I thought it was a reason able question. They can work from a studio or home, so it would be safer. They can make a ton of money, depending upon what they are willing to do and how many hours they are willing to work.
They can set their own hours.
Webcam girls come in all shapes, sizes, and ages. Many much older than the OP are doing quite well.
Countries, and areas within a country can be blocked, to keep people that you don't want to know what you are doing from finding out online. Seems like it would be easier to protect your identity than if stripping in a club.
Also, there are webcam girls that dance and make good money while probably showing less skin than OP does.
Sorry I overlooked that question.
No, I'm not interested in becoming a webcam girl. I don't even know what that is, but I imagine it would involve my computer and my home. So...not interested.
Why do you have such a high opinion of yourself?
Why shouldn't she? And what does that have to do with webcam stripping versus strip club stripping?
Her whole attitude is "I am above prostitution" "I am above using my home" "I don't want to see erect penises"
So you think op shouldn't have a right to set boundaries?
She takes her clothes off for strangers for money, having boundaries at this point is kinda ridiculous
So you would feel exactly the same if your husband looked at someone else's naked breasts as if he had intercourse with a prostitute?

You don't seem to understand the difference between a stripped and a prostitute. She doesn't want to have sex with you, okay?

Yes, I would never have the self confidence to do what you do*, and I definitely don't have the breasts (unless you like your nipples at navel level). Speaking of which, are most of your coworkers' bodies natural, or is breast augmentation common among strippers?
*I am talking both about stripping AND about setting up an AMA about it-- brave woman!

I know you don't do it, but can you give us any advice on how one of us may succeed in hooking up with a stripper? Is there a particular technique that could result in getting a stripper to join a client in a hotel after work? Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks!
We did. I job hunted for nearly a year months - and landed a few promising interviews - before I came to the sad realization that I just wasn't going to find a job that was both flexible and paid enough to be worth it (to cover the cost of childcare). Stripping was something I'd always been curious about, and I asked my husband if he'd be okay with my going to an amateur night (many clubs have these as a means to recruit new dancers) - he was.
I felt ambivalent and nervous as hell at first, but I walked away from that experience the first night feeling empowered and alive in a new way. Maybe it was the addict in me responding to something, but it was a really, really good feeling. My husband and I talked about it at length, really explored the implications and various possibilities that come along with doing this job, and I decided to try it - knowing, of course, that I could quit at anytime.
The first few weeks (months, really) presented a huge learning curve. It's easy to dismiss stripping and strippers as your "last resort" type of work (like waitressing) but there really is a lot to learn. About self-presentation (and self-preservation - it's easy to get f*cked in the head doing this job), sales (all the job really is), and ultimately about human nature. It has a very dark side, undeniably so. But I value these experiences.
I am curious to know if stripping has changed your sex-life at home? Are you more open, daring, kinky? Or are you more reserved with DH, because you do not want him to think that your moves are something you are absorbing from your work life?
If your DH and you are cool with it, more power to you! I think we may have become as a society less liable to become shocked with nudity, thanks to celebrities like the Kardashians, Miley Cyrus, and the nude photo hacking of hollywood A listers like JLaw.

I'm sure you are beautiful, PP. To be frank, it's really hard not to be overly obsessed with how my body looks given what I'm doing for money now - I no longer eat sweets, can't really enjoy a glass of wine (too many calories), and just don't really enjoy eating in a relaxed way anymore.
The flexibility of the job is nice, though. But it's a strange experience most people can't relate to - unlike working at an office. I do feel like a freak sometimes. I can't be open about what I'm doing for money. There are downsides, believe me!
