Every day, new sexy men go online to become award-winning cam guys in search of a loyal fan base, fame, fortune and amazing memories. The path from unknown newbie to becoming a world-class male-identifying cam star is paved with the frequent requests that models in the genre get in private shows and public chat rooms from prospective customers.
One major gap in the knowledge base of most new performers is exactly what kinds of things they will be asked about or asked to do in private shows. For that reason, we figured it would be helpful to shed some additional light on the most intimate parts of this vibrant niche online.
having a male cam model go from stripteasing to full-on hardcore mode is one of the most empowering feelings a fan can experience online.
LIVE SHOWS ADD AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF MYSTERY
Unlike pre-recorded adult entertainment, cam shows are inherently live and anything can happen in the heat of the moment. A cam fan’s options are unlimited, because they can direct the action and decide whatever they want to see next, which often changes as a matter of their mood.
Of course, cam models can always choose to refuse any request, so the ultimate control is with the model all the time, but finicky fans can also opt to simply go find another cam dude willing to do what they want to see instead of begging any particular performer. That mysterious element of the unknown is what makes camming so exciting for models and fans, in ways that a passive pre-recorded show simply can’t ever match.
CAMMING IS OFTEN SEXUALLY EXPERIMENTAL FOR FANS
People each have their own fetishes that they want to explore, and those interests come in all shapes and sizes. Some fetishes might seem “odd” at first, but every cam model eventually understands that fetish requests from fans are quite common. Some are genuine enthusiasts who know exactly what they want you to do, while others are experimenting with the safety, anonymity and security that online live sex shows provide.
Fans quickly understand that when they are online chatting with a cam model, they can be whomever they want, see whatever they want and can shed their own inhibitions easily as they see if a new fetish is something they want to add to their personal sexual experience regularly, or if it’s just a passing fancy.
That “try it and see” approach makes fetish cam show requests from fans quite common. If you have a turn-on that you’re embarrassed to share in your social life, chances are you are not alone, and there are many people online right now who would be happy to enjoy it with you. Nobody but you will ever know what you are into unless you choose to tell them yourself.
THE OBVIOUS REQUEST IS ALSO THE MOST COMMON
Most fans just want to watch their favorite cam guy jerk off. For many, it really is that simple: watching a very attractive model in great shape stroking his rock-hard cock and spewing his best orgasm right at your screen. Despite the popularity of straightforward orgasm requests, according to online data, this only makes up 15-20% of cam shows. The bulk of cam time is actually allocated to a much more diverse set of erotic topics.
A lot of customers are into balloons, billiard balls, food, latex, feet, cross-dressing, cam2cam shows, cuckold games and many other kinds of kinks. Even things as specific as ASMR are gaining popularity, as audiophiles ask models to do things like step onto a water bottle so they can hear the sound, which some cam fans find exceptionally exciting. While these requests are less common, it’s always a new adventure when you’re ready to make your clients happy.
So: aside from jerking off, what are the five most popular requests male cam models get? While there are always new fantasies to explore, these requests are the ones that customers currently ask for the most from their male models:
FOOT FETISH
One of the easiest ways to make money as a cam model, according to many leading men online, is to just sit back and show your feet for the camera. Ankles, arches and soles are the key to the sexual core of many voyeurs. The best cam dudes for this fetish are the ones flexible enough to footjob themselves by jerking with both feet until they reach the ultimate climax!
DILDO PLAY
A lot of guys on cam claim to be tops, but when the requests keep coming in for them to bottom, many are more than willing to push their preconceptions aside and explore new erogenous zones with their fans. Many customers love watching masculine men bend over and use their toys. It’s also not just about anal penetration; sometimes, oral sex with a dildo is the best way for a fan to enjoy his fantasy muse.
STRIPTEASE
Dance moves are one of the top choices, just because a lot of models move so well. The guys know how to perform and seduce, swinging their hips and swaying just enough to set the tone during a very erotic live sex show. Besides, having a male cam model go from stripteasing to full-on hardcore mode is one of the most empowering feelings a fan can experience online.
SPANKING
When a cam guy is kinky enough to get on all fours and turn his bottom red for his new master with a favorite paddle, BDSM fans become quite happy. Some customers want to see guys on camera smack themselves in a playful way, while others want them to do it with even more intensity. As with all aspects of camming, it’s about matching a fan with a model that shares their sexual sensibility so they can both enjoy their time online together.
FLEXING
Muscle is, and may always be, the key to attracting new fans. A lot of guys love watching cam studs flex their biceps, or share the secrets of their fitness regimen while demonstrating their best positions naked online. Plenty of models make the most of their muscles with close-up shots of their abs or legs and so much more. Sometimes, all it takes to make a good wad of cash is the ability to show off how hard you work on your body when you are at the gym.
If you didn’t see your favorite fetish mentioned, that’s totally fine. Cam models get hundreds of different requests every month from an awesome community of fans.
