In addition, Gay.de offers the opportunity to upload up to 1000 photos free of charge, so that each user can, in the truest sense of the word, get an accurate picture of the other. In addition to messages, video chat via cam, the forum and, for quick real-life meetings, the area search with Sexradar are available to make contact.

What is Gay.de about?

Gay.de has adopted the motto “Quality instead of quantity”. Sex meetings and gay dating are the focus here, but non-sexual contacts are not excluded either.

Partnerboerse's services include profile searches based on specific criteria, an online chat that also has special video chat rooms, an anonymous and free SMS service and the "speed dating" function, which is intended to make single flirting easier.

Here members can view and rate other users' pictures. If there is a match, the nicknames will be announced to each other. In addition, Gay.de offers a forum and interest groups for exchange and networking with other members. The portal also includes a news blog, a gay encyclopedia and an event gallery with many photos of events in the gay community.

Like other free dating sites, this dating site also offers an unlimited, free basic membership. Viewing all profiles, the search function, uploading photos, regular chatting, the messenger, the forum and the groups can be used free of charge. Members with a basic account can also send up to 10 SMS per day for free and use the speed dating function up to 100 times per week.

Members with a paid premium membership also have access to video chat and an advanced profile search. You can write pin board posts, view and upload FSK 18 photos, use a route planner and enjoy unlimited speed dating and at least 20 free text messages per day.

In order to guarantee the authenticity of their profile, every user can also subject their profile to an authenticity check, which is carried out using a generated code and a webcam recording.

Registration and profile creation

Registering here is done in no time. All you need to do is enter an email address and a freely selectable nickname and password. Registration via Facebook is also available.

Afterwards, all further information can be created in the profile and here you can really store a lot of information and create a very detailed profile description. In addition to the usual basic information, you can write your individual self-description in a long free text and mention your hobbies, interests and fantasies.

Of course, you can also upload numerous photos. Public and private photo and video galleries are available, which can only be shown to selected members.

Finally, informative profile statistics are available, which you can use to get an idea of ​​who has visited your profile and may be interested in it.

Who is Gay.de suitable for?

As the name clearly states, this special dating site is primarily suitable for homosexual men, women, couples as well as bisexuals and transgender people. The focus on this target group is consistent and successful.

In addition, the membership structure of this gay community is very heterogeneous and includes members with a wide variety of interests and preferences. When it comes to online dating, people are usually looking for real sex dates and sex meetings - whether as ONS or living out special fantasies and inclinations. The advertisers often present themselves very revealingly in their profiles.

But if you take a little time to look through member profiles, you'll also find users who are looking for serious relationships. Building friendships within the scene is also not uncommon on this platform. If you have any questions, problems or need to talk, you can exchange ideas actively in the forum.

Functions & Features

As already mentioned, members have the opportunity to create extensive photo and video galleries in order to present themselves visually. This is also often used. In order to view FSK18 photos and videos as well as private galleries of other members, age verification via webcam and a premium membership are required in advance.

Online chat allows you to stay in direct contact with gays in various channels. You can also activate your webcam to communicate with other users “face to face”. However, private video channels are only available with a paid membership.

The range of functions is then expanded to include a lively forum, an informative gay magazine with many current LGBT topics, personal ads for spontaneous meetings, photo competitions and a sex lexicon.
