Apple announced the new iPad will come equipped with front and rear-facing cameras as well as FaceTime video chat capability.
That got us thinking about live porn chat service iP4Play, which has been serving up porn via FaceTime since August 2010.
While interactive video sex chats are nothing new, FaceTime brings portability and convenience — or, as the Apple site touts it: “Now your smile goes even further” — and the porn company claims it has tens of thousands users, with a 30% growth surge each month. The service costs $4 a minute for a live chat with a video vixen.
Cult of Mac: How do you think the new iPad will affect services like iP4Play?
Travis Falstad: We’re still the one and only commercial user of FaceTime across either the adult or mainstream world. The new iPad is the best form factor for FaceTime across the Apple product line.
Cult of Mac: Any plans for new services?
TF: We’ll be offering more girl/girl and introducing boy/girl shows for callers over the coming weeks. We are also working on mainstream services for paid FaceTime calls.
We’ve also running a contest called Miss FaceTime to find the first iP4Playmate.
CoM: Any backlash or comment from Apple about putting porn on a device that’s supposed to be “porn free?”
TF: They never said that the device would be porn free, just that the store would be.
We haven’t heard anything from Apple but suspect they welcome us helping to promote FaceTime.
We offer the ultimate in customer satisfaction and provide a truly memorable first (and ongoing) experience with FaceTime.

Unsurprising. The porn industry will always find a way to take advantage of new media and communication forms. Not that I’m against it in principle. I just don’t find it entertaining. But I do read romance novels, which can be as raunchy as any porn out there, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut.
read a great story about how romance novels, especially the more raunchy ones, are taking off on the iPad– because you don’t have to announce you are reading it by carrying around a book with a cheezy cover…
Think about it, people (not me of course) use Safari to view porn, does that mean Safari is porn?
That service should come with a warning
“Please remember, liquid damage is NOT covered under Apple Care”
Wow! … rear-facing camera and 30% growth surge. I’m excited already. But beware boys ‘n girls, they can record the video of you on their side.
I have friends who were reading romance on Palm devices back in 2004. It’s better than riding the subway with a bodice ripper cover to announce what your doing.
Articles like this one are the primary motivation for intelligent readers to spend less time on Cult of Mac. Can we please respect some “family values” for crying out loud, Miss Martinelli. Not everyone browses this site in complete privacy. I like a lot of articles here, which is why I keep coming back. But I shouldn’t have to lock the door to my computer room for fear my wife or children may walk up behind me.
I agree with you.
They should watch for the consequences of publishing this kind of news.
And Nicole.. thanks for promoting that site!
