I’m a married woman. After a few surgeries I had to undergo for medical reasons, I started feeling extremely insecure about my body. I tried talking to my husband about it, hoping for some reassurance, but nothing really seemed to help. The more I felt like he wasn’t attracted to me the way he used to be, the deeper I sank into depression.

When things didn’t improve, one of my friends introduced me to online sites where people like me could chat and share experiences. At first, I was just looking for someone to understand me, but one thing led to another, and before I knew it, I was performing webcam shows. It gave me a sense of confidence I hadn’t felt in a long time. It wasn’t just about the attention — it was about feeling desired, something I hadn’t felt for myself in a while.

But recently, during one of my shows, I noticed something that stopped me cold. One of my husband’s friends was watching.

I don’t know what to do. I feel ashamed, but at the same time, I can’t deny how much more comfortable and confident I feel now. I’m torn between what’s been helping me and the fear of what this could mean for my marriage.
