Life After Camming

 

It feels a bit odd for me to write about life after camming, primarily because I'm just a year into it and enjoying myself. But, at the same time, there's a part of me that has always looked to the future to think about what direction I'd like to take my camming in.

Of course, I don't intend to cam forever, just like no performing artist wants to perform forever. Well maybe not Keith Richards, but let's leave him out of this. I feel that over time, people want to eventually shift to taking their art and using it in a way that helps the community. I've had similar thoughts - - I've often found myself wondering whether I'd one day consider mentoring younger camgirls who dive into the industry headfirst and feel lost because of a lack of proper guidance. I've already seen some of my favorite camgirls do this to varying degrees, by sharing e-books, courses, and even skype consulting. I feel that's such a wholesome way to nurture the community we're in, and it's something I'm going to enjoy doing because I'll make new friends as well!

On the other hand, I've often thought about going a different route and attempting somehow to bridge the gap between the "mainstream" and this rather niche "camming" space. Not a crossover, really, but more like "how can I do something that allows people outside of the camming niche to see that camgirls and their members are regular people?".

It's sad to say that there's still a lot of stigmatization in society, and people often criticize what they don't understand.
One of the reasons I began blogging was to blur that boundary and challenge the mainstream stereotype of perceiving camgirls as pure objects of desire and not real human beings.
All things considered, normalizing camming, normalizing the expression of human sexuality and eroticism is something I'd love to be able to work towards. I'm 22 now, so of course, there's a long way to go - - and I'm sure I'll have many friends and allies by the time I'm ready to make that shift!
