I saw this documentary on Netflix and it has my head spinning. A girl Alice lives in Hollywood and works on a cam site which means men pay to log on via the internet and see her on camera. They can speak with her and she performs sexual acts for them. This is actually a big big business on the internet. She is not particularly attractive. A little pudgy, huge fake books, blemished skin and really over processed blonde hair. She also did not come off as smart or with much depth but eh she makes a living at this and earns more than enough to take care of herself. One of clients lives in Australia. I would guess but he and Alice are mid-twenties. He has a job, lives alone and takes care of himself. He said he was horribly bullied as a child and has never had a real life girlfriend. He did not say he was a virgin but I assumed that by what he did say. With him in Australia, and she in Hollywood, they have had an online cam relationship for four years! It moved off of the cam site and became more regular though skype and he sent her directly all sorts of money and gifts. She had been married for the past two years and said she loves her husband greatly. The husband knows about her job and her special Australian client. She is full of all sorts of BS that she truly believes because we all make our own reality. "Oh I love my husband dearly and he will always come first but I would say I am poly-amorous". The guy in Australia knows about the husband too, at times they even skype with each other??? I so tried to keep an open mind and not judge as not only do people make their own reality, and they also make their own happiness. But it was just all bonkers and a facade. Anyway the Australian guy buys a plane ticket for Alice to visit him in Australian. She agrees and even is all giddy packing underwear, bikinis and dildos that the Australian guy bought her. She gets there and meets the Australian guy and the illusion is utterly smashed once she goes on the other side of the looking glass. Much to her credit she immediately sees finally that the Australian guy believes her to be his girlfriend and that they have a true relationship more profound than just transnational. Although they have had done all sorts of "intimate" acts together on cam, they do not have any physical intimacy while together (although you could tell he wanted to). Alice is only there a long weekend but the guy does not come as quickly to the same realization she had until she apologizes to him for holding him back and telling him that he needs know to go out into the world and have a real relationship - that he has a lot to offer and someone will be very happy with him. In the end she was very kind to him and super sensitive. He is chubby but good looking still plus super sincere and sweet. He agrees that even though he enjoyed the last four years and it gave him what he needed, he does want to have a true relationship and feels the strength now to seek it. WOW, again this show had my head spinning. Like I said I really had to restrain myself not to judge them. I did find her very off putting. But that sincere and true way it ending made me pleased for holding back my judgement. Yes it was a very unconventional path they took but where the journey lead pleased me. Online is so strange. Sometime people give it credit for being more real than they should and then you have those on the other side do no take it as seriously as they should.
