"The Reluctant Camboy" by Bella Bliss

 I wanted a book that gave me some sort of insight into the feelings of a man who performs sex acts in front of a webcam for the pleasure of those watching over the internet. Why? Because I am writing about such a character in my next novel. I thought that a sociological fact-finding mission might give me less insight into the inner feelings of such a performer than a work of fiction.

I bought the wrong book. The Reluctant Camboy is a work of gay erotic fantasy fiction which crosses over the boundary into fairly hardcore porn. I should have guessed from the author's name.

The hero, a gay man, is persuaded by his foster brother to make money as a webcam performer to cover foster brother's debts. Two friends-cum-lovers (pun intended) agree to assist. Gay sex is described in graphic detail. Character building is minimal, motivation also minimal. 

It's extremely short and I read it in less than an hour.

I imagine that it fulfils the requirements of those readers who bought it knowing what it would provide. I wanted something more like the true story in Cam Boy by J Matt.
