it's a lucrative industry, I hear.

Mostly they tell me they are free but in order to see them, I have to give up a CC number.  I tell them  no fucking way am I giving up a CC number just to see her play with herself.  After a while, I just mark them as IM spam.  Never give out your CC number to someone you have no idea who they are!!!!!

Why should I pay to watch them play with themselves when I can pay a live girl to play with me???  Hello!!!!!

Swim

I do. About 5 nights each week. Along with checking the boards.

I would much rather spend the additional $ for real human contact than a cyber experience.

Even before I started hobbying, this would have been seen as a foolish waste of $.   Back then, I would have just gone out to the strip clubs, and been able to see all the naked ladies I wanted.  Additionally, it was easy to interact with them via lapdances, and some would stop by for a drink between sets after you got to know them  And always there was the possibility that you might be asked for a ride somewhere at the end of the night, which lead with a few ladies ultimately to...  

Maybe there are hobbyists out there that do go in for the webcam thing, but this hobbyist is not one of them...

Ah fuck that shit!...

Lady, you can't be considering that sort of thing?!

Please don't.

Nope, I already get teased at work and in personal life. I don't need to pay for it.

If I pay for media entertainment as it relates to "adult entertainment", I simply wont do it. I did however subscribe to a couple of porno sites in the past, nothing in relations to webcam. IMO, webcam is a tease. Sure, you can ask the person to take directions, but, at the end of the day, she'll be 1,000 miles away, and you r masturbating to yourself.

Its kinda like a strip-club. You go in, pay money, and leave with a boner. Rarely, but it can occur, you'll leave with a stripper.

My preferences: if I pay for webcam, I might as well not pay and save the money for an escort. Webcams r a tease, and its for boys. Men play with girls, and boys play with technology. JMO, don't strangle me for it

Hell NO!!

I don't go to porn sites or cam sites once they get your e-mail adress you get spammed and not by the girls them selves but by a spam program that has your e-mail adress. so any one that thinks that they are getting e-mailed or IMed by those cute girls think again and by answering them you are only digging your self deeper into their spam program.

Often I'm only aware of them when I have the sound on, and I overhear their chatter; then I see that a window to them is open by checking the bar on the bottom of my screen.

I've checked them out once or twice, but they seem rather dumb to me.

All titillation, so to speak, and no action.
