Video-Girl sex videochat review

A bit of history

«Video-Girl.tv» — the first erotic video chat of the Russian internet!» That is exactly the line that greets us on the front page of video-girl.tv. This statement can be read in two ways: «first» — meaning the best, and «first» — meaning the oldest. Let's start with age. The Video-Girl sex videochat appeared at the end of 2007, however it wasn't the very first one — by that time one or two videochats were already working on the Russian internet. But if we only take into account the sex videochats that have survived since those days, then yes, Video-Girl can safely be called the first. As for the best, I'll have my say on that in the conclusions.

Choice of girls

At any time of the day or night the Video-Girl sex videochat pleases its visitors with a large choice of models online. Their number goes from 20-30 in the morning hours up to about 90 girls at the peak. I have never once managed to see more than 90 online models.

Skimming through the list of all the girls, what catches the eye is the large number of explicit photos (HornyMarina, Arina, Cleopatra, sex26, lez) and of photos downloaded from somewhere in the vastness of the internet and having nothing to do with the model herself. All of that tells us that the administration's control isn't exactly meticulous.

The variety of models will let anyone find a girl to their taste. There are Asians and Europeans and even mulattas, there are redheads, dark-haired ones, fair ones, ones with red hair, there are nurses and maids, there are F+F couples (NastyCats, Kisuli) and M+F ones (sexypara) and, it seems, there's even Olga Buzova (russanna) :).

The Video-Girl sex videochat only allows girls to register as models. Male models have been moved to a separate site — Video-Boy.

The list of online models on the front page is shown in full without paging, which I personally liked a lot. But, on the other hand, the girls who are in the paid or in the free chat or in private are scattered chaotically all over the list, which forces you to squint hard to work out who is in which mode right now. It would be better if the list showed the free chat first, then the paid one, and the ones in private might as well not be shown at all, especially considering that spying on a private isn't possible.

The site's main menu gives access to the list of online models and to the full catalogue of models with a search option. The search is frankly poor and only lets you search by name, age or body type (and what about breast size?!). No ratings, tops or «best models» were discovered.

The video in the models' chats is mostly of average quality and leaves room for imagination, but on the other hand no lags were noticed.

What can you see?

«Showing bared parts of the body in the «free chat» mode is prohibited, actions in the «private» and «paid chat» modes are left by the administration to the model's discretion...». It is this uncomplicated rule that defines what is allowed and what isn't on the site. And it's completely unclear what the Video-Girl sex videochat means by «bared parts of the body». Is a bared leg allowed or not? And if it is, up to which point can the leg be bared? The girls, naturally, interpret this rule however they like.

Most girls in the free chat are dressed in erotic lingerie, some perform fiery dances. You also come across rather original forms of dress. Once I watched a girl in a T-shirt but without panties, with the webcam looking from below upwards so that the picture started at her pubis. If the camera had been lowered a little more (or if the girl had raised herself up), you could have observed the chat mistress's pussy in all its glory. Understandably, they practically never let this model out of private. I also saw an online model wrapped in a towel over her naked body, an outfit like that let the girl expose, as if by accident, first one and then another exciting part of her body.

However, outright nudity in the «free chat» mode can be met very rarely, and that's despite the fact that the chat is practically not controlled by the administration. Sometimes girls start caressing their bared breasts, but almost immediately go into the paid chat afterwards. There's also the variant where an online model gets slightly naked in the free chat for tips, but that's a rarity too.

In the paid chat you can come across absolutely anything, from a gripping depraved show with toys and improvised implements, to a bored model drinking tea with a bun (and that for 20 credits!). And I noticed a trend that I hadn't observed before on other sex videochats (maybe I just wasn't paying attention): the model comes into the free chat, sits there dejectedly for a while, gathers up more visitors and goes into the paid chat in the hope that someone will follow her. In the paid chat she stares into the camera with a bored look on her face for about five minutes, waits for nobody and goes back to the free chat. And so on forever. And it would be fine if the model put on some kind of online show before going into paid, but no, she just sits there barely communicating, and then bam — paid chat. And it's far from just one online model who does that. Strange.

But, to be fair, it has to be said that most of the girls do lure you into paid with active moves — for example, it's a pleasure to watch SexiestHelen and jesydiamond work.

In private, what happens is what is supposed to happen in private, namely the personal satisfaction of the client's needs. As tradition dictates, it's recommended to agree about those needs in advance. By the way! There are no artificial restrictions on showing M+F couples in private, so if a suitable couple turns up, you can boldly invite them to private.

The Video-Girl sex videochat doesn't offer the option of spying on a private. On the one hand that's bad, since it doesn't let you see for less money what somebody else is paying more for. On the other hand it's good, because in private the client stays one on one with the model and you can be sure that nobody will join in on the process.

Money

The price of the paid chat is set by the model and can be from 5 credits per minute up to 20. The price of a private is fixed and amounts to 42 credits per minute of communication. Billing in both cases is per second with a precision of 0.5 credits. And the per-second count starts from the very first second. Besides that, money can be spent on tips for the model. The size of the tip is decided by the user himself. Minimum 1 credit, maximum — I didn't check. :)

What's nice is that when topping up the account via webmoney, the user himself chooses how much money he wants to spend on credits, and the system calculates how many credits the visitor can buy. The price of one credit is roughly 1.6 WMR. So the paid chat costs from 8 to 32 WMR per minute. The price of a private is 67 WMR per minute.

