This question has always robbed so many philosophers, idealists, and dreamers of hours of sleep... What does being free mean to you? How do you attain this freedom? On this International Women's Day, we went looking for the answer to these burning questions in some performers' life stories. SPOILER ALERT: We did not discover a magic formula, but we did uncover a series of reports that can help each one here figure out what the word freedom truly means to them. 

After all, the idea of freedom is immaterial, and each person views it differently. Does freedom mean financial stability? Does it mean experiencing new things? Is it about loving yourself the way you are? Nothing is more liberating than having a space in which you can find yourself and become complete. And this becomes very clear in these testimonials shared by camgirls Maju Garcia, 40tona, Lady Milf, Linysex, and Candy Neon.

How they found freedom by discovering their desires, acquiring their financial independence, and the possibility of saying "no" to their toxic relationships. Freedom to dedicate to their self-care, their process of self-recognition, their love for others, and the power of saying YES and NO. All this and much more pervades through their life stories and cam activities here at Camera Prive.

To Be Free Is to Have the Right to Choose and Dream

A topic of great concern for most people is highly coveted financial stability. In the system we live in, having money is essential to having freedom. To have enough money not to worry about everyday life and to chase our dreams. To have enough money not to subject ourselves to toxic, abusive, and negative situations.

Financial freedom made it possible for Maju Garcia to fulfill a long-time desire: to have breast implants and facial surgery so that she could finally show people on the outside who she has always been on the inside. "I locked myself in my room every day and started working, and I was saving money, and I reached my first goal, which was to get breast implants...As I realized that I had already met my goal of getting breast implants, I began to chase what seemed to be the most impossible goal for me, which were the surgeries on my face that I had always dreamed of doing: a feminization."

Financial freedom is then intimately tied to boosting self-confidence. For Maju, it's looking in the mirror and seeing a dream come true, and for Candy Neon, it's about feeling desired as a fat woman. These achievements were made possible with their decision to empower themselves with their bodies; allow themselves the pleasure of being who they are; free themselves of taboos, prejudices, and stereotypes; and be on Camera Prive. 

Candy Neon affirms, "Going online for the first time was a mixed bag of emotions. It was forbidden, and taboo, and I was feeling wonderful doing it! Surely the Candy who first started camming is not the same Candy today! As a fat woman, my self-confidence is what has changed in me the most! Men asking and PAYING me just to see my belly? It was a turning point for me! I felt desired like never before, and it made me feel more confident in all aspects of my life!"

For 40tona, however, freedom came in the possibility of living in the city she wanted and working the hours that made her most comfortable. All this became essential when her child was diagnosed with a syndrome, and she was able to move closer to where the treatments would be provided. "This would never be possible with a job that I had once considered stable," she concludes.

Once Linysex achieved the financial stability that she had wanted for so long, she finally fulfilled her joy and was able to live on her own, or "furnish my little corner," as she says. "I may not have everything yet, but what I have makes me happy, and soon I will accomplish other goals."

To Be Free Is to Make Decisions Out of Love, Not Fear

This is nothing new. It is no coincidence that some of these testimonials refer to unhealthy relationships before these camgirls gained financial independence. Their emotional freedom is directly tied to the fact that each woman here makes her own money and does not depend on partners who try to dominate and dictate what they can or should do.

Candy Neon began camming this way. After an abusive relationship and a complicated divorce, she found in Camera Prive something that would set her free. "I let go of my shame. I let go of my fear. And I never imagined getting this kind of recognition!"

Just like Lady Milf, a mother in the middle of ending a relationship that was doing her no good, had to face family members' judgment and criticism when she began to venture into the sale of content and, later, camming. She only wanted to do the best for her son within her possibilities.

"The most important lesson I have learned from all these phases is that we will never be perfect in other people's eyes and that we are the only ones responsible for our own happiness. You can be the perfect wife, the perfect daughter, the perfect mother, and even the perfect employee, but they will never value you as much as you deserve. When I learned to allow myself to dream and live my dreams, to say no when I need to without caring about whether others thought I was being selfish, and especially to love myself first more than everything and everyone, my life was never the same," she concludes.  

