My Camming Story
The story of how I started camming was not a cut-and-dry sequence of events, leading to the day I hit “Start Streaming”. It was a disorganized movement of multiple factors that eventually brought many different paths in my life to one decision. But this story more or less pulls everything together.
January 2020. I was a freshman in college. Pre-covid. I was enjoying my freedom to live a little promiscuously. I had threesomes, orgies, and joined online bdsm networks. This made me realize that I liked to watch and be watched, and that I am a sub.
February 2020. I meet a woman at one of these informal orgies who has a captivating presence. She commands any room she is in. When I meet her for the first time she brings a duffel bag of rope and sex toys and I instantly develop a massive crush on her. I learn she is a sex worker, mainly doing video calls at the time from what I gathered, but had a hand in many forms of online sex work.
March 2020. Right before covid. I meet someone online who also captures my attention. He pushes me to explore my kinks and what I like. We text a lot.
Covid. I had to leave my vanilla job, had to move off-campus, and school went online of course. I was a huge nerd and I lived for school. I knew if I didn’t get another job or serious commitment in my life, I’d soon be seriously depressed. Quite literally, school was my daily motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
The orgies stop. And, the man I’m talking to online doesn’t want to meet me anymore because he is extremely worried about Covid. I understand but I’m frustrated. We keep talking though and he talks to me a lot about exhibitionism and mentions the concept of camming to me. I link this to the sex worker I met a couple months ago.
April 2020. Out of nowhere, the man I’m talking to cuts me off and I lose all his contact info. I spend my days on zoom calls and researching what camming is. It sounds like something I’d like. But, I know that I won’t have time to cam until the semester wraps up so I start making a plan - it kept me busy and that’s what I needed.
May 2020. I make a ManyVids profile and release some amateur content. I even start making custom videos for people. I hatch a plan to start camming June 13th. I buy a webcam and order a Lush. I cross off the days on my calendar one-by-one. This makes me sound more prepared than I really was.
June 13th 2020. I was dressed in a two-piece lingerie outfit, I had written some goals, and made a tipmenu. My internet was only good enough for 720p. I hadn’t been nervous until right before I really did it. Up until this point I had corresponded in DMs with people on Manyvids and watched other solo female cams, but I had never interacted in real time with my every move being watched. I quickly backtracked and threw on a dress over my panties and bra, ah much better.
And then I went online.
This isn’t The End but it is The Start - it began not with a crash or a boom, but with a click.
