Your Privacy
Is Important
  The Gay Cafe Secure Server protects your transactions with the highest levels of security. This server uses industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that is supported by every web browser today. SSL encrypts all of your personal information, including your credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be intercepted as the information travels over the Internet between your computer and this site.

The Gay Cafe has been in business since September 1995. I will never sell or share any information about you outside of this site. Rest assured that your privacy will always be respected.

Additionally, I am mindful in the wording of all of my e-mail and correspondence so as not to give away the true nature of The Cafe. The fact that it is a site primarily for gay men will not be obvious to anyone else reading your mail.
 
Professional
  While I understand that looks are not everything (I often get obsessed with them), there are at least two things about The Gay Cafe that makes it very unique in the eyes of my subscribers:

You will find no advertising, pop-ups, or similar marketing schemes here. All of the revenue to support this site comes from my subscribers. I know that I do not like visiting sites with loud banner ads and other schemes. I hope you will like having a break from all that so you can focus your online time doing something you enjoy.

All the efforts to layout the site, make it work, and respond to your needs is done in a friendly and professional manner. I'm proud to offer a service which is fast, reliable, easy-to-use and still full of exciting features.
 
Affordable
I often create free or reduced cost accounts for people who would really like to join The Cafe but cannot pay the usual rate.



Contact me if this is something that would benefit you.

(Click the smiley face.)
  At present there are five subscription plans. Each offers the same degree of access, only for a different period of time. I accept payment by major credit card, check, money order, PayPal, and even cash if you wish to pay by postal mail.

First Time Three Days US$5.00
Curiosity One Month US$14.95
Wanderer Three Months   US$27.95
ValueMan Six Months US$49.95
SugarDaddy   A Full Year US$89.95

For postal mail or fax forms, please click here instead.

The prices for renewal are the same, although the one month rate becomes US$9.95 instead of US$14.95. Most people choose one of the longer plans instead of paying month by month. Automatic renewal is set by default, but you can turn it off from the Members Login page with one click, or by sending me an e-mail or a fax saying to deactivate it for you.
 
Services Offered
Hot European Videos
Over 12,000 Photos

The Cafe Personals
IRC Chat Server

Nifty Search Engine
53,000 Erotic Stories
 

Most people join The Gay Cafe to look at all of the sexy photos, which I add to on a weekly basis. There are over 12,000 images that are exclusive to The Gay Cafe.

I have exclusive European films that in the Videos section which you're not going to find any place else! I add new clips on a regular basis, and each clip is available in three popular formats: QuickTime, RealMedia, and Windows Media Player. All of the videos are designed for streaming - so they work best if you have a fast Internet connection, but you can download them directly if you wish.

The Cafe Personal Ads are not your run-of-the-mill variety - people who meet each other there tend to stay together for life. Okay, well, maybe not all of them, but you will at least make some new friends.

The Gay Cafe has been home to the Nifty Erotic Stories Archive since 1996, supporting free public access to over 53,000 stories. Gay Cafe members enjoy unfettered high-speed access to the Nifty Archive with their username and password, as well as a full search engine.

An IRC chat server, which has fallen into a state of disuse with the advent of AOL's popularity, is still available for the intrepid souls who sometimes hang out there for long periods in search for intelligent and satisfying conversation.

I envision a single point on the Internet, focused on Gay life and the things that make it wonderful. The atmosphere must be one which inspires courage and confidence around each mouse click. A place where people meet, where ideas are exchanged, where dreams are created. A spot that lets its guests know that they are not alone - that their thoughts and desires are real and expressible. This is the aim of The Gay Cafe.

 
Special Thanks!

 



  The Gay Cafe and I would not be where we are today (umm, where exactly are we, anyway?) if it were not for some very special people. I would like to say Thank You to all of the subscribers who have stayed with this site for the last eight years, even though there are so many other spots around now where we can spend our time and money at. Your continued support has made it possible for me to enjoy the freedom and resources to do the things that are important to me in life.

To Chad, my first love, who caused me to create everything you see here. We were 19 or so at the time, and I don't think that we were ready for the world - or perhaps the world wasn't ready for us. I learned the importance of being myself, and discovered that it is possible to find exactly what you're looking for in the world, even if you can't have it yet. But that doesn't mean you should stop trying.

To Teri, who has introduced me to so many wonderful things in the world. Notably Barbetta in New York City (a wonderful Italian restaurant), David in San Diego (may he rest in peace), Kurt in Frankfurt Germany (the source for all of my photos), and finally Daniel in Philadelphia who used to let me sleep in front of his fireplace when I need to take a quiet break away from the rest of the world.

To Kelly, Ann, and John, for running a topnotch ISP.

And to my friends and parents, who have done more than their share to be there for me whenever I needed them. Thank You All.
