“Gay cam” covers two very different experiences: watching live performers and chatting cam-to-cam with another user. Cam shows run on sites like Chaturbate, which we rate 4/5, while random cam-to-cam happens on sites like Jerkay.

This guide explains how the two differ so you can pick the right one. If you mainly want two-way conversation, our cam-to-cam chat guide covers the general format.

Is using gay cams safe?

Watching gay cam shows is low-risk, while broadcasting yourself carries more risk because anything on camera can be recorded. Use a payment method you control and never send money to users outside the site.

• Gardez votre visage, vos tatouages et tout élément permettant votre identification hors du cadre jusqu'à nouvel ordre.
• Ne communiquez jamais votre nom complet, votre lieu de travail, votre adresse, vos réseaux sociaux ou votre numéro de téléphone à un inconnu.
• Partez du principe que tout ce qui est filmé peut faire l'objet d'une capture d'écran ou d'un enregistrement, et n'oubliez pas que les arnaques à l'extorsion sexuelle ciblent les hommes sur ces sites.
• Quittez immédiatement les lieux si quelqu'un vous envoie des liens, vous demande de l'argent ou des cartes-cadeaux, ou vous menace de diffuser des enregistrements.
• Utilisez un mot de passe fort et unique ainsi que l'authentification à deux facteurs sur tous les sites proposant des comptes.
