I've expressed my distaste for the Ohmibod here and elsewhere, but recently a favorite performer got all zen and described the device as a chance for his fans to get closer to him; to show their affection and excitement in a physical way that isn't possible by any other method. So I gave the issue another thought. I decided that part of my problem is that it involves rectal penetration, an activity that doesn't hold much interest for me and even makes me feel protective somehow.

Taking it another step, I envisioned the invention of a sleeve-like device my favorite models could wear that could move in ways that gave them pleasure. The intensity and movement would be controlled by tips. Would I be interested in trying it on willing models in private? Maybe. Probably. Hell yeah!

Take it for what it's worth. Quote

Thank you everyone that has provided their input, I did not think this article would see so much feedback let alone see it in a newsletter.

Since first starting this thread I have seen many more models start to use the device, it has become quite popular. Typically see about 20% or more of the models displaying the banner on the front page and many more that do not. Many times you can enter a room and unexpectedly see ass with a device sticking out of it. It brings pleasure to members and models, as well as generating an income for the models. Sadly, I am still not sold on the device but that is my own choosing.

I may be wrong but I think the popularity of this device has even reduce the monitoring of Flirt regulations/policies, do they exist anymore? I see so many rooms now that when you enter the model is naked, stroking, looking for tips to fuck his ass hard, all in open chat. My observance have also seen where this leads to rooms without the devices with the models naked in open chat, having partners in solo rooms, or performing sex acts in open chat. I guess if it is okay to bend the rules having a device it is okay without one as well.

Eh, who am I to say anything but a single member among so many. This must be what members are looking for. Thank you again for all the feedback and perhaps some day I will see what draws the attention with this device.


Twixel, you are not alone in not appreciating the benefits of the Ohmibod. I have no use for it and will almost certainly avoid any room advertising its usage. I may venture into one or two, but only if the model has not yet turned it on or inserted it.

Every contest day I see the main page covered with room thumbnails sporting the Ohmibod tag, and more often than not those rooms are also in the middle of a party chat. There may be a financial edge for those who use it, but part of what makes this site so much better than others is the opportunity to communicate with models on levels beyond the merely physical or sexual...and the Ohmibod-Party Chat combination makes that communication nearly impossible.

If a model wants to use the Ohmibod, that's fine. It's his choice, and I respect that. But PLEASE don't come into a room and suggest that the model get an Ohmibod. By this time, I'm sure the models that are inclined to get one would have done so, and those that are not have firmly decided against it. They don't need to be pressured into going along with a trend they disagree with. And members who don't care to see the Ohmibod in use don't need to see another model being urged to use it.

Hello Twixel ,

A month ago I have set my topic on "Ohmibod -is it worthy ?" . Just wanted to know what s the opinion of my usual customers about that . I was stubborn at first , i have to mention that , and i still agree that ohmibod is a step back overall .

I had mixed reactions to my topic but most of them told me I should get one .

I had guys who told me so straight and so cold that they don t give a fuck about the connection between the pvt connection and the customer who will fade away . A think that i was talking about and I was just right .
One said " I come here to jerk off" so yeah , it s better to get one .

I have noticed that I wasn t the only one who tried to fight the toy , be stubborn and use the old ways to make this job fun and secure(financially) all along .

The thing is that the financial security has disappeared and very soon all the fun was gone .

I finally got my ohmibod , the connections are gone , i have almost no regulars (what i called regulars) . They come , tip , and go . They have no clue who I am , I have no clue who they are .

The financial security is back and to make it fun from here it s not hard at all . I can stil talk to people , I can still have fun , even though they are not always the same guys every day in my room as it used to be before.

The conclusion is that we are here for a reason , and before all , we have to think about ourselves .

You don t get naked on the cam to earn what you would earn as a waiter or bartender or any other low paid job . You do this compromise and take some risks for something worthy . We need to earn well , otherwise there s no reason to do it anymore .

As for other options , you can still go private with the model and have any kind of show you wish .

The customers are making the rules and we can t stand against them . I would prefer the old ways .

