What makes a Cam Couple special/unique enough to get paid??

[Boston617]

OK- so my girl and I are looking to get into couple's cammin' to try to get the $$ up... rent aint paid and we cant get any groceries!! So along with extra shifts and quitting smokin butts together- we're tryin to do this cam thing. Solo and coupled...

So while Ive been investigating this...ahem...occupation, someone said to me, "A couple would have to be really special for me to pay to watch them together."

So my question is, what makes a Cam Couple special enough, that you, or the next person, is gonna wanna pay to watch us?

Thanks!!!!

in all honesty... she would have to be a '10+' for me to pay anything for a couple, and the dude couldn't be smarmy at all. There's sooo much well made free girl/guy porn out there to be had that unless there's some kink or heavy fetish that a customer wants to "direct" its kind of useless.
Solo girls on the other hand.. it's mainly the interaction with her that creates the desire for whatever fantasy.
As for solo guys... I've been told by many folks thats its mostly 'gay' that gets the cash and not women wanting to watch a guy whackin... after all, any camgirl can confirm here... guys want to display their junk for free on cam for just about anyone all the time. :-D

Good question... and I don't know the answer, but I suspect there's something in there to do with the guy as much as the girl. In porn it's a fairly well established 'rule' that straight guys often only want the guy on cam to be a stunt-dick. A prop basically.
Is the same true of cam couples? Judging from responses in the other thread it seems not.

I guess I'll just tell you what I don't like - a girl chatting trying to drum up business while the guy looks bored and not particularly friendly in the background. I guess I would think he should ideally be helping to entertain the room (and I don't mean sexually lol) while waiting for a show or countdown - hell just taking part in conversation would be nice.

I'm guessing it's gonna be different for everyone. The couples thing never really appealed to me personally, but there must be a market for it, else there wouldn't be so many couples doing it.
For me, the appeal of a site like MFC lies in being able to sit and chill with an attractive female (or a procession of attractive females) for a few hours during the week. I don't exactly have an abundance of beautiful women in my life who'd be willing to drop what they're doing so they can come sit with me and shoot the shit in their undies whenever I'm bored. Conversely, on MFC, there are hundreds of women who are willing to do that (in exchange for a few tokens here and there).
Watching a couple camming is (I would guess) akin to watching porn. It's slightly more interactive than that, but it's not like logging on to see a cam girl (solo) where almost the entirety of the appeal comes from interacting with them. Watching two people fuck on cam is a more passive experience.
So, I guess in order to assess what makes couples' camming appealing, you need to look at what makes porn appealing. For me, that would be the opportunity to vicariously bork a woman who, in real life, I would stand absolutely no chance with. The guy is essentialy there as a surrogate for the viewer (assuming the viewer is a straight male, yo). So the guy would just have to kinda be there. You'd have to be prepared play Garfunkel to your lady friend's Simon, ya know? Silent Bob to your girl's Jay...
But that's just me. Others might (and likely will) have a completely different take on the whole dealio.

One thing to keep in mind is that most of the members on this site are from MFC or started out on MFC, so their tastes are a lot different than someone who mostly goes to Streamate or LJ or something. MFC is a lot different than most camsites in the way you interact with the girls, not to mention that guy are not even allowed on cam and members and models like it that way.

I mentioned a little bit about how I feel about couple cams on the other thread before I saw this one, and Cammistar went into more detail on how well couple cams do on sites like Streamate. Streamate is probably where you should start out as it has one of the highest traffic camsites that allows M/F couple accounts.

I personally really like couple cams a lot and I don't feel like it's the same thing as watching a more interactive porn, in my opinion. I like to be able to see the love that the couple has for one another, it feels much more real than most porn--even amateur RedTube stuff. I like seeing the way they interact before and after their shows and how they treat one another. I like being able to talk to them or even sometimes being able to direct the show. I think there is a big market for M/F cams on other sites so long as your placement is good.

Pretty much what makes a cam couple special to me is knowing they are a real couple who are really in love, seeing the way they interact with one another, having good/amusing/sweet personalities, and yes, they do need to be attractive but that means to me that they just need to look put-together. They shouldn't look like they just woke up out of bed or got out the shower. But that's just my tastes.

