How do I handle customer relations?

[PixieLina]

So, I've been camming since july this year and one of the thigs that bother me a lot is how to maintain balanced relatioships with your customers. I'm a friendly person and I really love the social part of camming and all the friends you get. Almost too much cause i end up caring too much about some customers and when that happens the sexual part always present starts to bother me and i find myself wanting to set up some boundaries. I also worry I'm being way to (girl)friendly and don't want to hurt them.

Anyone else having this issue or just having some advice?

Thanks

Boundaries are important for camming. I suggest you do make some if you are finding yourself getting uncomfortable.

It's imperative that you think about (thoroughly) and establish your boundaries ahead of time. Write them down in a notebook and review them before you cam/perform/interact with fans if you need to. Additionally, one of the most respectful things you can do for your fans is to be up-front about your boundaries from the get-go - this protects your well-being and privacy while eliminating the potential of a misunderstanding.

Some examples: I'm married and very committed to my wife. One of my HARD boundaries is that I don't discuss her sexually or talk about her personal life. I establish this early on with my viewers.

Additionally, I don't 'sub'. Just not my thing, and no amount of money will convince me to do it. I always give a disclaimer to those with whom I do pvt shows so as to avoid disappointment/confusion.

Boundaries are SO important. As models, we have to remember to take care to maintain our mental fortitude and endurance. This means establishing with yourself what kinds of things are NOT okay for you, or would detriment you psychologically. You don't owe an explanation - simply put a disclaimer in your emails, bios, etc that states "I don't do X, Y, or Z."

Always best to be up-front than to have to do it after the fact.
