We’ve all heard the gossip about that friend of a friend who is a webcam girl stripping online for money. Money is the reason 99% of the girls are getting into webcam modeling. An experienced cam girl remembers the days when camming jobs promising a lot of money looked like a scam and nothing more. Who would have believed that men around the world are ready to pay huge amounts of money for virtual sex? But so it became our reality and the promises of how lucrative this job can become rather very true. The average cam girl income is a serious reason for a girl to decide to do it, but pleasure is another great benefit that comes with the job. 

Yes, the pleasure and fascination with sex work are common although the stigma around it makes people believe the opposite. But it’s not the same for all women. There are some models who experience body shaming and insults which are also real and can cause a lot of harm too. 

So, if you’ve ever wondered how it feels to be on the opposite side of the camera, here are some insights on what it is like living and working as a webcam model.

The Beginner Cam Girl

Every girl will tell you this: I had no idea what I was going to do. Regardless of how comfortable you are with your body, how sexy and seductive you think you are, the first time you are live on camera, it’s scary. Some girls decide to take it slow and not do anything sexual in particular. Being dressed provocatively and just lazing around the room it’s a more comfortable way to start your career but will not get a girl money or attention, that is the truth. So eventually one starts stripping clothes, talking to the men watching, and performing their requests. Feeling uncomfortable is mutual for everyone at the beginning.

The one deciding fact that will stimulate the girl to go on streaming is how lucky she’ll get to be with her first audience. Getting compliments and not being forced to nasty acts right away will help her relax. On the opposite, a girl being insulted and booed for not doing anything “interesting” in the first shows may lose her interest and desire to proceed to work. 

She is in Complete Control

Eventually, a cam girl becomes a girl boss enjoying her life during the day and preparing to work at night. Sleeping late, buying different sex toys, preparing the room for the show, and getting naked to enjoy the orgasms and make good money for the same. 

Being completely in control is the main factor that makes camming the most desired sex work. The control lets a girl’s imagination direct the show, the things that are pleasurable to her make her money. Every night, a girl is chatting with different viewers, performing as quirky shows as she enjoys, and trying out different sex toys and acts. The perks of performing for so many different men is that, now and then, a model gets to enjoy performing a private show for a man she actually fancies and does not have to pretend at all. Imagination and fantasies help a girl enjoy her performances very much and sometimes even more so than the viewer. 

 

 Is She Safe from Harm?

Every job in the sex industry is perceived as dangerous and this is why camming stands out. But the harm is mostly equated with physical violence and this is why many people believe camming is a safe job. While a girl is completely safe from physical harm, this is only partially true. Working as a cam model, she risks being harmed emotionally and mentally, but this is also true with any other job. People are experiencing workplace harassment in any profession and job positions. 

 

The advantage cam girl has, that makes the job completely safe, is that she can immediately go offline if something is threatening her safety. Yes, cam girls can just flip their laptop or turn off the camera if something goes seriously wrong, and avoid being bullied or harmed in any way. A good role in protection, play the personal boundaries a girl sets for herself. She will never do anything she is not comfortable with. Yes, all people choose a lower payment for the less dangerous or less stressful job and so do sex workers. 

Most models enjoy great confidence and they do not mind men coming into their room and shaming them for their looks, performance, or body type. Insults can’t be avoided as there are a lot of men whose sexuality urges them to pay a girl to take their nasty insults. Let’s just wrap it up as it’s part of the job that can’t be avoided.  

Can She Have a Serious Relationship?

Beginner models, men watching girls’ performances, and probably anyone else wonder if a sex worker can be involved in a serious relationship. The answer is yes, of course! 

Truth be told, all cam models agree that it is not easy to find an understanding partner but it is possible. Most men will not be comfortable with the thought of their girl performing naked for others, but for some, it’s a reason more to be dating a cam model. It may be harder for a cam girl to find such men but it’s definitely possible.

But there is another aspect of this profession that makes the relationship complicated rather than the nature of it. A girl can sometimes be exhausted and not showing enough sexual desire and interest for her partner. In most cases of failed relationships, this is the main reason rather than the man not being able to accept his girlfriend’s job. That one or the model realizing he actually is a porn addict, yes, this is often the case!

In the end, we can all agree, we all love cam models!