The choice of ways to top up the account is extremely rich. There's SMS and Yandex.Money and plastic cards and bank transfers and much more. But it's impossible either to see when and how the funds were deposited, or to find out where they went, which I consider inconvenient.

The Video-Girl sex videochat, thankfully, doesn't charge any «account maintenance fees» and generally doesn't harass inactive users.

How to earn money on Video-Girl?

There are only two standard ways:

• Become a model and get 1 dollar per minute of private (a little less than 50% of what the user spent when paying via webmoney) and 0.12-0.48 dollars per minute from every user in the paid chat. Plus 70% of the tips earned.
• Register in the affiliate program and get 21% of the credits spent by users and $10 for every active webmaster.

I wasn't able to find any bonuses or discounts.

How the chat works

The Video-Girl sex videochat has a leaning towards simplicity and minimalism, so the chat interface is light and clear and, you could say, even ascetic. There's the option to switch between three screen sizes, you can adjust the volume, and in private you can even adjust the image quality. What's nice, in the list on the left you can see everyone in the room. A message can be made bold, italic or underlined, and you can also insert animated smileys.

Among the pleasant features, it's worth noting the option to send the model tips (the amount is chosen by yourself) and to send a link to your own photo album (free, but you need to have no less than 200 credits on your account).

Using the free chat, you can talk to models for up to two minutes even without registering. For that you'll be given a guest nick (something like Guest123). However, some girls forbid you to send them a message if the visitor's balance equals zero. In that case even free registration won't help — you'll have to top up. But that's only if you have an irresistible desire to talk to this particular girl, since you can always find an online model who allows you to write with an empty wallet.

All three modes of communication (free chat, paid chat and private) are done in one and the same interface, so there shouldn't be any problems when switching. On the front page, the model's chat mode is shown plainly, in words.

In private the cam2cam mode is available for free, that is, you can turn on the image from your own webcam and the model will see it.

The model's profile

Most of the girls have an almost empty profile. Quite often it's only the profile data and one main photo. There are only five items in the profile data, but on the other hand there's my beloved breast size (then again, there's no search by it anyway). I did manage to find an «average score» in the profile, on a five-point scale. Here's what the rules say about it: «users with a balance of no less than 200 cr. can rate a model. It's absolutely free, all you have to do is top up your balance.». For some girls you can see a schedule of when they're online.

Video-Girl VS Ruscams

The Video-Girl sex videochat is quite self-sufficient, but reviewing it is impossible without a comparison with its competitor — the Ruscams videochat. Despite the fact that by age Video-Girl is older than Ruscams, it plays the role of the little brother (or the little sister, whichever you prefer). What does that consist of? First of all, the choice of online models at any given moment on Video-Girl is more modest than on Ruscams. Secondly, the prices, on average, are lower. Thirdly, you can feel that the big brother Ruscams is more serious and stricter: you always sense the invisible hand of the moderator in the chat (on Video-Girl you can calmly discuss alternative sex videochats, and lately there have been very many offers to move to skype, coming both from the models and from the members), it's not so easy to find explicit or stolen photos in the girls' profiles, and much more.

Yet it is precisely the low prices and the weak control over the behaviour of models and visitors that make this sex videochat a favourite among a great number of users and allow Video-Girl to exist right next door to Ruscams. You might get the impression that having such a little brother around only gets in the models' way, but that's not entirely so. First of all, it's always good when there's an alternative. Secondly, not all models manage to make friends with the administration of Ruscams, and the existence of a second sex videochat helps them out a great deal.

Conclusions

Is the slogan «Video-Girl.tv» — the first erotic video chat of the Russian internet!» fair? Whether it's the first or not is impossible to say for certain, but Video-Girl is unquestionably in the top three. :) I'd say that it's a simple, clear and inexpensive videochat with a rich choice of online models, which ought to be in the bookmarks of any connoisseur of virtual sex. Besides, the existence of a competitor in the shape of Video-Girl keeps RusCams from turning into a monopolist, which undoubtedly has a positive effect on all lovers of sex videochats.

Interesting facts, features, bugs

• «the first erotic video chat of the Russian internet» is owned and run by a Cypriot company. Yet all the agreements, for some reason, refer to Russian legislation.
• Video-Girl doesn't bother users with all sorts of agreements, rules and conditions. No, they exist, but all together they take up a couple of pages of text at most.
• On the page «What is an «erotic video chat» and how does it work?» the site «video-girl.ru» is given instead of «Video-Girl.tv».
• In the «Rules for models» it says that «...actions in the «private» and «paid chat» modes are left by the administration to the model's discretion...», however on the page «Agreement with models» it says that «...in the «paid chat» mode it is allowed to bare the breasts...».

Generally speaking, though, the Video-Girl sex videochat is so light and simple that any problems are rather hard to dig up.
