ImLive Gay Review - Affordable Male Webcam Models

For those on the hunt for hot camguys, ImLive is bound to pop up as one of the top sites. It's a premium site with lots of awesome features, and there is a lot to enjoy on the site. The areas where ImLive struggles a bit are that it has a limited number of cam guys available, and most of the video streams in high-quality standard definition instead of true HD. But don't despair! The guys who are here do a lot to engage with you and ensure that you have a lot of fun.

Visit ImLive.com

ImLive is a premium site, and the website experience is generally intuitive. In addition to a solid web design, they've got: a multi-tiered reward program, gifts for members who purchase tokens, multi-viewer views, pornstar appearances, interactive toys, and a number of other great features. The landing page has helpful filters, and when you select men as a category, the screen populates with picture thumbnails that are replaced with streaming live video as you hover over them. 

The additional categories are helpful and can totally speed up your search for a particular type of m4m cam guy. There are individual selection options to sort your guys and also a tab that lists all available sorting features: price, ethnicity, penis size, special, show type, appearance, and age. Selecting any of these updates the homepage for you. Don't be too surprised if, as you select filters, the number of available cam guys goes down to a handful. On average, there are around 40 cam guys online at any time – a striking difference to the several hundred women often available on the site.

The Gay Cam Models

ImLive does have fun, sexy, and entertaining guys to chat with – I just wish there were more of them. So, what type of guys can you expect to encounter on your visit? The majority fall in the 18-30ish age group and the majority identify as gay, though there are also bi and straight guys here too. There is a solid distribution of body sizes and ethnicities for you to choose from, and with the free chat option, you can habla sexy with your papi in no time.

On some premium sites, the only guys you will see are classically handsome, muscular, and looking like they just walked out of a hair salon. ImLive offers a slightly different assortment of guys, think less super-model and more guy-next-door, which I think is a benefit. Chatting with anyone new can be a bit difficult, but these ImLive guys make it very comfortable and easy right from the start.

ImLive Feature Highlights

Do you have a hot fantasy involving sexy men that has been running around in your head for as long as you can remember? What if I told you that ImLive could help you fulfill that lusty dream?

ImLive has an easy way for you to submit your fantasy, and the only people who will see it are the cam guys themselves. If you tap the arrow next to your username, a number of pages are listed. Member page is both the first listed and also the one with lots of cool features, including an area called fulfill your fantasy. These submissions go the cam guys, who then can contact you and will be delighted to do everything in their power to see if they can't lend a hand, or other body part, to help your wish come true.

Another of the great features here is the multi-viewer option. Selecting this displays 6 live video streams from the free chat rooms of the site's sexy and engaging cam guys.

And if those free chat rooms won't do it for you, as you've got your heart and other body parts set on diving deep into this pool of seductive cam guys, you can easily select the full sex mode on the multi-viewer page and get a juicy feed of live video streams from 6 private cam shows simultaneously. For those of us who struggle on deciding which cum-filled charmer to take into a private chat, this is a brilliant option.

Candy shows are a cool ImLive feature which can save you lots of credits. This show type lets the cam guy set a target tip amount, and once he's reached that goal, he'll put on a spectacular and sexy show for all those who tipped at least the minimum designated amount. The content and length of his show, and any special equipment, toys, or guest stars will be advertised by the guy upfront. If he doesn't hit his goal there won't be a show, though no worries, as you are also refunded all of your credits.

Other great features include:

• Member rewards club
• Low-cost chat
• C2C with 2-way audio included with private show price
• Guest porn star appearances
• Discount club for models to help save cash
• Easy to navigate site, free from pop-up ads

Getting Started

ImLive has an easy start-up process, with high level security for your protection. You just need to give them your email, a username, and your password and you're good to go.

Chat Options & Prices

The ImLive layout was recently refreshed, and where previously free chat was always clothed, that now seems to be changing, and I often see many large twigs and berries on display for your free viewing pleasure. This is another great way to engage with these cute cam guys before committing to a private show or wondering whether or not he has shoved a sock down his pants to enhance his package. I'm not sure if the new freedom is indicative of a deliberate shift, or if it is simply that the cock-censor has fallen asleep, but with cute guys like these, I'm certainly not complaining!

Free Chat

As I mentioned above, free chat has certainly morphed on ImLive into a much more NSFW playground, where it seems like the cam guys now have the ability to do whatever they like to engage with visitors, in an all-out effort to warm you up and get you to join them in a private chat. I find that these newly liberated m4m guys are enjoying expressing themselves in all that they do in front of their cameras and also in the messages sent back and forth between and among everyone in the room.

Private Show

The private shows are the bread-and-butter income for cam guys on ImLive, as relying on tips is, well, not reliable. Fortunately, the folks at ImLive have made a simple credit system, which doesn't require you to search for a calculator each time you log on. One dollar buys you 1 credit. Chat here averages $2.25/min, with the cheapest chats costing $1.00/min. With a discount club for many of the models, membership reward program, and many other discounts, credits, or freebies, ImLive is one of the cheapest cam sites around.

Because they are so eager to get you into a room, I think it is critical that you have a clear conversation about what you would like him to do and what you plan on doing while he gives you a private show. ImLive features c2c, as well as 2-way audio included for all cam guys with any private show, and if you plan on participating on cam, I would say to let them know. Better planning and communication improve the show quality and ensure everyone leaves satisfied.

Free Multi-Viewer Chat

Selecting the multi-viewer option along the top of the page will bring up a window with 6 video streams from free chat rooms for you to enjoy. The default setting is girl-alone, so you'll want to change it to guy-alone-straight or guy-alone-gay or guy-on-guy for you to enjoy a feed of your favorite fellas. 

Full Sex Mode Multi-Viewer Chat

For those who appreciate the idea behind the mutli-viewer chat, but want a much more intense experience, selecting full-sex mode will take the action to the next level and give you a much stronger appreciation of those phalluses in their full glory. ImLive does charge for this full sex mode, but the rate is a very reasonable 3 credits a minute, or around $3.00/min.

Payment Options

ImLive features a number of different methods to pay for site credits. Have you been stuck with a gift-card to a store that you will never shop at? There are gay cam sites that accept gift cards – ImLive just isn't on that list. And don't worry, any purchases you complete here will appear discreetly on your banking statement.

The site accepts:

• Credit Cards and Debit Cards
• Wire Transfer/Check
• PayPal

Mobile Experience of ImLive

ImLive has been optimized for mobile devices and it works quite well. The most limiting feature while using ImLive on the go is the size of your screen. If it's too small, it makes chatting a bit less enjoyable. The one feature that I always appreciate is the ability to c2c while on mobile devices. It can be tremendously fun and super helpful if your computer is otherwise in sight of roomies, neighbors, or just a really nosey dog. As another added benefit, ImLive doesn't charge extra for c2c with 2-way audio for desktop or mobile devices.

Video Quality

I enjoy my visits to ImLive currently, but if they had mostly HD streams coming at me from their m4m camrooms, I would spend way more hours and money on the site. As it stands, the video quality often comes through in high-quality standard definition. Now, this certainly isn't bad, and it still is a step above some camsites, but given that I spend a lot of time online in many different adult cam sites, I have become accustomed to super crisp images with high resolutions and vibrant colors.

ImLive does a decent job with the rest of their website, the mobile configuration is good, the multi-player options are excellent, and their customer appreciation program is pretty kick-ass as well. My not-so-secret hope is that increased video quality is the next feature to be upgraded.
