Talking about families

[CharlieCharma]

I thought about posting this in the models only section but was interested in the view of it from the customers' side as well. I think it's a little strange to completely keep the fact that I have a family out of the public eye, but also won't go into detail about too much about them to most customers. I actually got a tattoo covered up a year and a half ago because I got tired of guys asking me about my kid when I was stripping, but I'll still mention that I'm a mom when it's relevant to the conversation. There have been maybe three customers while stripping and camming that I'm comfortable enough with to mention more than the vaguest of vague shit to, but I definitely don't try to hide it.

What do you think? How much information is too much to you or freaks you out? Just the thought of a girl being a mom freak you out or do you like hearing about vague updates or relevant insights? Models, how comfortable are you sharing that part of your life? Do you think it's strange when you see other model's sharing or hiding it?

In my opinion, I think how much you share is completely up to you and the only time I have been actually weirded out is when children's pics get posted on Twitter/Tumblr. While most customers are awesome people, I don't trust that they all are. 1 out 1000 is enough for me to stay vague.

I mention my siblings and talk about my parents in general. Nothing identifying but if something funny or stressful happens. I think they enjoy hearing about it because a lot of them can relate or help guide me in dealing with whatever issue.

one of my tags is MILF so there's that and I've been accused of lying about that so- whatevs


people on the interwebs I dont know don't need to know my personal life and certainly don't need to know about my family- regardless of what site I'm on.

Honestly, I am such a private person that talking about any friends or family on the interwebs is very difficult for me. I can't even talk about cousins I haven't seen in years and years - so the idea of sharing anything more than that would definitely make me uncomfortable. But like I said, that's because I'm a super private person. However, I know of several models who definitely have more of a community-vibe in their rooms, and I've seen them be pretty open about their children. Never posting pictures, but sharing little family stories about day-to-day activities. It seems to work well for them, and I kind of envy their ability to be so open, while also having a group of regulars who make it possible. They all enjoy hearing stories about the kidlings and it helps to promote that community feeling of all of the regulars being a part of a really big friendship family. But you're right - there are a lot of creeps out there, and in our line of work, we get more than our fair share of them.

Honestly, the only person in my life that I regularly talk about on the interwebs is my cat Goku. Everyone else, I kinda keep to myself. I can definitely see how family talk can make it easier to relate to, promoting tighter bonds by sharing glimpses of a model's Real Life. But I'm such an intensely private person about my real world life that I can't fathom sharing more than I do. I mean, I'd love to trust the world enough to be able to do that. But especially being in the Kinky corner of the adult industry, where it is much less community based and all about fetishes, I definitely don't feel comfortable sharing that kind of stuff.

From a "Member" side of things. There is a part of cam that is fantasy. I know the lines are blurried but it still is fantasy. I do not believe that every women I tip wants to have insane sexxy with me, but I enjoy the fantasy, I know I am odd that way.

So too much info about your real world takes away from the fantasy. Yet the real side of camming kind of makes the real stuff interesting.

All I know is this. One of my all time favorite gals that I loved to cam with, I got to know really well. We chat often about our real worlds. I have not cammed with her for years. IT is just weird to do so now. She is as hott as other but the MILF I loved to play with has three kids and I have chatted with her husband. So now it is weird to play on cam. We went too far to the real side in some ways. I do some web work for her and I still get to see some of her videos.

I know that may be confusing.

There is a huge market for MILFs. I started getting labeled a MILF this past year despite being in my mid-20s and very sterile. (Cough, glasses and raspy voice.. cough.) I wouldn't discuss your kids, but work that MILF tag.

All my milf stuff sells ridiculously well. So mention you are a mom, but I wouldn't go into any detail because detail kills the fantasy. They don't want to hear the nitty gritty about your kids, they want the fantasy.

I am unable to market myself as a milf at this time in my life. I look early twenties, market myself as a bratty, party domme, and have star wars bedsheets. Lol. But I agree with what you're saying. I say I'm a mom, but all specifics about my kid will NEVER EVER be touched on with members.

Oh my gosh! That is AWESOME! I've never met another Goku-kitty, so now I am smiling so hard! Yay for super-Saiyan furry family!
