SecretFriends.com is one of the oldest cam sites, at 22 years old as I write this, it is a bit mind-bending to think that many of the girls broadcasting there were not even born when it launched!
One thing that always made SF a popular site was that their models, although they mostly worked out of Romanian studios, were often very friendly and personable. A lot of viewers became (over) attached to their favorite SecretFriends camgirl and would try to strike up real friendships.
Whatever the sense or not sense there is in this, it was a mark of how likable the camgirls there were. Now that may or may not still be true, because to be honest there isn’t a lot more talk about the site than there used to be, but at least visually and on the surface the models are similar to how they always were.
At SF you find a lot of blond, white, young models waiting patiently for you to talk to them. A lot of the models have been broadcasting here for a long time.
Although never one of the largest sites, despite its age, SecretFriends has managed to stay relevant by having a nice selection of models, or a selection of nice models if you want to think about it like that. They also keep the features of the site reasonably up-to-date so you won’t find the site feels “old” the way some OG camgirl sites do.
Are you a seasoned viewer or new to the cam scene, I’ll include some important things you need to know about SecretFriends to make sure you get the best from the site.
Getting Started
Who is SecretFriends.com?
SecretFriends.com is part of the AdultPrime network which is a set of porn video sites you may recognize. They operate SF as their “LiveCams” arm while keeping the original look and feel consistent with its classic style. This means you’ll enjoy a user-friendly interface that doesn’t overwhelm and is presently plain visually, but focuses on chatting with the girls.
You have to know that this is a paid porn site though, don’t expect to get too much here without being guided into a for-pay channel. While you can browse the models for free, engaging in private chats will require you to purchase credits.
Before you can really enjoy the site, even to browse, you will need to create a free account though because unregistered guests will keep being prompted to join. As a basic account is free and just needs an email/password just get it done.
How to Join
Anyone can join SecretFriends.com. All you need is a functional email, you do not need to pay anything or show any ID or cards. Just provide your email address, choose a username or “Chatname” and specify a password.
Or you can use your Google / Gmail account to set up your SF account. That means your @gmail.com email address will be used, but you get a random username like “User123456789” which you should change right away in your “My Profile” section as soon as you are logged in.
Once you’ve set up your account, you can start exploring the site. Take your time to browse through the models who are online and find someone who has the look you like. Then read their profile, yes please do read our profiles, to see if she is still a match for you.
Camgirl profiles provide details about the model, including their schedule and special skills, which can help you decide who you’d like to chat with. Most of the models at SF are not native English speakers and they may not write that much about themselves, but on most profiles, you also get comments from their fans who highlight what they liked, or didn’t like, about each model.
Interacting with Models
Once you’ve found a model you’re interested in, it’s time to start a conversation. Try being nice and polite. They have all heard how hot they are, so try to say something interesting to show you appreciate them without sounding too hollow. Remember, camgirls are people too and while we are here to please you, that’s our job, everybody likes a nice friendly working environment. Treating us with kindness can lead to a more enjoyable experience for both of us.
TIP: Start by asking about their day or mentioning something from their profile. This shows that you’re interested in them as a person, not just as a performer. And show you understand they are working here by comments like “How is your shift going?”
How to Chat
To chat with a model, enter a chatroom. You can chat in the window on the right side of the model’s stream. Use the Whisper mode to send private messages to the model. You can also resize the chat window and stream window for a better viewing experience.
Finding the right girl
While the number of girls online is not as large as a site such as Stripchat or Chaturbate, SecretFriends.com offers a more selective choice of girls. And it isn’t all the high-end glamour models you find at LiveJasmin or Flirt4Free, with prices to match.
At SF you might have to spend a bit more time browsing to find the perfect match, but it also means that the models you’ll encounter have often been chosen for their engaging personalities and special talents.
To make your search easier, use the site’s filters to narrow down options based on specific preferences like hair color, body type, or special skills. This way, you can quickly find someone who matches your tastes and start enjoying meaningful interactions.
As well as Filters you can just use tags: they have a range which goes like this:
asian, back on, bad girl, bbw, bdsm, big ass, big boobs, black hair, blonde, blue eyes, braces, braids, brown eyes, brunette, bubble butt, busty, charming, colored hair, costumes, cougar, couple, curly hair, curvy, cute, dancing, dreadlocks, ebony, erotic model, ETV Girl, fetish, fit, flexible, foot fetish, freckles, full lips, gina gerson, glasses, granny, green eyes, grey eyes, grey hair, hairy pussy, hardcore, high heels, latina, lesbians, lingerie, long hair, long legs, mature, milf, mistress, natural boobs, outfits, pantyhose, pawg, petite, piercings, pornstar, pregnant, redhead, sex toy, short hair, shy, skinny, small boobs, squirting, Stars Only, stockings, striptease, tall, tanned, tattoos, teaser, teen, tip toy, trans, vibrating toy, voluptuous, wig
Again, not as big as Stripchat tags or some other sites tags but still good.
