Does it bother any of you that they are on these sites possibly taking money away from you ladies instead of say broadcasting on chatroulette?
The thing is, the few women who are doing this for free aren't actually taking money out of anyone's pockets. If anything, they just attract the freeloading member base.
Most members understand, especially these days, that women who do sexy, naked things online are usually doing it for money. Sure, we can enjoy it and I'm sure there's professional cam models and content creators who genuinely get off to being watched, but that's very rarely the driving force behind a woman's decision to cam/make content.
Physiologically, women generally don't need visual stimuli to cum. It helps, but you can be laying in bed watching a documentary and want to have a quick orgasm before bed to de-stress, and just using a vibrator with your eyes closed will usually get you there. With men, they usually need the visual or mental stimuli to maintain an erection so that they can have an orgasm. Why am I bringing this up? Because one, it explains why the ratio of female cam models to female exhibitionists vs male cam models to male exhibitionists is so extremely different. Women in general just don't need that to reach sexual gratification, even if it can heighten it. But since it's different with men, you have a ton more exhibitionists, or hobby wankers, who will get on cam simply because it's what they need to really get off.
I think, on some level, a lot of male members realize this. So, not only do you have the hobby wankers heavily outweighing serious male cammers, but you have male members who will assume that any other man on cam is doing it because he is getting off to it. And why should they have to pay when the other person is clearly also getting off and there's so many other hobby wankers jerking off for nothing? It's just not the same with women.
Sooo, basically, since the majority of women who cam or post nudes are doing it to get paid, there's that expectation there for members who prefer to watch women. But with men, since the majority of men who cam or post nudes are doing it just to get off, a lot of members who watch men don't expect to have to pay. So even though I don't get bothered by the idea of women creating content or camming "just for fun", I can see why male cammers feel much differently and empathize with them.
