Sex Toys, Lube, and Infections

 Many occupations have supplies associated with them.  As a cam model, sex toys and lube are among these supplies.  I also use some in my personal life.  Though sex toys can be enjoyable, they can also cause infections that are no fun, such as vaginal itching, swelling, and urinary track infection (UTI).  I experienced all of these at some point and recently tested positive for UTI, commonly characterized by frequent urination in small amounts and a burning sensation after peeing.  

Though the UTI is getting better, I'm taking some time of off camming and penetrating sex toys to continue healing.  From what I learned, to reduce the chances of infection, pay close attention to the materials on sex toys. Avoid ones made of porous materials, such as vinyl, latex, jelly. They can trap moisture in their pores that create bacteria and cause infections.

Instead, use non-porous ones made of glass, metal, ABS plastic, silicone. Also, use water based lube instead of oil-based.

Worst Questions to Ask Sex Workers: Question 1- "Would You Want Your Daughter Being a...."

This is the first blog entry in a series of bad questions to ask sex workers.  I was going to list these all in one entry, but then noticed my commentary on the first question was long enough for an entire blog entry.  Thus, I'll do each question as a separate entry with the first question in this one.   Unfortunately, these questions are all too often asked in interviews.  This is one reasons I prefer not to do interviews and just post here where I can speak in my own voice instead of being pressured to conform to the narrative somebody else is trying to portray of sex workers.  However, I have appreciated being interviewed by sex workers and people with a nuanced and respectful perspective of sex workers beyond just the stereotypes and cliches. These interviews mainly focused on advocacy issues and sex workers' human rights.   Such "questions" to be critiqued here are more often statements worded as questions rather than actual questions, and lead the sex worker to

Body Positivity, Body Shaming, Porn, and Camming

 If you read my blog entry on how I got into porn, you may remember me hinting about writing an entry on body positivity and body shaming in the industry.  Drum roll please because here it is.  Though this is a serious issue, I will also use humor so feel welcome to laugh (as long as you're laughing with me and not at me lol). When I started camming in 2002, I was kind of heavy by modeling standards and still am curvy and thick.  While I received many positive comments, one thing I remember was how multiple people came into my chatroom to tell me I'm fat or my tits sag (as if I didn't already know that and needed these b******** to enlighten me?  LMAO.)  Though I realize we show our bodies for a living, such behavior is really unnecessary.  If somebody's not your type, then you can leave their chatroom.  No need to be rude or disrespectful.  But then again, some people get off on degradation so maybe they really were into me and jacking off while they said that.   On a

Being an Ethical Live Cam Model

I strive for the best in all I do, including cam modeling.  This means being an ethical live cam model.  In cam modeling, ethics include: 1. Be honest about what we do and don't do in private shows.  Though many cam models are honest in this sense, some may wonder if they can increase their business just by saying they'll do something and then once the customer is in private, don't do it or try to redirect them.  If the customer demands something we didn't say we'll do ahead of time, that's understandable to not do it or try to redirct them.  However, saying we'll do something we won't is detrimental to our success, as well as to paying customers and other cam models. As experienced cam models know, it's important to build up a repeat clientele, which won't happen by scamming customers.  Furthermore, customers can leave reviews, and negative reviews or saying that a model is dishonest or deceptive won't help their business. Such experiences c
