Introduction
flirtforfree was created in 1999 in the United States, and is a pioneer in the adult webcam industry. With an average of 200 girls online at any given time, the site’s size falls somewhere between the small international lives and the industry giants. Positioned in the premium segment, flirtforfree uses the latest interactive sex technology to immerse you into a vividly realistic virtual experience.
In the past, its prices were prohibitive ($4 to $6 per minute), but competition has helped reduce the prices to a more affordable level, with multi-user private shows starting at $0.74 per minute and 10-minute group shows available for a $2 or $3 tip. Exclusive private shows are offered at an average rate of $1.44.
Using Kiiroo or Vstroker technology you can fully participate in virtual sex. You can control the movement of a girl’s sex toy by moving your mouse around so that she can enjoy the sensation of your virtual cock inside her vagina. To enjoy these new kinds of experiences, you need to buy the appropriate sex toy that is available for sale on the site. For even more reality, use the flirt phone to call the hostess by connecting webcam + telephone. This service is available from France, but you must add dedicated credits in order to use it.
If you have special fantasies like domination, humiliation, orgasm control, slave or slut training, bondage or anything else, then I would suggest the fetish category, which is worth exploring. There are always about 15 models available to fulfil more than 50 different fetishes.
Site Navigation
Clearly positioned in the upscale market, flirtforfree maintains a polished image through its aesthetics as well as the models it selects. The screen’s black background evokes an image of glamour and luxury that the site wants to embody.
You can tell what kind of show a model is in by the colour of the label displayed on her picture. A yellow label indicates “premier” mode, pink is for “party” mode, blue is for “in show” and yellow is for “group show”. Details about each kind of show are explained later in the review.
Each model’s preview picture provides a settings icon. When you hover your mouse over it, basic information appears such as her category, the show’s per minute rates, her complete profile, as well as settings you can configure to be notified when she is online, to add her to your favourites, or send her an email.
Use the horizontal navigation menu at the top of the site to refine your model searches. There are 49 categories of girls available to better suit to your physical tastes, including blonde, redhead, large breasts, big butts, etc., your sexual preferences such as anal, double penetration, etc., your ethnic preferences including European girls, Latinas, Asians, etc., or by kind of show like group, shower, party, etc.
The interactive category provides the latest technological innovations so you can enjoy new experiences during your shows using interactive sex toys offered for sale on the site. Enjoy new sensations and make the models cum as if you were inside of them. The site is truly technologically advanced, and I haven’t yet seen anything like this offered on the other lives.
The fetish category is dedicated to more unique sexual desires like bondage, which involves restraining the model with ropes or handcuffs, domination with femdom mistresses who will take complete control of your body and mind, humiliation for those who enjoy being treated poorly by women, as well as 53 other fetishes to satisfy many other kinds of obscure fantasies.
In the VOD section you can access thousands of recorded show videos. About 150 new videos are added daily. It will cost you about 40 credits for 24-hour unlimited access to all of a model’s videos, which is a little less than €3. Some short videos (about 3 minutes long) can be viewed for free.
The Girls
About 40% of the girls online display an HD webcam indicator, which is a very respectable rate. But in reality, this indication is not very reliable. I often discover so-called HD cams whose image is of poorer quality than those that aren’t tagged with this indicator. I suggest that you don’t rely on the HD indication, as the software used to automatically detect the webcam image quality is unreliable and misleading.
There are only two screen sizes available, small and large. Both have a 16:9 ratio and automatically adjust to the size of your screen. We would have liked an extra large size or full screen, as viewing would be more enjoyable for those using a TV or a large monitor.
The chat layout is very good, with its system of blue/grey bubbles and an easy-to-read font. There are many personalisable options such as 5 text sizes, the ability to disable basic users, the bubble system or text alignment. There are 62 emoticons to add colour and emotion into your messages.
The “start your show” button is used to begin a private one-on-one show with the model. Some girls also provide multi-user (other members can join you and participate) as another option at a lower rate. It’s a good compromise if your budget is fairly tight because the multi-user show is usually 30 to 50% less than exclusive private.
Use the “tip me” button to tip a girl that you have a special affinity for, or in exchange for a nude action. Some hostesses will reveal their breasts, butts or pussies for 50 or 100 credits. If you would like to make an anonymous donation, click “tip anonymously”. With the tip flood, your tip will be publically announced on the chat and automatically divided. If you give 100 credits, for example, 10 credits will be given 10 different times in a row.
To see more information about a model, click on the woman’s bust icon to the right tout of the chat window. Her information will appear, including her activity on the site, her biography, what excites her, what she appreciates, her favourite sex toys, her favourite role-playing games, any awards she’s received on the site, and even customer reviews about her services.
Video Chat
In general the girls are very beautiful on this live, as the site seems to clearly prefer quality models to quantity. Some models are so beautiful they will take your breath away, especially the ones from the Baltic countries like Latvia, Sweden, Finland or Russia. The selection of high quality models seems very prudent in order to maintain a good level of customer satisfaction. With an average of 200 girls online at any given time, it provides good value for the variety.
Most of the girls are European, mainly from the Eastern countries like Hungary, Poland, Russia, etc. and Nordic countries like Sweden, Latvia, Norway, and Denmark etc. You can also find the rare Asian or Latina.
