The Fetish Models
Any time you visit LivePrivates, you'll meet more than 1,000 online models you can chat with either in public or in private. As mentioned above, they're all highly skilled when it comes to posing in front of the camera as the site obligates its broadcasters to follow strict professional standards.
The site's filter has a Willingness category which contains plenty of kinky niches you can spice your live shows with, for example Smoking, Close Up, Dom, Sub, Oil and RolePlay. You can cross-reference these niches with additional kinky niches you'll find under Appearance comprised of Piercing, Tattoo, Stockings and Leather. Opting for these niches, you'll definitely reach hot dominatrices or submissive girls with whom you can engage in wild cam chats.
If there is a certain fetish theme you're looking for and it doesn't appear in the site's filter, you can always ask a performer if she is into it. Taking into account the site's large selection of online cam girls and their readiness to give you good time, it won't be long till you run across a performer who will do for you whatever you want within the bounds of reason.
You can actually find out what a model is up to by clicking on her bio icon inside her chat room in the upper left corner of her performance window. You'll be able to read an About meshort paragraph and, more importantly, what she'll be willing to perform in a private session so you'll know if it matches your desires. Some girls will even reveal their favorite place for making love (e.g. in the office), which can add an element of kink to their character.
If you scroll down while you're in a model's room, you'll run across her personal photos. Many of the materials can be accessed freely, but, obviously, the hottest stuff demands credit to be unlocked. The premium contents are usually arranged in albums under price tags. Each model is free to set her own price per album, the average being 10-15 credits.
LivePrivates - Feature Highlights
Although LivePrivates is not rich in features, there are a few notable ones that are worth mentioning. First, if you're a premium member - that is, you possess credits - you can send private messages to any model you want for a fixed price of 1.5 credits ($4.00). To do that, tap on your member's name and then select Messages. This is a wonderful way of asking a model in an intimate way (as opposed to asking her in a public chat) whether she would be willing to realize a specific fantasy you have in a private fetish cam show.
Second, LivePrivates enables you to interact with its performers any time you want even when they're offline. Some of the performers will let you initiate a video call with them. You can even open your cam as if you're in a 1-on-1 show on the site. This is a paid for service and rates vary. There is no guarantee the model will accept your call, but if she does, you may have an intimate live chat in unconventional places, for example a fitting room in a store while she's trying on new clothes. Imagine how hot such a session can get.
Lastly, a large number of LivePrivates' performers upload a story to their chat rooms. You can watch the story by pressing on a model's avatar. We strongly recommend the fetish-oriented stories of the models which appear under Dom in the Willingness category.
Getting Started
Signing up for LivePrivates is really easy. All you have to do is come up with a username and a password, provide a valid email address and you're good to go. The next stage is upgrading your membership to Premium so you can start using the site's services, initiating private chats, in particular. You can do that by simply buying one of the credit packs put at your disposal on the purchase page. Upon leaving that page without buying anything, you'll get a last second offer which includes a cheaper pack of 7.99 credits for only $13.99. If you reject this generous offer, you can still obtain 9.99 credits (roughly $10.00) as a bonus by validating your credit card.
Moreover, once you finish the registration process, a promotion will present itself giving you the opportunity to win up to 100% bonus credits on your first purchase. You'll have one hour to make a purchase and realize the bonus you've just won. If you procrastinate, the offer reappear only 15 hours later.
Chat Show Types and Prices
There are several chat options available to you on LivePrivates. You can see them all by referring to the site's filter. Generally speaking, we strongly recommend that you spend some time in a model's free chat room and get to know her before you opt for a paid show. Then, if you feel that she is the perfect dominatrix who can control and humiliate you, causing you a great deal of physical and mental suffering in the process, or alternatively, a feeble damsel you can easily turn into your subservient cam girl, it's time to move on to a one-on-one setting.
Free Chat
This chat mode takes place inside a model public room. As its name suggests, anyone can enter this chat, but in order to communicate with the model, you must be a registered member. Having a positive account balance will enable you to tip the model in the form of virtual gifts to get her attention and even make her do some special things for you. There are other features you can use to enhance your user-experience, among which are sending the model emoticons and using automatic chat language translation.
Private Shows
Private shows are the icing on the cake of your activity on LivePrivates (and on any other cam site). This is where you get 1-on-1 with the model letting your darkest desires surface from the innermost depths of your libido. This intimate pleasure will cost you $2.60 a minute on average. The cheapest models take $1.00 a minute. You can find them on the site's filter under the Price category. Their chat rooms are marked with the word SALE andthere are quite a lot of them including ones that give fetish shows.
Take into account that if you want to include cam to cam and 2-way audio in your chat, you'll be asked to pay 1-2 dollars extra per feature depending on each model's personal rate. That may sound a bit expensive, but you have to remember that you're paying for c2c operation that works smoothly with almost zero malfunctions and for streaming quality that other cam sites rarely match.
Exclusive Private Shows
Your private shows are not fully sealed as other users may peep into them (see below) and even access them as full participants by paying the model's chat rate. You won't see or hear them, nor will they be able to see or hear you, but they can interact with the performer distracting her from what should be her main focus, you.
To prevent this dire situation from happening, you can ask the model either in her public room or in the beginning of your Private Show with her to banish any unwanted intruders by making her show Exclusive. She has this option and it doesn't entail any additional cost.
Mobile Live Shows
These shows consist of performers who broadcast from their mobile device, which enables them to be available more hours during the day as they are not dependent on a specific broadcasting location (e.g. a studio). They can broadcast while they're on the go making their shows less formal, more casual and highly exciting. Try to picture this in your mind: A live fetish performance broadcast from a model's phone while she is in her office during her routine workday.
VIP Shows
VIP shows are group shows for which you have to pay a fixed number of credits in advance to reserve yourself a seat along with other paying users. The model sets a price target that must be attained in a preset time frame. If she fails, there will be no show and you'll be refunded.
VIP Shows last a couple of minutes and they are really cheap; some shows go for as low as $0.50 a minute. They give you the opportunity to watch models performing in the buff while paying much less compared to a Private show. On the other hand, you won't be able to activate your camera and you'll be joined by other users, so if you wish to be the model's center of attention, VIP Shows aren't for you.
Peek Shows
If you're a peeping Tom, you can peek into others' Private Shows. Each peek lasts 25 seconds and costs $2.00. You won't be able to do anything apart from passively watching the model. But, this is a great way to get a look at a model that catches your eye, yet she always seems to be busy with other members.
Payment Methods
To buy credits, all you have to do is Tap on Get Credit on the header. You'll be directed to a page with different packs you can buy with your credit card. By pressing on Payment Methods below, you'll reach a page showing all the payment methods put at your disposal. For U.S. users, they include the following:
LivePrivates accepts:

