I think for any members if you feel that watching camsites is negatively effecting your life at all: QUIT! NOW! and never come back.
Camsites can be amazing things, they can keep people positive, help with confidence, loneliness, all sorts of things. But they can also be dangerous. Camsites should be kind of like a dress rehearsal for a play/band, fun, way less pressure, useful, but at the end of the day it's not the main show.
I have found the healthiest way people have approached camsites is when they're between relationships, or those who work a lot. For those who are single/just out of relationships, perhaps your self esteem is a little low, feeling lonely and horny maybe but not ready to get out there and start dating. Visiting camgirls at this point can help raise self esteem and stop members rushing out there too fast. What members should be careful about is not letting the camworld stop them from going back into the real world.
For those who work a lot, either they have relationships but they have to be away at work a lot, which causes loneliness and boredom, or they're too busy for relationships. In this case, well, why not? .
When camsites become unhealthy are when you're having real trouble dating in the real world, but very much want to date someone and settle down. If you feel this way then camsites are not for you.
If you can't help but spend more money than you have on girls: You should probably leave camsites.
If you're a sex/porn addict.
If you're looking for something cheaper than a prostitute.
If you can't afford to tip yet are looking for friends.
If it is causing you to no longer be as interested in real life girls.
If you find you're getting overly attached to certain girls, to the point it's effecting your real life.
If you're lonely and have been single for a long time for whatever reasons, or even married but in a fairly settled situation, and hold no hopes of actually dating camgirls then camsites can simply ease with the loneliness. Kind of like taking painkillers for loneliness. It doesn't cure it, but it can help. For those things I think camsites are a good thing.
Of course for members who have fetishes/sexual desires that can't usually be satisfied then camsites make a lot of sense. As much as interactive porn is great, and for many they much prefer it... I wonder how healthy it is for some... Does it take away some of the excitements of sex because it simulates something much closer to sex? There was once a day when seeing a girls ankle were enough to get a man off. I wish in loads of ways that I had know what sex was like in a time when I'd never seen a mans naked body. Imagine how amazing that'd be? Looking at boobs and porn is awesome, but is it kind of like if you eat cake all the time, as much as the cake still tastes good, it doesn't taste nearly as good as if you eat really healthily and do exercise and then get a taste of cake! I think it's worth the effort of not giving in and binging, which essentially is what we do when we watch lots of porn/camgirls. We're binging on sex.
Bit of a different discussion though...
I like the computer game analogy, it's exactly the reason I don't play computer games very often. I get very sucked into them and cannot stop playing. But I also do this with ACF, like today, I've spent the last 2 hours on ACF and I only meant to be about 10 minutes. I haven't noticed the time go.
My advice to members who feel they've spent too much money and not really got much out of it: leave camsites and move on. You clearly enjoyed it at the time so stop having buyers remorse. Just like if you buy a take-away and eat it, after it's finished you may regret both eating and spending money on it while you feel bloated and tired, but you wanted it when you were hungry. So learn from your lesson and try not to break next time you're hungry, or if you do, take it at face value. Accept that everything comes with a price, and that is often more than financial, then decide whether you're willing to pay it. Once you have, move on.
