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

[+ barullo]

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

[+ Pensant]

Hard to say. I do occasional Zoom sessions with a remote provider and we do $100 for 30 minutes, which can last for an hour with no issues.

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.

[marylander1940]

Zero... not my cup of tea, I'm only into the BFE (in person) of course.

thank you all for your replies. it gave me a good idea. @marylander1940 I agree with you, I prefer something face-to-face but I was looking for something to tide me over until that's possible )

I was just thinking about the same thing. Flirt4Free prices are insane. They charge upwards of 7 dollars a minute of which the model only gets about 1.50 dollars or even lower in some cases.

What did you use to pay the model (Paypal, ...) and did you pay beforehand or afterwards?

paypal or Venmo and I paid before

Yeah, cam shows don't do anything for me either. The RM ones are a particular rip off, with each credit worth about a dime, and 60-80 credits giving you 1 minute.

 

I've never been into porn. It lacks the feelings, smells, etc. of a live encounter.

Do you jerk off just with your imagination? I did that only when I had no porno available.

While traveling for work to Boston last November, I had a provider cancel on me at the last minute. To make it up he promised to send a couple videos to me, which he never did. Two days after I returned home he texted me at 5:50AM on a Saturday morning saying he was horny, needed to rub one out, and asked if I’d be interested in a cam show. I wanted to see this guy in action and thought he’d give me a good rate considering he cancelled and knew I was really disappointed. I asked how much and he replied $100. I asked how long of a session and he said probably 10 - 15 minutes. As foggy as I was being awakened at that hour, I was able to quickly calculate that if I extrapolated that out, he’d be getting more for an hour of cam time than he would for the two hour in-person session we had planned. I laughed and blocked his number.

Damn right. The original "mental masturbation."

Hahaha, you did good. It's the reason I'm not going the Flirt4Free route because they charge between 6 to 12 dollars a minute. Extrapolated to an hour it's QUITE a bit more than hiring someone for an hour. I have been contemplating on contacting guys I like on Rentmen and ask them to do a camshow with me 'cause I really like the interaction part of a webcam session.

I agree that Flirt4Free is a total ripoff, for the reason you mentioned. It is also a total rip-off for the cam models as well. The guys are usually from dirt-poor countries in South America and Eastern Europe. A guy from Colombia explained it as follows: Flirt4Free keeps 70%, the model gets 30%. If the model works out of a studio (a place that provides a decor and the equipment), the studio gets 50% of what the model gets. This guy accumulated 10,000 credits in one week (7 days of work), which was an exceptionally good week for him. 10,000 credits roughly equates to $1,000. Flirt4Free got $700, the studio $150 and the model $150. This is in a country where the average salary is $400/month. But still ...

Oh gosh, I need help, hahaha. This cute, cute, cute 20-something guy from Venezuela (but living in Bogota now) on Flirt4Free has me under his spell. I know full well he's only there to get me to open up my wallet (which I have been able to resist until now) but I feel like I'm edging closer. But Flirt4Free is just such a rip-off. If the guy would get a bigger cut I'd probably already be spending money on him. But now I feel I'd just be mainly lining the pockets of the site owners instead of actually helping him out in any substantial financial way.

 

Please send help, hahaha. Even after jerking off twice today and having crystal clear post-nut clarity I'm still spellbound by this cutie, hahaha. (It probably doesn't help that he looks a LOT like my previous ex-boyfriend.)

I've had a few guys offer a web session but like a lot of people here it just seems too expensive for what you get. I have purchased a home made video of a porn star before, it was definitely worth it! I tried to RM cams and it's the same guys on Adam4Adam live, etc. All seem to be Russian kids working for the same sweatshop. On A4A I've seen them jerk and fuck for free you're just capped at a certain amount of time for the demo. But if you close your browser and get back on it resets so I figure why pay for it when I can watch them for free.

Yeah, most "cam" - sites, especially the ones that Rentmen and such link to are all actually just Flirt4Free but with a different interface front, making it seem like Rentmen owns that camsite. But it's an affiliate setup where Rentmen gets a cut of what the customers spends.

Yeah it made me laugh when I saw the same exact models on both sites with the same interface but different branding. And it's shady they call it flirt4free when you have to buy credits to watch AND they expect you to tip the models! I had a sad moment with one kid who I thought was so sexy and so my type. He was new, obviously russian, and started off enthusiastic but after a couple of days he looked like he was going to cry. Apparently his handlers weren't pleased with his performances and he shortly disappeared never to be seen again. There's also a couple that just started to perform together after doing solos. The one kid is always bruised and it's obvious the other performer is abusing him just by the stuff he does to the poor kid on cam.

Please tell me what his name of flirt4free is ... I probably know him as well. Colombian guys are the hottest talent pool on f4f. Although some of the Romanians and Hungarians are pretty hot as well. There is a Romanian agency that represents many of the guys there. I need to look it up and report back;

[cany10011]

There are a lot of nice Russians online too

[xyz48B]

None.

[handiacefailure]

I wouldn't pay for online. Would rather spend the money on a porno flick I want lol

I'm surprised no one has brought this up. First, there are other sites than Flirt4Free, and some may give more to models than others. Other sites generally charge we the viewers less per minute.

 

But more importantly, once you build some trust with a model, usually by taking them private several times (and not for an hour, unless you want to), and showing you like them, they will try to give you their Skype address, and then you can pay them directly with Paypal or Western Union. Of course the cam sites will ban them for going around them, so you have to be careful and speak in code, but it's possible. Trust your gut: the sleazy (but hot) ones will take your money and run, but the others won't.

That is why many of the guys on f4f have Twitter accounts, so that you can pursue off-f4f site conversations with them there. Discretion is key.

Yeah, I'd heard about that and was considering it. Just soooo much money hahaha before you'd even get to a Skype session, I guess.

[Wolfer]

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.