To Be Free Is to Discover, Experience, and Live

If you allow yourself to be who you are, discover what gives you pleasure, try new things, and renew yourself every day. Getting into camming has allowed each of these camgirls to find sexual freedom in different ways. Because every woman also has the right to feel pleasure, to know her own body, to listen to her desires, and, of course, to fully live their sexual experience - quite unlike what is usually imposed by society.

40tona tells us, "In fact, our camming routine does not lie in stripping clothes off our bodies but in stripping away the prejudices, taboos, and rules of our society that do not do us any good, like clothes, so that we can bare our souls."

Camera Prive as a Mechanism for Freedom

There is a long history of abuse in the industry of adult content, and many platforms to this day operate in harmful ways - especially to women. But our team here at Camera Prive seeks to improve every day to provide an increasingly safe environment on the platform where there is mutual respect between users and cammodels, an environment permeated by diverse beauty and an appreciation for each person's time and desires.

Our position is unlike the way other sites in the industry operate. Here each camgirl can find a mechanism for individual freedom: decide which days and times to Livestream, which features to use on the site, which promos to participate in, and which users to keep happy. That sets us apart from all the other platforms, especially the international cam sites.

40tona recalls when she registered with an international cam site with two friends in 2002. "It would be a regular 8-hour work day inside an office with closed rooms and three screens, which were CPUs at the time. And yes, I worked with three rooms at the same time, and my earnings went to the company that I had signed a contract with. The company paid me a part and gave me bonuses if I met the goals."

In addition to having to work eight hours a day, the pay wasn't high, and the percentage she received was even lower. So, 40tona had to look for another job to pay the bills. It was even more difficult to obtain the money. "What's more is that they would send my paycheck in the mail, but my paycheck would not always arrive. When it did arrive, it was such a hassle to find an international bank where I could cash it in," reports the camgirl.

40tona walked a long, hard road until she registered with Camera Prive, which allowed her to take off her mask and live her truth. The platform adheres to a philosophy of respect for each cammodel's freedom so that each may find here a place to be who they really are, to explore what makes them feel good, to set their hours, to please whomever they want, and to choose the payment method that is most convenient for them.

To Be Free Is to Love and Empower Yourself Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow...

It involves working on self-awareness, self-analysis, self-care, and self-love every day. For these camgirls and for you, I'm sure, Camera Prive was the gateway to freeing themselves from the grips of other people's expectations. It's a daily learning process, as expressed directly in the words of the camgirls below:

Candy Neon: People know me and admire me as Candy Neon. So many fat girls told me they were afraid to enter the platform because of their appearance, and when they saw me, they summed up their courage. It's beautiful! It's beautiful to be able to inspire others, to be able to change someone's life and how they see themselves!

Maju Garcia: So, I look back on the woman I was some time ago, full of insecurities and fears of never having my stability, maybe never having the surgeries I always dreamed of, and feeling good about my body so that I can take off my clothes in front of the mirror and feel complete...Without a doubt, I owe a lot to Camera Prive, but I also owe it to myself for my dedication.

Linysex: I stopped seeking acceptance because the only person who needs to accept me is me! Other people only need to respect me, and it is totally possible. I see that today.

Lady Milf: Camera Prive has allowed me to set my own hours while working from home, set my own rules, and be the best version of myself. You will never stop being a woman after having children, so allow yourself to achieve everything you can to be happy, even if you have to leave some people behind!

Behind the Screen, There Are WOMEN!

On this International Women's Day, remember this: freedom is a daily struggle! Free yourself of emotional dependence, find pleasure in your own body, take a good look at yourself, and acknowledge and accept yourself. Find financial stability. Chase your dreams. Being free gives you power! The power to say no, the power to say yes, the power to pay your bills, and the power to love yourself...and, yes, loving yourself is a revolutionary act!

We want to congratulate you on this day and every other day because every day is a struggle and every day is Women's Day. Because each performer here is unique. Each one with her history, her experiences, her pains, and loves...learning is a slow process, and it comes day after day - not for us to be the best, but to always be the best version of ourselves.
