How much to pay for an online cam/chat session?

[+ RJD]

Well, so far I've been able to resist spending ANY money on Flirt4free but I have been perusing, hahaha. The more I do it, though, the less interested I get. Even though the guys, on average, are hotter than on chaturbate or Cam4, almost every single one of them just sit completely disinterested in front of the webcam. I get that for a lot of them it's grunt work, but even when I, or others, started chatting with them they rarely engage. They just watch a tv-show or make calls to friends. So off-putting.

 

Only one guy was able to hold my attention because he kept playing with his dick through his underwear and smiling.

 

I used to watch Cam4 (and WebCamNow when it still existed) for hours. It wasn’t as token/payment centered back then and the guys were much more engaging. You had the ability to tip, but most of the guys performed for free. As it became more monetized the guys became less engaged. They’d look for tips in the room and then you had to pay for a semi-private show to see anything. I’ll save my coin for my in-person regulars.

On Chaturbate I've seen some really hot action the past few days but mostly that's because there's already people in the chat room tipping. I did end up spending money on Flirt4Free, hahaha. On the guy who was constantly smiling, touching his dick and actively engaged me. I'm glad I had the experience but not worth the money seeing as how little of it actually reaches the performer. It is a different experience than just watching porn, though, the personal interactive element I really enjoyed.

Everyone and their brother is doing OnlyFans right now, but that's just posting videos.

 

It seems like some OF people also don't have any demos, so you have to pay for a month just to look.

Doing cam shows, not within a service system (i.e. streamate or flirt4free), I averaged about $100 for an half hour to an hour. Some went over that time for that same rate.

What platform/service do you use for this? I would worry a bit about using Zoom.

Skype

Skype

As we have learned, Zoom can be hacked and "Bombed". Can the same happen with skype?

I don't know. However, no one has hacked or bombed my account during a session.

I’m really surprised how many guys on here pay for porn. That’s not a judgement. Just a statement of surprise.

I've been looking at models on that site for some time and haven't paid a cent. You actually get to see quite a bit except it's not what would be the "extended" versions of their shows or become interactive making requests. Many of the guys are hot and tend to be more from Latin countries (Colombia by far). I never interact with them since not being a paying customer I feel I should not be doing that but yesterday I entered a room and this snotty model texted "do you have anything to say or JUST WATCHING." Yep, he used caps! He then kicked me out for bad behavior and oddly I exhibited no behavior. So now I'm depressed and will seek counseling. Flirt4Free may even offer such services!

I’ve done 100$ for a 20 minute session with an OF twink from Germany. Another online F4F guy I met online suggested that we do skype sessions for 100$ for 30 minutes- win win as he keeps more of the cash and it’s cheaper for me than his 100 credits per minute online. Virtual sex is not the same as in person, but a cheap and convenient alternative.

[Zeehr0]

Does it seem like 100 (over Venmo or something) for a half-hour cam show is a lot considering that you could have a guy in person for around 200-250 for a full hour? Like, isn’t meeting in-person much more work considering you are actually physically with the person, traveling, etc.?

I must admit, I was into the cam-shows, particularly CockyCams, for a good bit - between March and early June when I was a little weary going out and still horny AF. I was astonished by how much money I had splurged in those times (sometimes 500 to 1K in one night) and while there is some satisfaction visually (especially when you take some models into private), nothing beats the physical touch and intimacy that in-person sessions provide. It also does not help that some cam-to-cam shows are one-sided, meaning they can talk to me, but I have to type out what to tell them. I mean, I do not have three hands - two to type and one to...you know. In hindsight, if I were to actually interact with them virtually (i.e., them seeing me online), I just don't know if I am being recorded with my face without my permission. So yea, I have since stopped that habit.

Zero here as well. I'd rather spend my money on in person meets. Plenty of free porn online. I only have purchased a "crazy ticket" on chaturbate occasionally for a group cum show. But then it's usually only about 50 tokens which is $5. And that's only a few times a month when I been watching a good show on there and wanna see the ending.

Speaking of online cam / chat session, a provider at one point introduced me to a concept called web ring (actually, it had been so long no longer sure if that was the right term). Essentially it's like a no-cost, multi-person zoom meeting where folks jerk off to each other's feeds, or sometimes the meeting organizer plays porn that is shared during the zoom call. I attended one of them but left pretty early, just did not find it appealing.

In your opinion, what's the ideal amount (USD) to pay for an online "experience"? Let's say one hour.

 

$ 0

Same here.

[Studsearcher]

To me it’s as pointless as paying for an in person meet without any physical interaction. I guess enough guys do it or the industry wouldn’t exist.

true!

I remember a time when phone sex was popular too.

[jeezifonly]

I’d risk an hour in a (ventilated) place, spaced say 8’ apart with a well shaped show-off who’s in love with showing... If I add disco lights and some disinfectant, it might take me back to The Gaiety...????

We agree!!! ?

[Bootybuilder]

I charge $50/10 mins or $75 if they want me to cum.

More specific to muscle clients from the best flex. Don’t like to do long shows personally.

[RuffLeatherPig]

Right now I been letting the client decide what to tip. They direct the show how they want and then can tip whatever they feel is reasonable.

I still have my little "black book" of the phone numbers of the guys I used to get off with over the landline phone - dating myself once again. But back then, my mind truly was the most powerful sex organ. My imagination ran completely wild talking to those guys sometimes several in one evening. And I didn't spend a dime!

I've thought about this, because until covid hit last spring, I traveled constantly and would see masseurs/escorts in other cities. I have to believe that these guys' incomes are down these days with covid fears -- or am I wrong? So I have wondered (but haven't yet done anything about it) if i could hire them for a "virtual" session -- zoom or similar -- I wouldn't pay as much as for a real session, but I'd be open to doing this. Would they want to do it? Thanks for your advice.
