Russian version

The webcam theme is very controversial. Some consider this to be a common remote prostitution. Others call webcam girls almost stigma destroyers and mouthpieces of female sexuality. Personally, I am neutral towards webcam. If the girls go there of their own free will, they realize the possible consequences, everything suits them, and they can leave at any moment – who am I to condemn them.

You can't romanticize webcams either. Like any work in adult sphere, a webcam can ruin life in a non-illusory way, from psychological trauma to cases of deanon and blackmail.

Nevertheless, it was very interesting for me to talk about this controversial topic with the author of the telegram channel Amoral Thing and the current webcam model. We discussed the arguments of opponents of the webcam, creepy fantasies of users, favorite toys and more.

Disclaimer: this interview is not promoting webcams! I expressed my personal opinion about this above, but I also want to know yours, comments are open.

Enjoy reading!

How did you come to webcam business?

I set the condition for my future first husband – to come up with a business for us that would really be organized on our own, and that would bring at least $3k per month. A couple of weeks later he came back with information about webcams. We started creating studios. I worked as a model in my studio for about a month. At first, there was not enough income for anything, and I was curious how it was. But my husband began to worry that I would marry a user (a visitor of webcam sites – author's note) and go abroad and forbade me to webcam.

Later, when my second husband went broke, I returned to work as a model from home, I did not want to create studios and businesses again. We agreed with him in the first month of our acquaintance – if there are problems with money, I will return to webcams.

What is the hardest part of this job?

Periods of silence. When there are no tips, orders, privates. You sit stupidly in front of the camera and wait. It is useless to arrange a free show (show in a free chat). I tried – there is no use in them. Therefore, I write articles for Telegram and Instagram. When the webcam is quiet, it helps to wait out the silence.

Share the strangest fantasies you've ever heard from users.

Many strange actions are ordered, but I usually refuse to do all these and do not remember what they asked there. From what I agreed to, the strangest were the requests of users with a fetish for nostrils: they wanted me to pick my nose and blow my nose. And one of them asked to make a pig's face, lifting the tip of the nose, grunt and at the same time deeply swallow a dildo.

There was another constant visitor who asked to show only a close-up of a face in the camera, paint lips during the entire private session and tell stories about who and how fucked his wife, describing in detail all her emotions and feelings.

Users not only ask me to do something strange – they themselves show all kinds of game in private for their own money. They came in their own mouths, and tied 5 liter cans of water to their balls, and danced for me in women's underwear, fucked themselves in the ass with cucumbers. In short, you will not get bored.

How do people close to you feel about your work?

My parents do not know, but if they find out, they will have to accept – I will not listen to anyone. I'd rather stop communicating with them if they read moralities. My current man, who is also my future third husband, supports everything I do. We are swingers, so webcams are bullshit compared to what we do with him in real life. My girlfriends and close acquaintances, including the housekeeper, also know about webcams, they are normal with it. Almost all of my friends asked to help with registration and they also work there.

Recently I came across a post by a famous Telegram blogger about webcams, in which she accused them of normalizing the sale of people. They say that girls do not go there from a good life, and there is not even a smell of healthy sexuality here. What can you say about this?

Bullshit. If you don't want to, don't go. Nobody drags anyone into webcams by force. People come to any job not from a good life, but because they need money. But the most greedy come to webcams, they don't want to sit at the checkout for $200 a month. I would like to cut at least $1000. So why the hell does all this snot about “not from a good life” begin?

And what does “healthy sexuality” have to do with it? Webcam is a show, and what exactly to show in this show, you choose yourself. You might not get undressed at all, not show anything and still earn. If a girl does something unacceptable and unhealthy for herself, this is her problem and her choice. The webcam itself is not to blame as a phenomenon. This is just a platform on which there is a certain freedom of action, but there are also limitations: you cannot do anything you want here, they will block it. And what exactly of the permitted you do is your personal choice.

Have you faced problems with webcams? For example, attempts to de-anonymize you, blackmail, etc.?

No, not once in all 4 years. But initially I did not hide my work from anyone – how can you blackmail me? Even if I keep a blog with an open face, in which I myself write everything for the whole world. There were girls I knew, yes, but only with those who were hiding from friends and family.

I think this way: either do not work in webcams, or do not hide the fact that you work here. Then there will be no problems. And any attempts to impersonate another person, which you really are not, always fail.

Do you think there are certain personality types who will be comfortable in webcam? What traits do girls need to work high without psychological trauma and other hurting things? And who doesn't belong in a webcam?

According to my observations, you can try if you are a hysterical radical, an exhibitionist, in general you have a free and positive attitude to sex, you think that any voluntary, health-friendly manifestations of sex are ok, you know how to accept other people and their opinions / fantasies without condemnation. Personally, I'm also a psychopath, I'm sure it helps a lot to see the world objectively and without judgment. Psychopaths tend to lack authority and do not care about any norms and opinions. And no shame, no guilt about any issue. But I think you can feel good on webcams without psychopathy.

Has webcams influenced your attitude towards men and sex?

Not really. Even before that, I was sexually free. But I learned a little more about the fantasies of men, their problems with wives and relationships.

As a sex shopper, I can't help but ask: what is your favorite toy besides Lovense? Is it true that they help models make more money?

Second place is for "Hitachi" (the most popular and powerful body massager, also known as a “microphone”). Toys help, of course. Lovense makes 30-50% of its income for the model.

Do you use them in everyday life? Or just on stream?

Yes, I use it in everyday life. And sometimes together with a partner, and when a partner is not around, but I want sex.
