Is anyone having a hard time explaining what you do to your significant other. I know it's not porn or cheating, but what if he still doesn't understand???
 
Unless camming is a new job for you, this should have been talked about some time ago no? Presuming that it takes time to develop a "relationship" that close, it seems that this should and would have come up many times as its your time eater. There's really not much to understand in the abstract of it all. Just click on the site and let him watch. Discuss any feelings or questions as they come up. This "job" is not for those with closed minded SO's.
 
It's not quite porn, and playing at cheating?
Hope this helps explain it better. For someone who can't see the fantasy aspect (not everyone has a very good imagination), this is perhaps the best way to explain it.

Wont really stop them worrying about it, but it is about the best you can offer them.
 
Why not sit down with them at a computer and show them the actual site?

Not sure if you're a cam girl, clip maker, or what sites you're on, but I know it's often difficult to explain to friends just what I do on MFC. By showing them the actual cam site itself, it starts to paint a much clearer picture of what camming is like: the different styles of camming, the models themselves, room atomosphere, the responsibilities that come with it, etc.
 
Was just thinking how odd it is to have to explain your job to your SO. It is kind of an odd thing to do in many ways, something most of us will never need to do. I may be curious what an investment banker does for instance, but without the background I will just assume they actively increase the divide between rich and poor, by giving easy money to those who already have it.
 
This is so confusing. Okay. If they were already your boyfriend or husband when you started camming and they didn't know about it--yes it could be cheating. Cheating is defined by the relationship: in some relationships it is okay to fuck another person. In some relationships it isn't okay to even watch porn. In some relationships camming is fine and dandy. In some relationships exposing your naked body and masturbating for thousands of people is seen as cheating. I cannot fathom being married to someone and having to explain to them and try to get them to accept what I do. You should not be married to that person if you can't communicate or accept each other.

Anyway if you already are a camgirl and you get a new boyfriend or if you in a LTR and you want to start camming, which I think (hope) is what you're asking, I think the best way to bring it up would be to watch a few other cam girls. Talk about the benefits--working from home, potential to make mad scrilla, etc--as well as the negatives--keeping your identity secret, possible nonacceptance from family members, etc. In the end you can't force someone to be okay with anything. If my boyfriend came up to me and asked for an open relationship, it wouldn't matter how much he pitched the freedom/sexual gratification aspects, I still would never be okay with it because I know myself. In this case you'd have consider what is more important to you: your relationship or your camming career?