I also came across a few American girls, which is quite rare on the French lives. They are rarely the most beautiful women (it’s difficult to compete with Eastern European or Nordic girls) but they know how to entertain their audiences, emulate sex acts, capture your attention, in short, they are the true showgirls. At the time I wrote this, one of them was organising a boyfriend raffle. For a 100-credit donation she would write your username on a piece of paper and put it in a garbage can. A winner would be randomly drawn a few days later, and he would become her virtual boyfriend for one week. This would give him access to phone calls, SMS/mms, email, Skype shows, special attention on the chat, etc. At such a great price, it really motivates members to give her tips.
You can indulge in a little bit of fantasy with group sex. Even though 95% of the models are single girls, you will still find lesbian couples, threesomes with two women and a man, or even a trio of very horny Latinas. For specific fetishes like domination, bondage, humiliation and others, some hostesses are specialists in these areas and will offer their services. They generally wear leather or latex outfits so they are easily recognised.
The Shows
First I’ll review the different kinds of shows available on the site and explain how they work. Then I’ll discuss the various options available during a private session like interactive sex toys or the phone.
- The private show is the default mode for private sessions, you will be one-on-one with the model and other members will be unable to join. You will have the girl in complete exclusivity. The price begins at 10 credits per minute, which is only €0.74. Generally it is the newcomers on the site who offer these rates, experienced girls and the best models are around €2.88 on average for exclusive chat.
- Multi-user mode is an alternative to the private show. As its name indicates, many users can join you and interact with the hostess. You don’t get to be exclusive with the girl but it costs much lower than the private show, somewhere around 30 to 50% cheaper.
- Party Mode, shown with pink label, makes it impossible to be one-on-one with the hostess or to go in private multi-user mode. Everything takes place in public chat, and you can exchange tips for various kinds of nudity. The higher the tip, the hotter the service provided by the woman.
- Group Mode, indicated by a yellow label, is the equivalent of a Gold Show on streamate. To participate in the group show you must make a contribution for the amount requested by the model, for example 30 credits (€2.16). If the model’s financial goal is reached in the allotted time, for example if she is able to earn a total of 1000 credits within 15 minutes, everyone who donated will automatically participate in the group show. If the model’s financial goal isn’t reached within the allotted time then the show is cancelled and you will not be charged any credits.
The use of interfaced sex toys is one of this live’s big attractions. The site has always been on top of the latest technology in order to make the virtual sex experience larger than life. Here is an overview of the latest technological innovations:
- With KIIRO, the online sex toy, interactive sex becomes a reality in the webcam world. It enables intimate two-way communication to experience ultra-realistic sexual sensations, as if you were inside of her. The connection goes both ways, so that both parties can enjoy the others’ virtual bodies for an almost more lifelike interaction.
- With Vstoker technology, you can take over the model’s fuck machine and control it using your mouse. She will give you her password in private so that you can connect to her machine through the application provided. You can choose either auto mode, for hands-free operation, or manual mode to take control of her machine and control the speed yourself.
- The flirt phone option enables you to speak in person on the phone with a model. Click on the telephone icon to the right of the chat window, select your country, enter the phone number, and enter your pin code to identify yourself. You will then be connected by phone to the model – normally your call is redirected to her personal mobile. You can see her in her webcam while talking to her at the same time. Caution: Transferring credits to your flirt phone account isn’t reversible.
Member Account
In your member account the control panel provides an overview of your basic information like your credit balance, your wallet, or your flirt game points. Every time you buy credits, they are added to your wallet; and when you use credits they are deducted from your wallet. Your “bank can be used to stock credits when you want to keep them hidden from the models. Otherwise, when you go into a video chat room the hostess will see how many credits you have in your wallet! You can transfer credits between your wallet and your credit bank at any time.
You will also find a summary of the flirt game points you have earned and spent. There are many ways to earn points, like for spending at least 60 minutes in a video chat room, giving your opinion and rating a model’s performance after a private session, or for spending credits (1 point per credit spent). Unfortunately, these points are not very useful, as they’re only purpose is to help your favourite models boost their popularity.
Manage your various subscriptions such as the models’ fan clubs which allow access their private content or go so far as to activate your VIP status to get exclusive advantages like getting 1 hour’s worth of free shows, access to 150 daily videos, unlimited access to recorded private shows, etc.
Rates and Payment Methods
You get a choice of receiving 120 free credits simply for registering your credit card to purchase tokens. You can even get up to 190 free credits when you purchase 415 tokens for only $30.
Rates for multi-user (group) shows and exclusive shows start as low as $0.72. Few girls offer these rates but you can always find a few online who do. It’s very easy to find them, just sort the cams by price, and you will find them at the bottom of the page. The best models generally charge a minimum of 20 credits/min ($1.44) in multi-user mode and 40 credits/minute ($2.88) for exclusive private mode.
If you see the “deal” label in the video chat’s vertical menu, it means the girl offers a deal. By purchasing a show with a specific predetermined minimum duration, you will get free minutes as a bonus. For example, you will get 6 additional minutes of free show for a 20-minute commitment, which is 30% more.
If you’ve got a crush on a particular model and want to see more of her, it might be a good idea to join her fan club. You’ll benefit from a 5% discount off the rates of her shows and videos, your username will appear in a distinct colour on her video chat, you get a chance to have private conversations with her, and you’ll receive special treatment from her.
24-hour unlimited access to a girl’s recorded shows and videos is offered or you can pay per minute (VOD). The rate varies greatly between models, and it can range from 50 credits ($3.61) to 350 credits ($31.60).
Only credit card payments are accepted. There is no other way to buy tokens. If you don’t own a credit card, you will have to try a different live show site.
