Introduction
Livejasmin, also commonly known as jasmine, is the most visited adult webcam site in the world. Its success is due to the unequalled quality of its webcams and ultra competitive rates, which start from €0.98 per minute for a private show. On average more than 1000 girls are online at any given time, and more than 60,000 models are registered on the site.
The site’s design is very modern and visually pleasing, with very well thought-out ergonomics. The models are presented in a mosaic of images against a passion red background. The retouched preview photo quality and the way they are showcased almost gives you a compulsive urge to click. Most of the photos and videos available in the profiles have been created by professional photographers, giving them a more upscale feel than the competitors. The site knows how to showcase its models, is very pleasing to the eye, and awakens the senses.
Even though many of the models log in from their homes, many work from studios. These house modern, beautifully decorated private rooms equipped with high quality internet services, a computer and an HD camera. This also benefits the customer as the image quality is often close to perfection. The image quality is true HD with a higher FPS, providing unrivalled image quality comparable to TV. There is proper lighting and the camera settings are perfect; in short, the webcam quality is often mind-blowing.
Site Navigation
Any visitor can access the free chat rooms and talk with the models. But the fact is there is little to no chance that a girl will ever chat with a visitor. So don’t waste your time as a mere visitor and be sure to sign up. The benefits of being a member are numerous. You get a username, the girls’ attention, access to the site’s full functionality, and the ability to go into private with your favourite girl. Furthermore, 9.90 free credits are offered to new members, so don’t miss out on this opportunity!
By default, the site displays single girls in free chat considered as the best on jasmin. If you search other, more specialised categories like transsexuals, couples, older women, fetish, lesbian or gay, you must click on “girl”, which is the default setting, and modify the category to be displayed.
The horizontal menu at the top contains only a few text links. You can display cams using 2 age criteria (18-year olds and 20-somethings), 4 physical criteria (blonde, brunette, large or small breasts), or 2 race selections (Asian or Latina).
You can prioritize it to display new girls first using the vertical menu on the upper right. These girls are generally the least expensive at 0.98 (dollars or Euros?) per minute for private, the most popular (sorted in descending order based on the number of people in their chat rooms) or even follow the site’s recommendations. An alphabetic username sort is also available, but I don’t see this as being very useful.
If you’re looking for a particular person, use the intuitive search bar at the top to more easily find the person in question. You can type either a search keyword like “redhead”, for example, or a username to find a particular girl.
The mega menu button is located to the right of the search bar. It’s the most useful sorting tool, although it is somewhat hidden and does not stand out very well. You can choose one or more criteria like language spoken, the style (shaved, tattooed), the kind of show (anal, fingering, submission, sex toys, etc.) Other features are available like HD camera, two-way audio, good deals, etc.
The Girls
About 60% of the girls are beautiful European girls, between 18 to 25 years old, with nice slim bodies, pretty faces, and who are mostly from Eastern European countries.
They are attractive girls who are the stereotypical male image of the ideal lover and the perfect woman.
Suffice it to say that girls who look like models are abundant on this site.
They know how to flirt and make you want them with their seductive personalities and very enticing lingerie, so it is difficult to resist them for very long.
If you prefer mature women instead of young 18 year-old girls, about 300 middle-aged women are also online, on average.
The site’s overall appearance is very classy, with a cosy ambiance and a good presentation of the girls, where often even their bedrooms are very tastefully decorated.
It’s all very pleasing to the eye and excitement awaits you.
Other kinds of exotic girls are available like Latinas (80 girls on average), Asians (40 girls on average), or in other categories like lesbian couples, S&M/fetish where girls wear leather/latex outfits and specialise in all kinds of fetishes, or even transsexuals who are very difficult to distinguish from heterosexual women.
Video Chat
The video chat rooms are called “live channels” on livejasmin, and you can watch your favourite model’s free live channels. The site administrators seem to want to move jasmine from webcamming into the interactive TV era.
The webcam video quality is generally very good, as most of the girls are in HD, and image fluidity is similar to TV. This is also one of the site’s strongest points, and one of the main reasons for its success. There are three screen sizes, but I recommend full screen for a true immersive experience particularly because the image quality is very good, even at full-size.
