how many of you, verify who your chatting with , with a web-cam? I think this is a safty tool, and should be used. am I wrong?

I sometimes chat with it, sometimes without. Even seeing the person on the other end doesn't build in any more safety than is already there. It might tell you if they are of the same gender that they are claiming to be. Often I find a webcam an intrusion. People are more likely to want a performance of some type - stripping or following tasks. When two people are still in the getting to know each other stage this can be frustrating. I like the ability to roll my eyes and not be caught. : ) It is a different story if you know each other well, but I see no safety at all in seeing someone on cam other than you might learn more about their looks and whether they live like a slob.

My cam is on 24/7, but only my owner has access to it. Back in my chatting days it was fun seeing my invis-friends from across the world. I've never used it as a sex toy though, just as communication and so my owner can watch over me as I go to sleep each night, and watch as I wake up each day. OP what do you mean by 'safety tool'?

<QR> Realistically, one risks very little getting on a webcam. They other user does not gain access to your computer or files, assuming you're using any of the big names in web-based communications. The idea of a safety tool is the person chatting looks like who you think they are (or the pictures are consistent). Other than that, nothing can be gained. I can be a tricky liar on or off the webcam, my willingness to show my face on one means nothing. It would be the same as getting on skype or ventrillo. Do I consider them safe tools? Yes. Do I think they help verify the moral value of the person opposite the screen? No. Edit: Keep in mind, if you're dealing with particularly unsavory people then a webcam can do you harm. Them seeing where your background is, what objects or view is behind you, can all help a social engineer put pieces together to eventually do one harm. Or, allow for some "Oh my god! how did you know that much about me!" when making judgement calls based on the white moulding and sky blue walls behind them. In short: Seeing them doesn't make them more trustworthy, and most of the time, showing yourself is harmless.

Web cams are about in verifying someone is who they say they are in my opinion as horse shit is useful for cleaning house. Not very. People can lie, and mis represent themselves easily even with a webcam in my opinion. IF you want to verify they are who they say they are meet in public, and see them face to face. quote: ORIGINAL: Domnsub247 how many of you, verify who your chatting with , with a web-cam?

I do the same thing for Master. It's on but only he has access to it and can peek in on me at anytime which is kind of a thrill, kind of means i have to behave even when i think he isn't looking lol. I use it to talk to my friend over in Australia as well. but with the use of the cam Master has learned how to read my face very well and because of that knows what i'm feeling generally which still surprises me at times.

Yes, webcams were fun for letting online friends who were to far away to do anything in real life, see your enviroment, and show them my stuffed toys and my dogs and fun stuff like that. quote: ORIGINAL: camille65 My cam is on 24/7, but only my owner has access to it.

DesFIP -> RE: web-cams (3/5/2009 5:59:11 PM)
I'm not sure how you can be unsafe, sitting at your computer safely locked away in your own home. Care to elucidate? If you mean seeing if their picture up really is of them, then that only matters if you plan to meet. If you aren't planning to meet, then don't even bother exchanging pics. And people's pics can be accurate but they can give you totally different vibes in person. They could seem boring in the pic and fab in r/l or the other way around.

NYLass -> RE: web-cams (3/5/2009 8:38:27 PM)
I only use my web cam with my relatives in other states. I use the chat feature here. I iggy any of the dumbinants who order me to get a cam or yahoo. The last one who huffed and puffed that he believed me to be fake, I explained politely that a web cam wouldn't prove anything of the kind. I would be too in awe of his magnificent dominance, I would be typing while prostrate on the ground and all he'd see is the top of my head. [sm=cool.gif]

MistressAthenaX -> RE: web-cams (3/5/2009 8:43:59 PM)
I usually want to verify female subs via webcam or phone within exchanging a few emails. I am perfectly willing to show Myself in the same way, and really only require to see the person's face or hear their voice. I personally run into so many men who claim to be female subs, that is why I do it. But I'm not looking for it to be a sex toy lol I just want the person to take 10 seconds and show Me that they are actually the person in the pics.

VanessaChaland -> RE: web-cams (3/6/2009 1:12:32 AM)
Everyone should keep in mind that the person on the other end could repost the recorded "cam session" all over the web, without your knowledge or permission.

DavanKael -> RE: web-cams (3/6/2009 5:26:51 PM)
I've only every chatted on a web cam with someone I was already in a relationship with. Davan

To me, its very important... I am uncomfortable discussing anything sexual with men or women who are the same age as my oldest child.

ExKat -> RE: web-cams (3/11/2009 8:18:26 PM)
To be honest, I immediately chalk anyone asking for a webcam verification up as a wanker. Although there is no risk to my computer, there is always always always a risk that they're recording my face. I'm not comfortable sharing that with just anyone...at least a photo I can claim they stole off my myspace or something. I am who I say I am, if they don't believe it, too bad. If you're going into a potential relationship with so much negativity and suspicion, why would I expect things to get better?
