Would You Date a Vampire?

From Carmilla to Louis and Lestat, queer vampires have always fascinated us. Now meet Julio in our new gay vampire micro movie.

What makes vampires so irresistible?

Maybe it's the danger. Maybe it's the romance. Maybe it's the promise of someone choosing you — for eternity.

This week, we explored the history of vampire stories, from Carmilla and Dracula to Twilight and Interview with the Vampire. Along the way, we looked at how the genre has evolved and why gay vampire love stories have remained surprisingly rare.

Of course, we couldn't resist changing that. 😏

🧛 Watch our new gay vampire micro movie, read the full story behind the genre, and download exclusive wallpapers.

Then tell us:

🩸 Would you date a vampire — or would you rather become one?

Stonewall: The Night That Changed LGBTQ+ History

More than 50 years later, Stonewall still shapes every Pride. Discover what happened that night—and why its legacy lives on today.

Every June, one name keeps coming back: Stonewall.

We hear it in Pride speeches, see it on social media, and read about it every year. But here's the interesting part: most of us weren't even there. In fact, many of us weren't even born yet.

So what actually happened that night? And why has Stonewall remained such an important part of LGBTQ+ history for more than 50 years?

Our latest blog looks back at the events of 1969, the story of Stormé DeLarverie, and why Stonewall continues to matter today. 🌈

The Rainbow Flag: One Man’s Symbol for Millions

Few symbols are as universal as the Rainbow Flag. Here’s the story of Gilbert Baker and how his creation became a global sign of LGBTQ+ prid

The Rainbow Flag is everywhere now.

At Pride. On balconies and windows. Around shoulders. Painted on faces, boats, streets, and stories.

But before it became a global symbol, it was an idea from one gay man with a sewing machine, a community around him, and a belief that we deserved something hopeful. 🌈

Gilbert Baker didn’t just create a flag. He helped give millions of people a way to be seen.

Our latest blog tells the story behind the Rainbow Flag, why its first version had eight colors, how history changed its design, and why it still means so much today.

Happy Pride 💙 Read more here!

How Much Does Age Really Matter?

Some users stay close to their own age. Others look across generations. We explored ROMEO data to see how age shapes attraction.

Age is just a number… until you set your search filter.

We looked at our Romeos’ age preferences to see who includes whom — and the data shows an interesting mix of comfort zones, curiosity and chemistry. 👀 

Some users stay close to their own generation. Some leave the door open wider. And somewhere between daddies, twinks, silver foxes, cubs and zaddies, the picture gets more interesting than one simple “type”.

How much does age really matter? 😏

Nudity & the Return of Shame

From FKK culture and sauna stories to social media censorship, we explore whether society is becoming more uncomfortable with nudity again.

FKK has never just been about being naked.

For many people, Germany’s “free body culture” has long been connected to nature, freedom, health, and a more relaxed relationship with the human body.

But today, it sometimes feels like society is moving in the opposite direction.

Have we become less comfortable with simple nudity again? 🍑

Our latest blog looks at FKK, body culture, public shame, and why the human body still makes so many people nervous.

The Original Romeos Had a Different Mission

Long before dating apps, East Germany trained charming young men to win hearts, gain trust, and steal secrets.

Love, lies, espionage… and suspiciously handsome men undercover? 🕵️‍♂️

During the Cold War, the Stasi had its own kind of Romeo: charming agents sent to seduce, gain trust and collect state secrets.

We looked into what might be the most dramatic romance scam in history: the Romeo Program.

Yes, you read that correctly. Head to our blog and discover this crazy chapter of history 👀

Talking About Connection & Support

A conversation about connection, boundaries, harm reduction, and support in the queer community

Some conversations are uncomfortable. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have them ❤️

A lot of people in our community are confronted with difficult situations involving pressure, loneliness or blurred boundaries — often without really talking about it.

Last month, Jesse Bleekemolen and Rein van Leeuwen released a documentary to create more awareness around these topics and the realities behind them.

We wanted to join the conversation and reflect on support and harm reduction.
