I was a cam girl, Ask Me Anything

[Amycamm]

I was a cam girl, ask me anything.

How much did you get paid?
Why did you stop?

@DioneTheDiabolist

How much did you get paid? Why did you stop?

I would charge £1.50 a min for group chat or £2.50 for private chat. The least I would make in an evening would be £40. The most I ever made in an evening was £900 ( I did stay up til 4am to make that) I stopped because I felt horrible. I started seeing the men as pathetic and it made me really sad for them....and their families if they had them. I burst into tears during a chat with someone and logged off quickly, then I never logged on again

What got you into it? If you had had a Universal Basic Income do you think you'd have still done it?

I first got into it as I had been made redundant, but when I got a new job, i still did it on and off especially if i wanted to make a big purchase. For example if I wanted a new TV I'd go on for as long as it took for me to make the money. It also meant I could save a lot more and really it was responsible for me getting my deposit together for a 4 bedroom house that would have taken me a lot longer otherwise.

How much money do you think you made overall in total during your time doing it?

@JustHereWithPopcorn

Before tax I made about £30000 over 18 months

Did you ever get recognised whilst out shopping etc?

Did you wear a ton of make up /dress up?

Might sound naive, but how did you get your clients? I guess they find you...!

@Burnthurst187

Never. I did set my location as a different place though!

Was it worth the money?

@managedmis

I wore quite heavy make up so it would show up on screen. I looked like a drag act in real life! I was on adultwork so you are on a page as being online and you wait for people to chat to you

@chunkyrun

Was it worth the money?

At first yes as I was dealing with it well, mentally. But it became not worth it anymore as my salary increased a lot at work and it started to affect me

Was it something horrible that he said to you that made you cry, or just a moment of realisation?

I hope you are happier now

What exactly did you do on camera?

Do you feel like the guys with partners were cheating on them when they were online with you?

I echo the above poster and hope you're a lot happier now

So you think a lot of the men were married?

That should say 'Do'.

So I sold myself as a "girlfriend experience" I wore sexy underwear with a mans white shirt over the top. I wouldn't do any sex acts it was more sexy chat. But because I was a girlfriend experience, I would ask all about their lives etc and gained many regulars. I'd chat to them for hours. I had two particular ones who spring to mind. One was a young guy (early 20s) who should have been meeting real life girls bit he was starting to come on every night to chat to me and I could tell he was infatuated. The second was a very rich guy, young again who had a wife and they were going through IVF. I was an escape from the stress. But I felt so guilty about it and how much he was spending on me. He was the one I burst into tears during one of our conversations.

I'm now happily married with kids!

@Itsjustabitofbanter

What exactly did you do on camera?

Just chat and smile til my cheeks hurt. I could hear them but they couldn't hear me. The chat was over a text function on the site

@RedPandaFluff

Do you feel like the guys with partners were cheating on them when they were online with you?

I do and that's when it started to feel horrible. I didnt mind too much when it was a single guy. I also had two couples who used to come on to chat with me. They were hoping I'd meet them but obviously I never did

@puzzledpiece

So you think a lot of the men were married?

I'd say about a third were married....or at least admitted to being married

How did you handle inappropriate requests? Did the site offer support or have a block function to protect you?

It's weird they couldn't hear your voice

Is that usual ?

@LaurieFairyCake

You can switch your mike on/off. I had it off. The guys would assume theirs was off though too and I'd hear them farting etc 😂

do you fake arousal? i'd always assumed this type of stuff is 100% fake?
