Expanding Horizons With Fetish Camming

Expanding Horizons With Fetish Camming

When I started webcam modeling back in 2011 I was quite naive about even the most common fetishes. Members would ask me to see my feet and I would think to myself, “Okay, that’s kind of weird, but why?” Of course, I would never say anything to make someone feel like their “thing” was weird or unacceptable, after all they are just feet! I soon started to realize that there are thousands of fetishes that people crave and are willing to pay for … some as simple as pretending to sprain an ankle or vacuuming the carpet. I also started to realize that I was passing up a lot of money declining shows with fetishes that I didn’t really understand or feel like I could cater to. Finally, I thought, “You know what? I’m going to take the shows and just give it my all.” That was the best decision I ever made in my webcam model career!

Fast forward to 2017 where I took home the XBIZ Cam Award for Best Fetish Cam Model, which quite frankly, I feel like I really deserved! You want to know my secret? It’s simple! I started saying “yes” to any fetish or roleplaying request that was sent to me and just did my very best at trying to fulfill their fantasy. Of course, I do have my personal limits and would never do anything to compromise those. Let’s face it, there are some extreme fetishes out there that I would just never do for any amount of money.

I made it to where I am now as a webcam model and true fetish performer by stepping out of my comfort zone and learning about fetishes as I went. What this did for me was make me so versatile and really expanded my income.

“Fake it until you make it” was my new motto and it worked! I made it to where I am now as a webcam model and true fetish performer by stepping out of my comfort zone and learning about fetishes as I went. What this did for me was make me so versatile and really expanded my income. I realized that when I was declining these shows due to uncertainty and fear of the unknown it was really limiting my income and I was there to make money correct?

At first, I slowly started doing more and more fetishes in private shows and just went with it. Very rarely did I have someone leave the show for me having lack of knowledge in their fetish. I found that most members were willing to elaborate on exactly what they wanted in order to get their desires fulfilled by me. I’m not going to lie and say it was easy, especially the female domination fetishes like extreme humiliation. You are taught as a child to be “nice” to people and not to be a “bully.” Even though I am a very dominant person naturally and have been all my life, it was hard at first to tell someone they are a worthless bitch and they have a penis the size of a thimble even though that is what they wanted. I slowly but surely became more confident that I could be anything and cater to most all fetishes while knowing I am just playing a role. It got easier and easier with every show and I am now highly respected as a professional dominatrix and fetish performer by members and fellow industry people alike.

If I could give one piece of advice to a webcam model stuck in a rut of boring masturbation show after masturbation show it would be this: Don’t let your fear of being a little uncomfortable stop you from broadening your limits or trying new things. Take shows that you normally would just pass on (within your limits) and just jump right in. Use the motto “fake it until you make it” like I did to your advantage. After all, what is the worst that can happen? The member exits the show early and leaves you a less than desirable review. That’s when giving an incentive like free nude photos for every five-star rating comes in! That way, if they were not 100% satisfied with the show, they are more likely to still give you a stellar review to get those free nudes!
