The other day I was looking through my favorite smut caches looking for trussed-up Mario princesses (as one does) when I came across this delicious Princess Daisy by Shaxbert, all undressed for dinner and tastily-garnished with lemons and limes and oranges:
But I have the cursed sort of porn-searching disease that leads me down rabbit holes. Maybe there aren’t so many artworks to be found of Mario princesses prepped deliciously for citrus-themed vore roleplay. Nonetheless, strumming those keywords hard enough leads to cosplay girls (who are wondrously inventive with fruit, and also with gaming characters) and their fan pages and their cams channels. But then in an unrelated tab I’ve got an old French-language graphic novel about voyeurism, and I notice something! It dawns on me: what a lucky voyeur sees through his naughty binoculars has a lot in common with what paying patrons of sex cams get to enjoy routinely. The difference, of course, is that no real life Peeping Tom ever gets as lucky as the binoculars-wielding creeps in those French comics. But a man who pays a camgirl properly (and tips her well) can get the peepshow of his dreams, whenever the fuck he wants it.
If you are a cams freeloader who hangs around in the public rooms waiting for something to happen, perhaps you’ve seen a performer preparing for her show, or enticing customers into a private room by doing a bit of a striptease as she gets out of her street clothes. Or by modeling a bit of fancy lingerie.
A lot of times, especially if they are waiting for a busier time or an expected paying customer, cams performers will just lounge, listening to musing and chatting or reading comic books. Wearing something sexy, of course, because they never know when somebody might see them and want to take things private!
I’m told there are habitual cams freeloaders out there — guys who never buy any tokens, or who just get a handful to use for negligible tips in pubic channels to get attention in chat. These “gents” don’t plan to buy private shows or sessions. And what do you know? They are the ones who you’ll see, sometimes, bitching on forums about how camgirls are boring, cams are stupid, how they can get so much more for their money picking up a “real” sex worker in an alley downtown. (Only they never say “sex worker” — it’s always some derogatory slang word.) I imagine these freebie maestros look a lot like this guy:
Of course there are many different cams business models, cam sites, and camgirl platforms, so no generalization will hold true everywhere. But this one has legs: for the best experience, being a generous gentleman is recommended! Suddenly you’ll start to see the sorts of things that even the luckiest voyeur rarely will, because women (no matter how freaky) are usually pretty careful about pulling the blinds and diving under the covers when they don’t intend to have an audience:
Nonetheless I did laugh heartily when I got to this next scene in the voyeur comic book. Because by then I was thinking explicitly about all the parallels with the camming world, and if these two panels aren’t the very vision of a private show with a toy, I don’t know how it could be drawn better!
Even though a lot of the most explicit cams work is done in private shows, I know there are some cams performers who’ve done very well by running large popular open rooms and doing various tricks and performances that attract lots and lots of simultaneous tips. Somewhere I saw a blog post (I can’t find it again now) where one performer said she imagined that the chiming noise her software makes each time there’s a big gift of tokens, signified another man having an orgasm. She said she eventually learned to sexualize that noise, and would become highly aroused when that chime started going off frequently. I can only imagine that when the chimes are coming hot and heavy, when she closes her eyes she pictures a scene that looks something like this:
