There is a new and improved way to control Lovense toys such as the Lush when in a webcam chat. Though tips for buzzes are pretty much the standard there was always another choice of giving full control vial a Lovense link.
But it was always a bit clumsy, and while I’ve done it a few times most viewers found it too much work. The technical issues of creating a link, getting around any censorship filters, and using another browser window or tab just took much of the fun out of it.
Now there is a better way. With proper integration into the website chat interface, it now becomes just another slider on the screen while you are chatting with your favorite model.
This has been announced for Stripchat recently, but when I looked I remember that Cam4 has the same thing and it is a Lovense feature so I presume it will come soon to all sites that have good Lovense support.
What’s better than before
Previously, managing a model’s Lovense toy required viewers to navigate away from the chatroom itself. And while some people are happy with multiple windows or tabs, not everybody likes that. It can be confusing and there is just one click or tap between having it right and accidentally closing the window you want. Sure you can always go back, but that is a pain and kills the mood.
What you had to do was tip an amount that was on the model’s tip menu for full control, I took it off because it was not popular but it used to be a few hundred tokens for a few minutes. Then I’d have to use the Lovense software to make a “link”, basically a URL with a code number in it, that I had to pass to the viewer.
Using that URL, in another window or tab, he would get a set of controls like sliders to turn on my lush to whatever level he wanted. At least until the timer ran out. When I created the link I had to specify the time limit.
The problems came with viewers who didn’t understand how to make a new browser window while still watching me, or censorship scripts at the chat sites that wouldn’t let me send a URL to the viewer.
All in all, it was a hassle and I rarely tried it, and certainly couldn’t recommend it.
The new way takes away most if not all of the problems, mostly because it is now agreed with the cam site, be it in Stripchat or Cam4, that this is ok and so it can appear on the same web page for the viewer.
How do you do it now?
If you want to try this you need to find a model who has it on her tip menu. At Stripchat the search is great and typing “full control” into the box will find that pretty easily.
- Find the room with a model you like and select the ‘Send Tip’ option.
- Click on the ‘Lovense Toy’ tab to uncover the Full Toy Control option.
- Tip the required amount for Full Toy Control and gain access to the Lovense control block.
- Use the slider to modulate the strength of the buzzes of the toy, and don’t forget to keep tipping to keep her interested. Vibrations are great, but we want to know our time is appreciated as well!
As you can see some models offer this as a Private show activity, and that’s another way to do it. I’ve seen some rooms where full control of the lush is included as something in the private show, while others want a flat rate extra tip for it.
If you like getting a girl off remotely then asking her to just lay down while you control her toy can be a great way for her to have a relaxing and enjoyable experience, while you do all the work, and pay for it as well.
Will it make a cam girl cum? Perpahsp. But just as likely she is lying there thinking that if you keep it up long enough the tips will pay for her rent, which is a nice thing too so just go for it.
How about for the model?
For the Stripchat models, this is a newly advertised feature that can be accessed via the Lovense extension, either in the regular browse with the extension, in the Lovense browser with the extension built in, or in the Stream Master combo package which is what I use.
Underneath they are all basically the same and let you control what happens with your toy. By activating this option in the Lovense Cam Extension settings, you can establish a price and duration for the control session. Once a generous tipper meets the token threshold, a control window will unveil, giving them the possibility to manipulate your toy via:
- A slider on their screen, or
- A linked Lovense Max 2 / Calor / Nora device for a mutual experience.
I guess if the viewer has a Max 2, and you have a Lovense Fucking Machine then it is as close to virtual intercourse as is possible!
Why this matters
Lovense makes some great technology and fun toys, but there has always been a problem with making a user interface that allows for smooth usage. In the past it has been up to the cam girl to bear the brunt of most of the technical difficulties, just getting the Lovense Lush connected properly so it buzzes with tips can be a daily challenge.
The problems of having a viewer control the toy were just too much. Abstracting it into “tips for buzzes” has worked, and has the big advantage that we cam girls feel we are being paid very directly for our work.
Now there is another option, and I’m looking forward to more sessions where I just can leave all the technical configuration and controls to the viewer and lovense, and I just focus on using the vibrator to try to cum.
Is this going to be the next big thing?
As this feature continues to roll out across popular platforms like Stripchat and Cam4, everyone involved is going to explore and see how this works for themselves.
It is great that Lovense is focusing on getting a better user experience so that its technology will benefit both viewers and models.
For more details check out the ‘Give Control’ feature at cam101 but you have to just try setting it up to see how it works best for you.
Have you tried this yet? Either as a broadcaster or a viewer? Let me know how it is going in the comments, and when I’ve tried it a bit myself I’ll write an update here.
