Today in things nobody in their right mind would ever want to do: Finding your porn doppelganger on a webcam porn site.
Thanks to the magic of facial recognition technology, sex search engine Megacams is making it possible to fulfill your weirdest dreams. When you upload a portrait of yourself or anyone else, it processes the image and looks for webcam performers that look like the person in the photo.
The website uses a database of over 180,000 performers by combining live streaming sites like Chaturbate, Bongacams and LiveJasmin, so thereâs a big chance there might be a match out there.
I tried it by uploading this picture of my face:

After a few minutes I got an email that lead me to a page containing nine webcam profiles of people that sometimes didnât look like me at all, and sometimes were pretty close:

This guy was a 41% match. Great beard, too.

And this was a 39 percent match.
Itâs not far off, but itâs not exactly mind-blowing either. Letâs try it again with a picture of our CEO Boris:

This turned out to be a 38 percent match:

Iâm sorry boss â I donât know how to feel about this.
Letâs try with a random picture you get when you google âmodelâ.

This turned out to be a 46 percent match:

And a 36 percent match:

Okay, so female pictures turn out to have way better matches. That makes sense, because there are less male models to pick from.
When you upload a picture, Megacams promises to immediately delete it from their servers after itâs done processing.
So go ahead and try it out for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments.
