Looking for live cam shows and chat with guys, girls and shemales? If so, Webcams may be just the ticket. While the site focuses more on women than guys, there are 1720 models listed in Gay Guys and 99 listed in Couples (gay). You can browse the models and check out profiles by category. Membership to Webcams gives you access to free chat for all the performers who are online at any given time - as long as their webcam isn't disabled. The first time I visited the site, there were 400 models online but only 8 were live in the Gay Guys section and 3 in the gay Couples section, with models coming and going all the time.
When models are listed as "Available for Chat", that generally means you can click the button that says "Get FREE Chat" to see them on cam and chat with them. I found some models who were listed as available came up as "Webcam Disabled", so just beacuse a model is listed isn't a guarantee that he or she is on cam - or that he or she is willing to chat for free. Out of the 11 guys listed when I came back a second time, I found 6 guys had their cams on for free chat, although only 1 had sound, and the rest had their cams off, though one told me he was naked and if I wanted to see him, I had to do a private session.
The live chat is offered in Flash format and is shown at around 320x240. It's about average quality for live cam video and if you want you can enlarge the video to a bigger size - around 640x480 - but the video loses a lot of quality at that size. Some of the models have sound on their webcams, but most of the models I checked out did not. The hottest one did, however, and it sounded pretty good.
Once you join Webcams, Private chat is "2.99 credits" per minute - whatever that means. Since some credits cost a dollar each and some - those boughti n bulk - cost less than a dollar, I'd guess that this means that a minute can cost anywhere from around $2.50 to $2.99 each. That's actually a better price than a lot of the live cam sites I've visited, although some of them had higher quality video and more of the models had sound. Still, if you find a model you want to watch for a while - jacking off takes time, you know - the price isn't bad.
In addition to the live chat, most of the models listed - and there are thousands of them total - have a profile and many also have a pic gallery. The pics are webcam pics and some only have a few up, but others have a pretty good collection. Keep in mind that these are webcam pics, but do give a good idea of what each model is like.
The site does have one more feature - if you have a webcam, you can show yourself to the models as well as watching them in action. That could be lots of fun.
While I was checking out Webcams, I noticed that a lot of the guys - and some of the girls - that I was seeing were from the Philippines and rather than tease or chat, many would almost immediately try and convince people watching them to buy some time in private. I must admit that I'm more likely to want to spend time - and money - on a model who takes their time, but most of the models I chatted with were not all that friendly. One of the chicks - called VeryCherry - was friendly and loved teasing the guys watching her. She's great if you're into women. Sexy, pretty, a great smile and really gave a great show in free chat, and even better in private.
Webcams does offer an interesting collection of search options. The advanced search allows you to search models by name, eye color, age, date they joined the site, category and a bunch of other options, although there's no way to sort all the models who are online only by highest rated.
Webcams does have a lot of models, although there are definitely more chicks than guys by a large margin. You can browse the models on the tour - use the dropdown on the upper right to change categories - and you can check out their profiles and pics. You can also see how many are live before deciding if you want to join or not. Members get access to the free live chats, which not all the models take part in fully but many do. In order to go private with a model, you must pay around $2.99 per minute, and you can also show yourself to the model if you have a webcam. If you're looking for live models, why not check out Webcams and see what you think?
