There’s sex work, webcamming doesn’t hold the best reputation. It’s often seen as exploitation or a last-resort hustle to settle debt, but Reed Amber, 26, explains how webcam models are just your average self-employed freelancers with the same amount of agency and independence anyone else.

Model, producer and co-creator of YouTube channel ComeCurious, Reed is actually the physical embodiment of sex positivity, which she defines as “trying to generate people think that what they’re doing as well as what they’re into isn’t wrong, it’s normal and it’s absolutely fine.” She’s a huge advocate for removing stigma and taboos around sex, and we trapped with her for more information on webcamming, a distinctive line of sex work that’s seldom mentioned.

Exactly why do you think that some men, and in all likelihood women at the same time, prefer it to porn?
“There’s much free porn i feel webcamming is a bit more of an personal one-on-one. You’ll be able to use the internet and discover any ol’ stuff, but webcamming is more personal; it’s tailored exactly as to the you would like along with what you’re searching for. You’re not sharing it with 100 thousand other folks. Here is your show. More often than not you increase your relationship, I speak to you like a friend and I respect you as a person. ‘How has your mood been, what have you achieve with a home shops, precisely what are you cooking for dinner…’ it’s just like an online relationship”

…So it’s similar to the ‘girlfriend experience’?
“Yes, it’s very much like the girlfriend experience. However that also is determined by what are the webcam model is like and also what the person paying is like because people want something else entirely.”

Have you had avoid a request?
“I’m one in the cam girls who’d almost never refuse. I’ve always aspired to try something totally new, but that’s not since i felt like I needed to. It’s just personally a few things i need to do. I must tick stuff off my list, I wish to it is able to once specially when it comes to sex positivity. Even when it’s something I’m definitely not into, I’d still try it. Only didn’t like it, I’d end up like ‘sorry, I’m definitely not into that.’ But there’s lots of people that would say no to almost everything.”

What are the really common requests you will get?
“It is dependent upon the profile which you build because if you come up with a profile, you write just a little bio with regards to you, and my bio may be viewed as a somewhat more ‘out there’. I’m offered to anything, like roleplay, so most of the time I buy roleplay requests, more even though I have discovered them fun regardless how unusual or bizarre they’re. What excites me are uncommon and strange requests that you simply wouldn’t really find. Life’s too boring otherwise”

How does someone react when you let them know everything you do?
“I get yourself a blend of emotions. Mostly people react positively because of the way I take a look at it. It’s so different if you’re really shy and timid and quiet regarding it. It immediately sends out this concept of ‘oh they’re not completely ok with it.’

Basically you can become your sex-positive self to your full potential…
“Exactly! That’s where I received my first taste of sex positivity. Under-going my relationships on and on to university I became like ‘woah, nobody thinks the way I do, I have to be weird’. Being a webcam model, I realised most people are into something more important, they merely feel as if they can’t discuss it.”
