Every year Pornhub releases its “year in review” report which offers insight into the type of porn people are searching for. Among the most-searched terms globally for 2018 are “threesome,” “amateur threesome,” “gangbang,” “orgy,” “cuckold,” “group sex,” and “double penetration.” If you are one of the people searching those things, y’all ought to try supporting live couple cam shows!
What is an amateur couple cam show?
Porn is good at selling you fumble-free sex, but when it comes to a passionate romance, most scripted pornos fall short of sealing the deal. That’s not to say no porn studio or set of performers has nailed the aesthetics of true love, it’s just very rarely done well. But when you put models that are actually dating each other in front of the camera, well, that’s when you can see sparks really fly–which is exactly what live couple cams aim to do. Similar to other live sex cams, couple cams deliver authentic live streams of people who are dating IRL or just happen to know each other really well.
But if the quality is your concern, you’ll be pleased to learn that some streams are available in super high-quality (comparable to 4K porn), while others rock the amateur aesthetics using a grainer webcam. So regardless of your preferences, live cams are just as diverse as the world of prerecorded pornos.
How do live cam sites work?
Adult cam sites connect models (or cam girls) looking to stream a live performance with an audience for a percentage of their earnings. How much of the models’ earnings are forfeited depends on the site but also varies according to viewer count, hours logged online, a person’s popularity on-site, etc.
You’ll notice when joining an adult cam site that one of the first things it’ll ask you is if you’d like to log on as a model or subscriber. Once you’ve selected your reason for signing up, complete the membership application and verify your identity via email, you’ll be able to start streaming.
Most cam sites are free to join but will require users to have some form of the site’s currency–tokens, coins, points (or whatever they may call it) in order to receive private shows, tip performers, access spycams (or view someone else’s private show in ghost mode), or have the model act out your fantasy in a public show. Depending on the site, viewers will either be able to choose a monthly membership plan (which usually offers some form of unlimited access to the site) or purchase coins that can be redeemed for live stream access or put towards tips/gifts. But when it comes to gifting/tipping models, it’s important to keep in mind that the brand still profits off of these exchanges. In other words, the model won’t be receiving your full tip. So if you really want to show your gratitude, you’ll make it a habit of tipping extra after every show.
As for the models, in addition to receiving a percentage of tips, you’ll also cash in on a percentage of the credits used to access your live stream. But it’s imperative that models remember to claim any tips or cash gifts received on their taxes. Otherwise, they’ll risk opening up a can of worm with the IRS. That said, if you’re a model looking to minimize your number of claims, you need to ask to be tipped using gift cards or sign up for a P.O. box and create an Amazon wishlist for viewers to purchase and ship items directly to you (without ever seeing your address).

Best couple cam sites
1) CamSoda
Considered to be one of the top sites for live webcam, dildos, and ass shows, CamSoda is also one of the best sites for models–it pays out around 50% of their earned revenue, with “Popular Models” taking home an even larger percentage. The site hosts a diverse model base, exclusive HD videos, a dating site, and even offers registered viewers access to free videos (just remember to tip!).
Joining is free, but if you’d like to access the entire site you’ll need some tokens.
Membership options (payable by credit/debit card or PayPal):
2) LiveJasmin
LiveJasmin is one of the most popular sites for amateur live cams. Not only does the site host a diverse range of models, but it also has its own VibraToy category, which makes finding the specific set of sex toy cams you want a breeze. Unfortunately, LiveJasmin doesn’t have a filter or category specifically for couples, meaning you’ll have to manually preview every room to find what you’re looking for. Not the best search option as far as navigation goes, but the content you do find available will be in stunning HD.
New members can join for free and will automatically receive $9.99 in video credits as well as 50% off their first credits purchase. After that, you can purchase more credits or individual videos for anywhere between $0.98 to $9.99+ (depending on the content). Additionally, models receive anywhere from 30 to 60% of total earnings, and the minimum payout from the site is $100.
