New Girl - Already Embarrassed Myself..

[EllieShepard]

Hi Forumites!

I havent been camming long, im super nervous and awkward and havent quite found my niche yet. I'm having fun and i love doing it! But I have a lot to learn. This happens to me with most jobs, im a bumbling idiot with no sense of direction at first, but once i get my groove going? I ROCK!

Today was not that day.

Long story short, a stubborn slippery dildo knocked out my camera feed while i was in a private .....He gave me a 2 star rating :/ C'est la Vive i suppose haha.

I was wondering if anyone else gets that "I have no idea what in the %@#& I'm doing!" fear? Today certainly proved that much like off camers, sexual mishaps are just going to happen. Especially when you're a noob.

Any "when i first started.." stories to share?

Ahh, I wouldn't worry too much about it. One 2-star rating isn't the worst thing ever. Once you get more 5-star ratings it won't matter whatsoever.

Pretty much daily, right until the first 10 minutes on cam, I'm thinking to myself, "how do I even be sexy? This is absurd. Why do people want to watch me? I'm pretty sure I forgot how to be sexy. I have no clue what I'm doing" and so forth. I know it's me and just my kind of caffeinated-hamster-wheel type of brain, where there's just that little annoying voice running rampant and shouting silly insecurities.

I've cammed since last September, and I still have these little nerves that make me need to obsessively adjust my camera settings, pee like 5 billion times before, and just altogether fidget until I feel everything is just right. (Have a bit of OCD, so that's mainly where it stems from- not feeling comfortable until I've done certain little rituals the right amount of time).

On the other hand, once I hit "start show," sit back, take a sip of water, I'm in Confidence City and I'm the mightiest ruler in all the land. I can flaunt my sexiness like a banner, and I instantly know what to do. So, that gets better. It gets so much easier once you find your groove! Not to say we don't all get mishaps, but you'll start to be able to laugh them off easier.

Hi, Ellie! :hello2: Don't be so hard on yourself. If I was that member, I don't think I could ever give a model a bad rating just because of a honest mistake like that. It's not like you were being a bad model who just sits and stares at the screen. He could've just ended the session, and asked you in free chat if everything's cool now, and if you're willing to try again.

I agree. Use of a rating system may reflect any number of things, but a fluke such as this shouldn't be one of them. The fives will come.

Oops. "...just because of an honest mistake like that."

I had something I was going to say but then I looked at you profile link. All I can think now is 'You're really hot!'

I'll get back to you later on the other thing.

 

[yossarian]

Wow, that's really harsh to give someone a bad rating because of an accident. Most members aren't that douchey and will have a good laugh with you about it.

I've seen new models who were kind of awkward and just figuring things out, and I think if you're honest and have a sense of humor about it, you'll have people help you along and stick by you, because it's endearing and human. Not everybody is there just for the sexytime.

 

[Poker_Babe]

If you start to feel insecure, just do what good old Stuart Smalley does...




LOL really though, don't get too down on yourself. Everyone has "those moments". Just embrace those embarassing moments and laugh at yourself. Guys LOVE self deprecating humor. and shrug off the guys who at like dicks, cause those aren't the kind of guys you want to do shows for anyways. :thumbleft:

 

[Diana Blake]

I think when I first started SM I was asked to shake my butt at someone only to realize that one of the cleansing wipes I use to keep my toys clean between uses was stuck to my ass. I laughed it off and said even inanimate objects want a piece of the action.

Shit happens on cam all the time. But, keeping your cam further away will help with the foot thing. I have mine set up on a chair across from my sex couch. It swivels and rolls so I can change angles easily.

 

[AllisonWilder]

2 years in, I embarrass myself daily. It's all about your reaction. If you make it a big deal, so will everyone else.


2 nights ago I fell off the bed when I was *attempting* to turn around and show off my butt and told everyone after that they better not have screencapped it because I don't want a reputation as 'that girl that falls off her bed when she flashes her ass'. I just laughed about it and someone whisked me to private.


Good luck and welcome to the forums! :hello2:

Keep in mind that MFC ratings mean absolutely nothing.

According to her signature, she's on cammodels, which is Streamate. Streamate ratings DO mean something.

 

[LacieLaPlante]

My first time on streamate, I didn't realize that a private had started until it was already over. 3 minutes of me just thinking it was normal chat.

 

[KyraJune]

im a very clumsy person and almost all the time i have this moments when i about to fell of the chair or i trip myself when im danceing i say " oops model down " i laugh and continue my members know im silly and crazy and i always do silly faces and suff on cam so doesnt really bother me

Even if you are just there for the sexytimes if you can't laugh about little accidents that happen while in the middle of it, you're doing it wrong. :thumbleft:

Basically what everyone else has said. If you fuck up, laugh about it. Harder for anyone else to screw with you if they realize you didn't take it too seriously & good luck to you!

