So we continue to grow and break new ground we sat down with Jack + Jill one of the hottest couples in the live webcam industry.
Before we start I want to thank you both for taking the time out of your busy schedules to sit down with us here at Cam Life Magazine to answer some questions for our readers.
Our pleasure!
So let’s start at the beginning how did you two meet?
We both met in the apartment complex we used to live at. I had to ask Jack if he wanted to get to know each other because he didn’t have the balls to ask me out.
What made you two decide to enter the live webcam industry?
Pretty simple, like most people –it was money. I had just finished my Master’s degree. I was at a point in my life where I had fully realized how long it would take me to pay off my student loans. Jack wasjust willing to go along for the ride.
How did your family and friends feel about your decision to enter the live webcam industry?
We’re safe and responsible, so we really don’t feel like what we do is a really big deal. We also understand some people may not agree with the lifestyle we have chosen. For that reason, most of the people in our life are on a need-to-know basis. We tend to avoid oversharing and if we do share what we do, which we frequentlydo, we describe it in general terms.
So, it means you have a double life, you are both successful in your day job and in your camming business.
Yeah, I guess you could say we have a double life. Our day jobs represent a much larger portion of our personal identities and they are very distinct from our camming lifestyle.
As a couple you have become two of the most successful performers in the live webcam community. What would you say the key to your success as performers has been?
Being consistent, answering every e-mail, being friendly to everyone, and minding our own business. A lot of people have a tendency to get wrapped up in the social order of the camming community, farming followers, use it as a platform to judge others, and overshare their opinions. We just like to mind our own business and put our energy into putting on good concise shows. We understand a lot of people have limited time in their schedule and want to have some genuine social interactions combined with sex. We try to deliver that in a three hour window.
In your opinion, what is the main difference between performing couple-shows and solo-shows? Did you try both?
Being a solo cam model is more competitive. When you’re a solo performer the burden of running the technical aspects of your show along with social engagement all fall to oneperson. When you’re a couple, you can split these responsibilities up. Depending on the type of person you are, this can make things more or less difficult. Some people don’t like to relinquishcontrol to their partners or don’t agree with their creative direction. This tricky dynamic is what makes a long-term couples more rare than successful solo models. Both of us do solo shows, but Jack does far fewer.
The couples section is getting more and more popular over platforms that offer it. How do explain that? What’s the difference between the 3 types we have identified: like you couples that are talkative and very interactive with their audience, couples-groups who are just performing sexual performances
according to the tip menu, and couples-group who pretend to be acting like being spied with neighbors, cousins, the plumber, etc.?
I think live camming is just getting more popular in general. I think some people just genuinely crave social interactions, so they run their shows in a way to get it. For us, this is all about seducing your viewers socially, intellectually, and of course –sexually into joining your show. People who purely perform on a tip menu generally have a hard time communicating with the primary English-speaking demographic, they are attractive and lazy, don’t feel like talking, or just don’t knowany better. Some performers fetishize real-life scenarios with service workers, friends, or even “family members”. Some viewers have such a strong desire to live out these fantasies that they are able to convince themselves they are real.
How many viewers usually connect to the free part of your shows, and how many buy tickets in a single session? It varies wildly depending on the weather, time, if there are big sporting events on, and the time of year

How do you explain your recurrent success? Is it because of your social media activities, your personal sitehttp://camming.co/, the impressive 300,000+ fans on Chaturbate, or your organization and precise schedule, or simply a combination of everything?
Well it’s definitelynot because of our social media presence. We’re not shy about admitting that we’re no good at social media engagement, but that’s really a product of our desire not to overshare certain aspects of our life. Our personal site has helped us retain our die-hard fans by offeringthem glimpses of things we have done in the past. We’re actually in the middle of rebuildingour site right now (something we’re super excited about). Registered followers help, but are largely a product of time spent live-streaming. We’ve seen people with hundreds of thousands of social media followers and website followers with very few viewers consistently. If your room is boring, people won’t choose to spend their time there –pretty simple. Our schedule is what it is because we don’t have any other times in our life that we can dedicate to live streaming. We both work and cam.
We also saw that you are giving a lot of advice to your viewers… Does one of you have a background in sexology?
Jill is a type of therapistand is very skilled at listening and interpreting people’s body language and feelings. Jack is obsessed with data and loves trying out things that he thinks will help seduce others or heighten their experiences. We like to think these personality characteristics combined with our robust experiencegives us unique insight into people’s sexuality. We don’t just talk about it, we read about it and have an entire reading list! We have researchedwhat scents, textures, foods, sensations, and experiencescontribute to arousal. Finally, we try them out on our willing participants. We make note of what works for different types of people. Sexology is exciting because we feel like it is both an art and a scienceand since everyone is different, it means you can never truly “know it all”. That makes the field very exciting to work in.
