If you’re still relatively new to camming, you have probably had moments where a viewer drops a few letters into chat and expects you to know exactly what they mean. And for those who have yet to take the plunge, let us tell you: there are many, many terms out there to keep track of.
Now, as one of our sex call girls, it’s important to brush up on your cam knowledge. If you do not recognise a specific term straight away, it is easy to misunderstand what is being asked, agree to something you did not intend to, or waste time going back and forth trying to work it out.
We bring you this helpful A–Z guide to the abbreviations and terms you are most likely to see on cam, so you know what you are dealing with before you respond.
A2M / ATM – Ass-to-mouth. A sex act abbreviation. People use it because it is quicker than spelling it out. If it is not something you like to perform on camera, you need to recognise it instantly so you can shut it down without a long back-and-forth. (You will also see it written as A2M.)
ASMR – Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. Not always sexual, but it comes up in adult spaces because some fans are turned on by models using a soft voice or mouth sounds on cam.
