    Default :heartbeat: Things you like about camming that are unrelated to income.

    I know we have a 'camming rocks' thread but by far the most common posts on there are about money. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I was wondering what you ladies get out of camming that has nothing to do with dollars. I want to hear your thoughts and what keeps you at it during slow times.
    G-spot rocks the G-spot.

    Its a huge self confidence boost. On days when I fell especially bloated or like my hair looks shit I go on line and guys are telling me how sexy I am or how beautiful I am!

    It also has taught me great insight. Just the other day I was messing around with this guy, getting naked, getting into it and he asked me to do something I didn't want to. I told him no, he kept insisting and I kept saying no. Then he says "your acting like a teenager". I told him it was time to leave, at first he didn't believe me but I made him go home. There was a time when that sort of undermining technique would have work on me and I would have done something I wasn't comfortable with but now I understand all these tactics and Im empowered to enough to put these fuckers in their place!

    ETA: Great thread BTW!

    I am in love with the freedom to set my own schedule. Being able to decide when I work and when I say fuck it, its probably my favourite thing about camming ( I would say even more so than the money) I love that on a nice day outside I can say this is me time and maybe work later, and then on a crappy day outside Ill bunker down and work double.

    I also love the freedom camming gives plus if i fuck it up there is nobody to 'punish' me or fire me lol.
    I also dont like to work in the morning, when i worked in retail (shop) i woke up at 5 to be there at 7, office jobs, woke up at 6 to be there at 9, when i got home i had a terrible headache also because of horrible traffic in this big city and been 'out of order' the whole day, unable to do anything anymore.

    Now i am my own boss, it can be isolating & frustrating sometimes but is better than being frustrated working a vanilla job & dealing with incompetent bosses and all kind of colleagues. My son says always "oh u soo happy to have this job" when he's getting up in the morning to leave for work & when he comes home & he sees me in bed or sleeping he also says "u lucky u!".
    I know right, i am lucky, i should remember this more often.
    I also love to be sexy on cam & i looove to dominate men & to have the power to kick them out when they misbehave

    The biggest challenge is when sites dont work at all or work bad, then money hurts, in other work fields is not happening this normally, if u have a job with a fix salary does not matter if the systems, power or whatever u work with crashes, u still get ur money but when u work a commission job like camming then every malfunction is affecting ur money making potential. Yeah, like in any job there are good & bad sides, it's important that the balance inclines to the good ones.

    I've tried a lot of mainstream jobs. They are so stressful. Everything is so goddamn serious and it's all high-priority: if you don't manage to do it all in the allotted time it's YOUR FAULT and you will be reprimanded like a child. When I've carefully and candidly explained to bosses why something is not working, I've gotten yelled at. I've taken a day off at the advice of a supervisor only to be called in to HR the next day and reprimanded for it. I've never known how to handle that sort of thing; not being treated with dignity and being expected to do nothing about it; even to be grateful to have the stupid job.

    Now I don't have to feel trapped. I don't even get mad. I just block. And for the most part I work with people who understand that THEY are requesting a service from ME. I guess that's what's called leverage.

    I love being able to take time off whenever and for however long I like. If I had a real job I wouldn't have been able to travel to 7 different countries in the last year on a whim, so FUCK YES caming rocks.
    I also like knowing that I am actually really good at what I do, and being able to see that in money in the door. Unlike most real jobs I don't sit at a desk and get paid the absolute minimum amount a company is willing to pay, I set my salary and I work to make what I want, when I want, and on my own terms.
    Oh and waking up on a frosty winter morning and turning up the heat and crawling back into bed instead of getting up to scrape off a frost covered car to head to work is also pretty fucking sweet.

    The exhibitionism! Not leaving the house! This community! The freedom of not GAF about an employer's dress code. Being able to take a break whenever I need to, and not having to if I don't want to.

    Feeling both sexy AND accomplished!

    I love not having to deal with gossiping coworkers, I love that I don't have to work with someone every day that I hate, there is no dress code, and I'm generally accepted by all the people that I talk to during the day and not treated badly by most of them like I am at my corporate job.

    Being able to sleep in, presents off my wishlist, & anonymity. Also being able to say "Fuck you" to a customer when they're being rude or asking for something unreasonable & not getting fired is pretty awesome.

    I guess I like it because anything goes in the sex industry. I can wear what I want, work when I want, not have to deal with people face to face. I can flip custies off if I don't like them and nobody will fire me for it. And being paid to treat men like shit and show my belly is pretty cool too.

    My PRIMARY reason is money. There are other pluses but if I could make this sort of money at ANY other job for the same amount of time put in, I would.

