We met in a chatroom.
No, not AOL, it was 2021, not 1997, though the anonymity wasn't something I was used to in an age of Instagram posts and Facebook feeds. The pandemic and corresponding isolation left me lonely and two months without touching human skin had me seeking beyond the usual Literotica tag words I was used to. I swear I only accidentally clicked on the link to a camgirl website (it's hard to scroll with one hand while your other more dominant appendage is occupied), but when my screen opened to the diagram of woman after woman, live and real and sharing it all, I couldn't help but fall down the rabbit hole. Like Alice I was perplexed, curious, and a little bit afraid. Like Alice, I never wanted to leave.
These women inspired me, empowered me, and turned me on. Not in the way you might expect. Even though I am bi and love a threesome I tend to go after girls who have never been with another woman, what can I say, I'm a dom with the ladies I guess. No, what made me drip was imagining I was them. Imagining someone was at the other end of the lens, watching me, waiting for me, and getting off on what I could provide. I've been a people pleaser my whole life and overly sexual to boot, but the shame I was taught to feel in the delights of my body had never made me think of marrying the two in such a way. The first time I saw a tip accompany the words "good girl" and the model purred "thank you daddy" to the lens I had to close my computer, reach between my legs, and allow myself to come.
Soon watching the cams became my nightly ritual. When work was done, I would escape into their world, finding my favorites, and coming by their side. I would pretend I was them, only touching myself when they were tipped, only letting myself come when they did the same. I liked the ones that shared about their day, who seemed so effortless as they switched between ordinary life and their secret inner worlds. What turned me on the most was still those who clearly liked to be controlled, who begged the men watching to please allow them to pinch their nipples or untie their feet. But I loved exploring them all.
I began to tip the women, of course, when I realized I was experiencing pleasure for free and I'd never want to be a freeloader like so many men whose greyed names they chastised and who thus weren't allowed to play along. Tip enough and I could send a DM. I began to learn about their real lives and worlds. So many of these girls were just like me with lives and jobs and outside personas where no one would guess what they did behind closed doors. Of course, I could never. My job was too public-facing, and my future plans too potentially ruptured by the stigma that would be placed. Besides, I didn't want to belong to everyone, everywhere all at once. But still, I couldn't help but fantasize about what could be.
One night he and I found ourselves in a tipping war with one of my favorites. She was a newbie and seemed nervous, the kind that turned me on the most. She was so grateful for every tip, so delighted when we outbid one another. She was young, or at least she said she was. Maybe 19 or 20. And we loved to tease her. Edge her. Make her hold off until one of us showered her with coins.He thought I was a dude, of course. Even the folks who claim they are women never end up being so. My brat tendencies came out when he teased me and said he didn't believe I was a girl writing him from the other side. I'll prove it to you, I said, and wrote his user name in bright purple Crayola marker across my breasts.
Fuck. He typed back.
Holy shit.
Who the hell are you?
And then,
"Why aren't you up there instead of her?"
I logged off for a few days after that. The idea got me too excited, and I became too distracted in everything I did. Walking my dog in the morning. Going on hikes in the afternoon. Responding to emails and running remote programs. Everything was punctuated by an undercurrent of desire and lust and temptation. I wanted it. I wanted to be her. So badly. How did he know?
The morning after I woke up from a dream, heavy with sweat and wet between my legs, I knew I had to go back. When I logged back on there was a message waiting. From him.
Did I scare you off? He had written.
I hope not.
