DirtyRoulette

Depending on where they were live, how they were raised, and how culture influenced them, people might have a problem discussing doing “dirty things” in public. Of course, behind closed doors around trusted friends, some people love talking about their sex lives or even more scandalous, their deepest fantasies.

Even so, a lot of people still have a bit of a hangup when it comes to talking about what makes them horny. However, there are two places that it seems like anyone seems comfortable conversing about sex or even being sexy with complete strangers: adult chatrooms, and more recently nudity-friendly cam sharing sites.

Dozens, maybe even hundreds, have popped up all over the net, which might make you think has saturated the web, and you would be right. But since it has been around for a while, claims to be the fastest-growing, and multiple reviews from sites like The Porn Dude, we think Dirty Roulette is worth a look.

A Website Which Rode A Wave At The Right Time

Despite the economic slump caused by the Great Recession, there were a lot of great things coming out when it came to hardware and the internet. Smartphones were becoming affordable, wifi was available almost everywhere, and nearly everyone had high-speed internet.

All of that, along with the development of miniaturized, high-quality cameras were being incorporated into mobile phones, laptops, and computer monitors, led to a new trend in internet usage. With all of this technology cheap and literally in the hands of the user, web developers started producing websites and apps to chat with people in real-time.

And with the internet being the internet, any new innovation which has not been driven by porn is soon taken over by pornographers. One of the first web platforms to come out at this time was Dirty Roulette, which was published in the middle of '10. At first, it was not too impressive but was progressively tweaked for about half a year.

Still, the site looked pretty basic and had only the minimum number of features that a free-to-use sex cam service should have. Further, the layout does not exactly scream advanced or engaging design, plus there were some severe unforeseen issues when it came to the user experience.

Fortunately, Dirt Roulette got a massive number of changes half a decade after launch, including a private messaging system, new methods to advertise the site, among other things. They claim to be one of the top websites of its type on the net, and with all of these improvements with an Alexa rank of about 43,000, they are probably right.

The New Dirty Roulette Look: Sporty And Efficient

You might not think that different shades of grey would look good on a cam2cam site, but in this case, they work quite well. The use of different shades of this color usually provides good contrast no matter how high or low the lighting that the other cammer is using.

Further, this use of color makes it easier on the eyes when it comes to interacting with text and icons, which are usually an off-white color or red hue. Other colors are used in the tutorial section and clash well with the white background. But the predominant use of the grey-white-reddish scheme is consistent and pleasing.

The Concept Is A Spin On A Now Common Kind Of Sex Site

To be honest, this platform is hardly groundbreaking when it comes to its concept. But given the fact that it was one of the first good random sex cam sites, we will not hold that against them. The basic idea is simple.

Dirty Roulette partners you with entire anonymous sex cams for free. Whether or not you have an account, discretion is truly guaranteed since, unlike other cam platforms, Dirty Roulette does not collect your personal data.

So there is no need to have a credit card or worry about getting a VPN to protect your privacy. All you need is a net-connecting device, a reliable ISP, and a functional webcam.

With that setup, you enter the site either as a guest or a signed member. Then just press start, and you will immediately be connected to someone who is just as horny as you. Just be sure to allow the site to be able to access your camera and microphone.

According to the site, all kinds of people are active here and include “straight, lesbian, gay or any other type of live sex cams.” They say that they have members who range between being 18+ up to middle age and even older.

Every person has there own tastes, and since the default setting is to randomly pair you with other users, you can switch between cammers with the click of a button. All you have to do is press Next until you find the user you want to cam with.

Once you have been 'partnered,' you can chat with them via text or by chatting. Some people we have found do not do much talking but jump into the virtual sex right away.

The Mechanics Are Fairly Simple But Comprehensive

We already described the basics, but there is a little more to this site worth covering. With such a massive user base, there are people who pop into the chat from all over the world. So, if you have an ethnic preference or want to chat with people who (likely) speak the same language as you, you can sort results by location.

Although we do not know how well it works between all languages, Dirty Roulette does have an automatic translation program installed.

Like those who have signed up, free users can spice up the chat with emojis and other fun graphics, just like the best chat rooms. Though it is probably going to negatively affect your experience, you can toggle between having your camera, microphone, and receiving audio on or off.

As a member, you can create a custom profile that includes an introductory message which will pop up in the chat as soon as you connect with someone. You can also post to your profile your preferred language, gender identity, and list a number of things you are interested in.

These things include tags like Make Friends, Sex, Hookup, Dating, and Love. Along with that, you can set your profile to filter for people who have a separate list of tags that you can customize.

