Hi, I occasionally enjoy transactional fantasy entertainment (sometimes erotic fantasy, but not always), and that is why I have been a paying customer of live cam performers on MFC for almost 10 years. Rarely other sites.
I have tons of respect for the amazing human beings who perform on live cams (I could never!) and in a number of cases I also respect their business sense and hard work, so I try to be generous as a way to show that respect.
Unfortunately, in a few cases, generosity has resulted in the performer blurring the fantasy and using socially or emotionally-charged methods to secure me as a repeat or "regular" customer...
...and then I read threads here and reminded myself that it is all transactional, it's first and foremost a business for them, while it's entertainment for me. I should expect occasional emotion-based hustling—for those who do this, it probably works often enough, so to some extent I can even respect their hustle. When the interaction stops being fun, it's best for me to step away, as politely as possible.
Anyway, I like to think we can all be decent human beings to each other in this environment as much as any other kind of business transaction. Getting the right perspective helps, so I'm happy this forum exists.
