C2C = cam2cam available. Rates vary by model — check their profile before starting a show.
Check the tip menu before asking
Most models publish a tip menu listing exactly what they offer and at what price. Reading it before starting saves you awkward requests and the model awkward refusals.
State your request upfront, clearly
Don't ease into a private show hoping things develop. Models appreciate directness — tell them what you want at the start so they can either accept or let you know if it's outside what they offer.
Don't idle in a paid session
You are charged per minute whether or not you are chatting. Have your request ready. Silence doesn't save you money — it just means you paid for nothing.
Respect soft limits without negotiating
If a model declines a request, accept it immediately. Negotiating or repeating the request damages the experience for both of you, and most models will end the session.
Tip extra for exceptional shows
If a model goes above and beyond, a tip after the show is noticed and remembered. Regular visitors who tip generously often get better attention and faster private responses.

Private cam show costs vary widely. On Chaturbate, models set their own rates — typically 6 to 90 tokens per minute ($0.60 to $9/min). On LiveJasmin, private shows cost 1 to 4 credits per minute ($1.10 to $5.50/min). BongaCams averages 20 to 60 tokens per minute. Budget around $3 to $5 per minute for a typical experience.
What is the difference between a private show and a group show?
A private show is a one-on-one session — only you and the model. A group show has multiple paying viewers watching the same performance at a lower cost per person. Spy shows let you watch someone else's private show at a discounted rate without interacting.
Can models see you during a private show?
Some platforms offer cam2cam (C2C) where the model can see your webcam during a private show. This is optional — you can always watch-only. Cam2cam is available on Chaturbate, Stripchat, BongaCams, LiveJasmin, and CamSoda.
How long should a private cam show be?
Most private shows run 5 to 15 minutes. You start paying the moment the session begins and can end it anytime. Longer sessions are often better value since models may charge a per-minute setup fee, but there is no minimum duration on most platforms.
What is a spy show on cam sites?
A spy show (also called voyeur show) lets you watch another viewer's private show without the model knowing. You pay a reduced rate — typically 20 to 50% less than full private — and can only watch, not interact. Available on Chaturbate, BongaCams, and Stripchat.
