Cam modelling is a great job and it is very fulfilling. Creating your own hours, striving for monetary goals you never knew possible. I hate that people think that because you cam, you're obviously unfulfilled. That's false. Entirely false.

When you can earn 4 times as much as a "regular, conventional job" in a quarter of the time and spend the rest of your time with your family, you might disagree that this is unacceptable.

Not all cam models get naked. Not everything is about sex. I have people that pay just to chat with me and have my undivided attention.

There is waaaay more to camming than you think there is.

I'm talking about women who don't have the luxury of a man at home. Those who have to solely depend on themselves for money. Your minimum wage job maybe enough for "Extra" spending cash, but it's not enough to pay the bills without have to go to wellfare for food stamps, medical, and maybe section 8. Your lucky to have parents that will babysit for you because most of us don't have that either. There are plenty of us that don't even live within 100miles of our family. Retail jobs that are seasonal are still not going to pay for the bills forever. Camming is something that will. And there might be one day you don't have a husband or a family to help you out. You have to think about how you can do things for yourself. Camming is a wonderful option to have. And as many others have said it's more than sexual things. Some clients don't even want sexual things.

There's jobs around here that are more than min wage and are 40 hrs + a week. and yes i am thankful my parents live within 30 mins of us if we'd like to have a date night or kids wanna spennd the night over there.

I just have to say I feel uncomfortable even answering the original question. Jmex asked a question, a legitimate question. Then, when people answered, some were jumped on for "not supporting" cam modeling. I don't know how anyone could answer Jmex's real dilemma if they are jumped on for agreeing with him. Jmex admitted he's uncomfortable so for whatever reason, is everyone who agrees with him wrong? I think Jmex has a right to HIS opinion about the situation, and more than anyone else on the board, as it's his SO who is involved in this.

This shouldn't be about "is cam modeling OK?" or "Is cam modeling a good job for a 'married woman'?" or "Here are all the benefits and hard work of cam modeling."

I thought the OP's question was "Would you be uncomfortable taking pics of your SO for her Cam Modeling job?" Honestly, yes. I don't do this for a living, but I know my husband would not be comfortable "helping" with this kind of thing at all. I think we should be allowed to be honest without being attacked, but also, we should give our answers in a respectful manner.

I couldn't care less to judge what other people do for a living and it isn't my job to say whether or not it is "OK for married women" or not as I don't live their lives, but yes, I KNOW My Man would not be OK with "helping out."

I'm just answering the OP's question. The rest is simply off topic.

I totally agree with what you said. I kinda didn't reply after my first post because everyone was being so quick to attack those who did not agree with them. I think certain people on this site think their opinions are above everyone else's which is total bs. We all have a right to our own opinions. We all should have remained on topic with how we would feel if we were in this situation.

I kinda think Jmex shouldn't have even brought this topic up on a public forum knowing his wife frequents this site also. Could start problems and drama.

Everyone has the right to express their opinion in a respectful way.

Simply stating "I cannot imagine myself doing this line of work, but I think either way the answer would be no", is respectful.

Offering unsolicited opinions such as "that's disgusting, you're a terrible human being", is not being respectful. It can and will earn disciplinary actions such as suspension of discussion services for a specified amount of time.

Edenfantasys welcomes all aspects of topics varying from sex to how you eat your eggs in the morning and contributors are encouraged to spring discussions from off-topic comments - provided that everyone can be respectful.

Shaming or judging others for their choices, regardless of your own moral compass, does not create a welcoming atmosphere. Please keep this in mind. Thank you!

Beck I have family that lives close by and they don't even have time to babysit. I just now got my daughter into daycare a couple days of week and for four hours. I called around to centers and they wanted $200 a pop a week and on days even if I did not send her there. I can't afford almost 600 bucks a month for daycare. The lady I have now is a in home daycare and she is charging me $50 bucks a week for 4 hours for three days out the week. I am so happy about that one. I live in a good neighborhood in a apartment community my rent alone is $593.00 bucks month and I am not on section 8 and don't have low income. I rather it stay that way. I have lived in the ghetto and in low income and I will not go back to it ever again. I do everthing to make sure this does not happen. I don't have my partner here with me to help out and even if he was here I still would not have him be the sole person to just do it. I would have him pay half. Or have him take care of bills or something and I take care of the rent and other things.

I for one don't get undressed for everyone as I have said plenty of times I do the Friends and Romance side of it and a little example in two weeks I sure make about $300-400 bucks per pay period. Sometimes even more then that depending on how long I am on and if I am not getting side track and taking days off. All for not getting undressed. Also I spend most of my time on there because I don't really like being on the adult sides even though I know you can make more money being on that side I do it when I want too or when a member really wants me too. Otherwise my time is spent on the Friends part.

You don't have to get naked to be sexy you can be flirty or playful. My members love my smile and the way my character is and that I keep it straight with them and don't bull shit and have never lied to them before.

