Please forgive this newb if this has already been asked (looked and didn't see it anywhere), but what made you ladies decide to start camming? Extra money? Exhibitionist? Boredom? For whatever reason, this perv is glad you did!

I'm an attention whore. :lol: And an insomniac, so I have a lot of time to spend sitting in front of a computer screen sometimes. And with my university classes destroying every job offer I get, this definitely helps me to be a little less of a 'starving artist'.
I'm also really cute and awesome. :x
I'm also really cute and awesome. :x
I first starting taking pictures and stuff about 7 years ago, coz I hated my tiny tits and wanted a boob job, I found a community on livejournal especially for people with small tits/people who liked them. From posting there I realised I loved the attention, it was a huuuge confidence and gradually it made me like my body more. 
Then I started doing videos about a year later, and then I decided I wanted a computer in my own room at my parents. Before it was in a room in my parents house where people kept walking past, so I couldn't really do as much as I wanted to online and kept having to close screens really quickly when people came in lol! So I stayed at my then boyfriends for a week and did MSN cam shows with payment by paypal and advertised on faceparty chat(those were the good old days haha), ended up making enough for a computer in a few days!
So then I got my own computer and joined adultwork in december 2005 and started doing it for money, although then it was just for fun with the bonus or being paid coz I didn't really need the money for anything.
I haven't really answered the bloody question have I, I've gone way off track lol.
My answer: Coz I needed money for a computer.
But now I do it as a job, but also coz I like the attention and it's still a good confidence boost.

I started nude modeling for money, mostly artistic nudes because I have an athletic figure...
Then I started getting all of these offers for porn, and I started to ask myself if I would be ok with that... I decided I wouldn't but only because they make SO MUCH MONEY and you get a tiny cut.. so I said why not cam?!
Pretty easy decision

Well. I was really interested in being a stripper, because of the money and also because I just love being sexy and putting on shows for people. I have always been a complete exhibitionist, I love making people happy, connecting with people and I love being the centre of attention. (I'm a leo and an only child. Go figure)
But stripping seemed kind of scary, and also I was convinced I didn't have a 'good enough' body, so I never did, but I lurked on several online forums where people in the adult industry talked about camming, phone sex and stripping. THEN i found mfc, and spent a good six months or so, lurking in the rooms in a transfixed, wistful way staring at all the beautiful ladies. However my boyfriend of the time was dead against me doing any adult work of any kind, so I didn't set up a profile even though I was itching to because it just looked so much FUN.
Then we broke up. And I was like YES!!!! *punches air and sets up MFC account* :lol:

I was already hanging out with people and doing dirty things online for free and I loved it. One of my friends pointed out I could get paid for it here, and here I am.
I was part of a forum with crazy chicks who wanted to post newdies of themselves. I loved doing it for attention and just to DO IT, and when they had opened up a camming area I jumped onto it.
It failed, but I enjoyed it so much that I went swimming around for another camsite to join.
AND here I be.
I still frequent that site, but don't really post newds anymore, because its hard to get people to buy them if they could just go over there for a quick-look see.

I started off in legit modeling but disliked the starvation aspect of it, and would always get pulled aside and offered better money for nude modeling (which actually celebrates a bit of squishiness here and there!) I never actually did it, but that's where the seed was originally planted.
I did smoking fetish and foot fetish videos as a way to help keep the coffers full in university and from there wound up finding camsite forums and what not, so yet another seed was planted.
I watched MFC for a long time before joining, and then I found myself more or less destitute at some point and signed up

My ex-boyfriend suggested it as a joke one day. I was working in the wine trade and REALLY bored and pissed off with my job(5 years in essentially the same role working for idiots will do that to a person) at the time. Him having planted the seed, i ran with it (it probably helped that i was climbing the walls i was so bloody horny, and yes, he had a lot of unresolved issues to do with sex meaning that i hardly ever got any which sucked).
I started on livejasmin in November 2009, stuck that out for 6 weeks before getting pissed off with the huge cut they take, and then some random popped into my room and suggested that I join MFC...the rest is history (as is the boyfriend who suggested it all in the first place. Oddly he got really weird about the whole thing even though it had been his idea). Have to say, haven't looked back since. It satifies my insane sex drive, current bf doesn't have a problem with what i do, and i don't have to deal with any more idiot bosses. WIN :-D

I want to have your babies. :shock:
Also I started camming for mostly the same reasons. Attention whoring insomniac, but no college, yet.
My history of enjoying impressing pervy guys actually goes back to being 11. I was on a lavalife chat room (chat only!) posing as a 21 year old girl named Crystal! OMG still don't know what I was thinking. Anyway that didn't last very long (parents found my profile but didn't know about the chat) and I forgot about it until a few years ago. I started spending some time (back when I was 17 >.>) on CamFrog every now and then, enjoying watching all the chat move to my name, and seeing the number of webcam-watchers (900 at once! O.O) At the time I wasn't sure if a webcam girl was something you could gt paid for....I even searched briefly, but never found what I wanted (all the links were about having your own website) I forgot about it until a few months ago, my bf was all "Oh hey you might like this website I've been lurking around for EVER. You could even become a model!" I was all "WTF WHY U NO TELL MI SOONAH" and signed up, expecting some pocket change to offset the INSANE loans I've had to take out for tuition. I found some stella friends and a tad bit more than pocket change
I need the money, I love chatting online, I've always been a show off. What could be better?

