Hooray for a liberal arts education! Because I, Cristobal Hijo de Anders*, took Spanish in college, I can read the text on Tempo de Antena, that premier adult chat site from Portugal. After all, Portuguese is mostly just Spanish with a French accent, right? Add the fact that most of the site is in English, and it wasn’t long before it fell to my madd langwidge skillz, yo. No more than an hour or two, anyway.
While I found the idea of Portuguese adult chat a little hard to swallow at first (considering that I’m far more familiar with the Dutch and Eastern European varieties), a few clicks was all it took to prove that the Iberian peninsula has its own alluring brand of chat girl. Here’s what T of A offers upon arrival:
What’s On Offer
There are some fine-looking ladies here. But lest you end up shocked, let me point out that there are also some guys with their peckers hanging out, not to mention the ever-popular chicks-with-dicks. In fact, I had to keep refreshing this splash page until I got one without an obvious male. Oh, maybe that wouldn’t bother you bisexual fellows, but it could be something of an unwelcome surprise to the All-American hetero boy. Isn’t it odd how Europeans can be so much more casual than Americans about all kinds of sex? Yet isn’t it funny how we’re nevertheless the biggest market for smut in the world? It’s a mystery for the ages.
But back to business. What we’ve got here is page after page of European Latin beauty. Not Latin in the Latin American sense, however; most Latinas are at least partly Native American, and while that makes me drool into my beard, European Latin girls are a bit different. They tend to be paler and leggier than the average Latina, for one thing. Sure, there are lots of delectable brunettes here, but a many more natural blondies, too. How do I know? Well, let’s just say there are ways to tell if you’re persistent, heh heh.
The Big Question
My adoring public, I know you love me because I alone, among all the adult chat pundits on this vast Interweb, am intrepid enough to ferret out the facts you really care about. So before you start throwing those tomatoes, let me hasten to tell you that with Tempo de Antena, the answer to your most important concern is “Yes, you do get decent free teaser chat.” Allow me to explain.
While not all the young ladies on display offer free chat, most do. When you open up a chat window and start flirting, you’ll see a timer in the upper right corner that reads “240.” That’s how many seconds you get to chat up your girl for free, so basically four minutes. If you come back later, you can get another four free minutes; that’s eight minutes a day. In my experience you don’t get to see much, though. They prefer to save nudity for private chat. However, you do get a few extras; most of the ladies post free photos on their profiles, though these seem downright prim compared to stuff we’ve seen on other sites, like, say, 1on1world.
One slightly annoying thing about Tempo de Antena is that you rarely find many performers online, no matter when you check in. As you can see from the picture above, there were only five online when I took that shot. Maybe it had something to do with the time of day: it was before midnight here, but probably a lot closer to dawn there. I’d hate to think that it was because the site just doesn’t have very many active performers. It claims over 860, after all, which should put it well above 247live and its ilk on the disappointment scale.
Technomoney
My experience with Tempo de Antena, spread out over the course of about five months, is that the girls are fine and the video quality is decent. It could be better, but I’ve never had any technical difficulties with T of A — though admittedly I don’t spend the time here that I do on the really juicy free sites like Flirt4free and PrivateFeeds.
Now, on to that most painful of subjects for me: spending money. Tempo de Antena offers some fair-to-middlin’ packages for you. Membership is free, but it hasn’t the privileges you might expect; if you’re only here to cop the freeness, don’t bother becoming a member. If you want to see Portuguese ladies naked, though, you’re going to have to become a member so you can put money into your account. Just five bucks US will get you all the free chat you want for a month — but remember, not all girls offer free chat. Private chat averages 1.44-2 Euros per minuto, which falls on the low end of the chat scale. Okay, so even I’ll admit that ain’t bad. You can add money through Visa or MasterCard in amounts of $10, $25, $55, or $115 at a time.
And in Conclusion…
While Tempo de Antena isn’t likely to make it into my list of Top Five free teaser sites, it’s in the Top 20 — and believe me, I’ve seen a lot of sites, way more than the 35 or so I’ve reviewed so far. (I believe I’ve mentioned before that I don’t review the craptastic ones, unless they really piss me off). T of A may be a little light on the performers, but it does offer a decent amount of free chat without too much trouble, technical or otherwise. While I could wish for a little more nudity (okay, so a lot more), it’s nonetheless pleasant to view the well-rounded curves of Portuguese senhoras on occasion. My recommendation is that you dip your toes in the waters here regularly, and see what you can see.

Hey,
Nice review, and the site is worthy, straight into the action when you get there - I like that. There was plenty of bios and performers when I had a look around.
Unfortunately after I filtered the search to gals only, there was just the one babe that was live “Ida” - she was cute petite gal and had a cute body.
I will bookmark this site and come back later to see if there’s anymore available.
So far it looks OK, just got to hope that more will be on later.
Thanks,
Jason

Hey Jason,
This is definitely a great site. Usually there’s more action, though — you should definitely check back.
Yours,
Chris
