Why So Many People Like Sex Cams Better than Porn
First of all, let’s get one thing straight – sex cams are way different from porn. They may both be popular forms of X-rated entertainment, but there are plenty of factors that set them apart. You might as well say that chihuahuas are the same as Great Danes because they’re both dogs. That’s technically true, but you wouldn’t want a chihuahua to guard your house any more than you’d want a Great Dane to sit on your lap.
But why bother making the distinction in the first place? Because you need to know what your options are before you can choose the right one for you. Hopping onto Pornhub may be the default for countless people, but chances are they’d be visiting NudeLive if only they knew how much more they’d enjoy it.
That’s enough of an introduction for now. Let’s explore the reasons why some people prefer sex cams to porn – and why you might too!
The orgasms are better.
We’re going to skip straight to the finish (as it were) and talk about how much better the orgasms are when you’re viewing a sex cam show. Even if you’re just one of dozens to hundreds of viewers for a particular show, you’re still able to interact through the text chat feature; maybe the webcam model has even incorporated one of your requests into her performance. The give-and-take dynamic of sex cam shows get you invested, so by the time you climax, there’s a whole lot of sexual build-up just waiting to be released.
Contrast that to when you’re watching porn. Sure, it can definitely be engrossing; that much is indisputable. However, you’ll never be able to feel the same bond with a pre-recorded video as you will with a live person who’s actively fulfilling your fantasies – even if it’s still on a screen. If you simply want to get rid of some tension, porn is a great choice. If you wanted something more than that, though, you could find it on a sex cam site.
Cam shows aren’t the same as real-life sex, but they’re a lot closer to it than porn.
It must be admitted that realism is not at the top of the list when you’re talking about adult entertainment. If you’re watching a cam show, however, you’ll be getting the kind of realism that doesn’t involve well-developed character arcs. While porn actors are…well…acting, the vast majority of webcam models are actually doing whatever they’re portraying on-camera.
There’s no need for suspension of disbelief, as there is when the bored housewife offers to pay the pizza guy with whatever his heart desires; everything you’re seeing in a cam show is really happening. Plus, with a cam show there’s always the chance to go bigger and better with the help of viewer suggestions and improvisation – just like in real life.
The “anything can happen” factor makes each experience feel more exciting.
Not that you need this to be explained to you, but porn videos are just like any other video – you can play them a thousand times and see the same thing each time. The only time there was ever a chance at changing the narrative was when the director was guiding the actors during the making of the film.
Then there are sex cam shows. Whether you’re viewing a public or a private show, you get to take part in calling the shots – even if it’s only a small part. Other viewers will probably also contribute their suggestions during public shows, and you just never know what they’ll ask for. Private shows give you an even better chance at basically directing your own porn, since you’re the sole viewer. The webcam model has nobody else to take up her attention, so you’ll be able to craft your own perfect sex cam experience.
Sex cam shows are more engaging than just staring at a screen.
Not to diss porn, but if you can’t get into the video itself, there’s really no way to keep you mentally involved. There might be a comment section, but it’ll almost definitely be unintelligible. You could hit the thumbs-up button if you wanted, but are you really going to do that on a video that can’t even hold your attention?
Sex cam shows, on the other hand, can be full of activity. Public shows can have several hundred viewers at a time; even if you aren’t interacting directly with the webcam model, you can interact with other viewers. The models also usually follow directions from their viewers (if they send tips, that is), so it’s still possible to get involved in a performance. Private shows are even better in this regard, since you’re the only person who’s calling the shots. Without you there literally wouldn’t be a show, so you basically have to pay attention to what’s going on. Not that you’d mind, of course.
It’s more likely that you’d meet a webcam model than a porn star.
No, really! In fact, you may already know a webcam model or two without even realizing it. Attitudes have become much more progressive towards webcam modeling in the last decade, and increasing numbers of people are deciding to make hay while the sun shines.
The woman on the bus sitting right behind you? Maybe she makes her living doing cam shows. The guy who loaded mulch onto your truck last week? You never know. Even your neighbors could be webcam models – couples are a popular category, after all! And yes, there are a lot of porn stars too, but that industry hasn’t been taking off the way webcam modeling has. If you’re talking statistics, webcam modeling definitely comes out on top.
Have you made your mind up yet?
If not, don’t sweat it – maybe you’ll end up testing them both out a couple times to be sure! It’ll really depend on what you’re in the mood for. That’s what adult entertainment is all about anyway, right?
