Web cam girls!

I'm actually quite shocked at how many people I know that over time I've come to learn earn extra work as web cam girls.
Apparently it's quite a well known thing.... aibu to have been in the dark! Has this always been a thing?

Sexy enough for you?

Eh?

Well no, it's not always been a thing. It has only been a thing since webcams and such technology became available.

Girls? I think that you will find that is illegal.

tuttifruityo · 25/09/2018 21:34

🙄 since the creation of the web cam and ladies over the age of 18..... this seems to have suddenly boomed as extra income. My experience is with people I know, it's housewives and people that can't be bothered to work a 'normal' job..... normal discussion continue 🙄

Is this some sort of recruitment drive - a webcam mlm of sorts?

I don't personally know anyone who is a sex worker. I guess it's not the career path one would discuss over a cup of tea and a Hobnob at the PTA meeting though is it?

tuttifruityo · 25/09/2018 21:47

It hasn't been all in one go, it just seems to be every now and then I find out someone else does it. These women are all so different and you would never guess at all. I just wondered if this was considered the norm and I was a cave woman living in the dark ages! It unfortunately warps my view of them which as much as I try to live in a non judgmental kind of way, it does 😕

I know quite a lot of mothers and not one of them does cams, but then for all I know they could all be up to it, they are hardly likely to just drop that into a conversation. So why have they told you? Hmm

Gardai · 25/09/2018 21:50

I’ve never met anyone who does it.
Is it a regular occurrence meeting a webcam lady ? Like where, Tesco ?
I’m fascinated.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 25/09/2018 21:51

Nah, have a daughter aged 23 and one aged 19. None of their friends are sex workers either. Fancy that.

tuttifruityo · 25/09/2018 21:52

One told me.... it doesn't hugely bother me, I was just shocked and a bit 😕 and she then dropped a couple of other names and said that they had been doing it a while, then a another person, nothing to do with the others dropped it into convo like the weather.

I find selling on eBay complicated enough

sunshineandshowers21 · 25/09/2018 21:55

i know a few girls my age (26) that do webcam work/work in a strip club - but they’re generally the woke feminist types that are all pansexual and post a lot of ‘arty’ naked photos on social media.

How very peculiar

tuttifruityo · 25/09/2018 22:03

I'm actually quite pleased that I'm not the only one who this is all new to. 😂
Maybe I need a new circle!

Webcam girls have been a thing pretty much since the internet kicked off.

Ethylred · 25/09/2018 23:21

YABU and horrible for the word convo.

Allineedyoutodois · 25/09/2018 23:22

Mmm, i’d Say a lot of the people I know are non-conventional in all sorts of ways, including a bloke who gets paid for sex ( but it’s more of a ‘hobby’ with him) but I know not a single mum doing webcam sex work.
Weird?

Internet discussions never fail to amaze me!