The problem is that this ohmibod is making a huge difference . Without it or a huge loyal fanbase you better find another job .

A lot of the comments here are trying to be philosophic, but this website is not a bastion of philosophy. It is fantasy sex. What difference does it make whether today's customers tip to see someone flop around to a vibrator, tip to see another reveal the details of his anus (yesterday's "how much to see asshole?"), tip someone else to watch him jerk and cum, or take someone private to fulfill fantasy instructions? Things change, including the market for porn and fantasy sex boys. If you don't want to stick a wired vibrator in your butt, you may be out-performed by some other boys who do. But guess what, you were sooner or later going to be out-performed by the next crop of younger, cuter butts and cocks anyway. And while you may be cuter than the butt vibrator boys, they are simply adapting and doing what is necessary to get more of the money you used to get. Quote

The site is more than just fantasy sex, but then again my opinion differs from many others and I have alluded that each have their own as you do.

Seeing your response tells me you enjoy seeing this product used by models, are you willing to share what you like about it or is your attraction? I want to know what makes it exciting to the member/viewer (as I know many are there for the free show, as seen by the fact there are many that ask if a model will be doing a ohmibod show).

Please share more.

Hey guys, I just wanted to confirm that the OhMiBod Freestyle :G is the one the males are all using and is compatible with F4F? I tried to find the other thread about it and well.....here I am posting here lol. Sorry to go off topic. I just noticed that the guys with the OhMiBod toys are getting all the traffic and fun. :/ Quote

so guys when u vote for model with OHMIBOD they have same emotions like u tipped? because sounds same like when u tip? Quote

This toy seems to have found its place on the site. Sort of think it is up each performer to see if it is really worth it. One thing should always stand true and that is a true fan of the performer will not dessert him if he has the toy, but reveal to that performer that the toy is not the be all end all that makes the site worth visiting. Quote

for me inspector gadget never was sexy. when i see someone have wi-fi and bloototh in asshole thats looks like really fuc*ng inspector G. LOL

Fortunately, models don't use Ohmibod all the time they're online. I'll go private or visit a room and tip the performer when it's not in use, but exit when it is. That way I can support what I like and ignore the other. Same as always.

I still have two favs who have not joined the Ohmibod craze and I love them extra for it. Bucking the trend is so sexy!

That's a bit discouraging for cam models that are trying really hard to keep up with the competition. OhMiBod models get a higher listing on the site, more traffic to their rooms, so we have to pay approx $100 for the vibrator to keep up with the pack. Not to mention the hassle of trying to get it to work right and the tech glitches. I'm neutral on using it but please don't penalize the models that are just trying to keep up so they don't fall off the map. :: two cents :: Quote

I'm sorry, but I must agree with KFinches on this. I, too, visit models who use the Ohmibod, but only when they are NOT using it. I understand the need to be competitive, but there WAS a time before the Ohmibod when models and members interacted without it.

At best, the Ohmibod is a temporary thing, and it likely only brings in an ever-shifting pool of members who only visit long enough to drop some tips and possibly never return (unless the vibrator is in use again). It is no substitute for the supportive relationships that models and members form with each other--that keep the members returning to visit the models and continuing to contribute tips to them--that are key to the longevity and success of models on F4F.

I only have a little something to say...
This site was founded with the intention of offering specialized
services with high quality friendly performers for a good quality clientele...
This is no longer true because the models here are now found all over the
internet in several other sites in unison... and there is nothing special
about that anymore....except may be the insane unhealthy and barbaric OHMIBOD
and similar devices found all over the net...
OHMIBOD is not adding to this site or any other because the tippers
are here just for the moment and will move on to some other poor sucker willing
to risk his/her health for a few lousy tips...
I REPEAT: before you engage in the use of these devices make sure you read
the reviews of specialists internal medicine,urology and gastroenterology!!!
Consult a good specialized doctor please!!!
The adult toys industry is a close to a billion euros a year
industry and just like the tobacco companies will never disclose any dangers
related to these products....
To those that choose to use them good luck and best wishes and remember
all the clothes,swimming pools,new cars,parties and paid rent when you are told
you have severe prostatitis or colon cancer....
This is a very dangerous fad and performers lives are at stake here...

