wondering what in the heck do they want to see to get their attention enough to spend money?
    I really though that in 4 yrs. of camming I would have this down pat, but I'm more confused than ever.
    Any suggestions on where/how to cam so it looks sexy, yet I'm comfy?
    Thanks So Much,
    Glam

    I can't cam from bed much either. I'm in a comfy overstuffed office chair to keep my back from hurting, but I'm starting to think I could do better on a couch because it doesn't look as sexy as being in a bed or on a couch.

    I cam on a chaise lounge; got backproblems too. When I will have more room I am going to add an office chair (which can twirl).
    Most of the time I am sitting on my knees (on the chaise loubge), this prob not a good pos for my knees but my backpain is significant less. I also have a bunch of pilllows to support my back when I am going to lay down. My chaise lounge is very small which I wanted on purpose: I can place my legs on each side of the chaise lounge when sitting down, its not that wide that that position bec uncomfortable... Also with riding a toy I can sort of stand on my feet and go up and down instead of sitting on my knees; takes less energy\\

    I used to cam from a chair, and it was useful as I had lots of space and guys could see me full length...but then I moved to the sofa, and guys told me that they preferred it. I can lie down more, and seeing me full length doesn't seem to matter. The sofa is more inviting too, they can imagine themselves joining me on it which they can't do with a chair. I have to watch my back too...my sofa has padded, sloping arms, and I prop the cushions against it.

    This is a bit OT, but I've always wondered about models that sit in an office chair. Do you move to some other furniture item when you're in private, or do you actually do the private sitting in the chair? I honestly can't imagine trying to do a private in an office chair - I'd probably tip the thing backwards all the time.

    I have a spot where I sit for free chat, and then when I go private, I hop over a few feet to a large futon, where I do the actual show. I also have a bunch of small decorative pillows on the futon, so I can adjust them as needed during the private to make sure my lower back and neck are supported.

    I don't have back problems, so I don't really know what would be most helpful. I've worked a very sedentary desk job, though, and I always got a lot of back tension from sitting in an office chair for long periods of time without moving around much. I know they make very nice, ergonomic office chairs, but I suspect you have to spend a lot to get one that would really offer the support you need over a long time period. Also, office chairs are usually designed with the male body in mind, whereas most women have a bit more curve in the lower back and need more support there. If you spend a lot of time in the office chair, you may want to look into a good lumbar support device to make it a little more supportive.

    I bought an expensive one with lumbar support, massage and heat and it also reclines with a separate leg support. It's very sturdy and comfy for privates when reclining but I think the visual is not as lucrative as a bed or couch would be. Wont do me any good to move to a bed though because I couldn't cam for longer than an hour at most without my back killing me.

    Confused

    Default Re: The War between The Bed, The Couch, And The Chair

    My office desk used to be in my bedroom, and I would sit at my desk chair during free chat, then hop onto my bed for private and move my cam from the top of my monitor to my tripod.

    Then after I graduated from college for graphic design and was ready to start my freelance design career, I decided to move my desk and computer to the office that I share with my boyfriend. I got a really good i7 laptop with my graduation money and one of these laptop carts: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-...Black/17479996

    The goal was to try to separate my two jobs. I would do design stuff only on my desktop computer in the office, and cam stuff only on my laptop computer in the bedroom. Seemed like a brilliant idea! I'd be so productive!

    Well, that didn't work out how I planned it at all. Since sometimes camming is slow, and sometimes freelance work is slow, it was very difficult to focus on just one at a time. I'd be working on my design business website while waiting in freechat, or doing cam marketing and editing videos while working on a client's logo. Also, sometimes the two businesses crossed over, since I do design work for other cam bb's. But I digress... basically what happened is I ended up sometimes getting on cam with my laptop on my bed, then my back would hurt from camming on the bed, so I'd move to the office. Then I'd cam from my office, which was better on my back, but not very fun during privates (try to open ass bb from a wobbly, swirling desk chair while making sure your butt hole is in focus).

    So, after 3 years of camming I still haven't found my sweet spot. But we're trying to move soon, and I've told my boyfriend that I'm requiring at least a 3 bedroom so that I can have my own office. When that happens, I plan on putting a day bed or couch (probably a futon) in there so that I can do everything I need in one place. Also, being able to have the camming lights up all the time and not have to take them down would be amazing! *sigh* someday!

    I perform on my bed in the background. I sit on a bench in between shows. Luckily I have good posture so I sit up straight no problem. I used to use my office chair, but my dog peed on it. So that got trashed. During Gold Shows I stand, because of my hustle.

    I don't like to cam on a couch or bed because I WILL fall asleep. No joke. If I get comfortable, narcolepsy happens I suppose. I can sleep sitting up, mid conversation, and eating. I know it's hereditary because practically everyone in my family is the same way.

    I'm also with Tsani, I like to separate my camming life from my real life. My bedroom is were I should sleep and relax and not have to dodge dildos and stockings. I also use my camroom for school work. My husband has his own office when he is doing his freelance web dev stuff as well.

    I call my room the "masturbatorium." I think it's fitting

    When I first started camming I was always on my bed but now I cam in my study, at my desk, on my desk chair. I have a small sofa in the study so will move to that if a private guy wants me to.

