Ashley Madison is a dating service website for those individuals already in relationships who are seeking extra thrills and excitement through discreet relationships and casual encounters. Site members can opt for single members or other married members to communicate with using the site's chat or email features. Basic membership for women and men is always completely free, however, using certain features will require the purchase of credits. Credits mean that rather than being charged a monthly fee, site members control their usage and the amount they spend. The search feature allows one to find compatible prospects anywhere from 20 to 500 miles. Members can manage their profiles stating preferences, tastes and desires as well as add up to 13 personal photos.
The site guarantees anonymity of its members. However photos are an exception to this rule. Many people are uncertain about placing a picture of themselves on their profile, but the reality is that, if you don't display a decent picture, getting dates is much harder. One option is to add pictures to your Private Showcase, which is an area of your profile that is hidden from other members unless you give them an invitation to do so. This lets you "cherry pic" the people who you want to see your profile after you get to know them.
Ashley Madison is a unique niche website and has been featured in a number of well known magazines, TV programs and popular radio shows. The site offers much in the way of tips and advice for site members. A valid email will be required in order to fully complete registration.

I'm a male who has used various sites over the past 6 months to talk to and meet women who are willing to have an affair. This site is probably the best for doing that as it has yielded my only affair so far. Admittedly, I haven't tried very hard on other sites, but at AshMad at least you don't have to wonder about why the other person is there or what they are looking for. The hard part is already exposed for you... the other person is married and looking to have an affair. I am currently in a ...

@anonymous Not everyone is Christian. Please consider that.
There are other religions out there (with different morals), and *gasp* even people who are not religious. Stop seeing the world so ego-centric. Don't ruin it for everybody else, just because you don't agree with it.
Please keep your morals to yourself, and I'll keep my morals to myself. Deal?
@Banjo30 Thank you for saying what everyone else is thinking. I'm in the same situation. I've been with my girl for 5 years, and after year 2 she pretty much completely cut out sex. I refuse to have sex with someone who's "only doing it for me" but isn't interested in it herself - "going through the motions so to speak". If you guys want to do that, fine. To me that's a form of rape. (Even though her sex is consensual, I know her heart is not in it. Therefore I refuse to participate in it.) I’d much rather have sex with someone who actually enjoys it and craves it like I do. That's what the site is for, and does very well.
Do I love my wife any less, because of that? Of course not. We have tons of romantic evenings, outings, etc. We just don't have sex. Now are you saying I should divorce my wife just because she doesn't enjoy, or crave sex? Or because she thinks that she doesn't have a problem she needs to get looked at?
Monogamy is an outdated concept that doesn't apply in today’s generation. It worked well from biblical times to the middle ages, when people lived to be 30. In today’s world where people travel more than 30 miles away from home, monogamy just doesn't seem as reasonable.
I still believe in marriage and love my wife. I just don't see why I should suffer from it. (Or do what other men do with prostitutes or internet porn.)
While I pan AM for a lot of reasons, the morality police really need to stop being so naive. About one marriage in 6 is sexless. Many of those are by choice of one partner only. What do you do when you love your wife, but at age 30 she decides that she will never have sex again, nor ever get help for what she thinks is not a problem?
Before you decide to send us all to hell, why don't you go have a look at the sexless/loveless marriage support sites on the web to see what 15 million people in the US alone have to live with every damn day.
I only wish there were a site like Ashley Madison for men. The one that exists is really only for women.
@Kelsey Then go away, and don't go on the site you self righteous jerk! What disgusts me is people that judge others based on their so called morality, with out having any idea what they're talking about.
Well, I haven't decided to join AM as of yet, but from what I've seen, heard and come to a conclusion is that AM doesn't promote or talk you into having an affair with anyone. If you don't agree with the purpose of the site, don't visit it or join, it's that simple. Furthermore, you don't need AM to meet anyone to have a discreet affair.
I've been married for a very long time and accidentally met a wonderful, delightful, caring, beautiful women, (need I say more) and we began having coffee and that lead into a more discreet relationship. We are both in similar situations where our spouse's forgotten to continue to consummate the marriage (having sex). I have no regrets about the relationship.
Unfortunately that also has ended, due to her marriage finally coming to a close...
