MyDirtyHobby Review - Premium European Fetish Cams
You can get a lot from a name, and MyDirtyHobby is no exception. This site is all about fetish, and the amateur ladies that employ any and all ways of showing, recording, and exhibiting their kinky skills. As any premium site, everything costs, and there are no preview to the videos you buy or the rooms you'd like to enter. However, having the largest library of sex videos and pics, the best European live chat hosts and a thriving porn community make this site a fetish lovers dream.
For users who are looking for a communal experience, MyDirtyHobby is made for them, with a social media look and an "Online/Offline" bar on the right of the screen to message hosts. Most models make countless videos and take pictures that you can pay to acquire, and in general the site is based on that sharing, from both sides. Hosts and members can both create and upload content, and can both profit from it. This is what makes MyDirtyHobby unique - Sure, there are fetish inclined stunners to have a live cam session with, but the site offers so much more than that.
The Good and The Bad
The Good
- Fetish is the main attraction
- Community based site
- Excellent search engine
- Pics and videos in unlimited supply
- Multiple payment options
- Lots of fun extra features
- Your account is customizable
The Bad
- Without purchasing site currency you cannot use the site
- Many rooms are not in HD
- You cannot view a model's room before agreeing to payment
The Fetish Models
The site originates in Germany, and so the majority of hosts are European as well, speaking multiple languages, and proudly demonstrate a more "Euro" type of an open mind. Over 50 fetish categories, not to mention tags that only add to the naughty nature of the live cam chats, make MyDirtyHobby fabulously fetish. And don't forget, unlike other sites, live cams are not the only draw - The enormous gallery of videos and pics is in the hundreds of thousands.
It's important to mention, in case our English speaking readers are apprehensive about the language barrier, that there's direct translation in the chat - So even if the lovely lady speaks German, that's not a problem. You'll be able to know where the performer is from by the little flags on their profile pics.
To find the model that tickles your fancy, the search engine and filtering system are extremely effective. You can select by gender, and then other filters, such as body, tattoos, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and countless sexual preferences. The fetish mamas profiles are an excellent resource to get information from - It shows you other pictures, detailed personal information, likes and dislikes, and more.
MyDirtyHobby Feature Highlights
MyDirtyHobby loves to give it's members a community feel like on social media, so on the right of the screen you'll see which of the hosts are online, and which can message chat, versus live cam chat. At times, hosts that are not on the Webcams section will be available on this feature, and though each chat costs, as everything does on this site, it's a great way to contact your favorite kink queen, or meet new ones. The social media feel adds a texture of things always being new and exciting - You never know who will be online when you log on, and you never know who you might meet. You can also download the app which is new, and for no cost.
Continuing the trend of customizing your accounts, just like Facebook and other media services, the site also provides a great amount of control for users over their accounts. Members get notifications when their favorite models are online, when they get private messages, and it also serves as a media library for any pictures or videos the user might have bought. You can really take your account and make it your own and introduce yourself to the ladies just like on any other media platform.
Other great features include:
- A Blog with events, interviews and promos
- Channels that you can pay monthly to subscribe, such as The Anal Channel
- An adult gaming experience called MyDirtyBoss
- Choosing your best gals and saving them under Favorites
- A Visitors section to show you who has looked you over on the site
Getting Started
Easy as pie, this registration process is simple, using a username, password, and a real email which you will need to validate - Which will get you 100 free DirtyCents (The site's currency). Keep in mind that you cannot do anything without validating a credit card, and also purchasing DirtyCents. You can look at the static profile, but that's it without some change.
Chat Show Types & Prices
Unfortunately, nothing is free on MyDirtyHobby. Now, that's not such a bad thing as far as the quality of content and all the features you can choose from as a paying member, but you won't be able to find free chats here. Any room you click on presents the amount of DC per minute, and if you decide to enter a paid-for chat, you see a counter count down your cost per second.
Private Chat
As with most sites, the models decide what to charge, and how many DirtyCents they are worth per minute. On average, adult cam sessions go for $2.50 a minute, and the lowest price starts at $1.25 a minute. The site charges you by the second, so you can leave at any time. A nice plus is that cam2cam doesn't cost anything extra. It's important to note that even the "cheaper" rooms are no less kinky or full of fetish glory, sometimes even more so. Don't rush to the most expensive host. Peruse the profile and pics, and you will easily discover if she meets your level of kink.
