Overview
This adult chat community is one of the most enjoyable hangouts in the sex cam arena and it keeps users on their toes with new options and crazy tools that really contribute to the community feel.
User experience
iFriends.net offers an aesthetic appeal that many other sites lack. Rather than just throwing webcam at you, they have put a lot of thought into the setup of the site, the positioning of the various links and evidently they understand very well the way that online promotion works. The upper menu provides site navigation to pages such as:
- Live Webcams
- Pics and Video Links
- Hot Menu
- Resources
Besides this, iFriends.net also offers a search functionality, which allows users the ability to enter in model names or search terms and yield very specific results. This is not something that is seen very often and is a nice touch, noticeable at the very start of your iFriends journey. The site makes good use of colors, having chosen a blue theme which instills a feeling of confidence and trust from the moment the site is loaded.
The main drawback of the site is that there is no free ‘guest’ video webcam chat. You can text chat with the models but that is all. A free membership is simple to obtain:
- Username
- Password
- Address
- Credit Card info (for age verification)
It is a little more information that is required for many other sites, but the end product is a much more refined and civil service. By removing the free chat users from the equation you get a more fluid and interactive webcam chat experience. At the end of the day, when you’re dealing with live adult cams that is exactly what you want.
Besides chat time, the biographies of the models are also unlocked to their full potential once you are a registered member. The biographies are divided in to 6 sections (tabs on top of the page):
- Basic Profile
- Photos and Videos
- Secrets and Fantasies
- About Me
- Keep in Touch
- Fun Stuff
Each model runs their own fan club which unlocks new hidden doors in the adult webcam shows world. Not only do you get access to the inner most desires of your chosen model, allowing you to ensure that your shows with them provide more than a little enjoyment for the model herself, but there are special features that allow you schedule online ‘dates’with the model. Receive alerts when she is online and agree to meet with her for private shows at certain times with a diary style planner. There is even the option to CALL the model with an application called GetCloser.

Search options
The left hand menu is split into two pre-defined filter options: Categories and Filters.
Categories
These offer users the ability to refine the offered webcams based around the types of webcam shows being offered within each feed. Such as:
- Cougar
- Curvy
- Female on Female
Filters
These use the physical characteristics and special features of the cam models, like tattoos and piercings, to narrow down the results.
- Age
- Build
- Bust
- Ethnicity
- Eye Color
- Hair Color
- width
- ‘Speciality Option’
Within each Filter criteria are a large number of sub-options that allow users to return very ‘customer specific’ results to suit their needs and desires at that particular time.

Payment Options:
This web site accepts major credit cards and debits including: MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, JCB, Discover, EuroCard and Diners Club.
Unlike other webcam sites, iFriends.net bills your card directly for the per minute video chat rate, without any credits or tokens coming in the way, the benefit of which is transparency, and it’s a huge advantage when you’re planning your adult chat spend. The VideoChat wallet is a feature designed to allow you to define your spend on cam shows in advance, by adding funds to it. If that’s not enough, when you add credit to your VideoChat wallet you enjoy a 10% discount. It’s important to note that the per minute rate is determined by the webcam model, whether you use the wallet or not.
Alongside Fan Clubs, the site also offers various membership types.
- Club VIP costs $6.95 / month, and includes unlimited free chat, cam to cam, taking snapshots inside the video chat room, creating a private gallery of their favorite photos, downloading videos, and much much more – you get almost anything you could wish for.
- Club Elite costs $9.95 / month, and aside from including everything ClubVIP entails, it also allows you to watch full screen HD webcam shows (with resolution as high as 1920×1080), view multiple live video streams at once, the “Verified Age” feature (which guarantees that when the model says she had just turned 18, she’s really 18 years old), and other exciting features which simple members or VIP users are not exposed.
Safety
The security of user personal information is important to ifriends. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on their registration or order forms, they encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
They follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information, including your email address, submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while they strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, they cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Conclusion
In summary, this site is slightly more elite than many of the others out there and does not cater to the free market at all. However, what that leaves is a very high quality site with impeccable service levels. If you are looking for a site that takes everything to that next level, then iFriends.net is what you are looking for, without shadow of a doubt.

Go online and you will feel the same way – it’s just an awesome adult cam site that succeeds in bring sex, socializing and innovation together.

I have an experience in couple of adult websites but ifriends I really like because of the handsome guys and simple site navigation. Other then that, my opinion is that private shows are a bit higher. All in all, I like being here!
The Hot Menu I like the most: it supports a lot of advanced features such as replay (if you missed something you can easily catch up), you can search models by region which I like. So, my vote goes for it and will continue using it :)
The site has some great features such as Cam2Cam and Favorite list that I have been using the most. I did not like that there was some lack in Porn Star cams...
