SecretFriends Review - Fetish Live Shows and Interactive Games
SecretFriends boasts to offer over 11000 webcam models, 4000-plus live recordings, 15000-plus premium videos, and over 15000 free clips. Also, it's not very secret. While the site may have thousands of registered models, you are more likely to find a 100 or so online at a time. That said, SecretFriends is still bursting at the virtual seams with fetish live cam action and a huge array of other viewing options. The models here cover all kinds of tastes and kink, so you are sure to feed your fetish fantasies, one way or another.
Use the Filters option in the top menu bar to look for BDSM, Fetish, Kinky, Fishnets, Submissive, or whatever else you are into. At least the options are in alphabetical order, so a quick scan is all you need. The site also regularly offers special shows and events which will be advertised right at the top of the page and down the right-hand side of the main galleries.
SecretFriends has a nifty News section for keeping abreast with all the site's shows, special offers, promotions, and the like. This is a very busy page that we recommend checking regularly. The same goes for Events, for a long list of upcoming and mostly free shows.

The Fetish Models
SecretFriends' models hail from all over the world, many being from Europe and South America. Those listing themselves in the various fetish categories could be from anywhere, so prepare for some alluring accents to go along with those handcuffs. If you fancy a specific type of fetish femme fatale, use the Filters to access the Advanced Search to apply options like Origin, Body Features, even Zodiac, if you're into star-crossed Sadomasochism.
Every model has a profile and show schedule under their live chat room, as well as pictures and recordings. Here you can find out more about your prospective dom or submissive, and even leave comments and questions. You can follow any model you like to receive email notifications when she comes online. Models can also be reached by private and text message, and you can send her your own saucy pictures, if you dare, all free of charge.
SecretFriends Feature Highlights
You can play Games in a virtual Vegas-style hall to win credits or shows. The daily pot balance that is up for grabs is displayed at the top. Take your cha-ching chances at scratching cards, landing a kingly flush, or yanking the lever. The games add an additionally entertaining twist to this lively site.
Don't miss the site's Portal for XXX videos, many of which cover an array of fetishes. Look out for rope-bound babes, pegged private parts, suction cups, and machines, to name but a few. A simple search for 'fetish', for example, will give you around 200 relevant results. Be sure to use the search bar directly above the videos gallery, and not the one at the top of the page.
SecretFriends recently introduced Make it Rain, their brand new interactive toys feature. Groundbreaking in the live cam chat world, we now have the ability to watch up to 5 live models using interactive toys on one single page. This new feature is so named because viewers get to 'make it rain' with however many credits they want to shower onto each of their performers, and, once done, bask in their bedroom boogies.
Something that only SecretFriends seem to be doing - for now - is their Selfie feature. In a 1on1 chat, members can exchange selfies with their host which only they and the model can see. This costs 1 credit ($1.00) per photo.
SecretFriends rewards their models who receive the highest tips daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. These models are awarded bonuses, but the important bit here is that so are the generous members who tipped them. Your favorite fetish cam performers will adore you and you will win site credits to spoil yourselves even more.
Live XXX TV is offered 24/7 and free to members. This feature can be found on the right-hand side of the main gallery within a mauve frame stating Live XXX TV. These live broadcasts are not necessarily always fetish-fulfilling, but still definitely satisfying.
As mentioned earlier, special events, offers, and the like are displayed down the right-hand side of the main galleries. Each is color-coded, for example, orange is Latest News, and blue is Tip of the Day. Be sure to look out for these so you don't miss any exciting honkytonk on the horizon.
Other great features:
- Exclusive chat rooms for verified members only

Getting Started
To get anywhere or do anything on this banging chat site, you need to register your 100% free account. Until you do, every cam room you pop into will remind you while blurring out the delightful details you came to see. Thankfully, setting up your account is an easy 3-steps and no personal information is need, so SecretFriends looks after our all-important anonymity. And, for your 2 minutes of effort here, SecretFriends will thank you with 5 free site credits worth $5.00 to use towards your next fabulous fetish face-to-face session.
With your account, you can access all open chat rooms, shows, live broadcasts, videos, and the like, of which there are thousands, all in all. As a member, you can purchase premium 'snaps subscriptions' from your favorite models offering this feature. You can purchase a monthly or yearly subscription for access to a model's premium 'snaps' that give you a still life look into her private life. The Premium Snap feature is found in the models' bios.
Chat Show Types & Prices
The reason why sites like SecretFriends make at least some of the live action free is so that members like us can seek out the leather-clad, whip-wielding fetish fanatics we're after for our private pants party. So, we suggest you use this to your advantage before whipping out your cash and whipping off your clothes.
Free Chat
SecretFriends is a premium live cam and chat site, so models are meant to keep things cool and calm in their open rooms. So, expect to see plenty of temptation but with legs closed. Free chat is to show you who, and what, is on offer and lure you into going all the way. At least the site offers Whisper mode to hide your messages from everyone except yourself and the model. Turn this on using the toggle above the chat box inside any live room.
Private Chat
Initiating private 1on1 chat with any model is a click away via the bright green Go Privatebutton under any model's stream. Directly above that, with a small i for information symbol, you will see the model's credit a minute rate.
That said, 1on1 live chat sessions on SecretFriends cost an average $2.50 a minute with webcam to cam included. If you are feeling a bit penny-pinched, use the Brand New tab to see the site's latest additions who may offer their services for a lower $2.00 a minute average. Sadly, that is about as cheap as it gets.
