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...
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!
