    Default Length of Performances (How long do they last?)

    Hello!
    Before applying to become a web cam model (specifically on Streamate), I've actually been doing my research for the past few days.

    First, I want to express my gratitude for the helpful and superfluous advice/info provided from everyone in the forum.

    I've been doing my darnest to search for a topic specifically talking about how long a performance lasts, but I continuously come up short, which leads me to creating a new thread. So, if this question has already been asked&answered, I'm sorry for being the broken record.

    My direct question: HOW LONG DO YOU PERFORM DURING A SESSION? Specifically on Streamate (exclusive, private, gold).

    Like, are you going at it for 30 minutes? 60 minutes? Or merely 7 minutes, and that's successful?
    Secondary question: Are you also making sure you're not under/over time? How do you do that?

    I understand that the customer is charged per minute, so how do you determine how long your performance should be? Or does the customer decide how long it is? I'm confused on that part.

    And once the length is established, how do you, uh... decide on what to do to last that long? I don't know how to better articulate that question. Maybe that question can be ignored.

    I've attempted to time a performer's show, but it hasn't worked out because I'd end up forgetting about it and closing my browser. :p Well, once I timed a performer where she was gone for about 5-10 minutes in a private show. Gosh, I sound like a creep. Maybe I am *cue Radiohead*

    Thank you so much for reading this lengthy post and answering my odd question.

    How long is a piece of string? How long does a guy take to come? ;-)

    2 seconds up to several hours. Majority for me are between 5 min and 30 min, I'd guess.

    I set my goal shows for somewhere between 6 and 20 minutes. Privates/exclusives vary as Vlodina says and can be a minute or two up to hours and hours. The viewer won't tell you in advance how long he will need/want but some roleplay requests etc are likely to take longer.

    No one can really answer what to do or how long it will take - you just have to jump in at the deep end and work out your own thing. For example, a fetish model will have a very different idea of how to proceed from that of a vanilla model whose main focus is stripping from that of an ass-shaking model etc.

    I would suggest you take a minute to ask the viewer a couple of simple questions at the start: what is your name; how are you today; what are you into. Then take it from there. If they give long engaging answers and ask you things too then maybe they enjoy chatting. If they say 'naked bb' then you know they'd probably like to just get on with it as quick as possible

    you never know how long a show will take, unless they buy block sessions, and even then some stay longer than the time they bought so that adds up nicely.

    a lot of guys just want to get as much as they can for as little money as possible (is that even a decent sentence? I'm not fully awake yet lol), but don't let them rush you through your show! I don't take anything off until the first minute has passed and then I remove one piece of clothing every minute. I notice that the guys who want a 2 minute show are always the most annoying ones, they want you to switch positions 10 times and bust your pussy with a dildo. some of them even expect you to cum. LOL. that's my experience anyway.

    For gold shows, you decided how much time you will perform for and when you hit your time limit Streamate will kick everyone out of your room for you.

    For private-type shows then it is up to the guy when the show ends. When he clicks out of your private room then you are given a 30 second countdown before you are in your free chat again.

    Hope this helps....

    Like others have said any where from seconds to hours in pvt.
    Gold shows you set.
    My average private is probably 10 minutes, exclusives are usually the same
    Some guys leave as soon as they cum some wait for you to finish. Learn to pace yourself in your shows and they will last longer, when I first started I was running through the motions of a private way to fast. Now I keep a stopwatch app open on my computer so I know how much time has passed in private and to know Im pacing the show properly. Sometimes you can draw it out more, take cues from the guy (if hes actually typing lol)

    I don't think any model really thinks about controlling the length of her show to the point where she would be able to predict if it would be a long or short show. Sometimes a member will buy a block of time. With gold shows you can set the length of your show but that's about it. I know other cam sites where you can see how many tokens the member has you can kind of predict how long they will stay with you but that's not guaranteed since they can stop they show before their tokens are used up.

    It's actually best not to even think about how long to make a show. Go with the flow and use your intuition. A guy will let you know what he wants to see most of the time if not you can just ask him, "what's your favorite position?" etc. There will be days where all you get are short 2-3 minute shows and you spend more time getting your clothes back on and there will be days where you get your entire days goal with one exclusive guy who just wants to chat for an hour or two.

    The customer definitely decides how long each show is, because they can leave any time they want. If we the performers were able to decide, I'm certain we would make each show last a looooong time.

    Honestly, on SM since about January, my average private is less than 3 minutes. I attribute this to their huge mobile issue that kicks people out of the room constantly, and the fact their SM has decided to attract extremely super cheap guys now. I know I'm not the cause of my short private shows because I've had a lot of other people tell me that they experience the exact same thing, and because I get tons of 5 star ratings. So.....? I think it's the site and the quality of customers. Good thing is, I pretty much never have to get naked or use toys to make money. I can go hours without using a single toy simply because the guys just do not stay in private. Another reason I know they are cheap customers - they turn on C2C and have their dick out beating it furiously so clearly they don't intend to stay long... and they don't. Cheap assholes. That about sums it up.

    But yah, my money is mostly made up of tons of tiny private shows which I wouldn't even call "shows" because 3 minutes isn't even long enough for me to get started on anything... and then the random super long show.
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    Thank you everyone for the advice.

    Tonight will be my third time. I am beginning to get the hang of making drawing out sessions.
