The Boyfriend Question

There's only one question I get more then "can you show me your _____?" And that is, "do you have a boyfriend?"  I approached this question a lot differently when I started camming then I do now, but then again I think I've changed a lot since then.  

When I first started I always said no, I wanted to appear more available.  I thought if I were single and a guy thought he had a chance with me I'd make more money.  In retrospect it probably did but it also made a lot of them really pushy and they decided that I owed them something more then a show.  Like my number, phone calls and text messages, or an actual date.  I cammed steadily in my first year and when I moved into a housing situation that wasn't as allowing of it I backed off for quite a while.  When I came back to it my response to the boyfriend question was different.

The truth is I have a boyfriend. And yes, he knows.  And no, he's not upset about it, nor does he demand money from me for doing it.  He is my boyfriend, not an Internet pimp.  It was kind of his idea for me to start doing it!  It was one of those things that we joked about at first but it was enough for me to look into it.  When I asked him how he felt about me actually perusing it he was super supportive.  He knows I'm an overly sexual exhibitionist and saw it, more then anything, as a career opportunity. 

I'm lucky in my life that I've been really open about being a camgirl to the friends and family close to me and have received nothing but support.  I'm also really lucky that its not my actual job so I don't have to compromise my sense of self for money.  I do what I want, I have fun with it, and I'm honest about what you get when you're in my room.  If that means I make less because you don't like my relationship status then I didn't want what you had to offer me anyway.
