Sexcam sites are full of attractive adults who want to titillate. With cam-based features, you can watch models as they perform, engaging in sexy chats and more. It all sounds great, right? Well for the most part it is, but there are a few things you should be wary of when exploring sex cam sites. In a bid to help you avoid making some common mistakes, here are three major pitfalls to avoid on sexcam sites…
1: Automated messages and dodgy links
Alas, alack! There are always going to be potentially-dodgy messages on sexcam sites. Avoiding them is usually pretty easy and just takes a bit of common sense. If anyone asks for your personal details, or money, don’t hand them over. If you’re receiving sexual messages immediately after signing up, without even having finished your profile, they’re probably not genuine, or they’re merely automated messages sent from models’ accounts in order to encourage you to visit their performances. Links to other sites may be hazardous, so don’t click them. You see the pattern? If you’re unsure, it’s best to contact the customer services team to ask for advice.
2: Hidden fees
Many sexcam websites allow you to browse profiles and even chat to models in group chats, without paying. If that’s all you want to do, you’re set. However, if you want to talk privately, watch performances or have a 2-way webcam chat, you’re probably going to have to pay for it. Some sites offer membership packages, but these may not include access to private shows (since the models are meant to get money for those shows, through your tips and fees). You may also find you have to pay additional fees to access adult content, such as pornographic videos and photos. Whilst you’re unlikely to be hit with massive bills out of nowhere, we advise a little caution when entering your credit card details and clicking on pay-per-view options.
3: Free trial auto-upgrades
Free trials are highly recommended, they allow you to explore and experience a sexcam site without having to pay for the services. These are often limited, though, and you may still have to pay a fee if you want to access certain content, such as private performances. Once your free trial is over, however, you might need to be careful. Some sites will auto-upgrade you to full, paid membership. This can be costly because you could be on the most expensive, short term package. If you start a trial and provide your credit card details, make sure you cancel it before you’re automatically upgraded.
The lowdown…
We advise a little caution when using any website, but there are several extra precautions we advise when using sexcam sites. First, be aware that there may be scams and automated messages circulating on these websites. They’re not hard to avoid if you’ve a little common sense. You might also need to keep your wits about you when it comes to potential hidden fees, including having your free trial auto-upgraded, which might mean you end up paying for unwanted membership. But don’t let that ruin all the fun of sexcam sites! There’s plenty to explore and enjoy, with a little common sense.
