As a model, I always ask what my customer wants in my private show. I know it is important because a customized, pre-agreed cam show is more enjoyable for him, and less stressful for me. Why do you want to “go private”? Is it because you have been watching and talking to the model for a while and you are completely turned on by her? Or is it simply you are so horny that you need to find the hottest model and release that pressure?
Customize your Private Shows by setting filters
Which situation I mentioned above happens to you more often? If you are the second type then a cam site that provides more filtering and customization might be what you need. These features allow you to narrow down your search to find models who meet your specific desires, whether it’s physical attributes, price, language, or activities they are willing to perform. You waste less time on visiting a sexy-looking model but after talking to her you find that she doesn’t do your fetish or hasn’t got the garment you want.
2 Types of Cam Sites when showing Private Show Options
Unfortunately, no single cam site offers everything you might want. They typically cover one of your criteria but not most, let alone all. There are basically 2 types of cam sites when it comes to filtering for private shows.
1. No filtering at all for private shows. You are on your own. You go to the home page and see numerous online cam girls’ thumbnails. Most of the time the girls will have the private show option on, but this is not necessarily true. You have to visit her room and find out if the “Go Private” button is available. If a private show is available, then you have to find out if she will play the way you like.
Alternatively, you first filter out the girls that meet one of your criteria, be it ethnic group, appearance, or niche, then you pick them one by one to see if they want to go private and then find out the cost per minute, and etc.
Examples of this type of cam site include MyFreeCams, Cams.com, and Flirt4free. Don’t get me wrong. These are perfectly good cam sites. MyFreeCams and Flirt4free have the cutest, prettiest, and hottest girls you’ve ever seen, you will get hard or fall in love with her instantly. Just that these are some of the oldest sites and are a bit clumsy or behind in terms of the user interface. Unlike newer sites like Stripchat or Camsoda, which have more sophisticated categorizing, filtering, and searching.
2. Limited filtering for private shows. Cam sites I mentioned in this section are aware of giving you an easy access to models who will do private shows. They either have a very clear “Best for Privates” (based on show ratings like Stripchat or Bongacams), or “Private Shows” (models already in private) sections, or categorize the models by the private costs so that you can start “shopping”.
What filters can be set?
Rating of the shows
A super hot model may look great in the chatroom but can she deliver a good custom show for you in private? That’s where rating from other fellow audience help.
Quite some cam sites encourage you to rate the show when it’s finished. Because it does help everyone to decide, especially if the price is on the high side for you. 90 tokens/minute? Is she worth it? If you’ve seen 10s or over hundred reviews and rating of top scores then you will be more confident that you are going to enjoy an epic show from her.
Unfortunately, after collecting ratings for the shows, there are not many cam sites make good use of them. Only Stripchat and Bongacams create a new category “Best for Privates” and the models are listed per ranking. The higher rank, best show models are listed on the top and it does make it easier for you to choose. You can read my article about where to find the best models for private show here, or you can go straight to Stripchat and Bongacams and see it for yourself.
Private Show Price and Costs
Now, you may have a budget in your mind tonight. You want to spend a certain amount and not go over it. By using the price filter, you can find models who fit within your financial limits, ensuring you get the best experience without breaking the bank.
As a reference, a $49.99 package from Stripchat costs about $0.093 a token. That means a Stripchat model who charges 24 tokens/min costs you $2.23/min. It can be cheaper if you buy a bigger package. See my post about Stripchat token cost here. So a 10-minute private show from a 24-token/min model costs you about $23.
Choosing the Language the Model Speaks
As a cam girl, I remember there was a time when I agreed with a guy to do a Skype show via SkyPrivate. When the show began he told me that he wanted me to be a babysitter for his family and I needed to discuss my problems with him. (so that he could start to comfort me and we started to be more intimate until it got sexual. That is his fancy.) So I started to talk to him in English. After a minute, he said it’s no good. He said “You don’t speak English!”. I gathered what he meant is that, I have a plain generic international English accent while he is looking for a girl of American accent, plus I am not a native English speaker so my English will be a bit clumsy or even with grammatical errors. In the end, I refunded him. But it just shows that cam girl speaks in a different accent or in different language may not work for everyone. If that is you, then you will need to find a cam site that easily lets you pick cam girls that speak the language you want.
Finding the Niches and/or Appearance you want
Additionally, if you have specific preferences such as hair length, hair color, body type, or particular niches and ways of playing, you need a cam site that can let you filter quickly the perfect match for your show.
With Stripchat, you can filter on these under the “Best for Privates” category:
- age
- ethnicity
- appearance
- and activities on request (there is a long list of tens of activities like role play, shower, fisting, teasing, medical play, just to name a few)
Exclusive private/Cam2cam/Recordable
There are different types of cams you may want as well.
Exclusive Private Shows
Exclusive private – when you want her undivided attention or you are simply not in the mood to share. It depends on the site, the model may be shown a list of people in her room. Typically only you and your model are the two people on the list but if spying or voyeuring is allowed then she will see that there are voyeurs. Voyeurs mean extra money for the show. Again different models have different mindset. She may work extra hard to keep both you and the voyeurs happy, or she can be distracted by checking how much she earns from the voyeur and her attention is diverted from you. Personally I charge less for spy cam but to my surprise it is not uncommon for models to charge more for a spy show than a standard private show. If that’s the case, your requirements may not be on the top of her list.
Cam2Cam
Cam2cam – Cam-to-cam or two-way cam are preferred by some but not everyone. Some are afraid to show themselves because they don’t want to risk being blackmailed. Which one is you? I suppose it depends on trust too. If you have been watching this model for some time and know her personality and what she is like, you may judge whether it’s safe to show yourself, and whether you have a stronger desire to show her what her personality and hot body has done to your cock. It is perfectly normally and sensible to do cam2cam case-by-case. If you are new to cam2cam sex, then check out my ultimate guide on c2c sex here.
Recordable Private Show
Recordable private show – Most cam sites are equipped with the ability to record your model’s private show with you so that you can enjoy it again later. But it is also the models’ concern to not want their intimate moments being shared in other forums or hardcore video sites by audiences of different intentions, so the cam site typically allows the model to opt out from being recorded. If the recordability doesn’t matter to you, then it’s fine; otherwise, check it out.
Conclusion
Everyone loves a great show. Sometimes we can plan ahead and sometimes there may be surprises too. I just have a viewer told me that he had a good cum from a gamer girl although he doesn’t play games himself. But he said that the model was so turned on, her face flushed, her pussy pulsed and she made him jerk and cum in the end. There are many ways to make things work. Happy exploring!
