Question: Where are all the kinky stories listed?

Answer: Unlike many erotic stories sites, like Nifty and others, GayTies does not have an erotic story library that you can browse. One story is displayed at a time, one chapter a day (for free members) on the home page, under "Kinksville." Also unlike Nifty where NEW stories display one chapter every 5 or 6 days, our chapters show one each day, every day so you don’t have to wait weeks to read a full story. (Paid members can read the full story immediately. Also, unlike Nifty, Kinksville stories have photos.

Paid members get a free Kinksville book download of about 150 pages, with a collection of full stories with photos. It’s a $19.95 value for FREE. Paid members can choose and book at the beginning of each month. Typically, for a one-month membership, you get one free book, for a 3 months membership you’ll get 3 free books, a $60 value. 6 months, 6 books, and so on.

GayTies has much more content. Unlike story sites, there is soooo much more to enjoy, the Photo Gallery (the largest categorized collection of male nude photos on the internet, Video Library, gay news, connecting and messaging with other members, and so on. And just a quick note about our videos, Free GayTies.com videos have NO stupid re-directs to pay sites, NO ugly or headless videos, NO dark or blurry videos, NO annoying product ads, NO silly female images, & NO waiting 5 seconds to see a video! Question: How do I change my password?
Answer: click on "Settings" then "Account". There you enter your new password twice.

Question: Why is GayTies so concerned about valid email addresses?
We don't allow bad emails because Google (and others) will tags GayTies as a spammer when it sends too many undeliverable emails. More than that, your email may be valid, but if your email box is full or GayTies emails are not accepted, it is also not acceptable. Your box must be working and receive our emails to be valid.

HOWEVER... GayTies sends out very few emails. We don't want to bother our members with a lot of junk. So do not worry. about us spasming crap. We don't do that.

Questions: I really LOVE those special videos that are filmed by GayTies.com such as the "Underwear model, and the "Hypnotized Detailer." Where is the full list? I can't tell you why, but these give me such a bone!

Answer: Thank you. Yes, they are THE favorite videos on GayTies. The full list of GayTies filmed videos is available to PAID members only. Just become (or already be) a Paid member and request the full library list.

Questions: I have only a 3.8 star rating. Why is that? How do I get a higher rating?

Answer: Great question. Other members give you a star rating based on your photos (both profile photo and album photos) and your profile. I looked at your profile and photo. Your profile photo is just as bad photo, It's dark and shows only your shoulder. We do fix photos, but a bad photo is just that. You don't have to show your face, and if you don't want to, at least upload a photo showing you from the neck down. Bare-chested seem to get the highest ratings. Also, your profile info is nearly all blank. Tell us about you, that's a big help. Also, you have no photo album. Add one and upload some photos in it. In short, those who rate the highest have A complete profile, a sharp, well-lite face photo, and some naked photos in their album, or at least some great underwear shots. OK? Buddy?

Questions: I am blocked from seeing videos because it says my email is bad. I've been using this email address for a long time, why are you blocking me now?

Answer: We installed a new program that checks email addresses periodically. And if a member's email is no longer valid, it will change your status to "Bad Email." and you will not be able to see videos until it is updated. We have to update it for you. Send your new email to GayTies@gmail.com and include your user ID. Allow 12 hours for a response.

Question: Why do I need a valid email if just want to see videos?

Answer: GayTies staff send out special notices, and so do members to say "Hi," or whatever. If the email address is bad, Google thinks it's spam. We can get in trouble for that.

Question: What if I don't want to receive emails?

Answer: This is easy. Go to "Settings" then "Notification" and down to where it mentions "weekly notification" - the bottom one- and change "Yes" to "No." This will stop almost all emails.

Question: Why can't I see naked photos of other members in their photo albums?

Answer: You have to be a Paid member to see the nude photos of members, as a Regular or Basic member, you can only see the non-X-rated photos.

