The world of digital sex can be a harrowing one, but Isa Mazzei’s frank conversation-starter Camgirl is a sexy, refreshing read about taboo topics with breezy honesty and whip-smart self-awareness. The author of the Netflix thriller Cam, Mazzei has long been a camgirl herself, and in this memoir, she takes readers behind-the-scenes of her year-and-a-half career performing intimate acts for an online audience.
The main drawbacks of the job are unsociable hours, inconsistent incomes, and personal niggles about body image. But, as Camgirl Olivia* explains to Dazed, cam girls can also become a source of therapy for their clients.
It can be slow going at the start, as viewers generally don’t open up their wallets until they feel a level of familiarity and trust. But that doesn’t mean cam girls should quit – they just have to be patient and keep working to build their audiences, cultivate regulars, and eventually make bomb money. This can take several sessions, and for some it can even take weeks. But it’s worth the wait, because cam girls make bomb money.
