Oh. My. Goodness. Are you people for real? Creating drama out of my own personal opinion, which everyone is entitled to?
Against my better judgement, I'm gonna respond to you all since you all insist on side-tracking this thread.

Her body should belong to her and her alone.
No, her body does not belong to her alone if she is in a committed relationship.
It belongs to the significant other as well.
A few examples. If you are not in a committed relationship, you can sleep with whoever you want.
But once you are in a commited relationship, you cannot do that anymore. You cannot sleep with other people. It is inappropriate to cheat. You body is not your own anymore and it belongs to that other person.
Stripping on cam and sleeping with someone else are 2 different things, but the principle is the same. Once you are in an relationship, you cannot just do whatever you want. Your body being your own doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want. It does not mean you can cheat.
Some relationships are open and both partners don't mind if they sleep around. Some relationships however are not like that, and they want to be exclusive to each other.
I am merely translating the latter into stripping. Some partners don't like it if her girlfriend strips for other people or her boyfriend looks at nude women other than herself.
No one here is wrong. It's called, an opinion. Different viewpoint. Different people think differently. I never imposed my viewpoints on other people. If some people can't handle an opposing viewpoint without flying into a rage, please don't bother responding.

Like Shaun_ said, this is not a dating site. Camsites and porn are about fantasy, not reality, and a good percentage of camgirls are taken with supportive significant others. You have the right to your own opinion, but you do not have the right to tell two happy people that their relationship is wrong.
And yes, I'm taken. (By a woman! -gasp!- Who I've been in love with for 5 years now who also cams with me! But didn't care when I cammed alone!)
I'm happy for you.
But it being a dating site does not change anything. Are you telling that all the women in the world think like you and don't mind if their significant other watches other nude women? Some of them already do not like it if their partner watches beauty pageants.
Just because a good percentage of camgirls have supportive significant others doesn't mean that everyone single camgirl should think like you.
If you think me expressing my opinion means I'm telling people what to do (amazing skill in jumping to conclusions), then you expressing your opinion means that you are implying that any woman who gets jealous of her partner checking someone out is wrong, and it is pretty arrogant to suggest that only your viewpoint is right, by using a small sample size of internet cam girls, who already make up a small percentage of women in the world.
See what I did there?

Just because YOU don't believe in it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's extremely childish thinking, "You can't see me, so I am invisible!"
I may have lost a few brain cells reading this, but did I say do not think open relationships exist? I do.
When I say I don't believe in them, it means I do not believe it is how relationships to be.
You know? An opinion. A different viewpoint. The same opinion and viewpoint that the majority of relationships are based on. Closed relationships. We're not telling people that they should follow us. We're saying we don't believe in it, that's why our relationships won't be open.

That's so absolutely completely twisted from what I said. Also, you should note that you responded to a PREGNANT cam girl who is an open relationship with her life partner. I really want to stick my tongue out at you and blow a big raspberry right now.
To clarify my last post, I believe that starting an emotional relationship when you are already thoroughly invested in one is wrong. If you aren't in an open relationship or your partner isn't ok with external emotional involvement, then that's wrong. As an adult, if you really feel the need to be with someone else then you should be adult enough to leave the person you're with for said new person. If you can't be adult enough to leave your relationship and would rather break the confines agreed upon in your existing relationship, that is immature and low. I feel very strongly that that type of behavior is wrong.
Congratulations on your baby, but I'm not sure how it has anything to do with my viewpoint or the thread topic. But I'll be nicer because I do not want to aggravate an expecting mother.
I did not twist your viewpoint. I said I would go further than you and have a more, for lack of better term, extreme viewpoint than you. I did not say your viewpoint is the same as mine.

I would question my partners sexual preference if he didn't look....jus sayin.
So if a man does not want to look at any other women other than his partner, it means that he could be gay? Really? We still think in this way in 2012?
The fact that maybe he is a very loyal man who does not want to make his woman jealous is not even a remote possibility in your mind?

On the "camgirls shouldn't be in a relationship." Well fuck, I'm doing this completely wrong, since it was my partner who suggested this to me O.O I mean, without this relationship, I would never in a million years have found the camgirl profession, let alone even considered doing it. Oh how glad I am for my partner!
Some camgirls indeed will stop doing this once they are in a relationship, because they have different morals. I cannot give examples, but it is safe to assume that all camgirls being ok showing their bodies despite being in relationships is not the universal truth.
Some have partners who don't mind, some have partners who do mind, some camgirls are ok with showing their bodies despite being in a relationship, some camgirls are not ok and will quit. And then you have the ones in between.
You do what you think is best. But nowhere did I suggest that all models who have relationships should be banned and never be camgirls or something. I just expressed my opinion that it is inappropriate, and if you think it is nothing inappropriate, no problem.

As you all can see, I actually love a good challenge and can argue to death. But this will be the last time I will defend my viewpoint because I just wasted a lot of time typing this when I could be checking out camgirls. This will be one of those endless arguments that people will spend hours and hours arguing and in the end, accomplish absolutely nothing. It is not constructive. There is no point arguing over viewpoints, because everyone is different and they will have different ones. In the end, you will not change either side's mind.
Some of you will of course want to get the last word in, and you are more than welcome to do so. But please do not confuse my silence after this to mean that I am wrong and you are right. It just means I am no longer interested in this pointless argument and I do not want to derail this thread anymore, and you can see it is a waste of time. You do what you think is best, I'll do what I think is best. We'll just agree to disagree.
Apologies for the really long post. Congratulations if you have managed to read it till the end. Have a good day.