Master talked about it a couple times here and there, but I always turned it down. Finally, I lost my job when place I was working closed down, and was stuck working burger king for two days a week for a couple months with no training in the other areas or more hours to be able to learn faster. He said again "try it. I think you'll like it, I *know* you'll be good at it. When have I ever been wrong?" So I tried it. I do like it, and apparently, I am good when I actually stick to a schedule. Which I seem to never be able to do x.x
I had always dreamed of doing something like camming/stripping. I have always been an exhibitionist (wet t-shirt contest? where do I sign up?) so it seemed like the perfect gig to satisfy my attention whore attitude and put dollars in my bank account. All throughout college, I wanted to strip but the idea that my English professor could walk in and see me on any given Sunday made me hesitant.
After graduating college with what I call "a useless but fun degree" aka English - Creative Writing with a Film Studies focus; I decided to get a job just to pay off some of the debt I accrued while in college. The job was meant to be temporary, through a temp agency, but they trapped me and I couldn't leave because I wouldn't get unemployment and they wouldn't work as a good reference. I stuck it out for a year before realizing the money just wasn't good enough and that I would be 50 years old before I paid off my debt.
Luckily, my graduation present [laptop] had just been stolen from my apartment and my grandparents had both died in the past year (okay, actually very sad but I prefer to joke about the timing of it instead of dwell on it) which meant my mom inherited money. I got $1000 to do with what I wanted. What I wanted? Another laptop but with more power and a built in camera. Done. Within a month I was on MFC earning what I thought was awesome at the time; a whopping $600/month. Haha. I haven't looked back since but do wish I had made more of an effort in the beginning and saved more of my earnings. Live and Learn. It is all about the money now. I actually think MFC has made me tooooo confident in my daily life.
Okay, sorry that was long-winded. It's the writer in me

- i love to be watched when i do things i normally dont
- let me be honest: the money
- getting to know people on another level then just for a chat
thats about it... i have been visiting erotic chat rooms for years now.. and really like the kind of conversation you get there..
it doesnt always have to be about sex.. but its not a subject thats avoided..
like that kinda vibe..

um my fiance had suggested it to a slave of his as a way to make money, and that kinda set off the dominoes as far as me asking if he thought i could do something like that, if he felt that there would be a problem with me doing it etc...
part of me was curious because i have always been fuller figured and i would always see these slim women, or really toned ones but rarely see bbw or fuller figured females on the ads.
i originally signed up on a all bbw site and streamate... the bbw site was a good concept but they werent worth shit for the execution i never got paid.. which sucks but they hardly ever had traffic of any kind. streamates actually had a lot of people come flock to my room to compliment me and get shows.
i tried mfc because when me and my guy were lurking in this females room.. she had a HUGE dildo i was staring in awe cuz she actually did shows in free chat once the tips hit the right level for her goal... i liked the fact i could see someone making money while not in shows. it was kind of a perk because sometimes all a guy wants to see is a quick striptease. I dont see a point in getting worked up for a show when all they want to see is some tits and maybe you bending over.
funny thing is i could probably make more money--- if i could ever drag myself out of my rut of classes, daily work schedule and sleeping.. eventually i will be back on cam. soon even. but til then i kinda lurk the forum and the site
sucks that i have access to such a cool source of money but staying focused on school work and my reg job and home kinda have me unfocused

Noooo! I love your writing style. How many tokens for another paragraph?
Sry, OT, but it's true.
LOL. It took me a minute to figure out what OT meant. If you are serious I actually sell stories of sexual exploits for tokens. I hope I'm allowed to mention that on here...
i was living with my lover, his sister, her son and her bf we had no room of our own and my lover has not really looked for a job.. so i wanted to start stripping but im not your average stripper with my pale as hell skin , soft tummy and shortish red hair.. so i was on a adult forum and trying to figure out how i was gonna get the money for shoes, outfits, gym membership, hair makeup, etc
and saw camming.. i applied that night and ended up camming in her living room when she went to sleep. it was horrible. but in a couple months i saved enough to afford my security deposit and first months rent .. so i started camming out of sheer desperation. now as i work out and work on my social skills im hoping to make it into an awesome career. i still might strip eventually though.

One of my best friends started doing it because she needed the money, and mentioned to me more than a few times how much it had helped her with her self-confidence and such. I decided to test the waters, just to see, and wow! I enjoy it a lot!
I have always loved performing and about a year ago I decided I wanted to try to put together a modeling portfolio with the help of my photographer friend. I took a lot of dance when I was young, did the cheerleading thing in high school and realized after I did a few amateurish photo shoots that I really LOVE performing and entertaining. I thought about stripping but my boyfriend wasn't too thrilled about it so he suggested camming.....and here I am.

Plain and simple? I'm a dirty bitch. I like looking at myself... touching myself... spanking myself... I'm a dirty bitch.
Frankly, I have a lot of exhibitionist tendencies and fantasies and I like the idea that dudes... and maybe some chicks... from anywhere on earth (or possibly elsewhere), from all walks of life are enjoying watching me do stuff I'd be doing around the house anyway.
I briefly considered stripping but found the idea of it sexually frustrating... I can't exactly masturbate in a strip club and then there's the guys trying to put their paws all over me... I also looked into a couple joints around my place and found that the schedules were a little demanding so I started looking at other options. I found a couple of cam sites and checked them out... meh, not so fantastic. Then I found MFC and I was like, "Fuck! I can do this!"
I have a full time Jobby-job which I hate and find very socially confining... It pays the bills and I get by but I'm not rich. The opportunity to express myself on cam outside the constraints of a pretty conservative town is hugely attractive to me and the extra money from MFC definitely comes in handy but it's not my primary goal... I do find myself obsessed with my cam score but more often than not, I'm looking at my room count, not my token count...
I hope to make a permanent home for myself on MFC, at least until I'm old and ugly and would be better suited to chopping wood and paiting happy little trees. I hope to make MFC more of a full time commitment and find my job less and less satisfying every day. Why not get paid doing something I truly enjoy rather than sitting on my ass all day?
