My fiancé James and I have been together for seven years. We're happily in love and I truly feel that I've met my soulmate; we've grown together, travelled the world and currently enjoy a somewhat unconventional lifestyle.
We've lived together in a camper van since December 2016 and over the past few months, as we've travelled through the U.S., we have begun to "cam" together online. Many people might be unfamiliar with the term "camming". It means that James and I enjoy having sex with each other on a webcam for viewers from across the world.
Despite our openness now, James and I actually both grew up in California
in very traditional households where attitudes towards sex were old-fashioned, and sexual openness and expression were generally repressed. So, when we met, I think we were excited to be able explore our sexuality together.
After a few years together, we decided in 2016 that we wanted to travel around the U.S. We're open to everything and we didn't want to be held back by living in one place—we were desperate to witness America's wonderful quirks and beautiful geography firsthand.
Of course, we were nervous and apprehensive about the prospect of living in a camper van, but we made every effort to prepare ourselves. James read countless books on living in vehicles and we purchased all of the essentials for life on the road, like cooking equipment, mobile and off grid electricity, shower equipment and storage systems.
Truthfully, not every day has been glamorous; we've survived scorching nights without fans or air conditioning, spent nights in the desert without phone signal and most of the time we only have each other for company. However, we wouldn't have it any other way. This nomadic lifestyle has allowed us to focus on what's really important to us and our relationship is stronger than it's ever been.
We were happily driving our van around America when we first discovered camming. We had watched a few models giving webcam performances and read articles detailing the industry and it definitely sparked our interest.
The ability to earn money directly while performing intimate acts was like nothing we'd ever seen before, and after a while we decided that we wanted to give it a try. James and I are both rock climbers so we're very aware of the power of fear; we try to welcome it and find excitement in venturing outside of our comfort zones. So we started, got hooked and have never looked back.
Our camming routine usually starts a few hours before we actually go live. I put on make-up and James sets up our webcam chat room on Chaturbate, an adult website where viewers can watch webcam performances. People can join our chat room and we have a tip menu that viewers can use as a pricing chart for specific acts.
For example, if someone wants to see my feet, we charge 37 tokens which costs $1.85 in "real" money. More explicit acts are priced at a higher tip rate, and people will pay accordingly depending on what they want to see. We have regulars in our chat room who
are really engaged, some even moderate it for us so that we can keep performing! Since we began camming full time around two months ago, we have earned around $5,000 from camming alone, and our audience is growing rapidly.
Even though we are sharing our sex life with others who may be coming to watch just one of us, we rarely get jealous. And if we ever do feel small amounts of jealousy, we make time to talk about it and give each other reassurance. Communication is key. However, camming, like any job, can lead to stress and cause disagreements. We experience friction like any other couple who work together. What's important to us is addressing any emotional swings with curiosity and trying to remain open minded.
The fact we cam together also makes a big difference; we're a partnership and everything we do is discussed and agreed upon. If we've bickered, our strategy is to take a day off and cuddle. We both really enjoy this lifestyle so when our moods are down it's usually our bodies telling us to take a break. I'm now 26 and James is 32, and if anything, camming has helped us to better understand one another and what we both like, discovering new elements of our sexuality, like submissive/dominant play, that we can enjoy together.
We are aware that people may not like us or our choice to cam, but it often feels that their attitudes are shaped by misplaced stereotypes about adult performers. However, we understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion. We accept those who don't approve of what we do as part of the beauty of diversity; we find it important to remember that without different perspectives, our learning and growth would become stagnant.
Our future plans are vague and open to change—but that's what makes for great adventures. We got engaged in August 2020, but a wedding seems a little far fetched during a global pandemic. So, our current plan is to learn as much as we can whilst we stabilize our lifestyle, settle down and continue to grow.
We have agreed on one thing; we won't be stopping camming any time soon.
Misty Snow and James Caldwell are an engaged couple from the U.S. who cam together professionally online. Using Chaturbate, the pair perform sexual acts on webcam for viewers from across the world whilst living in a camper van as they travel the U.S.

I 'm in Eevie's bedroom watching her work. She's wearing a little black dress and drinking merlot from a shatterproof wineglass one of her viewers sent her after she'd broken a real one on camera. She makes almost $400 in the 45 minutes I'm with her, and she doesn't do much besides talk to me (offscreen) about camming.
Eevie—like many of the models I spoke to for this article—broadcasts herself through the site MyFreeCams, or MFC. ("EevieLain" is her screen name.) Generally speaking, models get tipped via tokens (which translate to real cash) to masturbate on camera, but they can also create "topics" that aren't sexual at all. Right now, Eevie's goal topic is taking off her dress, and most of the tips coming in are for her topic of drinking wine. Neither she nor her viewers seem in a hurry to reach the topic. Most of her viewers right now are her "friends," who seem happy just to hang out, listen to her talk, and reminisce about their shared stories.
They love to remember the coffee stand.
"People still come into my room asking about the coffee stand," says Eevie. "Everyone misses it."
