In my quest for knowledge, I did not know where to look, so I put on this documentary movie on Second Skin which is an intimate, fascinating look at millions and millions of computer gamers whose lives have been transformed by the emerging, hugely popular genre of computer games. I always knew that gamers and webcammers had similarities but this was fascinating, since gammers and webcamers share certain behaviors that need to be addressed.
Gamers often talked about “community” — something that webcam sites are desperately trying to mimic using social media tools, forums and rating systems that encourage users to become more active.
Gamers often talk about building a character similar to what webcammers do when choosing an online persona, which is often more exciting and dynamic when compared to their real personality.
The most common trait gamers get off on, however, is power. The same power webcam users get from telling a model what to do. The same model they would be afraid to talk to in real life. Webcam users love the feeling of power as they tell a model to perform sexual acts without friction or complaints.
As we move into a more isolated world where wearing your iPod in public is normal; people spending more and more time online; and where Internet dating isn’t taboo anymore; I can see a direct relevance between the modern day video gamer and today’s webcammer.

In my relationships, I always try to be as open, honest and understanding to people as possible. In doing so I think jealousy does not effect me. At all. I am confident in my relationships, and if it proven other wise, then I deal with it, or move on. Sometimes even friendships are not meant to be. I didn’t think it was a productive way to respond to things. My feelings were reaffirmed when I went to a Dharma talk by Tibetan monks that were touring around from India. The theme for that talk was jealousy and anger. Anger towards others, and oneself. They are more detrimental to ones well being.
