There’s a reason that people (usually men) flock to cam sites, and it isn’t for conversation. If you go to any cam site worth its salt, you’re going to see a lot of scantily-clad models, and those models are usually willing to take their clothes off and do sex stuff if you go into a private chat with them. The industry pretty much revolves around sex.

Which makes the concept of an “SFW” (safe for work) cam girl seem a little… pointless? Once you remove the sexual aspect, what’s left? Are you simply paying for a chat? Couldn’t you just go to a bar and do that for free?

Sure – in theory. But the truth is that for many people, going out and initiating a conversation with a stranger is a terrifying prospect. One that they’d never do under any circumstances. But talking to a girl via webcam? One who will almost certainly be nice, patient, and receptive to what you’re saying? That’s much easier.

Welcome to the world of SFW cam girls – and whether or not buying the services of one on a site like PDCams is worth it.

What are SFW Cam Girls?

You’re almost certainly familiar with the internet shorthand “NSFW”, used on Reddit posts and forum threads the world over to mean something is “not safe for work”. It’s typically used to denote nudity or sexual content but can also mean other things you wouldn’t want your boss seeing over your shoulder in the office, like some dude being beheaded in Syria.

The opposite, then, is “SFW” – “safe for work”. Not necessarily something you’d want your boss seeing, but typically something that’s non-sexual in nature. In the case of cam girls, it means they don’t do sexual stuff.

This raises the question…

What do SFW Cam Girls do?

SFW cam girls operate in a similar capacity to girls who are hired to accompany men on a date. No sexual services are sold, although there is often a romantic element to the transaction in the first place (let’s make no mistake; these girls are still lookers).

In the place of sexual services, SFW girls may do one or all of the following:

• Storytelling
• ASMR
• Arts and crafts
• Trying on new outfits
• Livestreaming while they’re out and about (AKA ‘lifestreaming’)
• Eating (whether as part of ASMR or in the Mukbang tradition)
• Reading aloud
• Household chores

None of these, as you can see, are inherently sex cams (although some may scratch a certain fetishistic itch, like Mukbang or ASMR). This list is far from exhaustive; basically, anything that their viewers want to see – and that doesn’t violate any of the boundaries they set – is fair game for an SFW cam girl.

Can I Watch SFW Cam Girls in Work?

Uh, not really. Although the literal meaning of “SFW” is “safe for work”, it’s figuratively used here to imply that there’s no explicit sexual content. Don’t expect these girls to get naked or start using sex toys.

However, there is still quite often a measure of sexual content going on. The girls may dress suggestively, may have cleavage or leg on display, and may often have sex toys or lingerie on display in the background. Thus, it’s really not advisable to try to watch cam girls of any stripe while you’re on the clock.

Is SFW Camming Lucrative?

While it’s easy to dismiss SFW camming out of hand and assume that it’s nowhere near as lucrative as its NSFW counterpart, the truth is that SFW camming is a growing industry, and some webcam models have had quite a lot of success with it.

Due to the fact that it’s a relatively new field (particularly when compared to the well-established field of traditional camming), it’s hard to say exactly how much an SFW cam girl stands to make. Individual cam girls often set their own prices, and there is any number of factors that go into establishing and maintaining a successful cam profile. It gets even more complicated for SFW cam girls, who are still relying on their sex appeal to get views – even though they don’t do anything explicitly sexual.

All that said: SFW is currently not as lucrative as traditional NSFW camming. Sex sells, and that’s just a fact – even for SFW performers. The less of it you offer, the less you’re likely to make.

Who Uses SFW Cam Girls?

Typically speaking, the men (and it tends to be men) who make use of SFW cam girls are not looking for straight-up sexual services (obviously).

They may be people who’ve recently come out of long-term relationships and are looking for a pretty girl to talk to without everything that’s implied by sexual contact (remote or otherwise). They may be younger men who are socially awkward and don’t know how to talk to girls. They may be seasoned cam viewers who relish the challenge of talking SFW girls into going a little further (unfortunately, people like these, who get off on pushing boundaries, are a thing).

It could also be someone who just needs someone to be there, whether a hot girl or not. Maybe they’ve got nobody else to talk to. Maybe they need a non-judgmental voice to simply listen to them. Maybe it’s another woman who just needs a friend to hang out with.

Whatever their needs or motivations, the fact is that there is a market for people who’d like to hang out with a hot chick without any kind of pressure for anything else to happen on either end. People like attention, and they really like attention from people they find attractive. The fact that it’s paid attention, far from being a turn-off, can actually help. There’s no fear of rejection, after all.

Conclusion

SFW camming certainly isn’t for everyone, but it’s a niche perfect for girls who don’t want to take all their clothes off in front of strangers and guys who just want to talk to a pretty girl (for whatever reason). Sometimes, it really is that simple.
