Ask-a-Fan (Questions models have for viewers)

[Deleted member 64633]

If you're comfy sexualizing it there's a huge market for fetish clips in neck braces.

I hope you're ok!

Yes that's no problem I thought there might be a fetish for this too but unfortunately it'll have to wait longer. Wish I could bring the ER drip home haha!

Do you (honestly) care about the political stuff going on around online sex work (payment processor bans, category restrictions, laws about porn)?

I thought this was an interesting question when it was first posed, but I also think that a lot of people with minimal exposure to SW don’t understand the political stuff. They hear “stop sex trafficking” and of course that sounds like something any reasonable person would support

To that end, I was wondering if any models or content creators had seen the new Netflix documentary about PornHub called “Money Shot?” To me, I thought it did a good job explaining the political battles and the impact on SWs (while trying to be somewhat balanced) but I am curious if the reaction of those immersed in the SW world agree?

To my uneducated eyes it seems like the documentary can play a role in educating the public and humanizing legitimate sex work

Actually, that is a very interesting question. I would say that in general, I am very interested, as I am a fierce advocate of SW's rights.
More directly, I am friends with a Russian studio model. We have spoken at length about how camming is viewed much less tolerantly in Russia than it is in the West. Putin's "morality laws" directly affect cam models and are a very real manifestation of that.
My friend works under the constant fear that her studio could be raided and she could face fines, or even imprisonment.
What is even worse for her, is that her family has no idea how she earns her money. (Which she uses to help support them). She fears her son would disown her if he found out. She has a grandson she adores and would be devastated if she were denied access to him.
In short, if she were to be found out, it would be devastating.
She risks it because she says she makes really good money at the studio. She also has to hide her money, because technically it is illicit earnings. This has led to her investing in things including cryptocurrency. This makes me nervous, but I don't really know enough about it to offer her any kind of real advice.
Before anyone asks, she has never asked me for money outside of tipping her in her SC room. I also support her as a fan club member. If anything, she is forever telling me to save my money, so I really don't think I am being love conned.

Sorry for the essay. Just hope the Christian right doesn't put western SWs in a similar situation. Fight for your rights!

If you have a model added as a friend (I'm thinking about MFC, i don't know if other does have that), does it bother you if models say hi when you login? Is it polite or creepy?

If I'm a regular to that model or we've known each other for a long time, I wouldn't mind and would quite like it. On the other hand, if I only visited a time or two, I'm probably not logging in specifically to talk to them. It becomes a bother because then I agonize over whether to ignore them, spend time in small talk when I want to focus elsewhere, explain that I won't be visiting or logging out. That's just not something I prefer to deal with!

 

[Protocosmo]

Question! How "useful" is to you that the model you like has a social media account? Do you go see what time she's going to be online, for example? Do you care that she posts about what she's feeling or doing and so on? (Eta; I'm saying "she" because that's the majority of the forum but ofc I'm referring to any model).

And another one: do you often buy vids or subscribe to the only fans page of a model you like to visit and chat? I have the impression that the members who buy content are usually different from the ones who watch the streams, but lately I've been seeing an overlap. How do you guys feel about this?

Social media is very helpful. It lets me know when or if a model will be on. Plus it's always nice to see more of a model in other places and whatever things they're open to share.

I'm still trying to make up my mind on buying and subscribing. I've come to realize I hardly ever watch vids that I buy. So it's basically a combo of wanting to support a model I like and temporary horny overload. As for Only Fans, I do subscribe to different models on there but I'm not really liking the site too much. The other unfortunate thing is that OF seems to be the first place a model goes when they plan to quite live streaming. I so much prefer live streams to recorded stuff! Anyway, every purchase and subscription makes me question the wisdom of my choice while I never feel that way with a live cam.

If I didn't have OF and Peach, I'd be dead in the water financially because tokens costs so much and I get 80% on OF and Peach and only 50% on CB.

 

[Finchomatic]

I have a question. If you purchased custom content from model and she gave you turn around time before you tipped such as “up to 7 business days” or whatever, would you message her before end of agreed time line to check on it? If so, what members trying to achieve when asking “how’s video going?” or if she made video already? Do you believe this will accelerate delivery of custom content?


(I have this happen wayyy too often and I don’t get it)

I payed for a custom vid back in October and completely forgot about it until I received it last week on my B-day. She did not know it was my b-day, was just random chance.
Otherwise no, myself, I do not ask. Once things are agreed on and payment is made, sit and wait. Then ask 'how it's going' after the set time-frame.


(I guess I need to start asking how it's going more often now? )

Oh, I get it. One of the reasons I do purchase/subscribe.

 

[Tackybrady]

If a model shows up on cam injured do you leave because you feel like it's "begging for tips, looking for sympathy money etc." Or are you fine with that and tip chat or whatever regardless ?

Asking for a friend........

Not usually. But if the model is obviously ill or wearing a cast or splint I will often tip more. "Empathy tips" I might call it. And I have been known to tip enough to give the model the day off, to go home and/or get to bed. But if I am asked to do that time and time again, night after night, then It's time to leave.

I cammed when ill with Covid, I'm from a 'carry-on' type upbringing I couldn't meet my in-person commitments so had time to stream. I didn't have a cough, I did have a high temperature, headache, burning sinuses, surprisingly it didn't affect my looks I was really surprised I just looked normal. Used a painkiller sparingly. I cammed, made videos, took photos rested (stopped my physical training for a few days and slept much). I had an amazing 4 days then crashed a little.

When I told customers they expressed disbelief, a few questioned my testing, a few told me it must be hayfever, a few said 'Covid has gone, it's not around'. Many were concerned, wanted to know I was ok. This was last summer. Interestingly similar reactions by my real life clients especially regards my testing (I tested everyday and was careful with the tests(first positive I repeated).

