Sex Cams 101 Review: Streamate is another in a long line of live adult cam networks that use independent performers to feed their system. They are one of the largest and most trafficked live cam sites on the net with a long list of features to entice perspective members. They share the same backend, models, and infrastructure as the popular cam site Epic Cams.

Streamate offers 100% free live chat to those who create a free lifetime membership account with them. This free chat allows you to see the girl on cam (semi-clothed) and engage in some small talk to get an idea of the quality of her setup and what she is willing to do on cam. Being a popular site, you’ll find that the free chat can be filled with freeloaders at any time and can be difficult to grab the girl’s attention.

When you’ve tired yourself from small talk, you can take the girl into a private cam show where they’ll perform live just for you. Most girls will simply ask what you want to see and you can get them to do just about anything you’d like. Some girls have specialties (toys, anal, etc) and it’s worth asking the girl in the free chat prior to private on what she is willing to do for you during the show.

Each girl has a bio page that gives some basic information as well as their answers to some sexual questions like their favorite position, what turns them on, and even what languages they speak. You’ll find that you can rate the girl within her bio and also see what others have rated her. It’s a good way to make sure you aren’t blowing your money on a girl who turns out to be a dud in private. Members also have access to their picture gallery and videos which can give you some more material to work with an ensure there are no surprises when the clothes come off. Some models will even keep an updated schedule for when they will be appearing.

Streamate is fairly easy to navigate and they have one of the nicest setups for browsing the particular girls online. Besides your simple breakdown categories, they go as far as to separate girls based on hair color, nationality, and specialties. There is nice variety and there was a good selection of girls in the pregnant, BDSM, and leather/rubber categories. They also have a selection of couples, lesbians, and guys to choose from if you’re into that. There is even a tab for new models in case you’ve gotten tired of the same old girls appearing.

Some other features worth mentioning is the ability to go cam to cam with many of the girls as well as hear them via audio. You can also label favorites that you can go back to when you want. The video quality is largely dependent on the particular girl but was decent for the most part. Most of the girls seem Eastern European and Asian and working out of studios. There is still a mix of non-studio girls working from the good ole USA. We didn’t run into any language barrier problems and enjoyed the shows that we tried out.
