5 Unexpected Things About Being a Camgirl
When I first decided to try being a camgirl, there were a lot of things that I expected. Rude guests, talking dirty, and having a LOT of orgasms. But there were a few things that I didn’t quite see coming.
All of the Lube
Seriously… Camgirls go through so much lube. I searched my bedroom just now, and managed to find 6 bottles of lube at varying degrees of emptiness. It’s on the bedside table, under the bed, on top of the chest of drawers. Seriously – this stuff is everywhere! But on the plus side, if me and my boyfriend are in the heat of the moment and need some lube, the chances are high that there will be some within arms reach!
Toy Clean Up and Storage
Remember that lube I was talking about just now? Well it makes things sticky. Very sticky. And I often go through a LOT of toys in a single show. All those lubed-up, sticky toys have to get cleaned up after the show, and often the last thing you want to do after having countless orgasms is to get up and start washing dildos in the sink. Alas, it needs to be done! On a regular day you can often find at least 3 dildos drying in my bathtub, either suction cupped to the sides, or just standing in the tub or on the sides! One day that will cause me some awkwardness when an unexpected visitor comes over, but as of yet, it’s been fine!
Storage is also an issue! I must have about 40-50 toys by now, and a lot of the dildos don’t enjoy being stored together, because if they touch, they start to melt! So toy storage is often a struggle in my house. The wardrobe in my bedroom houses my fuck machine, and it is often surrounded by suction cup dildos stuck to the bottom. I have a large drawer under my bed which has two plastic boxes full of vibrators, buttplugs and silicone dildos, and there are riding crops, paddles, rope, cuffs (metal and leather), gags, floggers and more. Then there are my UR3 dildos that are often lying on top of storage bags, suitably spaced so that they don’t accidentally touch each other and melt! I even have an old wooden chest that’s full of teenage diaries and – you guessed it – more toys.
Seriously, there are a lot, and the ones prone to melting need extra care.
Fuck Machine Maintenance
Who knew that becoming a camgirl meant that I would have to learn how to oil my fuck machine? Yep, if I don’t put oil on it often enough, it starts to get squeaky and makes quite an awful noise! Sometimes, if you visit my cam room, you’ll be lucky (!) enough to catch me naked and in the middle of my stream, pouring special lubricant onto my machine to try and stop that terrible squeaking noise!
Living in a Studio
What the Chaturbate members see of your bedroom, and what your bedroom actually looks like are two entirely different things. Let’s pretend for a second that we don’t just have a pile of clothes and other mess piled up in the corner that the webcam can’t see, we also have our lights, tripods, computers, microphones and other stuff taking up so much space in our bedrooms. I can only speak for myself but I tend to leave this stuff set up as it significantly decreases the amount of time it takes me to get on cam. But of course that means that I have to live with these things 24/7! Ethernet cables draped across the floor, LED panels taking up space, Blue Yeti just hanging around waiting to be knocked over! My bedroom doesn’t look like a normal bedroom, it looks like a film set! (A slightly messy one!)
Charging Sex Toys
Oh Lord. Who knew that every different rechargeable sex toy had to come with a different proprietary charging cable?! Seriously, can they not just all use USB-C? I ended up having to buy a 5-part charger just for charging toys, and far too often I forget to charge them at all. Picture this – you’re setting up for your regular cam show, and you realise that your Lovense Lush is completely dead. Not only that, now you’ve gotta dig through all of your drawers and down the side of your bed in the hopes of finding that goddamn proprietary charger that only exists for that one specific toy. I might start a petition to force companies to make a universal charging cable for all toys. Who’s with me?
