Cam Sex 101: Stay Safe and Avoid Potentially Dangerous

The internet has provided us with many ways to meet people from all across the world. While most of us use the web to communicate socially or to build professional connections, there is a growing desire to find sexual partners. And who says you need to meet these partners in person? Sometimes, having a quick masturbation session online in the presence of another person is just what you want!

Through a jerk off cam, it's super easy to find someone to jerk off with. That could be male and female, two males, two females, trans individuals, or anything else. Sometimes, it's just nice to know that you've hit your sweet spot in the presence of another person. However, safety is crucial here. How do you stay safe if you are using a cam site as a performer or just as an individual?

Keep Your Identity Secret

First and foremost, make sure that nothing in your profile or your visual appearance gives you away. If you have distinctive tattoos that are easily spotted or identifiable, cover them. If you have anything in your background that could make it obvious where you are or what you do, hide it as well.

Make your cam site identity as anonymous as possible. Nothing should be tied back to your personal or professional life. Despite being increasingly normal, there's still a stigma attached to being a cam performer or a user of such sites; do what you can to avoid being identified if you can.

Only Use Reputable Platforms

We mentioned Jerkam above as a platform, but you should do your research into other jerk off cam sites you trust. There are several reputable and safe options, such as Chaturbate. If you go too far down the listings, though, you can find yourself on sketchy sites that scrape your data or even have built-in vulnerabilities in the website code. Stick to big-name, reputable platforms.

Know Your Jerk Off Partner

If you start jerking off with someone on a semi-regular basis, be sure to try and do a bit of research. Even just running their username through a search could be a good place to start. Some users have a track record of trying to coerce people, blackmailing, recording sessions without permission, etc.

Know who you are dealing with, and it makes it much easier for you to climax in comfort. If you are ever unsure about someone or they make you feel uneasy or uncomfortable, find another partner. The number of people jerking off online means you never have to settle for a creep or someone dangerous!

Understand What You Are Being Asked

Look, you can find yourself in the heat of the moment, doing something a little outside your comfort zone. That could be using a toy on your ass, for example, or doing something you would normally not consider. Know what you are being asked to do, understand its potential pleasures and risks, and recognise that there is always a chance this is some kind of setup or scam-type situation.

Again, if you feel uncertain or uncomfortable about a request, say no. If the other user persists, block them and move on to find someone more amenable to your own pleasures.

Be Courteous

When jerking off on a cam site, whether you are a performer or simply a viewer, always be courteous. Many people – normally those commenting without putting any money towards a performer – can be demanding, rude, and even threatening. Avoid being that person. If you are jerking off with someone in a cam to cam situation, don't make demands of them; if they say no, find common ground.

If you are a performer jerking off for a group, do your best to ignore the hurtful or abusive comments. If someone gets demanding or degrading, or starts sounding dangerous, have them removed from the chat. There are usually moderators in place who can help to avoid this kind of situation from occurring.

Only Involve Money When You Are Certain

In some cases, you might jerk off with someone often enough that you want to give them a little something back. That could be sending them a financial gift, or even arranging to send them something to wear during your next jerk-off session together. However, avoid getting forced into a situation where you have to pay. Payments are at your discretion; they are never guaranteed.

If you are a performer, avoid paying anyone who asks for it. You get weird requests asking for payment details, etc., that are genuinely just scams; only accept payments through the jerk off cam site you work through. Yes, you will pay a commission or fee to the cam site, but it ensures the money gets to you without taking risks with your security or safety.

Keep these thoughts in mind, and your jerk-off experiences should be smoother and safer. Whether you are performing just for one other gooner or for an audience, these tips should help you stay safe and avoid potentially dangerous situations. Good luck, have fun, and enjoy the finish to your next show!