Voyeur Shows
When you go through the Webcams sections, you'll see that many of them are green (Open for private chats), and some are orange with a Voyeur button. This means the model is already in a private session, but you can have the pleasure of entering her room, without interaction, and become a pervy peeper. It's a great way to cut costs as prices for a voyeur chat are a fraction of private chats.
Payment Methods
Your personal details are completely secure with MyDirtyHobby and will not be passed on to third parties. All payment methods are secured through "https" protocol. Also, the site uses innocuous sounding billing names to keep your payment details safe and process orders, so you can use your payment method without concern. DC packages are limited, and are limited to $10, $15, $25, and $50. If you become a VIP member, those amounts will get much higher.

MyDirtyHobby on Mobile Devices
The site has a decent mobile version, pretty smooth and easy to navigate, just like the site itself. However, there is a huge disappointment in that regard, because the mobile version does not offer c2c. This means you can only talk to your best gal on the desktop version, unless you are satisfied with chatting by messages. For a site that offers so many paid services, it's surprising that this feature is not offered, even for a price. Also, considering the site goes so full into social media mode, it seems an updated mobile platform with c2c would be a given, it's a shame it's not.
Webcam Streaming Quality
On MyDirtyHobby the live chat rooms are labelled as to the quality of the cam that the model is streaming. By and large, they have it right and the overall video quality is satisfactory. However, as there are no video previews, you can't really be certain. Even if a room is labeled to be streaming in HD, that doesn't necessarily mean it's great quality.
Rooms displayed in SD stream in minimum resolution of 480p, which translates to a solid detailed picture, in a small sized video window. Sometimes, when trying to watch a SD cam in full screen - the image can be a little grainy and not very clear. For even better show quality, choose HD cam rooms - where the minimum resolution is 720, and full HD streams in 1080.
There are also HQ cam rooms, where the graphics are better than SD, but not as good as HD. The only upside with HQ, is that videos are quicker to upload compared to uploading HD videos, yet it's difficult to tell them apart.
Our Readers Have Asked:
Does MyDirtyHobby give away free credits?
Yes. But only when making your first purchase of MyDirtyHobby DirtyCents. When you do, the site gifts you 100 free DirtyCents. It's not a bad bonus, given that the cheapest DirtyCents package goes for only $10.00.
Does MyDirtyHobby have promotions or special offers available?
Mostly, the site is 100% pay for services, there are no real promos beyond the first purchase bonus. However, when you become a member, there are occasional deals, such as 50% discounts on amateur videos. Only as a VIP member do you get exclusive offers, but as a regular member you don't get access to those.
Do any of the models at MyDirtyHobby use interactive toys that I can control?
Technically they do, but you have no way of knowing for sure, which is a problem. Using the filter as explained in this review, you can select the category Sex Toys under the Sexual Preference section, and you will see live cam rooms with models who have tagged themselves as using toys. But as you can't view the room or the lady prior to payment, it's a bit of a leap of faith.
Are there couples and threesomes performing together?
Absolutely, this is a great site to watch couples. Under the Choose Gender filter on top, you can select Men, Women, Couples, Shemales or Transsexuals. The couples category includes both same sex couples as well as regular couples. If videos are your thing, then select the Categories section on the left filter on the main page, where you'll see categories pertaining to couples or threesomes, such as Double Penetration, Golden Showers, Orgy, and others. A great advantage of the videos is that you get preview pictures, as well as ratings and comments.
Conclusion
MyDirtyHobby has everything you may be looking for in a fetish site. Mostly German models with a continental POV, a huge library with countless categories, an impressive filter to allow you to find the best ladies around, and even though the site can only be used by members with a flexible wallet, the quality of the dirtiest fetishes and the ladies who skillfully present them is worth every cent.
The connection between MyDirtyHobby and fetish is simply inseparable. Maybe the name of the site should have been an indicator, but kinky, pervy, weird and wonderful are better adjectives, because there's so much to see. Users that love live cam sites could be disappointed because of the costs, but sometimes you need to decide between a free chat room with a host who might stay clothed, or a European fetish goddess that loves spanking.
