Getting Started
Q: Do I need to be hung/ripped/young?
No. I'm average everything and make $10K/month. Personality and consistency matter more than your dick size. There's an audience for every body type.
Q: Can I hide my face?
Yes, but you'll make 70% less. Viewers want connection. Masks/hidden faces work but drastically reduce earnings. Your choice: privacy or profit.
Q: How much can I realistically make?
Month 1: $500-2000. Month 3: $2000-5000. Month 6: $3000-8000. Year 1: $50-100K. Depends entirely on consistency and effort.
Q: Which site should I use?
Chaturbate. Period. Most traffic, most money, easiest to start. Don't waste time on other sites until you're making $5K/month.
The Gay Question
Q: Will this make me gay?
No. 2 years in, still 100% straight. You're performing for money, not pleasure. It's a job. Actors kiss people they're not attracted to. Same concept.
Q: Do I have to do gay stuff?
No. You jerk off. That's it. No interaction, no meetups, no actual gay activity. You're alone in your room the entire time.
Q: What if viewers want more?
Say no. Set boundaries. They'll respect them or leave. Plenty more viewers where they came from.
Privacy & Safety
Q: Will people find out?
Unlikely if you're smart. Use geo-blocking, fake name, separate email. I've been doing this 2 years, nobody knows except who I've told.
Q: What about recordings?
Your shows will be recorded and posted online. Accept this or don't cam. DMCA takedowns work but it's whack-a-mole. Price of doing business.
Q: Is this legal?
100% legal if you're 18+. You're an adult entertainer. Pay your taxes, follow site rules, you're good.
Money & Taxes
Q: How do I get paid?
Direct deposit weekly. Sites handle everything. Money hits your account every Tuesday (Chaturbate). Simple as that.
Q: What about taxes?
You're self-employed. Save 30% for taxes. Sites send 1099 forms. Hire an accountant or use TurboTax. Don't evade taxes - IRS will find you.
Q: Can this be a full-time job?
Yes. I quit my $60K job after 6 months. Now make double working half the hours. But save money first - need 6-month cushion.
Relationships
Q: What if I have a girlfriend?
Tell her or don't. 50/50 shot she's cool with it. The money helps. Lying about it always ends badly. Your call.
Q: Is this cheating?
Depends who you ask. You're alone, jerking off for money. Some say yes, some say no. Have the conversation before starting.
Real Talk
Q: Will I regret this?
Maybe. I don't. The $180K in savings helps. You'll have complicated feelings. The money makes them manageable.
Q: What's the hardest part?
Consistency. Showing up when you don't want to. Smiling when you're not feeling it. Like any job, but naked.
Q: Should I start?
If you need money and can handle judgment, yes. If you're deeply religious or need everyone's approval, no. Only you know your situation.