Anyway I seemed to do ok tip and privates-wise everyone seemed fine once they'd gotten thriugh their momentary initial reaction. Point of my story I'm thinking customers get on with it once initial concern expressed.

I clicked on a room to read what a model's shirt said. Every movement was violently shaking her cam, then she grabbed the camera to move it so fast it created a blur through autofocus.

1) Does anyone like autofocus or find it useful?
2) The camera shaking -- thoughts? Is it like sitting at theater watching Blair Witch?

1. It can make me wince if it’s constantly blurring and un-blurring. It’s unpleasant to the eye. I guess it depends how often it refocuses and how jarring the blur is.

2. Shaking bothers me if it’s constant or if it’s only during an activity (since activities are usually the part of the show you’d hope people are paying attention to). Example: I’ve seen models occasionally that have a camera loosely mounted to something sitting on a desk. Then they’ll put their feet up on the desk. Any slight movement from that point on causes the camera to shake up and down. At that point, my eyes couldn’t focus on the show even if I wanted to.

From a user POV autofocus is only a problem when it decides to go out of focus

Camera shaking.. for me is very annoying if it is a lot and continual.

Any excessive movement that detracts from a clear view of the lovely body on screen is annoying to me. I once chanced upon a room where the model literally (and I know the meaning of that word) did not stop moving for more than maybe 3 seconds. Not dancing. She was seated and continually changed her position / rearranged herself every few seconds. I have no idea why. It could not have been ants in her knickers, as she was not wearing any

It was a shame as she was quite attractive, but it was impossible to focus on her properly.(I checked back once or twice after that initial time to see if it was any different, but it wasn't)

I was trying to be unbiased in my initial questioning but that was exactly what was happening. She just never stopped moving in an erratic manner and her camera was bouncing like it was a game of jax.

Autofocus is horrible. I've lost count of the number of models I've seen waving a hand in front of the camera to regain focus.

From a personal point of view, I own a Microsoft webcam and a few years back they stopped producing separate software for their webcams and moved all of the settings etc into Skype. Not only is this annoying because you need to use Skype, every time there is an update to Skype it seems that the settings reset to the default and I have to disable the autofocus again.

When a model says something like "love ya", what do you interpret that to mean?

 

[Smoothie]

When a model says something like "love ya", what do you interpret that to mean?

Similar to when a rock band ends a concert with “we love you all” or “we love you Cleveland!”

I interpret it as: I appreciate you being here, spending time and money to see my show and being a well behaved, enthusiastic customer. I interpret it as a gesture of appreciation for someone being a pleasant member of the audience (preferably spending money, but at minimum, being cool and respectful).

I do NOT interpret it as a reason to start an ACF thread called “am I being played” or some such.

 

[Ozzie_]

When a model says something like "love ya", what do you interpret that to mean?

If it is exactly like that, it means nothing to me. I'd take it as a "cam" throwaway line of appreciation/ acknowledgement.

Actually even if a person I actually knew in real life said it (including relatives), it would mean nothing to me (I like proper grammar for sincere statements )

"I love your tokens."

 

[Ozzie_]

Not dismissive as such, or I am not being 100% dismissive of it, but for me, I would prefer a heartfelt "thank you".

I guess it is a combination of my preference for correct grammar in communications and also the number of models I saw during my early years who throw out "I love you" too freely.

 

[Vixxen81]

"I love your tokens."

Well at least your head is finally on there straight. I'm glad you've learned from your experiences.

What if the model hardly ever says I love you or love you or love ya?

 

[Ozzie_]

Hmm, for me to know that she hardly ever says those things, I'd need to be familiar with her. In that case i'd try to figure out if it was sincere or if it was just a new mode of communicating with viewers that she was using.

If I was *very* familiar with her (and therefore she with me) I'd probably tease her about using "ya".

ETA if she actually said "I love you" I would worry and try to figure out exactly what she meant, as to me those three words mean a LOT and should not be just thrown around willy nilly.

"finally"

 

[misterical]

When a model says something like "love ya", what do you interpret that to mean?

It's a good question. It depends how it's phrased I suppose.

"Love ya" seems quite casual, although not necessarily dismissive. The use of "ya" makes it a bit jokier and not to be taken as a declaration of undying love.

However, I see lots of models (and members) using "I love you". I don't necessarily think it means that anyone is actually in love with anyone though. I only ever visit Latin American models and "Te queiro" is used a lot, which is like a form of "I love you" (literally I want you) which is slightly lesser and very distinct from "Te amo" which is romantic love. The subtle difference between the two leaves less room for misunderstanding in my view.

 

[sponkel]

When a model says something like "love ya", what do you interpret that to mean?

just that. A token phrase of appreciation, nothing more. Depends on context really, when it was said, how it was said, etc. IF it's just a random "love ya", then it's probably the same when a friend says that to you. HOWEVER, not all dudes are wired the same, there's a lot of guys out there who will interpret any form of appreciation as something more.

 

[basileus]

When a model says something like "love ya", what do you interpret that to mean?

Chances are high(er) that viewers take that by word the more of these things come together:
- viewer is young(er) and does not have much experience with cam sites and/or women in general
- viewer does not have much self-esteem
- viewer visits a/the model often/regularly
- viewer gets the "love you" often/regularly
- viewer gets "kisses" from the model via camera often/regularly
- viewer is emotionally connected to the model
- viewer is getting this experience in a room which does not have many viewers besides him
- viewer has a connection to the model outside of the room (snap, whatsapp, insta, ...)

Take all of that on the opposite and chances are very high that the viewer(s) will not take it word for word and put not much into it.
