Im a cam performer, and have made friends who are as well. I can tell you that it is entirely possible to date and be in a serious relationship, as well as marry and have kids and all that fun stuff. Were not lepers or anything...once the act is over and he cam is off, we're just regular folk like everyone else

All the same...not everyone realizes that and it would be naive to think that we woudlnt be judged for what we do. I didnt tell my bf until I was very sure that he was serious about me...and I wanted to be honest with him. He took it in total stride...he asked a bunch of questions, and once he established that there is zero contact between me and any other guys, he was totally comfortable with it. There are guys who are uncomfortable with it...and thats totally fine, not everone has to like what everyone else does. But there are plenty of guys who will take it for what it is...a job. And not make it a big deal...cause it really isnt one.

Someone asked if one could actually make a living, like waiting tables or something? I really dont know how much someone waiting tables makes...but...I do know that when it was my only source of income for a few months there, I was able to handle my expenses no problem, which at that time amounted to about $4k a month. Its a legitimate job, I pay my taxes on it, it doesnt just pay the bills, its an honest living.

That's not disqualifying. Who hasn't modeled nude these days? Everyone's naked photo's on the Net. Plus, you wouldn't want to be with a guy who goes all freaky over your modeling.

In my 20's, I even modeled nude for a college art class.

No big deal.

Now if you were a porn performer I would have issues with that because of health, not morality.

guys, would u consider dating a girl who does this for a living? better yet, would you MARRY a girl that does this? input plz

I'm a girl, but I'm going to weigh in based on the little I know/have experienced. I'm into photography, just as a hobby, but it has put me in contact with all kinds of people - models, other photographers, etc. What I've learned is that men who are themselves in some kind of industry that involves nude modeling, etc. are much more understanding and open-minded, and think nothing of dating a nude model, stripper, whatever.

I've noticed that girls who do nude modeling, and who's bfs aren't photographers or otherwise a part of that industry, have huge issues with it, and after many fights they end up breaking up.

That's just a general trend that I've seen.

There probably are some guys who are just openminded and confident and wouldn't care, but my feelings are that that's probably pretty rare.