VIP 1 on 1
This is for an exclusive exchange where no other members can sneak a peek into your finger-licking good show. The option costs 3 credits equal to $3.00 a minute by default, but this rate may be altered by the model, so this would be when to try some extra-sweet talking. In this mode the model can also hear you via the cam2cam feature, so long as you activate your microphone.
Premium Group Chat
This fun and friendly chat type involves models and a group of enthusiasts cheering them on. We say models, because the 'group' in group chat goes both ways - models may perform alone or with partners, for a lone viewer or an audience. The default cost for these premium group chat rooms is 1 credit equal to $1.00 a minute, making it a great money-saver. Any model can propose Group Chat at whim and members may enter and leave the show as they please.
Dates
No dinner and a movie needed, a date is a pre-paid VIP session with your chosen model. Simply use the Plan a date option in any model's profile page. Once you request a date, the credits are reserved in your account so you cannot use them elsewhere. When the model confirms, it is up to you to initiate the session from your account at the agreed time. If the model does not accept the date or fails to respond to your request, you will automatically be refunded.
Payment Methods
SecretFriends offer all of the most widely accepted payment options through a secure and encrypted payment platform, so your precious pennies and good name are protected. Payment methods offered may vary slightly based on your location, but the ones pictures below are standard.
On this site, 1 credit happens to be equal to $1.00, so tracking what's what is easy. Credits are sold in bundles between 10 to 560 a pop. You can opt to buy even bigger packages by contacting customer service and will have to pay for them by wire transfer.
SecretFriends accepts:
- Visa
- MasterCard
- Maestro
- iDEAL (Dutch)
- PayPal
- Ukash
- DinersClub
- JCB
- Discover
Customer Service
To the bottom left corner of any page, you will find an orange chat bubble. This opens the site's direct support messaging, though most of the time you won't find an actual agent online. The FAQ page is helpful, though not as detailed as you'd expect for such a busy site, but still addresses the main features. One important thing here is the Trouble Shooting section at the top of the page. Covered here is the big issue of a malfunctioning webcam with a link to test it.
Otherwise, it seems the only way to reach an actual human being is via SecretFriends' customer service email, which is given at the bottom of their FAQ page. Speaking of, . Anything else you need, you will have to email Cessi, the racy lady at the receiving end of customer support queries. To find the FAQ, and Cessi, head to the very bottom of any page, to the Generalsection.
Membership Benefits
Membership at SecretFriends extends to the free account every user must register in order to use the site. That is the long and short of membership here. For many users, the fact that there is no monthly fee to enjoy this live chat site's many offerings is a welcome thing. You only spend what you choose to via the credits you buy and blow. Your SecretFriends account if yours for life, for free.
SecretFriends on Mobile
SecretFriends' mobile site is responsive and supports all the best features of the main site. Using your mobile's touchscreen to pan lets you explore every nook and cranny of a chat room and model. Webcam to cam is available on mobile, but the quality and availability of audio really depends on your device and operating system.
Chat on the mobile site is cleverly located below the live cam stream, so it never obscures your view. An arrow at the top of whatever room you're in takes you back to the main gallery, should you want to change up cams.
Webcam Streaming Quality
SecretFriends used to highlight those models streaming in HD by this symbol on their cam snapshots. That seems to be gone now and we couldn't find any other kind of indicator as to a cam's streaming quality. This isn't that big a deal, though, because we have yet to find a live cam that isn't crystal clear. In fact, almost all models stream in minimum 720p hi-def.
If those two little letters mean that much to you, use the site's Filters to find the "HD" category.
Our Readers Have Asked:
How will my SecretFriends purchases appear on my credit card statement?
Charges from SecretFriends will appear on any type of billing statement as an innocuous name. It won't say, "the best fetish webcam site online" as a line item. And it won't say "SecretFriends" either.
What about promotions? Are there ever any?
SecretFriends is always bringing its members value-added extras, like bonus credits with every purchase, or additional days' access to the XXX Portal. Always check your messages (top right of the site when logged in), as SecretFriends will send you every little bit worth knowing. And, be a regular in the News and Events sections to keep on top of the latest offers and specials.
How do I stay anonymous on SecretFriends?
Well, this is easy. For starters, SecretFriends does not require any of your personal details to open your free account, and you only ever appear online under the nickname you give yourself, which can be as obscure as you make it. What's more, you can have up to 3 nicknames in your profile and choose whichever one you want to display at any time. You can add a birthdate to your profile, so, if you want, you can make yourself out to be a cranky 75-year old or robust 20-year-old, whatever is furthest from the truth. You can accept or block private messages from models via an on/off toggle. And, if you opt to make all your site purchases via PayPal or Ukash, you never need to give your credit card info, which is just another step towards full disguise.
Conclusion:
SecretFriends may have more registered models than you will actually find online, but this video chat site is nonetheless teeming with live action. The Fetish categories available switch up depending on the time of day, but you can always find at least 100 or so online across them all.
The fact that SecretFriends site credits are 1:1 - 1 credit = $1.00 - makes tracking your spending a no-brainer, and most private sessions, budget-friendly. The vast array of other viewing options, like the Portal and 24/7 TV, guarantee zero boredom and super satisfaction whenever you visit the site.
With a free account for live chat, videos, and fetish-friendly viewing options, SecretFriends is sure to be a repeat offender in your browser history.
