When it comes to adult entertainment, nothing beats a live experience.
When television first debuted, live broadcasts were all the rage (since that was often all there was.) But even when recording technologies had matured and pre-recorded entertainment was helping to expand our viewing options, live broadcasts still retained a certain allure that has proven to be evergreen. When it comes to porn, gay men are a lot like sharks. Their appetites are voracious – and they generally prefer live prey. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest (and a new appreciation) for the art of live burlesque. In addition, strip clubs have been one of the few businesses that have managed to prosper despite the current recession. When it comes to adult entertainment, nothing beats a live experience. Live sex broadcasts were never really feasible on TV due to FCC regulations, but the recent widespread deployment of broadband Internet access has brought about a host of previously impossible new services. Thanks to fast Internet access and cheap webcams, almost anyone can now broadcast their very own live sex show to folks around the world. As everyone from the guy next door to big name porn studios have begun to offer scheduled live sex shows, the live sex genre has exploded.
Although it’s not legal to go “all the way” in most jurisdictions, there are still quite a few places where you can go to see live sex shows in person. Usually held at adult theaters or sex clubs, these can involve anything from g-string clad gyrating to nude dancing, masturbation, and even actual sex between performers. For a long time, you had to turn up your collar and try to duck in the door quickly at these establishments if you didn’t want people to know what you were doing. Thanks to the Internet, however, you can now enjoy this kind of live entertainment in total anonymity wherever you have a computer with a broad- band Internet connection. Most of the more popular gay porn sites that create their own content now offer scheduled live performances in which their top stars have sex. Some of these shows are even interactive, with fans being able to communicate with the performers via text, voice, and video messaging in special chat rooms. Even sites that don’t create their own content tend to at least offer syndicated feeds of live shows, thanks to their incredible popularity.
One great example of a high-quality, well-produced live show is Randy Blue Live. These weekly shows are broadcast in hi-definition for subscribers and feature interactive, two-way chat. Soon after each show is complete, they are added to the site’s archive for folks who were unable to view the live broadcast, or who would like to watch it again. Since there’s no script, fans really feel like they are seeing something genuine. When you add in the spontaneity of two-way chat, you get a truly unique and immersive experience. One of gay porn’s most famous and popular live shows has long been Channel 1 Releasing’s Live and Raw. A premium membership at the site gives you access to hi-def live sex shows featuring some of gay porn’s biggest stars, as well as an enormous archive of past shows. With the option to buy time by the minute, C1R has led the way in providing flexible pricing and payment options to suit every consumer preference.
If you prefer your porn to be a little more homegrown (and a little more straight) you’ll love Str8cam where site founder Jeff puts on his own live shows and also hosts the live cam feeds of other hot guys.
Another big studio with amazing live shows is Hot House with their Backroom Live. Polished and always hot, this is the only place to see their exclusive hunks per- forming live. Since almost every big studio and website now offers high-quality live shows, it’s all about the guys and which ones you’re into. On Men Live, you’ll also find great live shows. There’s not enough space to list all of the excellent sites that have live shows, but the sites above are a great place to start.
LIVE CHAT SITES
Livesex shows often feature interactivity, but it’s more about watching big name stars having sex live. The interactivity is just a bonus. At live chat sites, however, it’s all about the interactivity. Now that’s it’s so easy and inexpensive for anyone with an Internet connection to become a live chat model, the genre has exploded. At any given moment, you can find literally thousands of different guys online across the various live video services. Most of them are broadcasting in public chat rooms that you can tune into for free, too. One of the most well known services is Flirt4Free. Here you’ll find to chat with you. You don’t even have to create a free account to get started. All you need to do is create a username to represent yourself and with one click you’ll be in a live chat. Chat hosts begin their broadcasts in public rooms that anyone can access. You’re free to talk with the model and with the other viewers, getting to know one another. If you want to see the model get completely naked and have actual sex, however, you’ll need to take them into either a private chat or a group chat (a special feature available to site subscribers.) Here the models are free to get naked and to go all the way as they explore your fantasies with you. Although you’re free to remain anonymous, those with webcams of their own can also engage in a two-way video chat with the live models. This adds a whole new dimension to the experience., for both the viewer and the models.
At Real Live Guys you can browse feeds from webcam models all around the chats or live, one-on-one, on demand sex shows. At Gay IM Live you’ll also find cool extras like special themed video competitions, iPod downloads -of archived shows (now offered by many live chat sites), and a service called Better Together that allows you to engage in simultaneous live chat with two different models (something that definitely creates some intriguing new possibilities!) Another of their innovations is “Live keyholes”, a feature that gives you glimpses into the public and private chat rooms of multiple models.
There are now quite a few live chat services and most of them are actually quite similar. Each has its own special features, interface, and pricing – but the differences are often subtle. More and more, it all comes down to the talent on offer. If a site has guys that turn you on, that’s the one folks tend to go with. So it’s worth checking out lots of different sites. It’s usually free to view public chats, so there’s truly nothing to lose.
Excellent live chat sites you should investigate include Cam4, Gay Camz, Boy Live Sex, Camera Boys, Pornication, Live Jasmin, Gay Naked Chat, and Cam Boys Live. At some sites, such as Streamen, you’ll find both amateur guys and porn stars on offer.
