Joseph Matt - Cam Boy

Earlier this year, Cam4honoured me with ‘ VIP’ performer status, and a gold card to boot to prove it – and this month I’m the cover boy for gay magazine ‘ Prowler’, along with a double page interview spread about my experiences camming, and taking part in the TV documentary. None of this would have ever been possible had I not had the courage to switch on my webcam and give camming a go – even if I did only earn $1.50that initial night!

It’s proven to me that with dedication, drive, and determination, anything is possible.

But of all the positive things to have come out of camming, my relationship with Steve has to have been one of the greatest. I know that that man would travel to the ends of the world and back just to make me happy, and I’m so grateful to have him in my life. I spend most of my weekends at his, and it’s always hard to say goodbye come the end of it, but I really enjoy the time we spend together – he’s like no other man I’ve dated before and truly does have my best interests at heart!

I wish I could say that I’m now completely drug free, but I do see a case worker two to three times a week and am slowly but surely dealing with getting over my dependence on benzodiazepines. Accepting help has been a massive step for me, and though at times it has honestly felt like banging my head against a brick wall trying to get a referral, I now have a team beside me who are helping me work through my issues, and the ongoing support of Steve and my parents.

I don’t honestly know what the future holds for me, but even writing this book I feel has been a massive accomplishment, and I’m no longer afraid to take on new challenges, however daunting they may seem to be at first.

And as for anyone out there, who’s seriously considering camming as a job, I hope this book and my tips have been helpful in offering you some guidance.

You can find me on Twitterat Jmatt93camif you ever need any further advice. I’m always happy to help.

Finally, from the bottom of my heart, I’d like to say a big MASSIVEthank you – to all my fans, friends and family, who have stuck by me throughout all my trials and tribulations, and without whom I don’t think I’d have found the strength to keep fighting.

All my love
