I?m a single parent and although I have a day job it?s minimum wage, so like most people money is tight. I have debts to pay off and anything extra is very much needed so I can get back on an even keel. I started doing webcam work a few months ago after a suggestion from a friend who?s in a similar industry (she?s an escort), and it?s helping me to pay off my debts and give me a bit of extra cash to treat my DC. I can?t do a second job outside the house as I have no evening childcare for my DC, so in that respect it?s ideal. At present I only work on the cams for approx. 3 hours on Friday and Saturday nights when DCs in bed and although there are some time wasters on the site I work from, most of the blokes are fine (with some interesting requests!) and I have a few regulars, one of which spends approx £40-50 a time when he has a show with me.

I know the moral majority won?t approve and will say that I?m being exploited, used, abused etc. but they are the ones paying a lot of money to see me put on a show, so surely it's the other way around! I just dress up, watch TV until a show is requested then do a bit of a dance and a strip tease and watch the money to stack up as the minutes pass - so who?s the fool?! I?m not a victim, as I choose to do this and actually enjoy the fact that these men are paying me to put on a show for them. They can?t touch me, have no idea where I live or even what my real name is, so it?s safe from that point of view, and if I don?t like them for any reason I can kick them out of my ?room?. Obviously I?ve only been doing it a few months and the novelty may wear off, but if things go well, my friend has suggested I could branch out into the odd bit of escorting as well to up my income a bit more.

AIBU doing this to make a bit of much-needed extra cash?

Well. You want to do it. It's no skin off my nose or anyone else on this thread's if you do.

I don't quite see why people are getting all het up about it.

I actually, with the best will in the world, don't care one bit if you choose to do this.

You do not appear to be being coerced in any way.
You do not indicate that you are a vulnerable person who does not understand what you are doing.
You do not suggest that you have a drug habit to fuel.
etc etc

You are an aid to masturbation for money and you are content to be this, you are considering expanding that to escorting and understand that this may put you in danger - so do it if you want to . It's your choice, your life and you who will face any and all consequences.

Thingumy · 10/02/2011 13:40

Bit naive but not a dope Wink

I'd be very surprised if the OP got £40-50 for just getting her tits out and prancing about her bedroom.

carmenelectra · 10/02/2011 13:41

Ha ha mrspoc very funny.

No I don't think it is odd if a 'non-parent' female posts on here. Women like talking and there are loads of topics of interest. Some of my friends without kids still like talking about them.

A man joining doesn't seem quite right somehow. I know there are some exceptions. There a few men who I only ever see on threads like this.

I can see a dad might join to get some specific advice on parenting, but cahtting on threads about sex makes me suspicious I guess.

It's a bit like men posting a question on a mainly site about cars or something and then talking to a load of men about sex stuff. Bit yucky to me.

carmenelectra · 10/02/2011 13:42

Lol thingumy! Think I would do it myself if that is all I had to do and no one saw my head!!

Save me bothering with the overtime at workGrin

QueenBathsheba · 10/02/2011 13:43

You are an aid to masturbation for money Grin does that make OP a dildo!

carmenelectra · 10/02/2011 13:43

Sorry I meant women posting a mainly male site.

Thingumy · 10/02/2011 13:43

manual for sexcam workers,pleasant reading eh?

QueenBathsheba · 10/02/2011 13:45

the women going into Escorting make thier own choice. ok some may not but the rest do. It is called free will.

Mr Spoc if you really think this your a dildo too Grin

If OP needs to pay the rent and it's friday and the only call she gets is from that weirdo with the bad teeth that likes arse sex, she won't really have much choice will she.

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 13:46

Well carmenelectra i think you have some weird issues you need to sort. incase you have not noticed this thread is very much about men.

I supoport the Op and am trying to give advice.

You will also notice that i post on alot of threads that i find interesting and give good advice (i hope).

So why you on this thread then. Now i am suspicious.

carmenelectra · 10/02/2011 13:46

Yuck, Queenbathsheba

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 13:48

QueenBathsheba everyone needs to pay the rent. its called living and everyone needs to wrk to earn the money. i really do not see your point.

Just because this is how she chooses to do it does not mean she has not excersied her own free will.

Lol at you mrspoc. Weird issues? Not me Grin.

Why am I on here, what mumsnet or this thread?? Been on mumsnet for quite a few yrs and have posted on lots of topics.

How is this thred about men?

Ladyofthehousespeaking · 10/02/2011 13:50

wheretheresawilllwhat I would suggest if you want to earn extra money from home is those sex-text services, there's one called 1-2-1 that I used to work for, you are totally anonymous, no photo, no way of contacting you etc and you get paid per message you respond to.
I did this in uni, sat in my pyjamas with a cuppa Grin

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 13:50

well have you read the thread carmenelectra - quite ironic how your name is after a well known glamour model.

JimmyChooChoo · 10/02/2011 13:50

LDNmummy-funny how all of all of a sudden you have a 'friend' who has bought a house etc by being an escort.Are you sure it's not you?
You also said it was her career choice but then you went on to say it enabled her to pay for her education.Why did she have to have an education?Didn't know you needed an education to be a high flying career escort woman.Hmm

As for your your last paragraph-you do live in cloud cuckoo land my love.

carmenelectra · 10/02/2011 13:53

Not quite sure what you are insinuating mrspoc but I suggest that you read through old posts of mine. Get more of a background on me.

JimmyChooChoo · 10/02/2011 13:54

Carmen-ignore Mrspoc he's a slimeball.

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 13:54

why, it would not be relivant to this topic.

carmenelectra · 10/02/2011 13:54

Yeah jimmy, I gathered that.

MrSpoc · 10/02/2011 13:55

Why Jimmy because i do not have the same opinions as you. So now I am a slime ball.

Grow up and get over your self.

Thingumy · 10/02/2011 13:55

A paying slimeball maybe?

carmenelectra · 10/02/2011 13:56

Er mrspoc and referring to my posting name is relevant to this thread?Confused

JimmyChooChoo · 10/02/2011 13:56

Yes a paying slimeball who would be happy for his daughter to sleep with men for money

QueenBathsheba · 10/02/2011 13:56

Imagine this: a guy has a girl, guy or wife thatâ??s all grumpy and bitchy. He waits for her to go to bed so he can get online and enjoy some hot copied from the site.

sad isn't it that sex on the net is destroying the trust in so many relationships. Wives and grilfriends are always seen as grumpy nagging fridgit and cold and men are being encouraged to spend the shopping and mortgage money on sexy suzy who is just trying to feed her kids! The irony.
