[ANSWERED] How Do Live Sex Cams Work?

Question: How do live sex cams work?

Short Answer: Models use a webcam on their computer to do a live broadcast of themselves having sex

Girls use a webcam on their computer, or the camera on their mobile phone, to do a real-time live transmission of themselves naked, masturbating, and using sex toys, sometimes including hardcore sex with male or female partners.

How sex cams work

Long Answer

Ever wondered how live sex cams work? You can see them advertised on every porn site, and on a lot of non-porn sites as well. They promise that there are hot naked girls waiting to do whatever you ask them to do, all live and online.

Can that be real?

Yes, it is real.

As far as them being available, online, live and generally willing to do cyber sex with you, it is entirely truthful.

At any one time there will be many thousands of cam girls online using their computers, and sometimes their phones, to broadcast live video of themselves naked, masturbating and using sex toys on themselves.

It isn’t hard to find hundreds of girls, often considered “models” or “broadcasters”, at any one website that provides this service. When you add all the live cam websites together then the number of models online is in the tens of thousands. Amoung that number will also be couples, both hetro and lesbian, a few larger groups – usually all girls, and a few men or “cam boys” providing for a gay audience.

Depending on the website they are using to broadcast their live video you may be able to watch them naked and masturbating for free, or you may have to pay a fee to do so in a private live sex show. At even the “free” live sex websites there will be some option for you to pay for extra services, in the form of tips or a per-minute fee for a private cybersex show.

The fees paid for these extras are then split between the operators of the website and the models who are broadcasting. Some models are working via “studios” which organize the location, provide the equipment and help with support and training. These studios take a cut of the money that the girls earn, so the money which you pay out never goes entirely to the model.

Some live sex cam websites operate purely on a paid basis with little or nothing available for free, while others emphasize that as much as possible is for free and survive on advertising or their cut of the extra services models charge for.

The sites where everything costs money are known as “premium” sites to distinguish them from “freemium” sites where there are a lot of things to watch for free, but some things are paid.

Each live cam site aims to make a profit and therefore hopes you will become a paying customer at some point. To this end, they will offer promotions and benefits if you sign up for an account, particularly if you prove your ability to pay by providing a credit card or other payment method.

Ultimately freemium cam sites are not interested in visitors who never intend to pay anything. But as there is no way for them to distinguish between people who will never pay and those who simply haven’t yet found the right girl they wish to pay for, the site will accept everybody on the same basis.

Free live sex cams

Live cam sites and the models that work on them are used to the fact that the majority of people are viewing without any intention of paying, but they accept this because a small number of people are willing to pay, and pay substantial amounts, to get the extra services from models they like.

In a way similar to that in which street performers will put on a show in a public square, then hope that the audience puts some money into the hat, cam girls will masturbate in public live video chat rooms so that people enjoy the show and will leave some tips.

Running a cam website takes a lot of money, not just the payments to the studios and the models but also marketing and advertising costs, the hardware and software of running a big website, and lots of behind the scenes staff as well.

When you watch live sex cam sites for free these costs are being subsedized by the few viewers who do actually pay for something, whether it be tipping girls to perform particular sex acts, or taking them into private shows where the girl puts on performance just for that viewer.

If you are content to just be an observer and not be in control then you can watch for free as long as you want at sites like this.

The largest site of this type is Chaturbate. but there are many others such as Stripchat, Bongacams and Cam4.

Free text chat

Most live cams sites provide free texted based chat so that viewing members can interact with the models who are broadcasting. Live cams is not just about the sex itself, but also interacting with the models and getting to know them.

While some models are super popular stars with hundreds if not hundrends of thousands of dedicated fans, the majority of models are just regular people, if not exactly the girl-next-door. Getting to know the normal, but very hot, models in a more personal way is part of the apeal of live cams.

With live cam sites you get interact with both specific types of girls, and generally very hot ones, that you might not otherwise be able to meet. Becoming a fan, either officially a member of their online fan club, or simply being a dedicated follower, is part of the fun.

Mature vs Teen live sex chat

Live cam sites offer a wide range of different types of models who you can interact with, get to know, and watch masturbate or have live sex using toys. While it is common for these models to be younger, and there is an attraction to the legal teenaged models available, there are also plenty in other age ranges.

At the popular Streamate cam site half the girls are in the 18-22 age range, but there are still plenty of older models for the discerning viewer who wants to talk to someone more mature.

White vs Asian vs Latina

The ethnic range of models at most sites is also wide. As any website is automatically international you can find models from all over the world, but for various reasons it is common to find more models from a few particular countries.

The prices charged by models for various services tends to vary by their ethnic group. Here are Stripchat you’ll find that Indian models charge the least, but you’ll pay more if you want to buy extra services from White, Asian or Arab models. Latina cam girls are about medium priced.

Couple cams

Many, but not all, cam sites provide a section where couples can broadcast their personal sex lives for the entertainment of viewers. What counts as a “couple” varies from site to site where some reserve this term for male-female hetrosexual couples, while other live cam sites consider that girl-girl lesbian couples should also be in this category.

Best Live Sex Sites

As with most things in life the definition of “best” is a matter of personal choice. However here are some suggestions.

Cheapest if you are going to pay for extras

Read the full article about cheapest private shows, but the conclusion is that the two best ways to get started are Chaturbate, Xcams and XLovecams with Streamate making up the four sites where typical prices come in at under $2 a minute.

Most free things to see

Although a few sites are bigger in total they don’t have the wide range of Stripchat. In particular, they have a lot of rules that mean there are certain things you might want to see but can’t there. If you wish to see either now or in the future some exotic special interests such as shemales, girls doing golden showers, models fisting themselves or just models outdoors then you’ll find plenty of these at Stripchat whereas the few bigger sites forbid them.

Largest range of models

If quantity is important to you and a few thousand models at Stripchat is not enough then move along to the site with the largest number of models, Chaturbate.

Most premium models

If a mix of models is not importaqnt to you, but you do wish to chat with the best groomed, most perfect skinned, attentive and atractive models then you want to stick with the best premium sites. LiveJasmin to some extend and FLirt4free very much offer just girls that just have that glamor-magainze look about them. If Bitish girls tickel your fancy then Rampant TV has a small range of models who look as though they are, and in many cases really are, straight out of the pages of British “mens’ magazines”.
