How long was it before you 1st looked into camming, and when you actually signed up on a site? And then, did you fire up the cam right away, or did you wait awhile before actually getting on cam?
 
10 years :haha:

Part of that was relationships I was in + PSTD.

I'm glad I waited until I felt ok about it though. Had I started 5 years sooner I may not have been able to handle it.

Don't do anything until you're ready and consider the ramifications of this. The internet is forever.
 
I want to say I did it pretty fast, but I'd actually been low-key interested in sex work for a while.

I did pole dancing classes, and would joke that I would be a good stripper, but 1) was afraid of the stigma and 2) self-conscious as I'm a curvy lady. Even considered working at Hooters a number times, 'cause I essentially liked the idea of using my tits to get money? Lmao.

When I lived in Ontario I started selling panties for a little bit as well. Didn't consider it sex work or anything, but it kinda showed that I had no issue with it if that makes sense.

Then one day last year I saw an add for a cam site and suddenly I was like yo I could do that!! I researched for about a week and worked up the nerve, then on cam I went. :)
 
A couple weeks. I'd thought about stripping for a looong time, but I knew I had too much social anxiety for it. At some point I became aware of camming, and then at some point later I got sick of my job and decided I wanted to be a cam girl. I'd never had anything against sex workers, I wasn't/ am not planning on getting a job sex work would affect, and I was at a point where I could be reasonably responsible about it in regards to finances and safety. Basically I quit my shit vanilla job, researched camming for a couple weeks, and then got online.

Its taken me a very long time to finally start testing the waters. It's something I wanted to do forever but just not had (or have yet) the confidence to do.
 
I'd sortof kindof heard about the profession but thought you had to be in L.A. working in porn to do it. Then one day I stumbled upon the kooks' bad habit video and started researching it right away. I was broadcasting live within a few days.
 
My bf and I talked about it for a few months and I was a little bit interested. It started off as just chatting on cam and then turned into more sexual stuff later on. I mostly decided I really wanted to do it when I realized how much money there was in it and I had semester bills coming up so I really needed to do it.
 
It took me maybe about 2-4 months to get around to it, I had been interested in such things since I was 16 (about 4 years before I started) but I didn't want my naked body to be on the internet forever for my friends and family to stumble upon.

Even then, it took me till I was 22 or 23 to fully accept the reality of the situation and to say "fuck it" to everyone. Now I'm 24 and have been off and on for 4 years, as I have severe confidence issues.

Everything in life is different for everyone, and it's better to sit back and think about it before you try it. No shame in it.
 
I spent about 1 month researching and watching cam models before deciding to sign up for it. I also talked with a cam model that I know in person about a lot of stuff concerning lighting, what to expect, etc. once I got verified to go online I went on pretty fast even though I was very nervous. I was not really happy at the job I was in at the time, and I thought that being a cam model would be really fun so I tried it and instantly loved it and the community!
 
Started as soon as I was approved (within a few days) I looked around and just figured the only way I’d know if it were a fit would be to do it.

I started as soon as I got approved. It took me a long time to try however because 1: Didn't think you could make as much money as in stripping unless you were already famous and doing a lot of things that I knew would be past my boundaries. And 2: Fear of people knowing me seeing me on there and use screenshots to blackmail me. I eventually said fuck this. People I know might see my naked body. So what? Watcha gonna do about it? Show it to my grandma? Yep so after quickly getting over this I got started and realised you can make as much money as you want and you can do that without crossing any of your own boundaries. Im so glad I ditched stripping! Done with the night shifts and being around alcohol all the time!
