Thought this might be a bit of fun.

What have you learnt from models and camming?
 
There are many things, but for myself will start with keeping up with music, fashion, and especially computing trends. You have all introduced me to some awesome things.

I have also learnt that beauty on the outside can be a lovely match to internal beauty. I am less intimidated by very beautiful women. This would be my number one thing I've learnt.

Have learnt much about myself, mostly that I am as weird, unusual, and creepy as I thought I was.
 
I really like the concept of this thread, thanks for opening it up, Troll. =)

Personally, camming has exposed me to a LOT of aspects of sexuality that I'm not sure I would ever have encountered in my outside life. My sex life has been incredibly vanilla and depressingly limited in my pre-cam life; camming has allowed me to slowly ease into experimenting with my sexual identity both through observational and "hands-on" (horrible pun intended) perspectives. It really has taught me so much about who I am as a sexual being and I continue to learn more and more every day. Even more than that, it has taught me to be comfortable with my sexual identity/self and given me the confidence to express it in the "real world" rather than have it be some sort of shameful, hidden, unspoken thing.

Two years ago, I never would have even considered myself the kind of person who would spank someone... let alone be approached by stunningly gorgeous women to be spanked by *my* hand in the Hugh Hefner suite in Vegas... :oops:

In addition to this, camming has taught me a lot about sexuality and lifestyles of others that I would not have met otherwise. I get a lot of people from all different backgrounds (sexual/gender/race/religion/fetish/etc.); the exchanges and discussions I have had with my room/regulars have been enlightening and enriching, to say the least.


On a less sexual level, I have been introduced to all kinds of music, movies and games that I may never have encountered outside of room suggestions. I have met amazing individuals that I am honored to call my friends and peers through my room, as a room patron on MFC and (of course, most of all) on ACF.

It's been a hell of a journey and I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for me!
 
Well, first & foremost, it pulled me out of the stereotypical view of sex work that I had carried for most of my 50 years on this rock. These days, I don't consider it to be any more "degrading" or "demeaning" than working any other job. Hell, I'm actually a bit jealous of it, not for the whole "getting paid to have orgasms" thing, but for the fact that I see so much creativity out there being exercised as part of the profession. Most of MY jobs have been of the "go to work, do the same damn thing every day, and DON'T venture any opinions or try to improve anything. Just keep doing the SAME EXACT THING, drone." variety.

Secondly, I had some REALLY sideways ideas about some varieties of kink. Blame that on only being exposed to the subject via the mass media's twisted views of such things. I used to be pretty creeped out by things such as BDSM, especially when I'd find certain aspects of it arousing. I now understand what a difference is made by the addition of "mutual respect & trust" to the mix. It's not "one person being abused by another" if it's being done RIGHT.

Another thing I've learned is that professional cam models have WAY more guts & patience than I ever will. The uncertainties you all face, ranging from "What if next month is a slow month for tips?" to various holier-than-thou types getting into a position of power & passing laws that would make your job MORE difficult if not impossible, the problems you could face if the wrong person or persons found out what you do, society's general stick-up-the-ass about matters sexual... I'd have a perpetual migraine.
 
thx DeezNA, did want to post about the sex part, but oddly enough learnt little from camming, just too old, learnt about sex way too young, and into porn before I started with camming I guess. SCH and Financial domination was new but not very surprising.
I guess more models than expected were into the rougher side of sex (dominant or submissive) than expected but in years of camming can't remember being shocked once. I learnt to set sex aside more and enjoy in my camming experiences I guess.

On the negative side of things, I did learn that you can destroy your sexuality with fantasy, that was an odd and unusually liberating feeling. Sexuality is so very psychological.
I also learned not to use old lubricant, never do that.... always check it is ok first. Heamatospermia is scary, guess would be fun for halloween though :lol:


ThunderW., you are talking of some models as inspiration? I suspect many of us will be singing the same song. Many models in particular may think this is some kind of delusion on a member's part... too few see it in themselves sadly.
 
That camming isn't as easy as it looks, yo. I think the first few times I watched cams, I was pretty quick to conclude "man, they're just sitting there looking pretty and people are throwing money at them. Madness". But through getting to know a few models a little, and in reading posts and threads on this forum, and just in observing things in camland, I've come to appreciate that camming isn't the easy job it might appear to be initially. The off-cam hours, the creativity, the branding, the planning, the networking, the creation of content, the maintaining of a particular aesthetic, the putting on a smile and trying to stay positive while deflecting the cruel and spiteful shit that people say for fun and not let on that things might be emotionally draining because that's not sexy and models are paid to be sexy... that shit adds up (I have to assume) and while camming has many perks, it being an easy job that you can half-ass and expect to make money in isn't one of them.
