Public vs Private Shows: Etiquette and Tips

When to tip in a public room, when to go private, and the simple etiquette that gets you a better show.

Public and private shows are two different experiences with two different sets of unwritten rules. A little etiquette goes a long way — and usually gets you a warmer, more attentive show.

Public rooms

Public rooms are group spaces funded by tips. Models often set “goals” the room unlocks together. The etiquette is simple: say hello, keep chat respectful, and tip if you’re enjoying it — tipping is what keeps the room free for everyone.

  • Don’t demand specific acts for free — that’s what private shows are for.
  • Tipping toward a goal is the friendliest way to participate.
  • Be patient in busy rooms; models can’t read every message.

Private shows

A private show is a paid one-on-one where the model performs for you alone, usually with cam2cam available. Because you’re paying by the minute or in tokens, it’s the place for specific requests — communicated politely.

  • Agree on what you’d like at the start so the time is well spent.
  • Respect stated boundaries — every model sets their own.
  • A tip at the end for a great show is appreciated, never required.

When to switch

Use public rooms to find a model you click with, then go private when you want focused, personal time. That two-step approach gives you the best of both formats.
