Re: So I have a problem...

I think it might help if the conversation lasts longer than, "Yes, I'm okay with it," or "No, I'm not comfortable with it." This may require you to actually take that time you told her you needed to think about it, but I think it would help you to nail down why you're not comfortable with her doing webcam work, and present her with those feelings.

Her choice to ask you how you felt implies that your opinion matters here; the fact that she's asked your opinion before and then brushed it off when you didn't rubber-stamp the choice she'd already made is a valid concern for you to have, but if you have reasons that you can offer to explain your feelings, that might encourage an actual dialogue and negotiation. She may have felt last time like it was an all-or-nothing situation, where you overruled her or she overruled you, with no chance for understanding or explanation. To try to avert that this time, show her why you're so opposed to her doing this kind of work - so she won't jump to conclusions about how you view her friend, for one thing - and try to negotiate a solution that you can both be content with.

Explaining to her the source of your resistance might dispel any misconceptions she has about your motives, too. If she thought you objected to her nude modeling "because he's a controlling jerk, so the heck with what he thinks," she might be surprised to learn that your real feelings looked more like (for instance), "I connect nudity with emotional intimacy, so it makes me feel insecure when she does nude modeling because I feel like I'm being left behind." She might be willing to dismiss the reasoning she thinks you have, but not the feelings you actually have. Even if that doesn't turn out to be the case, communication is definitely important here.

For the record, you do get credit for not making the mistake of thinking you can forbid anything. It is her body, and she does have the right to do what she wants with it. But the relationship belongs to both of you, and the fact that she's asking how you feel about this implies that she thinks your feelings should matter in some way - maybe not enough to overrule her feelings, but certainly enough not to be completely disregarded without another thought or attempted reassurance.
