Physical distancing has given people a whole new understanding of what it means to be horny. For single folks, the 6 foot rule has essentially prohibited intimacy, leading to a surge in the use of live sex webcams.

According to the New York Times, live-streaming and e-commerce websites like ManyVids and CamSoda are doing record business. Popular adult entertainment site — and recent Beyoncé shout-out — OnlyFans reported a 75 percent increase in overall sign-ups in March, for a total of 3.5 million new accounts.

With so many new eyes on live sex websites, we wanted to get insights directly from the cam models. Nikki Night, coach and trainer for VXPages, and webcam model Allie Awesome were generous enough to sit down with us to help newbs and regulars alike get (respectfully) situated in the world of webcamming.

Even if you don’t know, models usually have a good idea of a viewer’s needs within the first few minutes.

“We ask what we should call them in a private session to get a better idea of what they want,” Night says, explaining that if they answer with a “real” name, then they’re generally after a girlfriend experience (GFE), which tends to be more emotional in nature. If they answer with something taboo like “bitch,” “sissy,” or “slave,” then they want more of a BDSM-style show.

Models usually let the viewer take the lead, but they can sense nervous energy and will take over to spare discomfort. “We just have to be prepared to either strip down nude or ask them questions when they want a GFE type of thing,” Night says. “It all comes down to asking the right questions.”
Respect the agreementWhen you start a session with a model, the agreement is that you’ll abide by their rules and limits. Don’t choose a model you’re attracted to who explicitly says they won’t do a specific act, hoping they’ll do it once you get to know them. This is manipulative behavior and, generally, not a very healthy way to establish relationships.
2. Read their profile before making any movesModels each have their own limits and specialties. Most will let you know what they will and won’t do via their profile on their “model menu.” If they don’t have one, you can tune in to a live session and see for yourself.

Most models will also have a personalized “chat etiquette” in their profile that you can (and should) consult.
3. Earn their trust by sticking to good etiquetteUnfortunately, models are susceptible to scams and “time-wasters” and can therefore be weary of newcomers. Generally, all you need to do to establish yourself as trustworthy is be respectful and friendly and tip when you can. But don’t take it personally if a model declines your request for a private show in the very beginning.

“Chat rooms have consequences the same as in real life, so bad manners, attitudes, or intentions will get you quickly banned from the room,” Night says.

For viewers looking to fast-track their fan status (meaning you get in a model’s good graces by regularly tuning in, tipping, and being respectful), it’s especially important to follow these pieces of advice.
Quick tips for not being a jerk

1. Say hello as you join a room and engage in chat when it’s appropriate, says Night. This will help dedicated fans and room members warm up to you faster.
2. Do not — do not — recklessly type the acts you want a webcam model to perform without tipping. They’re people, not puppets.
3. Compensate in some way. “If tipping through tokens isn’t your thing, join their fan club if they have one, subscribe to their monthly content, sign up on their personal website, see if they have an Amazon wish list. These will be listed somewhere in their profiles,” says Night.
