How to start working as a cam-sex performer
Turn your exhibitionism into a side-hustle.
It's never a bad idea to put the technology to work and let the world see every inch of your talents with a bit of webcam action.
But how do you ensure that your camera is getting your best angles? We’ve got some hot tips and tricks to make sure that you’re giving your audience what they want.
What is Gay Webcam sex?
Gay webcam sex is simply sexual activity that is being shared live via the internet.
It could be a one-to-one private show, or it could be a one-to-many performance, or it could be a virtual circle-jerk where everyone has a role to play.
It’s not hard to understand the appeal, but there are a number of reasons that might attract men to some webcam action.
Using a webcam can help you to retain your anonymity and ensure physical distance. It’s also ideal if you’re physically remote from other guys, or if you’re a bit of a solosexual. Webcams can also give you a taste of gay group sex from the comfort of your own home.
Are sex webcams safe?
Webcams are as safe as anything else on the internet, but it would be wise to take a number of precautions to ensure that you’re not exposing yourself to unnecessary risks.
The main risks you’re going to face are around privacy and data protection. Using a well-known streaming platform is a good starting point, as well as trying to focus your camming activities with other guys who are in a similar space as you.
While you can control what your camera records from your end, you don’t really have any control as to what someone watching that footage might do with it. That’s why it’s important to limit the amount of personal information that you share and never reveal details such as your home address or credit card number.
If you’re planning to meet someone in person after connecting with them via some webcam fun, minimise your risks by meeting them at your local cruising spot, a local bathhouse near you or even a coffee shop – make sure that they’re legit before inviting them back to your place.
Top tips for winning on webcam
Get comfortable
You might not want to start out completely naked – a bit of a reveal is always fun – but make sure that you’ve got some privacy and that you’re either nude or in some relaxed clothing that comes off easily.
Set the Mood
Like any other sexual encounter, setting the mood is essential for gay webcam sex – you want to create an environment that’s conducive to relaxation and pleasure. You can do this by dimming the lights, locking your bedroom door, and ensuring you won’t have any interruptions.
Get the Right Technology
You don’t have to spend big to deliver a quality webcam experience – these days, you can do a lot with a little.
While it is possible to webcam using your computer’s in-built camera and microphone, adding an external camera and microphone will boost your quality and give your audience a better show.
Make sure that you test your set-up – make sure that everything is working and optimise everything that is within your control.
Don’t forget about lighting! Getting your lighting right is massively important.
Show Off Your Best Assets
We all have that one thing we’re particularly proud of. Whether it’s your rock-hard abs or your massive cock, show it off! Nothing gets a guy going like seeing what he’s missing out on.
Be Vocal
Turn that speaker volume up and make sure everybody knows you’re having a good time. Sure, your webcam is a visual medium, but make sure that you’re engaging as many senses as possible – a bit of filthy talk will go a long way.
Show face
Don’t feel pressured into showing your face on camera unless that’s something that you’re ready to do. There’s heaps of reasons why you may need to remain anonymous or discreet. However, web-camming is hotter if you can properly see each other and you can see the pleasure on a guy’s face.
Role Play
Role-playing is a great way to spice things up and excite your gay sex life. Whether you’re the horny professor and your partner is the naughty student, or you’re the dominant CEO and your partner is the submissive intern, there are endless possibilities for role-playing. Lean into the context – what’s a sexy conversation that could be happening over a Zoom call?
Incorporate Gay Sex Toys
Props are always a good idea. If you’ve got gay sex toys at hand, let’s see what you can do with them! Try and pace your performance – remember, you want to build up to a big finish.