I have people who said they would never do it, who also have contacted me in months saying how can they get started. So don't never say you won't do something because you never know where you will be down the line.

To a certain degree I think it depends upon the nature (how extreme) the modeling/posing is. If you're married, then it has to be a mutual decision. If you're not comfortable with the nature of her modeling, then you need to tell her. If you can find a compromise, then that would be best.

Those day cares and in home daycares are crazy to want that price for weekly/monthly rates. If i babysit, i charge $25 a day or 125 a week Mon - Fri care 8 hrs a day. my mom doesn't work, so that's why she was able to babysit while i worked for the time i did. my dad works a good job from home so he was able to help with my kids while my hubby and i worked. i can def. see if both parents work full time or part time how they couldn't have time to help u though.

@Moderator - sorry. I'll just not reply anymore to these topics

I'd be fine with it. I'd probably end up 'laying claim', so to speak, when she was done modeling for the day. Probably with some wickednasty sex or a movie date or something - just to remind her that I still love her and I'm not mad ( plus, I'm fairly sure the sex would be glorious ).

I wouldn't mind co-starring if it ever called for it, either, haha. XD;

I've privately messaged you about this.

I wasn't saying that Cam girls end up on welfare or that there was anything wrong with welfare. I was stating that Minimum wage jobs are only enough to cover some things or to be only extra spending. Those who don't have the luxury of family, friends, or a spouse to help them while they work outside of the home. For these people Camming is an awesome job to have. They don't have to worry about what is going to pay the bills because they are.

As this post I replying to says. Things cost money. And a lot of money. AT minimum wage (7.25 in Ohio) you will only bring home less than $300 a week (40 hours * 7.25 per hour = $290). That doesn't include what you pay out for taxes, insurance, maybe child support, or whatever else comes out of your check prior to getting it. And this is if you work 40hours a week. This is not enough money to cover basic things in life when you have children to take care of. You would have to work at least 2 of these jobs. Camming on the other hand can payout way more than that depending on how long your on and what you are doing. You don't have to be nude or do sexual things. Sometimes people just want someone to talk to.

I didn't mean to attack anyone here and I'm sorry @mama2007 if I did. Sometimes things get heated when there was never a need for heat.

To answer the original question, I wouldn't personally be uncomfortable, but I can understand why some would be.

Also, to any girl that cams for a living--good for you for having that type of confidence.

I cam occasionally and my husband enjoys watching. If it is an agreed upon part of your relationship it can be fun and fulfilling. He takes all the pics for me to place where I choose. For Jmex and Mamadivine--do what you are comfortable with, don't let the criticism sway you. You are doing what needs to be done for the family. At least there is a legitimate stay at home job that pays the bills!! Good luck, work through the issue and keep strong for each other!!

RickyNStephy-Im totally ok with it. Jmex and I have a completely open and honest relationship. He had brought it up to me (his comfort level) about this, and I think that several people are not reading my response to what Mama2007 had said. I explained in detail why he was uncomfortable and what the situation was.

For him to post on here, is totally ok with me. When we discussed his comfort level about the whole situation, I had asked him "Well, Im sure you're not the only one who feels like this, its natural to feel this way. Maybe this could be a topic you could bring up in forums"

Im an open book. As is my husband. I have no time or desire in my life for drama and he and I work things out just fine without drama. But I can definitely see where you might think this. Many people are not so lucky to have this sort of relationship, and with some, this sort of thing may be drama forming. But its ok ALL opinions and suggestions or thoughts on this matter are more than welcome. Although, Judging is not cool. I really haven't seen anyone on here that has done anything wrong in that manner, except for one person but I will not name names. To everyone else, we respect your answers and thank you for your input! But please, make sure to read my responses to Mama2007, before you make your post, as it explains a little bit more as to WHAT and why he is uncomfortable. I think many are misunderstanding this whole thread as he did not word it correctly lol.

No Worries JS, I have received a lot of shame and judgement that was passed by those that had no place or right to judge in the first place. Those that do not agree with what I do, are allowed to their opinions. However, judging me in my ways of life, is not acceptable in my eyes. I do not judge others (and if I do, its not on purpose and I will apologize for that.). I may feel strongly on a certain topic, but I will not pressure others to feel as I do.

Thank you for the well wishes JS-and to others that have said so.

On one hand, I would have a weird "proud" feeling that they looked so hot and people would be willing to pay to see them, especially if our relationship was monogamous. Like they are MINE, but wanted by all these people. But on the other hand, I think over a short period of time feelings of jealousy would start to overwhelm me; I would overthink it and realize how many people are objectifying my partner and it would eventually upset me instead of causing pride. It's a tricky situation indeed.

I can be a bit insecure about myself and I would probably worry about jealousy and such, so I don't think I could do this.

I wouldn't be okay with it. I don't want anyone to see my SO naked or almost naked besides me. I guess I am the jealous type.
