Overview:
There are few technological marvels invented in the last few decades as game-changing to pornography as the webcam. Allowing women around the world, young and old, broke and not-so-broke, bursting with sexual energy and just plain lazy, to show off their bodies (and personalities) via a video chat that can and no doubt will be watched by horny homebodies from all around Earth. A number of "cam sites" have come and gone, taking some of the "camgirls" with them, leaving others to find a new online home. Private Feeds, however, has been going strong for over ten years, hosting a wide range of real women, men, transsexuals, and couples who are willing to exchange their sexuality for "tokens" (cam site currency). The cost varies according to the performer you plan on watching, with some charging a small amount for private chats in which almost anything can happen and others charging a small fortune for you to watch them site on their bed in their underwear, absentmindedly flash a nipple, then answer a text from some dude they're probably going to fuck in real life. Private Feeds seems from the outset to pride itself on offering an enormous variety of performers. Where most sites stick to girls who can speak or at least type English, Private Feeds brings women, men, couples, and trannies from every country you can think of - and a few more, I'd wager - to your virtual fingertips. Wanna enter a world you might never return from? Yeah, me too. Let's rock!

Pros:
Private Feeds hosts an absolute fuckload of webcam performers. There are currently 5,760 registered performers and, although many will no doubt only come online every now and then, you're given a great variety to choose from. The layout of the site is fairly straightforward and each time you hit the homepage a new featured performer appears, possibly introducing you to a new favorite camgirl.

As stated above, Private Feeds offers a ton of variety from cam to cam, with every kind of performer you can imagine. The All Models page gives you plenty of criteria to choose from: New, Couple, 18-20, Mature, Big Tits, Asian, Latina, and Ebony all the way down to less prominent options like Indian, Post-Op, Preggo, and Male.

The webcam videos shown here vary in quality depending on a number of variables - the type of webcam the model is using, the strength of her connection, the strength of yours, excessive traffic on the servers, the time of day or night et. al. - but the advent of High Definition cams has ensured that at least a few performers will be quite impressively rendered in clear, strong, dynamic images.

Although Private Feeds can make turn you more broke and desperate than O.J. Simpson in his merch-stealing mode, spend a bit of time here and hunt around; you just might find the bargain of a lifetime. Well, the week, at least. Some girls will go private for as little as six or seven tokens per minute. Just because she's inexpensive that doesn't mean you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Not at all!

Cons:
During the few hours I spent at Private Feeds this time around, I experienced somewhat frequent disconnections from chats and errors that prevented me from enjoying private chats (see below). Attempts to troubleshoot also came up empty with the allegedly "Live 24/7" help agent being absent, replaced by a generic complaint form. Great customer service, Private Feeds! Seriously. No, really, nice job.

Try as I might to pull HoneyBunny, a busty Colombian redhead, into a private chat, error messages stopped my every attempt. "An error has occurred. Please try again later." I also tried this with a number of other performers and received the same error messages time and time again. Private Feeds allegedly supports Mac OSX, but perhaps that was throwing a wrench in the works.

(This is something of a personal gripe, but in the world of professional camgirls, everything's personal!) Private Feeds performer SoftCuteLily said she "LOL"ed at a joke I made BUT SHE TOTALLY DIDN'T LAUGH OUT LOUD I KNOW CAUSE I WAS WATCHING THE WHOLE TIME! I hate it when they lie!!1@

Probably the most annoying element of Private Feeds is that the cams are rebroadcast simultaneously on numerous other websites, namely MyCam, HotClubCams, CamTrue, HomeCams, We-Cam, and in some cases even Live Latina. Man, that's a rather sketchy number of additional sites to be operating, don't ya think?

Conclusion:
Before we get into the final judgement on the revised Private Feeds, let's discuss pricing. Membership is free but doesn't really get you more than previews. Tokens, while neither excessively expensive nor awesomely cheap, cost $10 for 40 tokens, $24.99 for 100, $49.99 for 200, $74.99 for 300, and $99 for 400 tokens; though when spending $100.00 you'll get a 10% bonus. Now, does that fit with what I've described up above or does it seem outrageously costly? Well, that really depends on your personal taste and how much satisfaction you get from webcam shows. Because I was prevented at every turn from engaging in private chats, I can only base my assumptions on their worth by what I saw in the free "public" chats. Thankfully, I chose my performers carefully, quickly exiting the rooms of those who seemed to be all about the money. There is a relatively inexpensive way to have a grand ol' time with webcam girls, folks, and it involves something we porn-addicted chronic masturbators know very little about: self-restraint. Get talking to a girl in public chat and if she doesn't mind talking with you for twenty, thirty minutes, then try for a private. That way she'll have some idea of who you are and she'll reward your courtesy and devotion with an extra special show. Private Feeds could be the greatest adult site you've ever found or it could be a massive waste of your hard-earned money. Webcams are much like, well, anything really: you get out what you put in; in this case, you're putting in money and, more importantly, time. (And money. Man, it always comes down to money.)
