If you've ever browsed a cam site and found yourself wondering what certain tags mean, you are not alone. With hundreds of categories and abbreviations floating around, it can be hard to decode all the short forms - especially if you're new to live cams. This guide is here to help you understand some of the most common (and confusing) cam model tags so you can find exactly what you're looking for, faster.
If you're into fetish play, flirtatious energy, or something more intense, knowing what tags like JOI or SPH stand for will completely change how you explore shows. It's a smart move to learn the lingo.
ATM (Ass to Mouth)
A hardcore tag that refers to performers who play with anal toys or penetration and then immediately engage orally. It's a niche but popular request in fetish friendly rooms.
BBC (Big Black Cock)
This tag often shows up on interracial cam streams or fantasy driven roleplay where the model engages with this theme. It's usually used in show titles or dirty talk for a specific vibe.
BBW (Big Beautiful Woman)
One of the most celebrated body positive tags. BBW cam girls are typically curvy, confident, and unfiltered - with a die hard fan bases and passionate shows.
CEI (Cum Eating Instruction)
A dom oriented tag where the performer gives verbal direction, usually in JOI style shows. It's about dominance, control, and pushing the limits verbally.
CFNM (Clothed Female, Naked Male)
This is a fantasy driven category where women stay clothed while men strip or perform. It flips the usual script and is often paired with JOI or SPH themes.
C2C (Cam to Cam)
Short for "Cam to Cam." If a model has this tag, they're open to watching your cam while you watch theirs - perfect for interactive play. Some require tips to activate the feature.
DP (Double Penetration)
This tag can mean toy based double penetration, or sometimes a visual fantasy description. It's typically used in hardcore or advanced performer shows.
FTM (Female to Male)
Used by trans male performers. Shows can range from sensual solo content to fetish friendly streams. Often includes unique body combinations that draw curious and respectful viewers.
JOI (Jerk Off Instruction)
Extremely popular in both dominant and sensual rooms. JOI performers give step by step verbal instructions on how to please yourself - often paired with countdowns or roleplay.
MILF (Mom I'd Like to Fuck)
Not just about age - MILFs are confident, sexually experienced performers who often play into mature fantasies. This tag is one of the most searched across all cam platforms.
PVT / PVTS (Private Shows)
If you see this tag, it means the performer does one on one shows where you can request specific actions or vibes. Read our post on how to find the right cam model if you're new to private rooms.
SPH (Small Penis Humiliation)
A popular fetish tag where the model playfully (or harshly) humiliates the viewer's size. It's more common than you'd expect and often blends with CEI or JOI shows.
OhMiBod / Lovense / Hush
These are brand names of interactive sex toys that respond to token tips. If you see them in a tag, you know the model's toy is synced live. The result? A super reactive, rewarding cam experience.
POV (Point of View)
This tag is used when the model sets up their cam or content to simulate your perspective. It's intimate and immersive - often used in dirty talk, JOI, or fantasy setups.
TV / TS / Trans / FTM
These are trans related tags, and each one signals something specific: TS (Transsexual), TV (Transvestite), FTM (Female to Male). If you're curious about trans cam models, tags like these help you explore respectfully.
VRChat, VSeeface, VNYan, OperationLoveCraftFallendoll
These tags point to animated or VTuber style cam rooms. The model appears as a 3D or anime style avatar using motion capture tools. Wildly creative and growing fast in popularity.