Amazing! And about you Jack, it sounds you’re the techy-guy in the couple. We see the green screen and many over things that you like to test as for example you have talked a few times about VR? Are you an engineer?
I’m a scientist. While my field didn’t prepare me for the technical aspects of live streaming that say being an electrical engineer or software engineer would have, I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and dabble in all sorts of fields. In the last year I’ve become fascinated with virtual reality and augmented reality, and the immersive experiencesit provides people. I built a high-end computer capable of renderingVR and for a few months, I just played some games and really understood how users interact with the interface and other people in VR. I have begun working with Terpon (https://terpon.com/) to expand the immersive experiencesVR can provide into the realm of live streaming, sexuality, and even haptics. I’m particularly excited about this because I think it’s an opportunity for us to combine several disciplines into a new type of experience. We’ve begun a series of “beta streams” onwww.xvr.chatusing our Hermes camera provided by Terpon. We call them beta streams because the technology and delivery methods are still in flux as technology improves and we learnto deliver the best experiencepossible
We see that many promising performers or some well-known ones are doing group shows with you. We even learn you go through very serious interviews…
We have collaborated with several other well-kno
wn performers, people just starting out, and people who have never done any live-camming before in their life. Variety is the spice of life! We love breaking down walls, asking people about their experiences, and how they got to where they are now. When you watch traditional porn, you never get to understand how the performers really feel. That’s what we want to give our viewers.
Now I understand that you are both also being featured in xbiz magazine as well?
We think so! Pornhub.com contacted us about featuringour profilehttps://www.pornhub.com/model/jackplusjillas one of the “fastest growing profiles year over year in terms of video sales” on the site. This is probably because we joined pornhub really late and when we finally did, we had a video featured and experinced a lot of video sales. The total number of subscribers we have is still rather low compared to well-known people in the community, but that’s probably because we don’t like posting full-feature videos for free. We’re not that “out” and don’t want millions of people seeing our faces. We’re content with our double life and selling videos.
Will, you a day become gurus, or will you start an academy like several models are doing now? How do you see your future?
I think true gurus don’t need to label themselves as one. True knowledge comes with research and life experience and we have really put in our work in those two areas. People already watch our shows and emulate what we do. When we werestarting out and finding our way, we watched others and emulated the aspects of their shows we enjoyed most. Its all circular and nobody is really re-inventing the wheel here; it’s largely a process of self exploration through others. We’ll go where our viewers take us because at the end of the day –we’re here to please them.
What do you see as the next steps for the industry in general?
I think we’re going to see an explosion in the number of people that are pursuing live-camming. I think it’s going to reach over-saturationin the next global recession. I think technology is going to play an increasing role in our sexual experiencesthat may even transcend arousal from other humans into the realm of computer-generated imagery. This is already happening, but as animations become more and more life-like, soon it’ll be hard to discern between an AI controlled rendering of what you define as ideal beauty and the real thing.
We here at Cam Life Magazine fell that the live webcam industry is more than just a multi-billion dollar industry its a community of performers and entrepreneurs that truly want each other to do well in this business what are your thoughts on this?
It’s hard not to agree with that. Live streaming is a platform to advertise just about anything you want about yourself. I think everyone is just trying to make it in the world and find their Ikigai. I found mine when I was working on my aquaponics projects on cam and people were encouraging me to pursue my dreams. One day I’ll have my aquaponicsfacility and live stream from there. Live streaming becomes a part of you. If you turn your back on it, it’s like giving up an opportunity and something you’ve worked so hard to develop.
How has performing as a couple helped strengthen your relationship?
While there have been some ups and downs as a result of camming, especially when you add in other people, It has definitelystrengthened our relationshipin the long run. I think we’ve really learned a lot about each other in the processand we’re extremely happy with where our relationship is today.
How do you deal with cyberbullies?
By ignoring them. Cyberbullies get off to your response and they want to see you squirm. If you ignore them, eventually they’ll get bored with you. Cyberbullies used to get to us –but at this point in our career, I don’tthink there is much you could say to us that would make us upset. We think the negativityother exude is just a reflection of their true character, so when they run their mouth –they’re just exposing themselves as the nasty people they are.
Last word: any advice for performers who will try to perform as couples or newcomers? Jill? Jack?
Success does not happen overnight. Don’t become complacent and if you think you’re the best –you’re not. Stay humble, know who pays your bills and makes your lifestyle possible; go out of your way to please those people. Build a support system, sometimes you have to get rid of the wrong friends to find the right ones. Stop overthinking and doubting yourself. Work hard and allow yourself to celebrate small victories. Set realistic goals and treat yourfailures as learning opportunities. Talk to people -don’t talk about money.
Plan in advance and don’t take the decision to cam lightly –it’ll be one that stays with you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”sidebar”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