Question: I'm new here, what's the best way to see the videos?

Answer: Click on "Categories" and scroll down to the subject matter you like.

Question: I feel uncomfortable putting my email address on any adult site. I feel site owners trade and sell email addresses.

Answer: I am glad you raised the question. We are not a large corporation that owns a lot of sites and manipulates you to migrate from one to the other. Those sites or groups of sites do throw you all over the internet and can give you a lot of spam and trick you into paying on different sister sites. GayTies does not.

Gayties.com is owned by 3 guys who only work on, and promote only this one site. We never share your email address; we never manipulate you or redirect you to other websites. Never. We value your visitors here. We provide personal customer service. We keep you safe. That is our promise!

And, BTW, what other site responds to your questions (usually) in 12 hours? This makes GayTies independent and personal and unique.

Question: I notice other gay websites feature all very handsome young men. I think they could all be models. Why doesn't GayTies do that? No offense, but GayTies shows everyone.

Answer: LOL. Do you think all those "handsome men" are real members? Those sites have the same variety of members we have, except they feature ONLY the male mode images. Worst, most of those people are not real members. They are made up of profiles. And the photo comes from the internet. Even worst, if you write to those "models," you either get no response or their system will send you back a form email as if they are real. Worst, that means if you are not a "male model type person, you will never be featured there.

Gay Ties does not allow phony profiles or phony profile photos. We only want real members. If you suspect a phony photo, please report it.

Question: I created a photo album. and was going to upload photos into it the next day, but when I logged in the next day, the album was gone. What happened?

Answer: OK, when you create an album, add at least one photo to it. That will save it. Empty albums (albums with no photos ) are deleted each night. You can always add additional photos wherever you want, but whenever you create a new album, just add the first photo right away to save it.

Question: I uploaded a profile photo to get the free upgrade, but my photo was deleted. Why?

Answer: I just checked your account. The photo you uploaded was of you and someone else. Unless you indicate that you are joining as a couple, (monogamous or open relationship) you can show only you in the profile photo.

Question: Why do you have bonus video and photo albums that I cannot see as a regular member? That’s not fair.

Answer: My friend, do you see any commercial ads? Any annoying pop-ups to buy stuff? And links to click on that take you to other sites to buy their stuff? No, you don’t. We are a self-sustaining website. All staff are volunteers. No one gets paid. But we have bills to pay and we constantly pay programmers to make improvements, many you don’t even see, but they help the site work better and give it more content. So we do have bills to pay, continuously.

We greatly appreciate all the support we get from guys buying Premium Membership and Sponsoring Memberships. We want to reward them by giving them special benefits and privileges. Giving them additional videos and photos to view is just 2 special benefits, there are many more. Sorry, this sounds like a sales pitch, but it’s the truth.

Question: Why do you make it so hard for people to join? Everywhere else you put in an email address, ANY email address, and bingo, you’re a member. Here your system would not ever accept the first 2 addresses I put it. Don’t you want more members?

Answer: I just checked out your info. Those first 2 email addresses you tried to use were temporary, not real addresses, so those were blocked. And, yes, we do want more members, but we want real members that other people can interact with if they chose.

Question: Why did you reject my profile photos? OK, so they were from the internet, but what do you care if they are not me?

Answer: It all comes down to what kind of a website one wants. We want real people, with real photos. If you want to meet other guys in your area or to chat online, don’t you want them to be real? Many of our members like the fact that we screen people before they join, just to make sure they are real. If you are only interested in our videos and photos, and not into chatting or meeting other people, just do the minimum profile, as long as you are real, you don't have to give away any family secrets.

Also, keep in mind that if you choose to upload a photo, you do not have to show your face. Furthermore, you don’t have to upload a photo at all. With no photo, you stay a regular member, but you can still view 80% of the web content and chat, etc. And finally, you can pay for an upgrade and then you do not need a photo at all, AND you get to view everything. So you do have choices.