One of the most unique new live chat sites is Fuck Roulette from Treasure Island Media. It’s the only place where you can interact live with actual Treasure Island Media stars, as well as other T.I.M. fans. All you need is a webcam, but the service itself is free. It will randomly match you up with another live chat partner. Just click a button and BAM! – you’re in a live chat with another hot guy. Don’t like what you see? Just click again to give the virtual Fuck Roulette wheel another spin. On a busy night, it can be incredibly fun. If you need to work up your courage first, you can check out things out without having a webcam, too. But for the true experience, you should participate.
GAY SPYCAMS AND LIVE VOYEUR SITES
If live, two-way chat intimidates you or you juts happen to be more of a voyeur, there’s actually more for you than just one-way live sex shows. With their addictively intriguing mix of unpredictability and realism, spycam sites offer a truly unique gay porn experience. At sites like Spy On Dudes and Sneaky Peek you can watch videos of guys caught on surveillance cameras as they jerk off or have sex. Although it’s not actually live, the footage is genuine. As a result, it’s like watching an archive of a live show – except that these aren’t shows so much as documentary footage! If you don’t mind being patient, you can actually witness voyeur cam action as it unfolds live at sites like Boys Condo and College Boys Live. The premise at such sites usually involves putting up a group of hot guys at a big house where spycams capture their activities 24/7 in every room. Although the guys know that they are being broadcast, it doesn’t take long for them to forget that the cameras are there. There will often be scheduled shows where you can interact live with specific models (which is a great when you have a favorite guy who you’re interested in), but other than that you’ll just see the guys going about their lives and being themselves as they watch TV, shower, jerk off, joke around, argue, and fuck! It’s like Big Brother, but with an X-rated spin.
If you can’t make up your mind about which type of live sex site to try, you can’t go wrong with a Badpuppy subscription. At Badpuppy, one affordable membership gets you access to the entire Badpuppy network of sites and also Badpuppy original content. The network includes sites that feature every type of live content, including access to Boys Condo, College Boys Live Orlando, Hot Cam Boiz, Montreal Boys Live, Naked Frat House, Show Guys, Prague Buddies, and more.
ANATOMY OF A LIVE CHAT STAR
BRENT STERLING OF FLIRT 4 FREE
Ever since becoming a Flirt4Free chat host in 2009, Brent Sterling has been knocking the socks off of live chat fans. His blond hair, blue eyes, and beautifully sculpted muscles are made all the more attractive by his friendly, down-to-earth personality. When it comes to exploring private fantasies, Brent is never judgmental and is always game to try something new. Being bisexual, he’s got a broad perspective that makes it easy for him to relate to different people. And when he’s not getting into your pants, Brent has just as much fun getting into your head with interesting conversations. Recently, we had a chance to ask Brent some questions about his live chat work.
Were you nervous when you did your first live broadcast?
Of course, but I’m a born exhibitionist and I’ve been using web cams for fun since they first came
out. I remember the adrenaline I felt when I first went into a private chat. I was so excited and horny. I kept hoping he was having a good time. I couldn’t really tell because he wasn’t typing a lot. I can’t imagine what else he might have been doing with his hands! The show was hot and that first client actually still stops in to chat.
Now that you’re an established chat host, what advice would you give to someone starting out?
A lot of people might stress out over sitting in the main room and not going private right away. The important thing to remember is that people are there to have fun and to get to know you. If you’re sitting there concerned about getting privates and making money, your audience will notice. It’s important to enjoy yourself. After all, if you’re not having fun, you should do something else – right?
Do many guys take advantage of the 2-way video chat?
Yes, they do! I think it’s hot when I can see what the other person is like. It’s always easier to communicate when you have more to go on than just text. Although, in this line of work, a vivid imagination is an important asset!
Besides your appearance, what are some other secrets to your popularity?
In webcam chats – as in life – people just want to be understood. It’s important to ask questions and to listen to what a client wants to get out of the show. Some folks have very detailed fetishes. There are some that I had never heard of before, but that are now a turn-on for me. It’s also important to try to reply to everyone you can in public chats, including people who aren’t site members yet.
How do you prepare yourself for a live broadcast?
In order to look good, you have to feel good, so I spend a lot of time working out. I try to get plenty of sleep, and just before going on I get myself worked up by watching some of my favorite porn. Like I said – If I’m not horny, I’m not on cam… It’s a good thing that I’m horny pretty much all the time!
Are you ever surprised at the things people say in chat rooms?
Let’s just say that I learn something new and exciting every day. Having clothes pins clamped to my balls was certainly a surprising request.
What was your most memorable live chat?
I recently asked my divorced buddy Joby Vance to do a show with me.
One of my regular customers requested that we start the show in full football gear, with butt plugs up our asses and cock rings on underneath our jock straps. He had us literally ripping each other’s clothes off and flip-flop fucking one another. He even had Joby fuck me with a giant dildo, which hurt a bit. We ended up cumming on each other… all live and uncut. That was one of my
favorite shows so far.
