I'm curious as to how many of the models who frequent this board have also worked (or are currently working) in any other "adult" occupations, such as escorting, dancing, etc. If not, would you ever consider such work? If you have done so, but no longer do, what was your reason for quitting? And does past or current experience in other erotic professions yield any help or advantage in working as a cam girl?

Well, in the Internet age, anyone can be their own producer and entrepeneur, with many sites such as Clips4Sale, etc. The way to "get into it," it seems to me, is to "just do it." Homegrown, self-produced porn is one of the hottest things on the Internet. A decent cam, simple editing software, some ideas and enthusiasm, and presto -- you have "gotten into it." ;)

Don't forget a person to actually shoot the scenes... Static cams are never in the right place when u need them to get the good shot. And IMO, 'boner cams' held by the guy while he's fucking aren't worth watching most of the time.
 
Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

I would do "real" porn, but I wouldnt want to have to move to California, and do a bunch of shitty stuff before I got with a good studio. And I wouldnt want to risk getting stranded out there/ exploited if I didn't "make it".

Id probably do escorting if I could get with one of those high-end-selective-about-their-clients agencies, or like the Bunny Ranch or something lol. But again, I wouldn't want all the bullshit that could happen if I ended up with the wrong organization. I also really like where I live, and wouldn't want to have to move away.

Everything would have to be under very specific conditions, and those conditions are unlikely to happen.

PS: this post is NOT an invitation for some asshat to start messaging me like "ooh i help u get started bb, taking auditions" :roll: :roll:
 
Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

I work online. I do clips4sale and such, but I'm not willing to break the internet barrier. My reasons are some that many people would scoff at and think are not even real, but they are very real, and the less a person believes in it the more susceptible they are to it.

If I didn't have this thing which prevents it, I honestly don't know what I would be willing to do. Not sex with random people. That I know has always been a line with me, not completely connected to my issue. Exotic dancing appeals, as does escorting without "happy endings". Profession Domme seems like it could be fun, as long as there's no penetration of me happening.

If you believe in paranormal and are curious what my issue with it is, please PM me to avoid hijacking this thread.

I have watched that bunny ranch show on HBO, and most of them just look like average women. You, like most successful models, look above average. You would probably make more doing actual escorting for rich dudes who need dates to things.

Well thank you :)
Again, its a matter of getting my foot in the door in the right places, but where I live the only sex industry is all street prostitution for meth and pimps :( If I ever move though :p

I've known a couple of girls who did some escort work, and they both agreed that for many of their clients, any sexual activity was almost incidental, and that it was much more about companionship and self-esteem. If you have a pleasant and empathetic personality, and can genuinely make a client feel special and appreciated, you can do very well in the business.

Thought this said, "rich dudes who need to date things."

Hilarious.

I considered stripping, but I'm too short. Those giant stripper shoes would make me normal size! Or maybe that would be a bonus as I could walk around without towering over guys.

If I ever really had to get another job I'd try waitressing at a titty bar or something and maybe upgrade to dancing if I ever got the skills.

I would do non-sex escorting (I'd do sex escorting but I absolutely HATE fucking random dudes. Grossss o_O) but I look very young and it has always been my impression that gentlemen prefer to spend time with mature lovely ladies, not children.

Exactly ... I had the night shift from a local strip club come to my restaurant after they got off to relax and grab a few drinks and something to eat. Their height ranged from 4'11" to about 6' [without the shoes] :D They all did well and some of the shorter gals said the guys actually preferred their diminutive size....

Might be slightly hijacking this thread, but I've always been curious as to how one breaks in to dancing? I mean like do you just get the really crappy shifts until you learn how to pole dance or what?

Doesn't matter if you know how to dance, how tall you are, how big your boobs are, etc. You just have to be a half decent looking girl with the desire to give lap dances for money.

I can totally give lapdances! Yeah! Now I have a fallback plan if this camming thing falls through ;)

Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

Fetish modeling (IRL and in print), dominatrix, pro-sub, amateur stripping, go-go dancing. I've also bartended, DJ'd and waitressed adult events. :)

Edited to add: Pro domme and pro sub were mostly for demonstration purposes - I was scene'ing with another professional (sub or dom, depending on which role I was in) at fetish parties for the voyeuristic pleasure of the audience. I don't like doing anything where people will touch me, thus I am unlikely to ever pro-sub (at a dungeon) or strip anywhere where I'll have to do lap dances, lol. I will, however, probably domme again in the future. I enjoy it, I don't have to be touched unless I desire it and sub men are very often the nicest and most respectful clients I ever have, on or offline.