Customer Service
LivePrivates' customer service is second to none. The FAQ page is not very extensive as it covers only basic issues. However, there is a variety of channels you can use to get help if any problem arises or if you have a question: email, telephone (There is a separate number for billing support) and, most importantly, 24/7 online support.
The online support works well. Whenever we use it, we are left waiting for no more than a minute or two before we were connected with a human representative who has always been kind, patient and efficient providing us with real solutions.
Membership Benefits
LivePrivates doesn't have any reward program the kind you'll find on competing sites. Yet, it enables you to improve your membership status through its Club Elite. For each credit you'll spend, you'll get points. The site uses a multiplier to calculate the exact number of points you're entitled to. The more points you accumulate, the higher your rank becomes. You start with Crush and can potentially end up becoming a Casanova.
These ranks don't give you any substantial benefits and that's why they can't be considered a reward program in the full sense of the word. However, they do generate respect and, above all, help you win the models' attention. On the flip side, if your spending volume decreases, you'll be demoted to a lower rank.
LivePrivates on Mobile
LivePrivates' has a highly effective and easy to use mobile site. Once you access it, you'll get a clear view of the models thumbnails, which cover the entire screen. In the upper left corner, you have a menu with all the options you need to navigate the site. In the upper right corner, you'll find the advanced filter to help you sort out the models based on your preferences.
The chat rooms contain all the functions that exist on PC. In portrait mode, you can double click the screen to zoom in to get a full view of the model. The chat will be presented on the screen, so you can still write your messages and watch the show. This is also what happens in landscape mode. In both modes, instead of going back to the main page, you can swipe right and move on to another model. If you still want to return to the main page, you can swipe left.
LivePrivates is one of the few cam sites whose c2c apparatus is responsive to a mobile device. Practically speaking, you can engage in bidirectional video chats from the palm of your hand without being dependent of a cumbersome computer setting.
Webcam Streaming Quality
LivePrivates offers you superb broadcasting quality on its desktop and mobile sites. All the models are broadcasting in at least a high quality standard definition rate. When you see the HD button in a performer's webcam room, selecting it will ensure you're getting a high definition streaming rate.
To sort the online rooms by those broadcasting in HD, go to the filtering feature and choose to order by HD Quality.

This is all part of the international PCI DSS protocol followd by LivePrivates, which sets ground rules for maintaining network architecture characterized by proactive protection of customer account data.

If you weren't satisfied with a model, you may get a refund based on the site's Refund Policy. You have to contact support and air your grievances. Each case is examined separately.
Will I get to watch LivePrivates' models performing undressed in their public rooms?
No. LivePrivates is very strict about their performers not barring it all, or even a bit of a flash in the public rooms. The models will take off their clothes only during paid-for private shows. This is the true meaning of a Premium cam site.
Conclusion
If you're looking for a respectable online establishment where you can enjoy high quality HD cam shows given by professional performers, LivePrivates should be a top priority site for you. Many of the site's models have plenty of experience in hardcore live action and can definitely give you a show involving classical fetish themes from femdom and discipline to humiliation and BDSM, which will leave you bodily and emotionally scarred, exactly the way you like it.
At the end of the day, the prices you'll have to pay for the fun and pleasure waiting for you on the site aren't that high. True, you have to pay extra for the privilege of opening your camera and using bidirectional audio, but there are other sites which will also ask for an additional fee for these features. Their rates, to begin with, are higher and they don't necessarily offer you what Liveprivate does in terms of supeior streaming, mobile c2c and great customer support.
If you're new to the cam2cam world, LivePrivates is a good place to start thanks to its highly efficient and user-friendly interface. If you're a veteran cam site user, you don't need us to tell you about the site's merits, as they are evident from the get-go.
