Introspective: what made you cam?

[pennybabyblue]

Hi beautiful cam models,

I'm Penny, a former now (sad face) cam model who worked for 2 years in the industry. I stopped for a few reasons, but my time as a cam model was wonderful, explorative, lucrative, and damn fun. So I have zero judgement or shame for what I did.

I'm wondering, as I look back at the past 2 years, why you all decided to get into camming. I'm not talking the surface level reasons: money, freedom, etc. I mean those are legit and its partially why I did it... but sort of the deeper reason. Because camming honestly boosted my confidence in a lot of ways. It made me feel seen, appreciated, successful, loved, at a time where nothing seemed to be sticking, nothing made me money, my confidence was low and no one could see me.

I'd love to know, if you don't mind sharing, why you started camming. What brought you into it. And what you gained from it. Maybe even you can share the challenges you faced while doing it. For me, I was at an all time high in my bank account, I felt so pretty, loved, but I didn't like living a secret life (again- zero judgements from me... I still have my OF account haha).

I'd love to hear your thoughts, stories, all of the above. It'll help me I think understand the journey I went through as well, and maybe some other models here.

Thanks, all.

For me, I have always been exhibitionist, due to covid, I lost my job and in my country, you get nothing.
I started with the advice of a friend who could help me with all the technical issues.
It is now more than one year, and I earn now five times the salary I could get in my previous job.
Meanwhile, I have been able to help my family who had to close their restaurant due to the pandemy (opened again now)
My goal is now to get as much as I can to buy an apartment.
I also buy regulary gold as I use to spend too much when I get money.
For the moment I am quite happy with my job, use to work 6 days a week for 6 hours.
When I was working as receptionist in a hotel, I had to work 6 days a week for 8 hours with only 10 days of annual leave.
I can organize my time and takes leaves when I want.

So I'm full on balls deep in porn now, have been since 2014, and webcamming was the catalyst to that.

I started webcamming on MFC in 2011-2012ish (i forget lol) but basically it was because I had just gotten laid off from my grown up desk job that I had gone to college for. I was devastated because I had done all the shit I was supposed to do (go to school, graduate, get a good job) and that path failed. BUT. I was also, low key, happy. Because I fucking HATED the office life. H A T E D. Like, to wear conservative outfits and sit behind a desk all day for 8 hours, 40 hours a week...it was SO mundane and I could never understand how people did this forever. It's not WRONG. It was just wrong for me. I'm just not wired that way.

I've always been extremely independent, resourceful and a leader, and comfortable with sexuality. Like, I never understood why people got so bent out of shape over porn and women's sexuality in general. I also had a bit of a wild streak in me, still do.

So, a friend mentioned webcamming to me in passing (he was just like OMG these girls make bank just sitting in their underwear at home all day) and in MY head a lightbulb went off. I signed up for MFC and the rest was history. For me, webcam really helped me find myself. It helped me understand that sexuality is so so natural. It helped me get comfortable and confident in my own skin. I mean, how more vulnerable can you get when you're naked online every day??

It helped me further solidify the fact that society's weird ass stigma around sex (here in the US anyways) is fucking stupid and most of it is hypocritical too because everyone watches porn.

It helped me discover myself...my TRUE self...after spending my entire life as a people pleaser, getting good grades, doing all the extracurriculars, etc...basically doing life as OTHER people wanted me to, which is also no wonder why I felt dead inside that entire time!

It made me feel alive. It made me feel empowered. I mean, I was making more in a day than I did in a week at my desk job. It was like I was in on some secret that yes, you CAN create a really cool life for yourself without following the traditional "rules" of society.

It also made me realize that there are a LOT of people out there running around that fucking hate their jobs and just DO it. So it made me appreicate that I was brave enough to pursue and succeed in something so far outside the box. AKA, just because something is widely accepted as "what you do" by a large group of people doesnt mean it's THE truth, or THE only way to be, if that makes sense.

Webcam made me realize how powerful women are and TBH I would be afraid of who I would be now (likely a shell of a human still sitting in an office hating life) had I not done it.
