In a capitalist society, women’s bodies have become monetised. They’re sold for the pleasure of men who get dopamine hits from spending tokens to chat with them. Camgirls rely on this addictive behaviour to make a living. But it can come with a dark side.
When a client is clearly into you and moves the conversation in to more intimate territory it can be a sign they want to extort you. They’re likely to ask for nudes or sexual images and videos of you. It’s always OK to say no if someone asks for this type of content and any person who genuinely cares about you will be ok with that.
It can also be a sign that the girl you’re talking to isn’t who they say they are. Sextortionists often use fake names to lure in victims. Use Google’s reverse image search tool to see if the photos they’re using on their profile or other online posts appear elsewhere.
Camgirls aren’t immune to mental health issues like body dysmorphia and low self-esteem. As a client-facing profession it can be difficult to find a balance between your own mental wellbeing and putting on a performance for clients. In this article Camgirl Olivia* speaks to Dazed about how she manages her anxiety, and how being a cam model helps her cope with personal niggles.
