These days, when most erotic camsites are places you go to enjoy a performance from an erotic entertainer, usually on an individual-transaction basis, it’s easy to forget (unless you are a web-oldster like me) that the early days of webcamming were not like that. The first sexy webcams were entirely voyeuristic: free (and very quickly, once their popularity overwhelmed their bandwidth) paid-subscription surveillance-type fixed cameras. Fans watched them for hours and days on end, hoping for a glimpse of titty as the women who ran them lived their normal lives. Sure, those women were likely to be free-spirited hedonistic exhibitionists who showed a lot of skin. If they weren’t at first, they quickly became so, once they started selling subscriptions and noticing what sort of behavior kept the subscribers coming back for more! But even so, many of these early surveillance-cam sites had just one or two cameras, and often they showed nothing but a dark room, or an empty one. Still they attracted hundreds of thousands of fans and customers, creating the entire camgirl industry that we know and love today.
Voyeur House recreates the voyeuristic charm of those early camsites, but by combining nine locations and more than seventy cameras with a subscription model and an archive of recorded footage of “the good stuff” for members, there’s nothing to fear from the dreaded “dark room camera” that used to plague those old sites. Sure, you may see a dim room with sleeping people from time to time, but it’s never the only thing to look at:
At the moment when the sleeping couple above was on the Voyeurhouse.com front page, I clicked to a different camera and found a woman elsewhere, getting dressed:
A few minutes later she was sitting fully clothed on that couch, working a wireless keyboard intensely; I watched her until I got bored, which didn’t take long. The point of that exercise was to convince myself that I wasn’t being suckered by bot/loop/non-live extra-salacious footage. I’m pretty sure there aren’t any marketers out there subtle enough to lure me in with a naked woman who gets dressed and then types furiously and at length, so I was fairly quickly convinced that this cam footage was both live and legit.
Indeed, the marketing stuck me as being rather straightforward and honest in appearance: lots of semi-blurred salacious-looking thumbnails labeled “MEMBERS” or with a “24” logo indicating rewind footage that’s for members only. The sexiest thumbs are from some popular archived sex scenes, but members also have access to some bedroom and bathroom cams that are typically not available for free, as well as to 24-hour-archives of every camera. So there’s plenty to see if you drop in for free, but you definitely need to be a member to get the most voyeuristic value from all these cams.
