    Default Should I ever do stripping or camming or should I stick with normal jobs?

    I had a lot of problems with camming. I did it irregularly from Nov after Thanksgiving until January some time. I had two problems. One I'm darker skinned. But I am ambiguous but not completely. And then I'm really small. So guys thought I was mixed with black and they'd wanna see my ass. And i have a very small ass while my boobs are bigger.. I'm a size 3 maybe but a 32DDD. I made more when clothed because they would pay to see more skin while if I didn't guys would just get mad. I wasn't into fully nudes either. I actually earned like 600 off of 35 hours of work. So it wasn't that bad finding the time to do it was hard and then regulars kept trying to test how nude they could get me it was annoying. I ended up selling my laptop but hadn't cammed in a month by that point. I heard with some stripping jobs it's not completely nude all the time but I really don't dance. I am more stiff sometimes too. So idk. Also with camming I didnt really fit the black stereotypes but didn't fit the skinny busty blonde female stereotype either so I was kinda just stuck in between. I figured with strip clubs would it be worst? Or better? I currently work in a call center but it's gotta go because the work isn't consistent anymore. So I'm either going to another call center probably customer service with like sitel or southerland or back to this? But the latter idk if it's really for me? Advice?

    Stripping and camming isn’t for everyone. It will make dating more challenging. It’s easy to get emotionally burnt out (but then again not too bad if coming from doing call center work). And there is stigma.

    From a pure $ standpoint, there are other ways to do it. From a freedom and flexibility standpoint, there isn’t much that can beat it.

    As long as you maintain your looks, it will always be there. Don’t do it unless you are truly ready. (For example, can you do the job stone cold sober?)

    I've never done drugs or alcohol really ever so it was never something I considered.

    Like I said the major thing was men with fetishes for black women and not really being able to fulfill that. But not really appearing curvy for breasts men because I look small in clothing. So the appeal was hard. But more than that is it's more a nude and sex kinda thing. I didn't really want to simulate sex so it was awkward. Strppers generally dance which if I knew how to dance that would work but I really don't. I have no problem with either work mentally. I'm a virgin even if like the people got negative and called me a slut or hooker I didn't even take it as an insult it's not a sensitive issue for me. They would say my boobs were fake once. I never minded because they're not. So idk I never had any problems it's just with the fetishes and role playing I wasn't into that. I didn't really like talking either though like dirty I think my voice e isn't that attractive.

    Go half and half for a bit -- part time straight job + dance part time. You will have a small reliable income from the straight job while you get your feet wet with dancing, build some experience and decide if it's for you. Splitting your time this way can also help to stave off burnout from dancing.

    Try visiting clubs first as a customer, especially if you have never been inside one. Bring enough money to suitably tip a dancer or two at each club so you can chat them up and get a feel for what it's like working there.

    Agree if you can't do the job stone cold sober you shouldn't be doing it period. Drinking/drug culture varies among clubs, just like literally everything about this job, but even in clubs that push drink sales you can usually find ways around that via virgin drinks if you don't want to drink. Or you can simply get a low-octane drink in a tall glass and make it last all night. Lots of ways to avoid drinking at work.

    In the club there is someone for everyone. You may well find that the club environment suits your bank account better than camming.

    Strip with a goal in mind. It's good to have a regular job and as well studying part-time for a college degree or academia-related as you move the ladder and building a large savings in short period of time.

    Things are changing fast in the strip club industry and as well with the economy and trends as well with a looming recession coming up.

    I remember your other posts, & honestly, you would have a prob w/stripping..
    Its not only dancing, but interacting w/men, you are going to get grabbed, insulted, etc can you handle that?
    Yes, there should be bouncers but things arent enforced as well as they once were.
    Unless you could find a no touch club, such as the Admiral in Chicago. It's a high volume place, w/lots of dancers, & you need to build up regular customers (this would apply anywhere)
    Camming, no, unless you go on MFC, & again, build up regulars if you want the clothes on option. It will prob take a while to do that. You'll get recorded too most likely
    Best of luck to you

    I didn't mind camming I never drank or did anything while working I was sober totally fine didn't mind when they got angry most of it was me sitting and smiling I never completely nude on the set. Wasn't into that. And so i wouldnt simulate sex so I felt limited I feel stripping would be easier. For me. But I don't know how to dance that's my main problem.

    I don't mind insults I get them regularly at work currently lol. I don't mind I just don't know like the boundaries being grabbed wouldn't bother me. I'm not like a lot of women when it comes to the adult industry my only issue with this industry overall is being a virgin but other than that I learn what the job is then I'll do it. Camming was so freestyle so it was hard being a beginner basically.

    +1 for the half / half time split between club and regular job ! There are really only a small percentage of full time dancers - it's HARD . I only could keep it up about 15-16 months. I was so much happier part timing it and so many people feel the same.
    You can always go full time if your dancing hustle is getting REALLY good and the other job starts to feel like a waste of time but I think if you are new a split is ideal.