    For Skype or pre-arranged private I use my bed. Last week, for a change I did cam from the bed and man, after four hours I could hardly move...my back ached so much! The bed is great for intimate shows but not good for hustling.

    I stick to the bed. Queen size. I don't care. I do pilates to work on my posture and stretch a lotand sit on the edge of it close to the cam/computer while chatting, while frequently moving around to show off my bod/whatnot. Then I put my face up close so the boys can get turned on my my nostrils. And my smile.

    And I get up between shows, especially ones involving lots of knee-time.

    I have back issues too, so comfort is VERY important for me. For me, firmer is better. I have a cheap-o futon that I ordered on Amazon that's compact enough to fit in my cam space and firm enough to give me support. I can sit comfortably on it in a few different positions, and it pulls out to be a twin size bed if I need that. I also have a bunch of pillows that I can use for back or neck support when I need them.

    I cam from an office chair in a corner of home office. I can sit on edge and ride or lie back and put my feet up for that,turn around for doggie. My problem is seeing the screen when lying back or obviously in doggie. I would love to re-do and add bed or heated recliner or move to spare bedroom but internet signal becomes problem in other rooms.

    I can't cam from bed. It always looks like a really comfortable idea, but it's way too hard on my knees and lower back. Having to deal with that now in my temporary home. My old place (lived there for 3 years) had two bedrooms and I converted one into an office with a desk and chair so that's what I'm used to. Plus, it's easier to get just about any angle I want from my desk chair. I did perform hardcore shows from the chair when I got them, but then I'm super flexy and have a strong core, heh. I will say that the the handful of times that I've cammed from my couch (or the floor even - I just spread a comforter out), the money for hardcore just comes pouring in. I want to get super fancy at my next place though as far as my background. Definitely going to incorporate a small couch or a chaise lounge.

    I used to do what Audri did, meaning I had my computer and cam set up on my desk directly in front of the bed and just flip the thing up to a different angle for shows. Unfortunately, I moved and put my office in a separate room (with my desk, of course) and couldn't cam without a bed at all. I have to spread out in my shows to do what I want, so it's rough without the space a bed offers.

    I've currently got this really unstable Leaning-Tower-of-Pisa status set up where I move my arm chair in front of my bed, put a small ottoman (for my socks, lol!) on top, and prop a pillow behind the whole thing so my laptop can sit there comfortably and my cam sits on the chair's backing on the corner. All my supplies and stuff get nestled in the 4" gap between the chair side arms and the tiny ottoman. I sit behind it on the edge of my bed so it's a waist up view of me on cam. It's wonky, but it works and the guys never see it. Of course, when people come over, it's harder to hide all my crap if I forgot to clean up right after work.

    I mean, 'no guys, this random assortment of lube and sex toys on a precariously stacked chair crowned with my laptop and a webcam isn't weird at all! Also, please disregard the 'streamate.com' sign on the wall above my bed. Seriously--don't look that up. Or the model name listed there. I mean, I don't model there. What?'

    I cam from an office chair. It shows all of my upper body and I can get up and move around. It also tilts back if I want to play and I can bend over it.

    I tried sofa and bed and it's too uncomfortable for me.

    I also have other work on the go, so working from a desk is good for me.

    Well first off...most of my favorite top girls on SM sit in an office chair in free chat. I do as well. I'm not worried about showing off my body in free chat, I don't want to give too much away for free. It works for me because I talk/type to each person who speaks to me...that's my hustle. When I get a private I stand and move to the floor/bed for showing off my body and just move my camera around. I don't really think any of it matters though...whether you're in a chair, on the bed, standing up, lying down, whatever, if you make yourself appealing and work a hustle you'll still make money.

    Thanks Ladies for all of the advice! Keep em' coming!
    Since my back is still hurting from my one and only 'bed' show a couple of days ago, I'm going to stick with desk chair for a while. Yesterday, camming was easy, because I just stayed put in my chair, and luckily it was busy.
    I can do any type of show from it, and everything I need is right next to me.
    I do like the idea of bed in the background, but I would need to fix my 'perfect' lighting, so it would be a hassle, at this point.

    I cam from my bed, mostly because I don't have anywhere else from which to cam. I sit up against my headboard with pillows behind my back. My laptop is set on this box so it's at eye level and I don't have to bend down to type. It looks totally stupid, but no one can see it. I also cam with only my face and upper body in view and make people tip for anything else.
    I think I'd like to cam from a couch eventually, but right now that's not possible as I have limited space.

    I cam mostly from my couch-- I actually wish I had a desk and office chair to cam on. I seldom cam in the bedroom only because 1) positioning myself comfortably while chatting is difficult and 2) since I'm usually forthcoming about my marital status, I just don't feel comfortable doing it in my married bed. That's just me. I have a ton of neck issues also, but as long as I make it a point to move around more and stretch so often it isn't too much of an issue WHERE I am.

    Go with a loveseat if a couch seems too big! I think the guys would love that and you could still posture yourself correctly while teasing the crap outta the guys from a more "comfortable" and "visually appealing" seating..