Eevie got her start camming by setting up her laptop inside the bikini barista drive-through espresso stand she was working at, which is apparently a novelty to people around the world. "People just started flooding into my room. Like, 'Holy shit, there's a girl in her underwear in public.'"
The rules have changed since then. Earlier this year, an Oregon State University student was caught broadcasting from the school library, and now MFC no longer allows its models to cam in public. But almost three years later, visitors to Eevie's room still ask for the coffee stand. The history of Eevie's camming career is collective, a mutual memory that builds and changes with the people she's connected to, and the stories Eevie told me were my first exposure to how personal and meaningful camming relationships can become.
One person Eevie seems excited to see in her room is Boggers (that's his chat screen name). "Hi, Boggers! Did you just get here?" she says.
He replies in the group chat box: "i haven't been around all day but Sarah has been watching." I ask Eevie who Sarah is, and she says that's Boggers's wife. (Sarah's name has been changed for this article.) Boggers asks if Eevie has told me "their story."
He explains over private message: "Eevie has been great, we liked her from the first time we saw her just a real genuine person not fake and all about the tokens and stuff. Which was really nice for us because my wife got sick 13 years ago at age 23. First diagnosed with ALS then Lyme disease now it is 13 years later and she is basically paralyzed from the neck down and I take care of her full time. All of our friends left when she got sick and Eevie has been so sweet she is like family." Boggers says Eevie gives them advice about their teenage daughter, they have each other's personal phone numbers, and she's planning to visit them.
We get a Snapchat a few minutes later from Boggers—it's a photo of middle-aged couple, the woman in a wheelchair, both smiling into the camera and waving, captioned "hi interviewer."
"There's another couple I wound up getting really close to," Eevie tells me after I meet Boggers and Sarah. "They were a younger couple, they had a 2-year-old boy at the time, and they'd been trying to get pregnant again for like a year, and it wasn't working. They watched me, sometimes together and sometimes separate." When the couple finally got pregnant and received the results of the gender test, "They made a video of them opening the envelope together and sent it to me that day, and they named their little girl Eevie Juliet."
It's not that crazy to imagine this kind of intimacy and fondness developing between long-distance friends over years—what's surprising is that these connections grew out of a form of sex work. But this level of emotional investment is exactly where the appeal of webcams resides—it's not like any other kind of porn. It's real, it's live, it's interactive, and it's relationship-based. A cam session is usually hours long, and most of that is spent talking.
"Even when I was camming vigorously almost every day to raise money for my move, I would still only masturbate [on camera] maybe four times a month," said another cam model I met with who goes by the screen name Bambi. "It's a lot less sexual than people think. Especially if you're a medium-income cam girl, it's a lot more about the community... If you're just interested in hanging out all night because you just got off work and you have no girlfriend or friends, then it's a nice two hours. We talk, I make jokes, we listen to music, and I smoke weed and they can drink with me or smoke with me, and it's kind of like hanging out.
"The younger guys are people who work too much, like car mechanics and a lot of blue-collar jobs where they just come home and they're exhausted, and they don't want to go out, and they just want someone to talk to," Bambi continued. "And then there's the whole other clientele, which is married men who aren't getting laid."
These demographics kind of surprised me—all the models I talked to emphasized that most of their regulars are unhappily married men or workaholics, not lonely, single social pariahs. And to further Bambi's emphasis on the community experience, there is a community among these viewers, too. The men recognize each other in rooms, greet each other, and start friendships and feuds. The models refer to the people who regularly hang out in their room as "their guys" and talk about them as a crew, a posse, or a group of friends.
"It's really cute," Bambi said. "My guys will stick up for me. If I do have some basic or random guest who's like, 'Show me your asshole,' these guys will be like, 'Get the fuck out of here.' It's a community of people jerking off to you, but they're also your homies. It's really strange."
Filmmaker Sean Dunne interviewed dozens of models—and a few of their fans—for his recent documentary Cam Girlz , which was shot partially in Seattle. He said one guy described the experience as "less like a strip club and more like a pub with a hot bartender who everyone wants to make laugh," which seems pretty accurate. Another described the models as "therapists who get naked."
"I think the main appeal, for both models and members, is the instant connection," Dunne wrote in an e-mail. "People need that outlet... Camming is like love on tap, and as the community grows and evolves, it only becomes more nuanced and plentiful."
S o what's the money like? It varies wildly, though several models I spoke to said that on MFC, the average is $20 an hour. This $20 "average," however, includes the models in the top rooms making six figures a month and those making less than a cent an hour. Even women with moderately reliable camming incomes, like Bambi, can sometimes earn hundreds of dollars and other times nothing at all. (The sites that host the rooms take a significant cut of the models' tips; MFC has one of the most generous policies, taking 40 percent.) It's especially hard to calculate income when you consider how infrequently successful cam girls work. For example, Eevie works only about 14 hours a week. (She declined to disclose exactly how much she makes, but let's just say it's more than what most middle-class families earn.)
From what I've heard, virtually every woman with a friendly personality is capable of making a meaningfu
