Why is cam so big

I don't get why any one pays to watch camming of any kind.

I can only guess that the customer base lives primarily in regions where there is little or no live adult entertainment. So, if a guy wants to interact with a woman, then he only has camming as a quick and affordable option.

Purely a guess. Does not appeal to me at all.

I have never taken part but I understand if you take a cam girl private you can pretend she is masturbating just for you. For me it’s not worth it.

I’d assume it sort of like those services back in the day before screens were common there were oral sex phone calls not sure how they worked but people made money by faking a sexy phone call canning is a less imaginative version is all.

I'd assume (perhaps incorrectly) that camming is the "best" option for those lacking any combination of the funds or the nearby availability of live adult entertainment.

I’ll forever wonder the same thing

Count me among not getting it either. I am certain that the interactive nature is why men are seeking when they choose to pay for camming instead of going to pornhub for free. But if they want something interactive, why not go to the strip club or an escort? I dunno... for married guys, camming is certainly less risky.

I will note that camming, findomming, and onlyfans seems to be the official side hustles of strippers. With onlyfans seeming to quickly be overtaking the other two

I also don't get the appeal of camming. Folks talk about interactivity, but it's still just a girl on a screen.

However, like the OP stated, camming is huge. So we need to find someone who does like it, hope he has huge balls like LapDanceKing82 to speak about his preference despite the potential for ridicule, and help us understand why it's so appealing to himself as well as others.

I was born that way.

Never had it called Cam before though 😉

I admit to having tried it. I was recovering from an injury and couldn’t get out so I gave it a shot. I’ll also admit I liked it better than I thought I would. I think the interactive nature of it is where the appeal was.

Having said that, it kind of runs it’s course, I think. Like porn, it loses the newness factor after a while.

I think it is cause you talk with the girl and she responds to you on cam. So it is more like being with her f2f.

Hey, most guys don't reside in a strip club.

Used to be guys paid for audio only phone sex.

for some going to strip club requires much more effort due to distance and/or timing.
where I live and hang out in both Arizona and California it takes a fair amount of driving to get to a good club. six or seven years ago I did buy some credits on a couple of WebCam sites and it was fun interacting with the girls. But the amount of money i saw others spending on web girls quickly adds up.
and I greatly prefer interacting with the girls face-to-face.

Maybe Cam just has a slow metabolism

I'd say cause its accessible & interactive. Strip clubs aren't everywhere. I'd also venture to say a lot of the customers on cam sites wouldn't be comfortable in a strip club. Many of the girls wouldn't be either.

-You can easily shop for a girl with a thousand to choose from instead of 20.

-There’s an aspect of control where you can tell the girl to do what you want.

-Its convenient.

-There’s no judgement, you can look weird, be weird, act on your weird compulsions and only this one person who society views as lesser witnesses it.

-No cover, no tipping, no surcharges, very little risk.

I do not know why girls like camming, I feel like it’s a huge investment of time and many time wasters and you also risk someone exploiting and exposing you by filming you, you risk that every day. 🤷🏼‍♀️

You can't talk 5o a pre-recorded video... well you can but it ain't talking back. A cam girl will. Cam girls also take requests. Everyone wants to be a director of their own movie but not every loser can meet a girl willing g in their crawl space. Thank god for the internet am I right? If I can't fuck her, at least I can tell her what to do. And 10x cheaper than a strip club

^^^^^ I think also the girl only needs to actually be in front of the camera and be responsive, when someone is paying. So when that is absent, I think she can do other things.

But it all gets to the level of lowliness in our society.

I like cam-sites - I just don't find them cost-effective given I can hit good-clubs - but I find them better than porn - if my finances were not constrained to a certain extent not necessarily in what I can spend but what I'm willing to spend given my personal $ituation, then I'd do camming in addition to my SCing - but given that I am willing to spend up to a certain amount on mongering, then I rather use that amount for clubbing even though I like camming for some of the reasons listed such as interactivity, instant-access to semi-life naked women, and variety (although the last 2 can be achieved via porn) - but I like the variety of cam-sites better than what I find in most SCs since there can be women from all-over-the-world of all shapes and sizes vs w/e a club decides it wants to hire and a club being constrained in #s.

Better to meet a girl f2f, like at a strip club, and pick the one you want to be waking up with in the mornings.

I'm sure girls like it because it's like lap dancing for a lot of cheapos and a few money folk...all at once. For however long they want. And they dont have to pick or choose which lap to sit in because in an hour they can make $100+ all without going outside the house or actually touching gross ass men. It's not their fault men are dogs, their just taking advantage of the opportunity

From a camgirl's POV - she potentially has access to millions of custies throughout the world which can be lucrative in terms of economies of scale - especially women from impoverished-areas where what they can make via camming can perhaps be significant $ where they live where they may perhaps not have too-many-other-opportunities.

Girls in our underground circuit do okay with table dancing. Go from one guy to another, no "wanna dance", they just do, and they meter in money. No gaps between songs on party tape.

3 hour show means 3 hours of metering in money, and the talent agent cut is just a flat rate.

To a degree, girls can do what they want, and bend rules some.

Most are always trying to line up OTC regulars. Fun girls for sure!

I understand completely how it's worth it for the women doing the camming. But from the customer standpoint I don't get it. Telling her what to do and all that is good but if I can't physical touch and feel her body then the whole thing seems pointless to me. I guess to each their own, much like I love LDKs and lots of folks think that's pointless also.

I think it is just because it is at home, easier, she cannot see you, etc.

Some guys want personal interaction /are lacking real human connection elsewhere, some want to experiment with fetishes some have very specific fetish that turns them on that maybe they surpress in their relationship some guys want to see a live naked girl masturbate for him etc.

Also everyone always wants to say they can get free porn it's not anywhere near the same as a live show you really can't even compare the 2.

As far as needing to "feel" the girl did you know you can with interactive toys?

There's many reasons why camming is so popular even when you can watch free pirated stolen porn online.