The "no touchy touchy" is a boundaries thing and carries over into my non-adult life as well. The only people I regularly let touch me (anything from a handshake to a hug to a dick in the butt, lol) are my closest friends and my partner, and people with whom I initiate contact. :) I do model with other women from time to time, but obviously that's all negotiated beforehand!
 
Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

Camming and Clips4Sale store
 
Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

I used to dance at the local strip club many years ago. I didn't go back to it mostly due to the fact that my (late) husband and I got back together after a four year separation. He was THE JEALOUS TYPE!!!

And does past or current experience in other erotic professions yield any help or advantage in working as a cam girl?
It's an advantage. It gave me experience in the art of sexiness, entertainment, and being naked in front of an audience. :thumbleft:

Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

I used to be a stripper. I quit because I got sick of drunk guys thinking they were entitled to touching my tits. I had some good times; I miss the atmosphere of working in a club. There's nothing that makes one feel more like a rockstar when you're on stage, mohawk spiked, rum and coke in one hand, dancing to the Dresden Dolls "My Alcoholic Friends" as a rack full of men throw dollar bills at you. Ahh.....lol. But overall I enjoy camming more, because you can set your own rules and be more creative.
 
Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

Stripping wouldn't really work for me, I'm not comfortable around large numbers of drunk people.
As for escorting, although I'm not morally opposed, I really don't think anyone would willing to spend the amount it would take to get me into bed. In my experience the only guys who actually offer amounts that large are just scamming to get more attention on MFC. I just bluntly tell them there's no way in hell they could afford it, and if they even want to continue the conversation without being banned that will be 5,000 tokens. They usually leave after that :lol:

Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

I used to work in a shop that sold porn if that counts :?
There's something profoundly unpleasant about taking back a DVD that someone has bought, open, touched, "used" and brought back. Whenever we took a DVD back, we always had to inspect the disc to make sure it was in sellable condition. Sometimes, there'd be... curious marks on the disc *shudder*
I also once had an elderly lady (she must have been closing in on 70, I shit you not) purchase around £200 worth of porn in one transaction :?

What does gogo dancing entail exactly? I would totally bartend and waitress at adult events, any good way of finding those types of jobs? I know we're from the same area ;)

According to the Wiki, it's a form of performance art dancing with costumes/accessories. I'm uncertain if it requires nudity and such though.

Gogo dancers usually act as a prop/background act at a larger event/concert/nightclub rather than being their own stage show. Although there are gogo dancing shows and competitions. I think its often tied into goth-industrial and raver cultures as well.

Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

I have.

I've worked as a Pro-Domme/Switch (non-sexual -- meaning that I didn't offer any form of penetration or traditional sexual services) out of a dungeon, and also briefly as a Phone Sex Operator. I considered working as a dancer, but I feared that I wasn't 'mainstream enough' or girly enough or graceful enough, lol. I did these things while I was on a working holiday visa on the other side of the world, though.

Would I consider doing them again? Absolutely, if there was a market for them and a way to do them safely. There's really no market for any of those things where I live now, though, so it's not really an option anyway.

Would I do porn or escort? Honestly, I don't know. While I don't think that any of what I do now is all that different (it's all sex work, afterall), there are certain things that scare me or seem to cross some kind of line in my head. If I did do porn, I think that I would limit myself to things like Kink.com. Watching mainstream porn doesn't do anything for me, so I can't imagine that participating in it would either, lol.

As for escorting, well, I fear that I would be too much of a fickle bastard for that to work out well. I'm too stubborn to do much of anything (let alone anyone :p) that I don't want to do, and I'm definitely not interested in one-offs (client or not, good sex takes time, and I'm not a fan of bad sex). I would happily attend interesting events with gentlemen requiring dates (again, if safety was not a concern), but I don't think that I'd be interested in full service work unless I genuinely liked the client(s) and we worked out some kind of arrangement. And even then I'd only want to see one or two people.

In short, I highly doubt escorting is in my future, but I'd love to do more Pro-Domme work or maybe even give dancing a try at some point.
 
Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

ive thought of dancing but im chubbyish and i dont think id get hired. besides im not so good in heels or with real life social interaction
 
Re: Any of you that have worked in other "adult" occupations

I've never done anything outside of camming and videos through MFC but every time I go to a strip club and have a few beers, I get such an overwhelming urge to get up there and shake it!
