Pick of the Month > streamate

As you surely realize by now, I enjoy watching the occasional young lady “shake her groove thing” for free; in fact, there’s no better thrill for a cheapskate like myself. That’s why I like Streamate. Although it bears a striking resemblance to other sites of its type — for example, Peekshows comes to mind — it serves up its own brand of free teaser chat and video. Not the best in the world, mind you, but good enough to get your motor running. It claims that it’s the most popular live adult chat site on the ‘Net, and that may very well be true.

One big draw is the sheer variety available at Streamate. I calculated that they had a bit over 9,300 webcams (186 pages, with fifty performers per page). About 1,400 were available while I was on. Off the top of my head, the only site I can think of that has more is LiveJasmin, with its 33,000 or so. (OK, don’t bust my chops if there’s another out there that has a bunch; I’m talking off-the-top-of-my-head here, sans research.) Of course, that’s if you count everybody: trannies, grannies, boys, shemales, et freakin’ cetera. Fortunately for my gonads, the vast majority are women. Hot, luscious women. Brown women. Pale women. Dusky women. Women with black hair, brown hair, red hair, blonde hair. Probably even a few women with no hair, were I to look hard enough. I even found a girl to satisfy my Native American fixation, but I’m keeping her name a secret; I want her all for myself. She’s probably really Asian, but with those braids — wow! Close enough!

All the Pretty Girlies

So here’s what the site’s homepage looks like:

Definitely a Stream-ten rather than a mere Stream-eight, wouldn’t you say? (Stream-eight = Streamate, get it? Aw, forget it.) Here’s a typical model, Playful, whom I picked both for her extreme blondeness and her all-American skirt. It’s enough to make even a miser like me want to pay to go private.

She’s not the Native American type, obviously. I’m keeping her for myself, remember? Anyhow, in addition to free chat, you can have access to some of the model’s private pictures, and some have hundreds to gawk at. And this is before you even register for the free membership, mind you; you get more when you give up the marketing info. Unsurprisingly, the free teaser chat and video in the unregistered mode is brief in duration, but that’s OK — a free five minutes is the closest thing to a free lunch you can expect, this side of SecretFriends and Flirt4free. And you can’t stay on the same few sites forever. I didn’t see any nudity, either, but then I didn’t expect any — and that’s perfectly all right. They do call it teaser chat, after all.

The Nitty Gritty

Streamate offers up a free membership to let you get closer to its ladies, but your ol’ pal Chris had a few problems with this. In addition to basics like password, username, and email address, they want your whole life story: your full real name, your street address, ZIP code, social security number, blood type…OK, so I’m kidding about the last two, but you get the drift. That’s a little intrusive, if you ask me. The reason they want all that is because they also you want you to go ahead and enter your credit card number, and they need your address information to make sure it’s legit. That just doesn’t work very well when you’ve already signed in as Brad Pitt, unless of course you’re fortunate enough to have his credit card number. They’re only trying to help you, you see, in case you decide to go ahead and pay for a few private chat credits so you can play with, say, a certain Native American girl you’re infatuated with. Uh-uh, no can do. The last time I entered my credit card number to confirm a free membership at a chat site, I ended up with a couple of five-buck charges on there, for no reason that I can understand. As you can imagine, I de-enrolled myself from that site pretty quickly. I won’t stand for anomalous charges, no matter how nice the girls are.

A Few Extra Details

But we were talking about Streamate, not some anonymous site I’d better not mention here. If you do decide to spend a few bucks at Streamate, you’ll pay in the middling range for private chat. I noticed advertised rates that went up to about three bucks — not bad, but not great, either. Of course, I’m after free teaser chat, so I didn’t pay for anything. Technically, though, I was impressed. The site’s a step up from Peekshows, which it so resembles, and I never had any trouble connecting with a chat host. Video was smooth and broadband all the way, baby. I like that in a chat girl site. In the immortal words of the Drive-In sage known as Joe Bob Briggs — check it out!