    Those other pluses include:
    Confidence boost as mentioned above
    Making my own hours - the flexibility to take time off at short notice, or work all night and have the day times to myself
    Increase in transferable skills - I know so much now about marketing, websites, coding, photoshop, video editing, affiliate linking, accounting, record keeping, motivation etc (the list is way longer I can't even think of all the stuff i've learned or developed in because of camming!)
    Independence from the factory set up of modern office/ shop/ workplaces

    And a HUGE plus for me (which was also a suprise) has been the sheer scale of opportunity I have to actually utilise my degree (Psychology) and other non-career training (NLP, Counselling, Mindfulness, Holistic therapies). Every day I use my imagination and creativity and get to do things I am GOOD at and enjoy. I could never use any of those things previously... not if I expected to make any sort of money anyway.

    After years in hospitality, the ability to throw people out who treat me badly is solid gold. I love saying no to assholes. And the fact that there's no higher authority than me--you want to speak to my manager? I'll ask Miss Dildo what she thinks. Ohhhh, she thinks you're a prick, too? Byyyyye.

    Honestly I'm not the world's best camgirl, I could have made about as much at my vanilla job, but not being treated like shit anymore is a constant relief. My blood pressure's dropped ten points, my TMJ is better, my hair doesn't fall out as much... for all I bitch, I really do like camming a lot.

    Caming is great because it allows me to do all the things that my theatre degree trained me for but that I could never make money off of in the real world

    Camming can utilize every single skill and talent you possess. Any skill can be used for camming. Seriously. Burping, farting, cracking knuckles, singing, gagging, picking your nose, picking your ears, squeezing pimples, talking dirty, talking, eating, playing instruments, twerking, dancing, typing, contortion, yoga, swinging, bondage, tongue aerobics, squatting, insertion, acting, reading poems, impressions, trivia, corsetry etc.

    You don't even have to do the conventional talents very well, it's all in how you execute your performance. You can be as creative as you want and combine your performance with disco lighting, put up whiteboards, chalkboards, write on yourself, play party games, engage with interactive toys etc. Camming is limitless. You direct the show, you make it what you want it to be on your own terms.

    There is no other job on earth that comes close to the flexibility and freedom of camming. We are all truly blessed to be living in this time.

    Call it crazy but I'm somewhat a social hermit and have literally 0 friends. I don't even go out, I just stay at home, all the time... I enjoy the social aspect of the friendships I've developed with long time regulars (some have been with me since the beginning). Camming is like my 'social life...' now I feel like a loser, whoo!

    I love it because I changed my look from short cropped black hair to long bright red hair. Instead of ever feeling weird about it I've loved it, the increase in money and so many men raving about how sexy red hair is, is awesome!

    Red is definitely an amazing color, I loved when I had my hair red like Ariel but was so sad when it kept fading out.... just like when I had my hair pastel purple, I was so over having to redye it (I didn't even wash my hair but once a week and used dry shampoos but it would fade from heat styling and brushing, etc) all time. So I just figured bleach it the rest of the way and keep it blonde (but now I have to deal with the dreaded black roots and platinum hair... lol) with accents in my extensions instead, its much easier to redye a few pieces pink and purple then my whole head+extensions to match (which never perfectly matched anyways, hah).

    I feel like I should chime in on my own thread here! Lately cam has been so sweet to me I just got to rave.

    The flexibility. Today was day 7 of tons of housework, vanilla work, and cam. I came home and was just taking a breather before cam time, drinking some coffee and reading. I had the not just 'ugh, work' feeling of not wanting to begin, but the more potent feeling of being burned out.... So I just left Skype on while I read, with the plan to do short/easy shows and respond to clients at my liesure. Made an easy $35 and two arrangements for long shows for tomorrow. How lucky am I to be able to say 'fuck work, it's me time' pretty much as needed without taking shit from anyone?

    Second, the fun. Never at any job have I been able to be so creative and do such a variety of activities! Whether it's crazy fetishes or playing with myself of roleplaying of stripping or just having a bath or shower, as long as I'm getting business I am never bored. And that is amazing for one's mental health- consistently using brainpower to come up with new and exciting ideas and solutions is soooo good for my neural pathways. Burnout over lack of stimulation at a job is no joke.

    Thirdly, it has allowed me to take my training in social work and utilise it in such an unexpected way. You know that book 'Why Men Love Bitches'? Yeah, it's really not that true in my experience- a lot of the time men want someone to listen and to care but who is honest and direct, even if they're 'subs'. I've had so many amazing responses about my compassion and understanding over such a difficult subject from clients and it really boosts my job satisfaction.

    Fourth, I also have and always have bad a deep fascination with human sexual psychology. Sex therapy is one option I'd like to explore in the future, but right now grad school scares me. Past that profession, you don't get a ton of opportunities to do field research like this anywhere else. Maybe as a Kinsey Institute researcher. I love knowing people's innermost thoughts and feelings, even random client guys, I love knowing what makes them tick, why the things that turn them on turn them on. I have so much data on the male human sexual psychology now, and I've been pleasantly surprised by man things.