There is definitely a market for it. Take a look at Streamate.com and click on "couple cams" and you can see for yourself what you think makes certain couples better to watch than others.

Re: What makes a Cam Couple special/unique enough to get pai

Having watched a few couples cams on Chaturbate and paid attention to what was well received and what wasn't, I'll provide my opinions. Hopefully they help.

First and possibly most importantly I feel like the excitement factor is absolutely key to couples shows. Too much waiting around for this and for that sucks. A countdown to 2k tokens before you hit the grand finale? Good fucking luck. Camera angles are extremely important too because let's be honest. Most static sex shots get boring within 2 or 3 minutes at most. With the notable exception of one cosplay couples show I watched, most couples cams that had these problems were boring and therefore not very successful.

Second, I'll expand upon some of that saying that chaturbate seems really hit or miss from what I've seen. You may want to read up on a few sites yourself and maybe give each a test drive but the Streamate gold show format seems like it would be good for couples shows so you can get a few people willing to dish out some money to watch and not give it away free to the masses yet not have some countdown strung out for long periods of time.

Last, I think one of the best ways to treat couples cams is to treat it less like a scheduled show (which would be highly recommended for solo camming) and more as a "We were going to do this anyhow. Let's let some people watch and make some money from it." kind of thing. It sounds to me like any little bit of additional income would be really handy for you guys right now with where you are so if you can make an extra $250 by switching on the cam before sex and otherwise not actually putting any time or money into it, that sounds like a nice win to me.

There are a lot of different people who watch cams. As a bit a voyeur myself, the "something special" to me is already provided because I enjoy watching and I find it's even more enjoyable when it's live. It's not even so much the interactive part when it comes to couples for me so much as the "watching this happen with only seconds of delay." If you can do an entertaining show, I think your audience will find you.

There's my opinion on the subject for what it's worth.

Special couples are rare. Heading pvt usually means you want extra time to enjoy the dynamic, otherwise you would try for a group experience.
Most couples fail to get me pvt because:
1. You don't trust the connection between them.
2. You get it in freechat with a little tipping. The thrill of the game, taking the play too far.
3. They are too focussed on each other to include another.
4. One is trying to save the other from doing badly on site. Tends to make me want to wait for the one doing the rescuing to be solo again.
5. They switch to doing that off cam tease, when you are off cam you are offline. Always think of it as being pvt with each other :lol: .
6. They haven't thought about what goes where and how to include the cam. I suspect it takes some off cam practice.
7. One model doesn't seem interested. Pvt for me takes real consent.

I have noticed that good couples don't change much when are going solo, the thrilling thing is getting your favourite thing that one does reflected in the pleasure of another as she does it to their partner. This makes naughty or erotic (your favourite thing pvt) and purely beautiful the best combination.

Hope this helps a bit.

You can add me on twitter and watch when I cam with Chuck Norris. We get lots of tokens and when the hourly prize on chaturbate a lot. I think a lot of the getting tokens is building the relationship with viewers and having fun.

There's no way, Chuck Norris' sperm would be so potent it would eat through any vagina like battery acid through paper.

Thank you.

Things people have used to describe us on Chaturbate include "Cute, Clearly in love, Funny, Retarded, Strangely addictive"

I dunno if some of those are compliments are not, but either way, people particularly seem to like the chemistry between me and my partner both during shows and just talking with the room. I make a point of interacting with the room as much as my partner does, and that seems to have helped us no end. Her regulars from her solo days despite finding it weird at the beginning seem to really like it also.

All the advise I can give to you as the male of a couple cam is to not come across as smug or a douche. I'm naturally modest regarding my personality and looks, and having anxiety and depression helps keep my ego down. I tend to brush off any compliments and generally see my partner as the main draw for people.

Re: What makes a Cam Couple special/unique enough to get pai

A couple on Chaturbate that I have interacted with is chilwavecpl.

They seemed to be doing all right when I saw them. But more importantly, as has been mentioned, it's not just the girl talking and the guy waiting to fuck. Both members of the couple seem cool and interact with the room. Plus the dude had an epic moustache last time I saw him.

So, I think as has been said, both parties need to interact with the room. Couples cams where it's the girl doing all the talking and the guy just sitting there like a sack until it is time to perform is just boring.