 

[AmeliaArcana]

I'm not gonna say what I did but I will say that the few regulars I have are the result of me embarrassing the crap out of myself on MFC!

 

[PunkInDrublic]

Model was pulling out balls and the string snapped right before the last one. "Can you please come back in a minute"? Waited while she went and did what she needed to do and enjoyed a good laugh and show afterwards.

Thank you so much everyone for your comments! They really helped a lot :hello2:

I try to be myself on camera. I've decided not to be so anxious about what they think of me. Just like regular dating! If he doesnt like me for me, his money's no good here! :snooty:

I'll keep practicing that whole... grace...and .....poise...thing... BUT! for meow, I think i'll just be my clumsy self and hope that theres a guy out there that has a fetish for laughing while he cums haha

Thanks again guys! Keep the stories coming!
xoxo Ellie

You will find your thing. It took me forever to realize that what works for me is wearing tshirts and talking about whatever the guys want to talk about. I don't try to direct the convo too much, and I don't press too much for privates, and I don't sit there trying to be all sexy, because that just didn't work for me. You'll just find the groove that works for you.

It's like clockwork now. My little brain analyzes my lighting and camera angles all the time, I know right where to move my camera and lighting for my ass closeups... LOL! My whole show is much more calculated than anyone notices because I have just learned this stuff through trial and error.

All that being said, it's kind of a running thing with me and my guys... that I'm a huge clumsy dork. If I'm drinking soda and a certain someone is in my room he'll remind me that I'm not allowed to have soda in the carpeted rooms, LOL! It's my own joke. TWICE during privates with him, I've put my feet up on the desk and knocked cream soda ALL OVER THE PLACE! u,u And it's happened more than twice in public chat. Oh, and once during a GOLD show... They're always hearing/seeing me knocking shit over... x_x

What I'm trying to say is whatever your flaws are, just roll with them. Don't sweat the one guy who might have never come back again any way... Just keep truckin'. The next guy doesn't even know about that slip-up, haha!

Plus, I *still* occasionally have days where I get like 2 5-star ratings, 1 1-star, and a 4-star. I don't check my ratings any more until the end of the day, because it's too much of a self-esteem killer.

 

[LiLredhairedgrl]

I stood on my chair when I was kind of dancing and showing off for my room and what did I do? I hit my head on the ceiling fan....and yes it was on.

 

[PearlSparkles]

on my first day...i was trying to set up the encoder and went on the main site and try to see what I looked like and I didnteven know thatduring the first 3 minutes online, I was in pvt and guy left me 1 star rating. Of course I've gottenit removed since then but it was crazy....

X_X LOL! I've done this!!! I've been in privates without realizing it because another window was over where my private window is and I didn't hear the private sound over my music. X_X Ughghghghg.

 

[LadyLuna]

I won't go into details. I'll just say...

cherry kool-aide ended up all over everything and stained the carpet pink. x.x luckily, it didn't break my computer.

 

[JoleneBrody]

I've been camming for three years, in September... would consider myself successful and still wonder how the fuck ANYONE masturbates to my weird ass awkward self!

Ummmm...do you REALLY want me to answer this? Because I would take one for the team, and do it!

I set my carpet on fire on cam. BADLY too - not a little fire, a big fire that could have burned my whole house down.

a tip noise saved me, i was walking out of the room to pee, tip noise went off and i turned to see what it was, and there was my carpet on fire.

I've also about concussed myself during a strap on show. I fell and hit my head on a tv stand, blood everywhere.. Fridays_Child thought she'd killed me with her strap on....

At least you put on a unique show! :lol:

 

[Annvious]

There have been times where I smoke/drink a little to much on camera but I'm already more than halfway through a countdown so I tough it out. I say some of the dumbest, slurred things ever and it's so embarrassing- they seem to like it though.

Last week when I was on camera I kept fucking up my words every time I tried to talk, and I wasn't even messed up! I just turned it in to a tongue twister game and started saying "good blood, bad blood" over and over.

 

[Misono]

I was in a private show with someone a few months ago now, and her hitachi caught fire mid show. We laugh now, but the reaction she had at the time was quite extreme, disappearing from MFC completely for a while

Well, isn't that just scary as hell. D:
I'm so, so glad my Hitachi simply stopped working after two times of using it, instead of catching fire. (I was using a wrong outlet for it.)