Personally, I don't care at all for this toy and steer clear of a room when its in use. Models will choose whether to use it just like us members as always decide whether or not to visit a particular room. A few models I know use it for certain shows but it is only part of their show and not in use all the time, thankfully, so I can still visit. I just hope what LP says isn't something that will surface down the road, unintended side effects later in life from using this thing.

people tip for it more) and think they have some interactive with model(like he fuck him/her) but this stuff work of F4F same like u tip 10 ro 100000 Sound identical. but model when get more start scream like get 3 huge cock in his ass. think about that.

I have been raised by a poor family . My parents main fight reason was that from their two c*ildren i was the one who was from another father . Even though oficially we were both theirs , I was the main reason for violence , insults and all other problems . I had a different treatment in my family , I have felt no love , no compassion or normal treatment during my c*ildhood . Despite all that i have got myself a degree of the most prestigious economic academy in my home country . In my country , without the right support and connections , that is making no use at all . I had no job , no future , i was desperate .

When i got the chance to run from all that and got this job , i didn t hesitate , I have left all that for a different country on my own , alone in a big world , unprepared .

It took me years and i still didn t get over of all trauma from my c*ildhood . It took me years to realise that i m not that stupid , that i am good for something , that i could bring a smile to someone s face in this world and to realize that someone out there sees something more in me other than a loser . And yes , today i know i am a lot better than I always thought I was and told I am .

I have lived a free life since then , I have lived in a luxury called freedom and depending on myself , my ideas and my thoughts about me only . I tried and succeded to keep close to myself only the people who can bring a positive vibe in my life and could help me get a better version of myself .

I don t know if I would ever get over the trauma , the things I ve heard and saw and no other c*ild should hear , see or feel . I can only hope .

After years of getting to develop and get to know more about myself with no negative influence whatsoever , i have started to build for the future .

Not long ago I thought i am prepared to invest everything i have earned in a business . I have lost all I had trying to start a business .

Facing a new start , after a long time of absence from this job , I realised that things changed a lot . For about 3 months or a little more , it was a struggle , i was loaning money from friends because this job wasn t enough to pay my bills and the pressure was growing higher with every day . I knew that the ohmibod is ruling this website and i was so stubborn against it , tried to make it work using all the best I could offer to beat that . At some point I just thought that my time has passed , that there s no way i could save myself from all that . It was a drama , and after the biggest failure of my life , after coming back to flirt and seeing there s no one there for me , that i can t be what i once used to be , I was about to give up . When i say give up , i mean , give up my life . All i was seeing in front of me were high bridges and high buildings where I could jump from to make it easier and short .

One day I stopped for a minute and thought . Things are never easy , at least for me nothing have been ever easy in this life , why would I give up ? I am a man , I am not the loser everyone thought I am .
I am capable of finding a solution . And yes , at that point I got the ohmibod . Everything has changed , maybe someone reading my posts thought I have chosed the luxury .

No , I chose to live .

And if there s a choice between getting back to the old version of mine and colon cancer .

Bring that cancer ON !!

Who knows me , knows I am a very honest guy and I dont make up drama , it is real .

I don t like to talk on behalf of other models , but i am pretty sure there are some similar stories out there concerning this change .

And I am telling u that with the hope that maybe you guys will stop judge this thing so much and remember what I have said before :

DEEP DOWN INSIDE ME , I AM STILL THAT GUY (before and against ohmibod) !!

Kyler once again an awesome posting. Think many of those long time members get what you are saying. You strength comes from within and yes if that toy helps go for it. Many of us members realize that the toy is for the short term whereas the connection between performer and member will always be for the long term.

Quote

Kyler T,
I don't know you but, after reading your posts, please let me say that you are a person of great courage and inner strength. Many would have not survived what you experienced. You are a survivor.
May your future full of happiness and success.
Best regards,
