Is it normal to work as an adult webcam model for money?

The past few years have been shit for me and my family. We (my husband and I) are not idiots, we both had decent careers and a moderately comfortable life. A few years ago things got bad, laid off etc. I signed up for an adult site where I perform various(solo) acts for money. Sometimes all the guys want is for me to talk to them. Other times they want me to masturbate,watch them dress up in lingerie,jerk off whatever. I mean I've seen and been asked to do all sorts of things. I have the liberty of saying no to any request, for example, I refuse to do any kind of anal, If don't feel comfortable I don't do it. I never really get off, only a time or two it's all an act and most of these guys if you saw them would repulse you to the point of vomiting. They can't touch me, I can block my hometown and other cities. I use a fake name and a whole fake personality and everything. My husband of course wishes I could find another way to make money and so do I but at the time it's the most I can make and I am safe at home. I don't make $2,000 a week like the ads say. Maybe some models do but seeing their surroundings I would say they are just trying to make it like myself. I could probably make a lot more than I do if I had the patience to listen to the bullshit for more than a few hours a day.My husband does work also so he's not some bum living off his woman while she strips. I'm not a nympho. I don't LOVE it,but I don't hate it either. I have the freedom to work from my apartment,I get paid on time each week and I answer to no one.If I'm sick I don't have to call anyone, If I want to go to the damn Renaissance fair or comic book convention or a concert I don't have to ask for the day off. I just go. I know this is an odd way to make a living but is it normal? Am I crazy for choosing to do this or should I go to fast food or the supermarket? (Not that any of those are hiring in my town either)
INN?

    Honestly?

    There's only one danger I can see, no matter what your living situation is. And that's exposing your family to any kind of social danger (what if someone who knows you sees you).

    But, if you're single, it's your life.

    If you're not single, (I see you say you're married), then I think a normal guy would find it painful to be in a relationship with someone doing that. It surely would take a very strong and very understanding man to be ok with that.

    Is it worth it? You said you don't make $2,000 per week, but do you make enough for it to be worth it? I was considering this myself in tough times, but I'm having a struggle with it. I wonder if there is any less provocative webcam work out there than doing the nasty requests?

      If you want to try something try phone sex hotline. They make really good money and you can work from home.

    Hmmm, $2000/week would be nice. Do they have to see your face? It wouldn't be my dream job, but I sure could use the cash right now! My day job just ain't cuttin it :(

      lol
      you don't have to show your face i guess but most of us do. I wear fake hair and tons of make up. i don't think i would be recognized on the street. 2000 a week...hmmm i think is a little unrealistic, but you can earn enough to pay some bills if you work at it. :)

    Well if it's a way Ronald money and irbil with it then it's not that bad. Though personally I don't agree with it. I'm sure u could find another job somewhere else that wouldn't be so um degrading I guess. Sorry if that's offensive.

        Honestly fast food places are hit and miss right now. People will always pay for sex. You need the money so you are not just doing it to be a slut. Its normal you enjoy having convenient hours and it is difficult when you can only work certien hours and you simply cant get them. No its not something everyone would want to do but I dont blame you for doing what you need to get by. Im sorry things are hard for you. Everyone is getting laid off right now. I wish you well and don't hate yourself. Its understandable why you do it. I don't think we can blame you for that. God bless you and your husband.
