Show Your Bird: CamSoda Invites You to Livestream Thanksgiving Dinner

Get into the holiday spirit with voyeurism on the adult camming site.

If there’s anything that better encapsulates the American tradition of Thanksgiving than live-streaming your holiday orgy—you and your family feeding yourselves with turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, and, of course, pumpkin pie—on a well-known adult cam site then we don’t know what it might be.

At least this is what CamSoda [NSFW] would have you believe. Yep, one of our favorite adult entertainment providers, which has graced us here at Future of Sex on more than one occasion, is back again with yet another, to be honest about it, somewhat silly idea.

This time, the cam site is suggesting that folks who will be dining at Thanksgiving get-together broadcast share their festivities via CamSoda’s smartphone-based Voyeur Cam.

But, you know, even though this is ridiculous, you have to give CamSoda at least some credit, During a time of year when so many people feel isolated and alone, when everyone else is with family or friends, this actually might not be such a bad idea.

Having a place to enjoy the holiday

Not that CamSoda seems to have, at least on the surface, that kind of sensitivity top of mind. Rather the pitch suggests people stream their festivities as a way of sharing the potentially familiar trainwreck of an evening with others.

Or, as CamSoda puts it:

We know how crazy Thanksgiving dinners can be. Everyone comes together to celebrate and enjoy the company of family and friends. Of course, whenever you have so many people gathered at one dinner table—the drunk uncle, the insecure cook, the nosy aunt and that one random cousin, among others — things can escalate quickly and make for entertaining content.

To sweeten the pie, CamSoda will even pay for the meal itself, up to $250, for those who take them up on their offer. How this works is anybody’s guess, but if you’re interested you can contact CamSoda and ask.

We like to watch

As for why anyone would want to watch a bunch of strangers stuff themselves with, among other things, stuffing, they point out the allure of social media platforms like Instagram.

After all, if they can be successful showing people and food, and people eating food, then why can’t an adult cam site CamSoda do it as well?

As we said, even though the site more than likely has its tongue firmly in cheek about all this, this actually may not be such a bad idea.

So while we might giggle at all this, and rightfully so, we freely admit that if these kinds of antics make someone, somewhere smile and feel perhaps a little less depressed, then this bit of publicity will have been more than worth it.

Besides, it could also be a lot of fun, or as Camsoda puts it, “Sit down, join the party and buckle up and prepare for anything.”

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex. Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.” Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian. As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2. M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise. Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex. If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro. M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
