Cam menus are often two documents pretending to be one. The public list is what the open room will do for tips: a song, a spin, a piece of clothing, a short toy level. The private list is what they will do on a clock, sometimes including acts they will not do with a crowd watching. Asking the public list to perform the private list is the most common rude message on a busy site. It is also the easiest to avoid if you look at which list is open.
On Chaturbate and Stripchat both lists can be on screen at once. On LiveJasmin the private rate is the menu, and the public chat is not a discount aisle. Read the heading above the prices, not just the prices.
What a tease list is for
A tease list keeps a public show moving without turning it into the private. The items are chosen because they can happen in front of everyone: a pose, a count, a wheel, a light toy pattern. They are real offers. They are not a preview of a secret menu you are owed if you tip enough of them. Stacking five tease items does not add up to the act that is listed only under private.
The topic line often says which list is live. “Menu in full swing” and “tease until goal” are opposite sentences. How to read a topic line is the page that stops this mix-up. If the goal is “unlock private menu”, the public show is the advertisement, and the private menu is still behind the private button.
What a full list is for
A full list, sometimes called the private menu or the exclusive menu, is the price sheet for time you buy. It can include acts the model will not do in public, minimum minutes, and things they will not do at all. “Not on the menu” means not for sale. It does not mean “ask more charmingly”. Reading a model’s rules sits beside the menu for a reason. The menu is the yes. The rules are the no.
Prices on that list are the model’s prices, denominated in tokens or credits. Convert them before you feel rich. Cam tokens and how much shows cost are the conversion habit. A full menu item that looks like “40” can be forty tokens or forty minutes of tokens. The unit is the whole price.
How people blur the two
They tip a tease item and type the private act in the note. They spin a wheel hoping it lands on something the public list never contained. They offer “extra” in public chat for an act the model already moved behind the private button. All three are the same request: please break your own split. Models who wanted that split would not have written two lists.
Spin wheels are especially good at blurring, because a joke slice and a private act can sit on the same circle. Read the slices. If the act you want is not a slice, the wheel will not invent it.
Pick a list and stay on it
If you are in the public room, buy from the public list or watch. If you want the other list, open a private and confirm the item is still offered before the clock runs. How to make a request is the tone. The list is the content. Using the right list is most of the manners.
