Cam Girls

When I was in my early twenties and perpetually horny, the avenue to turn to when I couldn't get a date (by which I mean always) was phone sex. For a fee, you could talk to a woman who would talk dirty to you until you were satisfied. You paid by credit card, and the first thing I did when I got my first credit card was call a phone sex line.

Nowadays, I don't know if there are any phone sex lines anymore. Technology has changed so much that now lonely hearts and sex addicts can go to Web sites where they can actually watch people having sex. The women who perform in these little shows are called cam girls, and they are legion. There are many different sites, but the one I like is Chaturbate. Logging on you see a bunch of thumbnails, seen above, and pick your desire. They are categorized by women, men, couples, and trans.

Unlike phone sex operators, who didn't have to be attractive (I suspect most of the ones I talked to were not) cam girls are the real thing. There are all types from all over the globe, but most of them are lookers. Some of them are downright gorgeous. A few sites feature famous pornographic actresses.

The best thing about Chaturbate is that it's free. The girls will usually only respond to tips, which are purchased. The company keeps 40 percent. Some of the girls are on all the time, so they must be doing pretty well with it. The usual act is for them to tease, removing clothing as they reach a tip goal. Others are much more accommodating, and will get right down to it whether they are tipped or not.

The couples are interesting. There is one couple I enjoy that are on almost every night. He's much older, and has a prodigious member. They clearly love each other and the sex is passionate. Another couple has the wife doing various things to her husband's asshole. I imagine couples like this had a conversation that went roughly like, "We could use some extra money. Have you heard about these web-cam outfits?"

The girls, of course, have different approaches. Some girls never say a word, while others are chatty and seem to enjoy talking to their fans (the viewers type their comments). Guys will be so enamored of their favorites that they will just hang with the girl (I found myself watching a beautiful girl fold her laundry). One beautiful young girl doesn't say much, and proclaims she is a virgin (so she won't stick a dildo you know where). Many of the girls have something called a Lovense, which is a pink thingy that they secure in their vaginas or buttholes. It buzzes when the sound of a tip comes over the computer, so a guy can sort of help get her off by tipping. Men are so pathetic.

I usually check the site once a day, but don't watch it for long. I think if I was 22 I wouldn't be able to tear myself away, but I'm jaded enough now that it doesn't mean a big deal to me. My favorite cam girl is someone who is genuine and enjoys connecting with her fans, and even shares her life with them (although she uses a false name). She talks about her diabetes, and even went online to express her emotions after her cat died. I think I'm in love with her.

Cam girls take their jobs seriously. Many have a professional set up, with the latest in web-cams and professional lighting. The HD images are sharp, so when a girl looks right in the camera you feel like she's looking at just you. It's all perfectly legal, with no risk of STDs or rape or any of the other unpleasantries of prostitution. It may perpetuate the delusions of some men who live in a fantasy world (like me), but it's all pretty harmless. Cam girls think of themselves as sex workers, who are providing a valued service. By gum, I agree with them.
