Creator terms

Last updated: October 31, 2026

Who can join

Anyone 18 or older with a himly account can apply. An invite code from us lets you in at once; other applications are reviewed by a person. We may turn down an application, or suspend a creator who breaks these terms.

The men you write

  • Every public man must be a fictional adult and follow himly’s community guidelines: romantic, not explicit (PG-13), with no minors, real people, hate or violence.
  • You must own, or have the right to use, the words, images, voices and videos you upload. No one else’s work, no celebrities’ likenesses, no copyrighted characters.
  • You keep your rights in your work and license himly to show it, recommend it, have AI play it (chat, voice, photos and videos) and use it in promotion. You can make a man private at any time; the license then ends for new use.
  • Men are reviewed before they go public, and we may take one down after a report or a breach.

How earnings are counted

  • When other members spend gems on your public men (replies, photos, videos, calls, gifts, unlocks and the like), you earn 20% of what those gems are worth.
  • A gem counts as 1.5¢: what a gem reliably brings in after payment fees, taxes and refunds. We may change this value or the share with 30 days’ notice; a change never touches earnings already made.
  • What each item actually cost us comes off the gems’ value before the 20% is counted: a reply’s model cost (every model, as used); a call’s voice-service and model cost (the whole call, its free time too); the cost of making a photo or video for a member. Photos a man already has cost nothing to make, so nothing comes off. It never goes below zero. Costs follow our providers’ actual usage and prices; when a provider doesn’t report its usage, its list price is used.
  • Only gems spent by members who have paid us count. Your own account doesn’t count, nor anything over 2,000 gems from one member in a day. Spending in group chats doesn’t count.
  • Spending that is refunded or charged back, or that comes from fake activity, shared accounts or self-dealing, comes off your earnings; serious abuse forfeits unpaid earnings.
  • Earnings are “clearing” for 30 days after they come in; then they can be paid out.

Payouts

  • Ask for a payout once $50.00 has cleared, to PayPal, Wise or USDT (TRC-20). We pay by hand within 7 working days.
  • Make sure your payout details are right; money sent to details you gave is not ours to recover. Payment or network fees may come off the amount.
  • You are responsible for reporting and paying taxes on what you earn. Before your first payout we may ask for identity and tax details (such as a W-8BEN or W-9); payouts wait until we have them.
  • If your account closes or you leave the program, cleared earnings that follow these terms are still paid.

Everything else

These terms are part of himly’s terms of service. We may update them and will tell you before any significant change. Questions: write to us from You › Help.
