ImLive Gay Review - An Inexpensive HD Cam Site

ImLive has earned a reputation as a leading cam site, and with good reason. They offer hot cam sex with great-looking gay models, including many well-known porn stars, at affordable rates. Their easy-to-use platform has some amazing features, including a multi-viewer on which you can watch up to 6 guys at once. The site's bonus program rewards its devoted members, and though not all the models stream in HD, the numbers are improving.

When I recommend a site it's because the site offers enough to justify your time and mine. Yes, I'm looking quality HD, and the fact that not all ImLive models stream in HD is an issue. After all, can I really call it a premium HD cam site when the HD isn't all that great?

On the other hand, plenty of the models do. In addition, the site has two unique features that can't be topped: the multi-viewer, and the Fulfill Your Fantasy option. So, let's get into why ImLive deserves to be bookmarked.

First Impression

There's something vibrant about the ImLive homepage. When you log on you find an attractively designed gallery with an array of filter to help you streamline your experience. The gallery is full of glam shots, but most of the models live up to the promise. I also appreciate how ImLive's gallery can be arranged by price or rating, which makes it easier to shop for the right guy at the right price. 

The models' preview screens are labeled with helpful notes like Newbie, Top Host, or Host of the Month. The filter categories allow you to select from over 20 categories, and when click the filter a new gallery appears at the top of the page. That's really convenient. 

If you want to search based on several characteristics at once you can use the Advanced Search to combine hair color, build, languages, kinks, and more.

The Guys You Will Meet

ImLive has made sure to provide a taste of every sort of male model. The selection could be larger, but that's a gripe I have about the male category on most sites. After all, unless a site is really devoted to male models, the majority are going to be female, followed by transgenders. ImLive is no different in that regard.

Still, they have around 30 or 40 models online, covering every category you can think of and they've taken the time to categorize them. They've got Big Cock, Uncut, Muscular, and Versatile, just to name a few. They've also covered every age category (18+), so no matter what your tastes, there's someone there for you.

Top Site and Chat Room Features

This is a site with a laundry list of features, but I want to focus on two I'm really excited about because they're unique to ImLive. The first is the Multi-Viewer. This features allows you to view up to 6 models at once! Why hunt around for Mr. Right when there might be 6 of them? And just to clarify, it's not the same 6 dudes all the time. You can scroll through the models by clicking the left and right buttons on the sides of the player. Unfortunately, you can't preselect the models, but hopefully that's in the works.

ImLive is also the only site that offers the Fulfill Your Fantasy, option. This feature allows you to post your fantasies to the site's board in search of a model (or couple, or group) willing to make your dreams come true. Whatever you're into and however you'd like to see it done, just put it out there and wait for a model to get back to you.

Sounds perfect, doesn't it? It is and that feature alone makes this site worth visiting regularly. Just to be clear, you need to be a member to use the feature.

I mentioned up top that ImLive has a lot of features, which is one of the reasons I recommend the site. Here is just a partial list of the features offered:

• Discount Club (for individual models)
• Candy Shows (group shows)
• Prepaid Sessions
• Interactive Toys
• Excellent mobile interface
• Monthly Video Contests (by the models)
• Famous Porn Stars

ImLive on Mobile

These days, a site has to have an excellent mobile interface, and ImLive has put a lot of effort into theirs. The platform looks the same and operates just as well. The video quality is usually as good or better, and all of the features are available. You can enjoy some intimate time using cam to cam, and the full-screen feature enhances that.

Perhaps the coolest mobile feature is how the chat floats over the full screen, so you enjoy maximum viewing.

HD Webcam Quality

So, here's the thing about ImLive's HD quality: It really needs to improve. Yes, there are models streaming in HD, but the site still hasn't set it as the standard. I have to take a bunch of points off for that, because 1080p really should be the minimum for any cam site these days. An HD camera is no longer cost prohibitive, and even though the site is relatively inexpensive the average costs justify high-quality HD and Ultra-HD feeds.