Lastly, we cannot promise anything, but if you take advantage of all of these features and get your account verified, you might not only collect a ton of 'likes' from other users but meet some people IRL.

How The Actual User Experience Is

Just like mainstream and non-erotic experimental social media platforms, chat services like this one can evolve into something completely different than what they were intended to be.

If you want a really good example of this, read our article on Chatroulette. To sum up, it appears it was supposed to be the live chat version of Facebook, but instead ended up being a platform for people to exhibit their naked bodies.

It was almost shut down for being a means of potentially exposing children to porn, but for the details on that, see the full article. Moving on, this accidental sex site set a standard and gave web developers an idea of what to expect when making their own live sex chat platform.

One of the things which became evident very quickly as Chatroulette evolved was that guys are horny – gays in particular.

We bring this up because websites like these, or at least those which place emphasis on webcasting rather than chatting, almost always have more male than female members. Consequently, if you are randomly sorting through other users without filtering, you are going to see a lot of male members.

And usually just that.

For some reason, the ladies on this site do not mind sitting on a bed in lingerie, showing there faces. Most guys, however, only broadcast their naked torsos and erect c*cks. And while it is not universally true, the women tend to be a bit more talkative, too.

Fortunately, there are filter tools that allow you to select if you want to see men, women, or couples. There is even a separate button next to the play and stop buttons labeled GIRLS, which we think was to cater to the majority male audience.

Getting An Account Is Fast And Free

You do not need an account, but as we have already pointed out, there are some benefits to getting one. If you want to get the full user experience, all you need to do is tap on the Join button in the upper left corner, and go through the usual short and sweet email verification process.

Alternatively, you can log in using an existing Google account. Whichever you chose, the whole process should not take more than a couple of minutes.

The Mobile Design Is Excellent But Has A Fatal Flaw

According to them, Dirty Roulette is one of the only cam platforms which allows you to connect for free on mobile devices. Since we have reviewed quite a few cam2cam platforms, that sounds like an exaggeration, it is nice that they are mobile-friendly.

Surfing this site on handhelds is just as much fun as on desktop machines. The site is technically compatible with all brands of web-compatible machines; you will not be able to use all of the features.

Right now, only Android devices are the only mobile machines which let the member use all of the chat options. So, if you prefer to use Samsung or Apple devices, we suggest using your desktop.

There Social Media Platforms Are So-so

Besides being optimized for mobile devices, another thing we think that every sex-centered platform should have some kind of presence of social media. After all, not only is it a good way to keep the users updated with what is happening, which is especially important when a page is down for maintenance.

And from a business standpoint, it is a great way to advertise, not only give your users the chance to exhibit themselves for everyone's erotic delight.

Dirty Roulette does have a Facebook page that has some useful information, but most posts are memes, both sex-related and non-raunchy humor. Their Twitter feed is different by comparison since there are far more regular posts, including articles about online dating, cybersecurity, and other tech-related topics.

Or at least they used to. Ever since the grand redesign, Dirty Roulette has made any fresh posts on Twitter, so there is not much of a point in following them on that platform.

What Has Been Designed Crafted

When it comes to all the necessities that a free, amateur adult camming site should have, Dirty Roulette has all of them.

Guests can use all of the chat features for free, and with the profile options, there is an incentive to get a free account. The information you can add to your profile is more comprehensive than similar sites, and the auto-intro message is pretty cool.

There are not any ads you need to worry about, and there are not any redirect issues either.

Since there are a lot of guys on this platform, it is great that they include some basic filter features. Some of the users can be a bit flaky sometimes, especially if you do not pull your bits out right away. But the best of all, this site provides such an excellent experience it has over 2.3 million users waiting to chat with you.

Persistent Problems And Simple Solutions

Since most people surf the web on their phones, and a majority of them do not use Android products, th web designers need to update the mobile version.

Though it is not a major problem, we think that it would help them grow even faster if the webmasters started posting on Twitter. Their old shares used to be great, and since Twitter is okay with nudity, they could post some more risque content to draw in more users.

Besides, a lot of people would kill to have 1,044 Twitter followers, and that is an easy following to grow.

Do We Think You Have A Good Cam Experience?

Just because a website is on the older side does not mean that it cannot keep up with the new competition. Dirty Roulette not only has set a standard in the world of adult, amateur camming has ironed out some of the issues, and added a few new features.

You might have to play around with the filter options and scroll through several users before you land on the right one, but it is worth it. After all, there are millions of people to talk to, hundreds of thousands of which are online at any time.

The fact that not all of the tools are available on non-Microsoft mobile machines is a major problem for us, but not enough that we still feel comfortable endorsing this site and giving it four hands of five.
