How do I search for members?
There are two ways that you can search our database: by username or by preferences. If you are not looking for a specific member, but rather someone who matches a description you give, then use the Find Members page. All members can search according to basic criteria like gender and location while VIP members can use the Advanced Search Options.
How do I send emails to members?
VIP Members
To contact other members on NoStringsAttached, please follow these steps:
- Log in to the site.
- Click on the "Find Members" button located on the top navigation bar.
- Enter the username of the member you wish to contact into the "Username Search" field or select your search preferences and click on the "Search Now" button to see your results.
- From a member's profile page, click the "Email" button.
Standard members can only reply to emails - ten a day from each member. Standard members seeking the ability to initiate email to other members should become a VIP member, which has many other benefits.
Note: When sending or replying to emails, be sure to enter all of the information in the form including the anti-spam number or your message will not transmit.
How do I get email from other members?
When you get email, it will appear in your free Message Center. To open your Message Center:
- Log in to your account.
- Click on the Inbox button on the top navigation bar.
This will open your Inbox and display any messages that you have received. (Copied messages can be found in your Sent Messages folder.)
If I forgot my password or username, what do I do?
Simple, click here for our automated password/username lookup form.
Note: If you recently made a change to your email address, NoStringsAttached will verify the new address by changing your password and sending the new password to the new email address.
What if it says my password is incorrect?
There could be several reasons why your password and username are not matching up. Try using your browser's "back" button to return to the log in screen. Clear the fields and enter your information again. If this still does not work, we suggest that you use the automated password/username lookup form. Other causes could include:
- Your account has been deleted during our review process. Please check your email inbox for a notice regarding this matter.
- You've updated your account and have a new password. Please check your email inbox for your new password and try to log-in again.
- Please clear your browsers cache, and make sure you aren't using a Bookmark or Hotlist link.
I'm not getting my password or other emails from NoStringsAttached!
Most email providers now routinely employ anti-spam software. Unfortunately, because of the number of emails NoStringsAttached sends out, your email provider might be classifying some NoStringsAttached messages as spam.

Even if you don't want to read all the emails at once, please do not report any email from NoStringsAttached as junk or spam.