Membership options (payable by credit/debit card or PayPal):
3) MyCams
A sister site to Jasmin, MyCams is also one of the best live cam sites for models (payout wise), and users looking for live sex cams of couples. MyCams.com pays out an average of 60% of a user’s total earnings, which is higher than most other site commissions. Other great perks of using MyCams are its expansive video collection, diverse model selection (despite only showcasing ciswomen on the homepage), and sleek site layout. But like LiveJasmin, there is no couples category or filter, so you’ll again have to dig deep to find what you’re looking for.
New subscribers can join for free and will automatically receive $9.99 in video credits. After that, you can purchase more credits or individual videos for anywhere between $0.98 to $9.99+ (depending on the content).
Membership options (payable by credit/debit card or PayPal):
4) Chaturbate
What is Chaturbate? Consider it THE site for real cam girls, guys, and their toys. Models set the rates for these shows and expect tips for good service, but you’ll get what you pay for. Chaturbate supports a number of apps that allow models to gamify their experiences–like letting users control their toys by adding random challenges whenever someone tips.
Joining is free but in order to access everything the site has to offer, you’ll need to upgrade to a Chaturbate premium membership.
Membership options (payable by credit/debit card or PayPal):
5) Cams.com
Anyone looking to get their feet wet with couple cams should check out Cams.com, one of the top cam sites. Unlike other camming platforms, Cams.com hosts exclusive public shows for its members (meaning you’re likely to find a whole slew of performers that you haven’t seen anywhere else). Cams.com also incorporates the use of hashtags, which makes it super easy for viewers to find exactly what they’re looking for. And if you find yourself drawn to a particular model, make sure to join their on-site Fan Club to receive updates, review their broadcast schedule, receive discount codes, and more!
New members can join for free and prices are decided individually by model on a per-minute basis.
6) Cam4
Another crowd-pleasing (and free) couples cam site, Cam4 doesn’t require a membership or any special credits to view public shows or chat with models–as long as you’re willing to put up with super gross ads. And if you want to request a private show or tip a performer, you’ll need some tokens! In addition to hosting live shows, Cam4 is also home to various fan clubs, an adult dating site, and a variety of porn games.
Membership options (payable by credit/debit card or PayPal):
7) ImLive
iCams is nothing out of the ordinary. The service offers a diverse base of cam girls and guys, the ability to search by model name or using fun category options like sex toys, star sign, or fetish makes pinpointing your perfectly-matched performer easier than ever before. And with at least 600 to 700 models online at any given time per day, all varying in ethnicity, age, body type, and language, that’s no easy feat! But by far, the best feature of the site is the ability to browse a large selection of free videos without signing up. Before making a paid commitment to the site, you’ll be able to sit in and even participate in some chat rooms under the free tab. Signing up is also quick and easy, but be sure to have your wallet handy to tip, purchase tokens, and access private shows.
8) ManyVids
ManyVids is one of the few sites that lets its users tailor their viewing experience before even entering the homepage! Choose between MV All, MV Straight, MV Gay Boys, or MV Trans, and the site will populate its home videos according to your choice. I personally love this because we all know how much of a turn off it can be to have to wade through a sea of porn that just doesn’t do it for you. Navigating through the site is so easy thanks to the pre-listed main categories. At first glance, you can see it’s got a huge variety of popular performers which, in my opinion, is the best feature of the site. If the homepage doesn’t do it for you, there’s also the option to perform an advanced search. Here, it gives you the option to search through hundreds of its categories or by intensity, price, and model attributes. Joining is free, but most videos only allow a 30-second sneak peek into its contents. After that, in order to view or download the whole video, you must pay the price listed. Videos range from $3.99 to $999.99
9) BongaCams
This is one of the largest amateur couple cam sites available to stream for free and in 34 languages. If you’re not looking to pay monthly membership dues, BongaCams offers free adult chatrooms for visitors to use. Some public cam shows are also available to stream for free (depending on the model). But if you’d like a private cam show, you’ll have to trade in some tokens (which varies by model).
Joining is free and new members will receive 100 tokens just for registering.
