You might have wondered what it's like to date a camgirl - but do you think you'd be happy joining her on camera? It's a question Dan and Kelly are more than used to answering.
"He will enter into a show sometimes and we will have sex," says camgirl Kelly, "but only in front of select people."
She and 26-year-old Dan started dating a year ago - and now he regularly has sex with her on camera as well as off.

Speaking to LADbible, the couple say they couldn't be happier - and Kelly's clients are keen to have Dan involved.
"They like that. It adds another level," she says.
"It adds another string to the bow. Some of the clients enjoy it - it's just something a little bit different from what you would get with your regular partner.
"Dan comes online - he never shows his face - and it does help with some of the clients. Obviously, some of them don't like it. They like to think that I'm just theirs, but usually, it works."

But while most men might be a bit nervous about having sex with their girlfriend in front of strangers, Dan takes it all in his stride.
"I am quite a confident person," he says. "You have people on Love Island and those programmes all saying they back themselves, and I do too."
And though he acknowledges people may find it strange to think of their partner being intimate with others, jealousy doesn't even come into the equation for Dan. He says it's actually a turn-on - and there are definite perks to his girlfriend working from home.

He explains: "We're very relaxed with our relationship, which I think we have to be for her to continue working as a cam girl - and I find it quite hot that she builds these connections with people. It's good to see it's not all fake.
"We have lines - she won't meet anyone. But it's nice, I find it attractive.
"I work from home. It's quite nice; you go next door and your girlfriend is in her knickers. Breakfast is always good."

But just a year ago, life was very different for both of them. Dan claims he knew nothing about the 'camgirl world' and it was only when a group of mates egged him on during a night out that he decided to find out more.
Stumbling home after a drunk, the Londoner set up a profile on adultwork.com and after stumbling across Kelly's account, he began chatting to her. Over the next couple of months, he logged on to the site twice a week and paid £3.69 a minute to chat to Kelly.
Eventually, after weeks of back and forth, Kelly finally agreed to give him her number and they went on their first date.
The 28-year-old camgirl tells us: "We met in London at a train station, went to a pub and then it all went a little bit wild after that; a Thursday night date turned into an all-nighter."

Dan continues: "You've got to imagine, all kinds of boundaries had been crossed on cam. We'd seen each other naked and done sexual stuff online - so it was strange to be clothed in a bar.
"I was still really nervous, though. It's easy being an online fantasy, so it was just about breaking down that final barrier.
"That was part of the excitement when we met. It's different meeting a camgirl for a first date and we already had such a strong connection. It's who we are, really."
It's safe to say Dan's mates were more pleased than anyone with the news he was dating a camgirl, as he explains they greeted the news with high-fives.
However, he says his parents wouldn't understand - and still believe she's a personal trainer.
He says: "My close lad friends found out quite soon on and a few of them were actually the ones who got me into it.
"From their perspective, it was high-fives all around - who doesn't want to date a cam girl? But other friends - the less boisterous ones, perhaps - we haven't told the truth to yet."
He adds: "Our parents are older, so their views are a bit different. She says she still does what she used to do. We see it as a white lie because she has done it, so it's not like we're saying she's an astronaut."
Kelly - who has been a performer for three years - says while she knows there is an obvious sexual element to her job, she and other women act as a vital support network for a lot of men.
"There are obviously guys who go on there with different needs and wants," she tells us. "But for me, it's more about that companionship, a girlfriend experience. That's just the way that I work.
"There are some who may have more taboo fetishes, but the great thing about cam is that any kind of sexual want or problem they have, there's someone to talk to.
"I speak to a lot of people who are at a real low point in their lives and if they didn't have us I don't know what they would do. So in that sense, it's great for some men's mental health."
Dan says the social support element is what he loves most about dating a camgirl.
"I was quite sceptical, to begin with," he admits. "it can be seen as quite a seedy industry but when you're on the other side of it, you can see how much good it does.
"As much as there is this sexual side - which is fantastic - the conversations I see her have with people are eye-opening too. There's a lot of agony aunt stuff and people with issues. She builds these connections with people, so there are a lot of benefits for everyone."
And it's a career that Kelly hopes to continue for many years to come.
She says: "I honestly love it. I have so much fun and I really wouldn't change anything about it. I don't think I could go back to going to the gym at 6am.
"There's nothing I would want to do other than this. I know women who are in their 70s and they do very well. I think there's someone for everyone and I think that's what cam really helps."