The “i” icon is used to view the hostess’ bio to see her information such as her measurements, age, who she is, and the kind of show she performs in private. There is a camera icon that can be used to take screen captures at any time. These images will be saved in your account and you can see them whenever you want. If you want to reward a hostess or get her to single you out, why not give her a virtual surprise? The amount varies from 1 credit to 9999 (maximum amount). Many virtual gifts are available, and you can choose which one you’d like to give her. To support your favourite, vote for her using the trophy icon. She will earn a point, and if she ends up in the Top 100, she will win prizes. The gallery icon on her wall displays all of her posted photos and videos. Some of her content may only available to premium members.
While some girls have chosen to work from their homes, others use fully-equipped, beautifully-decorated private rooms provided by studios in exchange for a small percentage of their revenues. It’s a win/win situation, as the model gets a beautiful work environment with very good equipment (HD cameras, fibre internet, room design) and the customer benefits from better visual quality. Forget about lagging video, poor lighting or poor contrast, here you will find true professional quality as close to perfection as you can get in the webcamming world.
The Shows
On livejasmin, the private one-to-one show is the best. Customers who go into private mode with a girl get her fully exclusively. You can also spy on another customer’s show as a voyeur but without a preferential rate. There are now group VIP shows as an alternative which can be accessed for as little as 1 credit and whose operation is described below.
The vibra-toy increases the show’s interactivity by giving you control of the sex toy with your mouse. Control the sex toy’s vibration by moving your mouse from right to left, and control its rotation by moving the mouse up and down. The sex toy is inserted into the girl’s vagina and you control its movements with your mouse. Not only can you see and talk with the cam girl, but you can now also control her orgasm with your mouse. This new option has been very popular, and many models now offer this option during private shows. The models are using the Lovense Nora sex toy, which works in Bluetooth mode (wirelessly) and provides 3 levels of vibration and rotation intensity.
The VIP show was a highly anticipated addition in the community. Before only the 1-to-1 show was available but now you can participate in a group show with only 1 credit. The way the VIP show works is very simple. When the credit target is reached in the allotted time, then the group show begins for all the donors. For example, if the model offers a 5-minute VIP show for 2 credits with a goal of 10 credits, all it takes is a minimum of 5 participants to reach the target and to start the show. If the model offers a 15-minute show for 5 credits with a goal of 20 credits, a minimum of 4 people is required to reach the target and to start the show.
To know what kind of show a model performs in private, click on the “i” icon. In the “In Private Chat, I Like” paragraph, you will discover everything the girl likes to do in her shows, such as masturbation, using sex toys, anal sex, fisting, or other sexual practices.
If you have a special request that isn’t listed, ask the model about it on the free chat, and she will tell you whether or not she will agree to perform this act in private.
Special places like the bathroom, kitchen, office, garden, etc. are also listed in case you would like to fulfil your fantasies in an unusual place.
To get an idea of a hostess’ quality of service, look at her average customer vote score as it gives you a good idea of her talents. On livejasmin there are no theme days, special shows, group shows or voyeur, only one-on-one private shows is available. We would like to see a larger variety of shows.
Member Account
Once registered, livejasmin will ask you to validate your account by clicking on a link you receive by email. By doing so, you will get 5 free teasers, which means that you get to peek in on 5 different private shows for 30 seconds each.
It’s a pretty good start. In your member space you can save all your favourites, see a history of your private shows, send and receive messages with the girls, manage your subscriptions to channels and premium content.
Complete your profile to allow the models to learn more about you. Describe what sexual practices you like, what you do in life, your hobbies, etc. If you add photos of yourself you can make them visible to the hostesses.
Rates and Payment Methods
The lowest rate for an exclusive private show is €0.98 per minute. Quite often only the site’s new girls start out at this price level. The price normally charged is €1.99, although some models charge €2.49 or €2.99. Many factors such as the girl’s popularity can affect the rate. A hostess in high-demand has no interest in performing at low prices ;-)
The site will give you up to €9.90 in free credits when you purchase the largest token package for €157.99, which is 6.2% discount. For the smallest package, at €29.90, you will get 1.90 free tokens. Here’s a trick in case you want to buy a package for less than €30: Open the credit purchase window and then close it. A special offer will then appear, giving you the chance to buy 17.99 credits for €20.99. Although this is not as attractive as other offers, it might be suitable for people with smaller budgets.
Credit card is the default payment method, but you can add credits through other payment methods like bank transfers, Paysafecard (a kind of anonymous payment card), or bitcoins.