What you will see
Models at SecretFriends are supposed to keep their bodies covered in free public chat, and they do, most of the time, at least partly. You’ll see plenty of lingerie, lace and see-through clothes. As well as brief “accidental” flashes to let you know what you are missing.
If you like what you see you had better be prepared to at least tip, even if you are not going to go private or VIP yet. More on those later.
How to Tip
Tipping is an essential part of camming at SecretFriends as it is on most sites. There are tip buttons at the bottom of the video, where you can choose set amounts or type in the number you like. A 1 credit tip is fine to get a model’s attention, but if you are expecting to get some
- Direct Tipping: Tip various amounts or express your mood with stickers (spank, love, kiss, etc.). You can also send preset GIFs or custom ones.
- Indirect Tipping: Send tips to models even when they’re offline. You can also tip anonymously.
- Make it Rain!: Select up to 5 models with interactive toys and make it rain with credits. Watch them all go crazy at once!
- Gifts: Send virtual gifts to the models.
- Selfies: Send the model a selfie for 1 credit per photo.
- Top Tips Bonus Feature: Models and members who tip the most win bonuses. Help your favorite models reach the top!
Model Info, Schedule, Photos, and Recordings
Under the chatroom window, you can find a model’s profile, schedule, photos, and recordings. Follow your favorite models to receive notifications when they’re live. You can also contact models via Private Messages and send them text messages and pictures for free.
Get verified
A free account is good but a verified account is better, once you have a verified user account you will be able to:
Open private messaging
Do “Whisper” in text chat
Take and save snapshots of the video feeds
Mark girls you like to be “Followed”
Be able to write on the Guestbook in models profiles.
Just like at MyFreeCams the way to get this better account status, called Premium at MFC and Verified at Secretfriends, is to make at least one credit purchase. It basically proves you are a real person with an adult credit card.
Though actually you can pay via PayPal as well, or if you have a Dutch bank account via “iDEAL” which is a payment system in The Netherlands apparently.
That’s a clue that SecretFriends has a business office in Holland somewhere I suppose.
Do a one-time purchase of 10 credits for $10, so basically a credit is a dollar, and then you are good to know.
Advanced Chat Modes
SecretFriends offers various advanced chat modes to enhance your experience:
- Premium Group Chat: Chat with a model alone or in a group for 1 credit per minute.
- Private: Privately chat with a model or have a private show for 2 credits per minute. Other members can peek into the show for 1 credit per minute.
- VIP 1 on 1: Exclusively talk to a model and have a private VIP show for 3 credits per minute. In this mode, you can also hear each other via the cam2cam feature.
- Cam 2 Cam: This feature is free in VIP and Private chat modes. It allows you to see each other with the model.
- Dates: Plan a pre-paid VIP session with a model. If the model doesn’t accept or respond to the date request, the credits are refunded automatically.
- Rooms for Verified Members Only: Only verified users can enter these rooms. Verified means you have bought credits before.
Now the private show at 2 credits a minute, and remember that is two dollars a minute, is really an excellent deal given the sort of models who are available here.
Custom User Settings
Customize your profile by clicking on the icon on the right side of the top navbar and then clicking the “My Profile” button. Here you can edit your nickname, allow or block private messages from models, set the order of models on the LIVE page, and more.

Buying Credits
To buy credits, click on “Add credits” at the top of the site, select a package, and process the payment. You can also add small amounts of credits directly from the chatroom. Check your credit balance in the top right corner or in your account overview.
Membership Cost
There are no membership fees as such, you create a free account and that is it forever. No recurring and no monthly fees. You get charged only when you choose to add credits to your accounts so you can tip or have private shows.
Games and Winning Credits
SecretFriends offers various games where you can win credits:
- Secret Spinners: A sexy slot machine game where you can win up to 500 credits.
- Roll the Dice: Roll doubles to win credits. The model wins the same amount as you do.
- Scratch Cards: Scratch and win up to 830 credits.
- Secret Wheel of Fortune: Select up to 5 models and spin the wheel to win credits.
- Secret 5-Card Draw Poke Her: Play poker and win up to 830 credits.
Model Privacy
Respect the models’ privacy at all times, as I mentioned earlier a lot of people fall for Secretfriends models and want to get closer to them in real life. This is not a good idea and any attempt to know where the models “really” are or try to get into their real-world private lives is going to be bad for you, bad for them, and will probably get your account canceled. Don’t be that guy!
Are camgirls addictive?
That’s a bigger topic that this article can fully cover, but it’s worth touching on briefly. Cam sites like SecretFriends can become more than just fun for some users. Perhaps because they offer a sense of connection and interaction that some people are missing in real life. That can lead to spending more time and money than is sensible.
Just like any cam site, make sure you use SecretFriends for entertainment purposes only; it is a fun hobby. Set limits on your spending and time online. Like the Gambler says, “Know when to walk away”.
Keep track of your spending and time on the site, and remember that while these interactions can feel personal, they’re part of a business transaction however friendly and sexy it might be.
Enjoy your time on SecretFriends and have fun exploring all the features the platform has to offer!
Hard to argue with that Tom, we have to keep camming clean!
Then those that aren’t age verified should be age verified.