To make things worse, there's no way to filter by HD standard or to adjust the video quality within a given room. All you can do is enter the room, assess the quality of the stream, and decide whether you want to stick around. It's far from ideal, but the site has many redeeming qualities and still deserves your attention.

Becoming a Member

The registration process is simple and straightforward. You give them an email address, choose a username and password, and click the Join Free button. That's really all there is to it. They don't ask for your credit card info, passport photo, fingerprint, or blood sample.

Once you've opened an account you'll have access to the model's rooms, their pics, their chat, and so on. To enjoy more than that you'll have to sign up for one of two plans offered by the site: the Platinum membership for $19.95 per month, or the Diamond membership $29.95 per month.

Wait...how did we jump all the way to platinum? What about the other precious metals?

Alright Mr. Chemistry Professor. Yes, there are Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels (as well as VIP), but those aren't plans you can buy. To reach those levels you'll have to climb the ImLive membership ladder by purchasing credits, so let's discuss how those work.

Purchasing ImLive Credits

Ready to dive into the enticing world of sexy cam shows? You'll want to have some credits to really get in on the fun. The good news is ImLive rewards your purchase with a 100% bonus up to 100 free credits. Buy 25 credits, get 50 total. Buy 50, get 100 total. As far as sites that offer free credits go, this is one of the best offers you'll find.

Unlike some sites, credits on ImLive are worth exactly what you paid. You won't have to drive yourself nuts making confusing conversions like you're overseas. A credit equals a dollar. End of story.

Sex Chat Costs

Free Chat

As I mentioned above, a free membership is all you need to enter a cam room, watch whatever is going on, and chat with the model. You're not going to get a lot of action at no cost, though, and if a model really is showing off for free some sugar daddy will sweep him into a private chat pretty quickly. To be sure, this isn't one of the cheapest sites for gay cam sex, but it is relatively affordable.

Private Chat

Private chats are where the magic happens. Models are willing to do just about anything for credits.

When you enter the private room you'll get a prompt with the model's per-minute price. The average price is around $2.25 a minute, but you can find shows for as little as $1.00 a minute.

Prices are non-negotiable, but some models offer bulk rates like "25% off for a 30-minute session," and similar pre-paid sessions. Also, many models have their own discount programs called Discount Clubs. You pay an upfront fee in exchange for reduced prices on everything the model offers that month, including chat.

One of many excellent features on the site is the 20-second sneak peek in the Private shows. If you're just not feeling the model and close the show within 20 seconds, there's no charge. Be quick with the mouse, though, or they'll get you for a few cents.

Candy Show

Sometimes models offer Candy Shows. The start time and ticket price are announced in advance in the Candy Shows section (see the Other Options filter tabs). Assuming the required number of people sign up, the show starts as scheduled. If not, you won't be charged. What happens in the Candy Show is up to the model, meaning the show is not as interactive as a Private Show.

Payment Methods

There are three ways to pay for credits on ImLive. They accept VISA and MasterCard, and that's the fastest and easiest way to pay. For those looking to maintain a buffer between themselves and what they purchase there's PayPal. There is no added fee for using the service. Unlike sites that accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, ImLive only accepts its dedicated cryptocurrency, PumaPay, and it's only available in certain countries. All three options offer the same rates on credits, so the only real difference is how discreet you want to be.

Customer Support

ImLive takes its customer support seriously. They understand they need to keep their users satisfied, which is why they provide 24/7 via chat and email. They also have a good FAQ page, which I recommend reading before you start using the site.

Positives and Negatives

Positives

✔ Multi-Viewer
✔ Fulfill Your Fantasy
✔ Porn star performances
✔ 100% bonus on the purchase of credits
✔ Excellent mobile interface

Negatives

✖ Too many models streaming in low-definition
✖ No way to search or filter for HD

One Final Word

I dragged ImLive a bit for their HD negligence, but I don't want you to get the wrong impression. It's a great site, and one I highly recommend. There are features this site offers that can't be found anywhere else, and many of the models are actually streaming in HD. The site is fun, sexy, and very affordable. When you're hunting around for a premier site on which to enjoy hot gay cam sex, this is one of the sites you really have to try out.
