My advice to anyone considering camming would be this: Consider your life so far and ask yourself how do you cope with objectification and harassment? How do you respond to abuse? Personally I was objectified and abused long before I ever entered the cam world so sometimes it's annoying if someone means and I might bite back/report them/or ban them. But there are some things like your content being pirated that might really upset some people. Not all the sites remove the content despite DMCA takedowns and all. What I had to learn is I genuinely don't care who wants to watch me/bang me OR judge me when they're in the mood to "perv out!" as one of my lesbian friends from the site put it haha The dark side of mean customer's would bother me more-- maybe if I valued them and their bs. But now more than ever: I only like people who are nice to me. I only focus on the positive. And for anyone who doesn't like it or judges us girls for acting sexual? Who even cares. Everyone came from sex. Most people will go on and have sex. It's actually thanks to camming I learned about the Coolidge Effect and how males get tired of being exposed to the same female even in regular romantic relationships. Camlife has helped me become even more scientific. Possibly more asexual/celibate in real life-- I even learned celibates live longer and that's what I technically am at the moment. So yeah, I'm an odd one to be in the cam industry. I don't feel like explaining how it happened exactly. But after a while I chose what I do and make the most of it when I can. There can totally be bad moments. Bullies- but I'd never wanna be them. Scammers- I report them. Some guys wanting to act all superior and violent- when that's just lame and weak quite frankly. F what any of the jerks say or do. The overwhelming majority of the guys have been nice. Out of the 600 plus friends I made? I only had to ban like 5 people. That's really pretty good when you do the math. So it's NOT all bad. Some people are nicer than others, and some days are luckier than others. I don't know how long I'll end up doing it personally, but it significantly helped me in reevaluating my feelings about romance. It's helped to learn that males get erections around the clock. Research says they all watch porn. What difference does it make if I wanna see how I can do in this line of work while I'm still young enough? For any abuse there's been it's Nothing compared to real life abuse I experienced years ago. Truly-- the saddest part of camming is just growing attached to someone who breaks your heart. I had an athlete friend on here who always acted so nice but he just wanted to use me for free content after always pushing to hang out as friends. I'd say it's probably best to never be in-real-life friends with any internet connections because of the stigma and associated problems. People may just use you, abuse you, and then not care because you're a camgirl. I had figured that going in, but my one ex friend's broken promises and betrayal still depressed me for a while. I'm doing better now though. After he'd tried controlling me and saying don't get too wild it was another friend from the site who comforted me saying you can do whatever you want. I've been hurt at times but still grown emotionally because of this experience. It's been a very important year of my life that I will never forget
