CAM4 (cam4.com) is a major live adult webcam platform and one of the longest-running cam sites online, launched in 2007. It specializes in amateur and semi-professional performers broadcasting live sex shows, chats, and interactive sessions in real time, positioning itself as "the largest and most exciting adult webcam community" with millions of users and thousands of active broadcasters at any given time.

Unlike free porn tubes (PornoBae, TXXX, PornHits) or short-form clip sites (XXXTik, OGFap, FYPTT, FikFap), CAM4 is a live streaming service where viewers watch and interact directly with models via chat, tips, requests, and private shows. Performers (mostly amateurs, but including some pros) go live from home setups, showcasing nudity, masturbation, sex with partners, toy play, roleplay, fetishes, and more. The site supports all genders and orientations, with strong representation in categories like female, male, couples, trans, and group cams.

Key features include:

• Free public chats (viewers watch for free, tip with tokens to motivate actions or unlock requests)
• Private shows (paid one-on-one sessions, often with cam2cam for mutual viewing)
• Spy mode (peek into private shows anonymously for a lower fee)
• Token-based economy (buy tokens to tip, buy media, or enter privates; models earn a share)
• Mobile-friendly streaming and broadcasting
• Extensive filters: gender, age, region, tags (e.g., big tits, anal, squirt, BDSM), new models, top earners
• Daily contests, featured cams, and "Cam of the Month" recognitions (e.g., won "Cam Site of the Year" at SNAP Awards 2025)

Reviews from ThePornDude, MrPornGeek, and others praise its huge amateur variety, authentic "real people" vibe (less polished than studio-heavy sites like Chaturbate or Stripchat), reliable streaming, and free access to public rooms. It's popular for casual browsing or finding niche performers.

Drawbacks include heavy ads/pop-ups on free access (ad-blockers help), token costs for interactions, occasional technical glitches, and past security incidents (e.g., 2020 data leak). For ethical viewing, tip generously to support models directly. CAM4 remains a cornerstone of live cam entertainment, ideal for those seeking interactive, unscripted adult fun over pre-recorded videos or AI chats like SpicyChat.
