Overview
GayBloom is for men seeking men. Media Synergy SAS publishes the service and Together Networks Limited handles member data.
Free accounts create a profile and browse members. Complete messaging requires a paid plan, and some messages may remain unavailable to free members.
Roles and privacy
The form offers top, bottom, versatile and two intermediate options, or prefer not to say. Add your town, email and password, correcting the location suggested from your connection as needed.
Controlling profile visibility
Incognito hides your identity on the site. Turning off phone location sharing replaces the precise position with a point in your postcode area. Photos and videos undergo moderation. Verified Member status uses account checks, including an SMS code. The badge records that check without confirming every claim in the profile.
Trial and renewal
GayBloom reveals amounts at checkout. Options include a three-day or week-long trial and one, three or six months. The trial continues monthly at the standard rate, while other terms renew. Switch renewal off in My Settings at least 24 hours ahead. Access remains until the paid term ends, and a later subscription does not restore the introductory discount.