How messed up is the world we live in? Not only ar people wanting to have affairs, but now can visit a site and meet other people wanting to do the same thing. How about you divorce the people you are with and then have sex with other people... Or maybe actually try to have a successful and meaningful relationship with a person you love. This site and everyone trying to have affairs through it really disgusts me.
Wonderful site usage. It is important to know people before you meet them.
I'm chicagogorilla on ashley madison, 6 foot 7 well built chicago nw suburbs looking for one attractive female for bedroom fun only.
Just looking for friends etc... I’m a nice gentleman easy to get along with not trying to take anybody’s girl away just natural fun.
Actually, AM has over 4 million members worldwide.
People cheat and have cheated since the beginning of time. And if people are on the website, they have already considered going down "that" path - no 30 second ad is going to convince them to go have an affair.
Best to keep cheaters with like minded individuals and off the websites for singles who are sincerely looking for love and a long term relationship with an AVAILABLE person. How many people are out there trying to find a partner/mate through on-line dating, only to get swept off their feet by someone who is married and has been lying about their marital status behind the "safety" of the internet? Also keep affairs out of the workplace where productivity can go down the toilet and co-workers are expected to turn a "blind eye" to the shenanigans of their colleagues and force a cheerful smile when coming face to face with Mr. Cheater's poor clueless wife at the company holiday party...
I used this site....yes...I'm in a bad marriage and divorce is an even worse option. The men I met on AM seemed nice, but cheat on their affairees all the time, only really want sex, want multiple partners, and will say anything to a woman to get her to go out with him. They are married yet want perfect women who won't make any demands on them except for sex. It was a deeply disappointing experience.
Hi, I have heard about Ashley Madison site, however am greatly disappointed that it seems to cater only to the residents of North America (USA and Canada) and the U.K. I am an African and live in Kenya. Thank you as look forward to your potential availability in Kenya and Africa at large.
Ashley Madison is a glorified chat room at best and probably run and operated by chatters. Women looking for men are swamped with e-mails almost immediately. If you’re a good chatter you can rise above the ranks and chat with a lonely women posting 10 year old pictures of herself when she was 30 lbs thinner. Some genius ex chatter came up with the idea of how to get chatters to pay for chatting, the men get to bid for the attention of women and the women get to be put on a pedestal and dotted upon by grovelling males and both parties get to pay for it…..pure genius.
Men and women who shamelessly leave your marriage beds to sleep with other married women and men, where is your morality? Do you think of the pain you cause the children of the men and the poor wives back at home? It’s time to reconsider your values because what you are looking for here, you will not find it, it is all vanity, waste of time money, dignity and causing pain to most of all yourselves. Stop looking to fill your emotional voids at the wrong place, Jesus is the answer whether you accept it or you don’t!
Ashley Madison is great for women. Women receive, by far, more emails than men. Some women I have spoken to get about 100 emails a day. I averaged about two per day, despite sending out over 20 each day to various women. Guys normally foot the bill to message the women. Chatting can be expensive and you only have 24 hours to use the minutes you've purchased. I've spent almost $200 hundred dollars already and have yet to even meet anyone. If you have a lot of money to waste it may be worth it for you. In my opinion, it is expensive and not worth it.
I am amazed that betrayal is now officially institutionalized and socially accepted as a norm of conduct. Isn't this world screwed up? WTF??
I guess it’s cool have to register in this chat site. Just hope I find want am looking for. Real love not just likeness you know.
I am a 35 year old Italian American Male looking for a discreet relationship.
If you take a careful look at the site, you see that they don’t encourage infidelity at all and actually recommend that if you are having relationship difficulties that you should visit a councillor as a first step. This is good advice, but for many people this is not an option. I was in an abusive marriage for 9 years. I felt trapped and lonely and had almost no opportunities to meet anyone else. I rarely went out, and in my normal day to day life I had little hope of finding a better relationship prospect.
Many other dating sites actually bar those people who are married or already in a relationship - not only that, even criminally prosecuting them with fraud in some cases. So for me AM was my only escape and chance to get out of a relationship I couldn’t cope with. Sure it’s true that some people (mostly men) there are just looking for a “bit on the side”, but just take a look at any other dating site... those people are there too. That’s human nature I’m afraid...
Poor site. Customer emails are not responded to. Chats paid for in advanced are 'timed out (technical difficulties) as soon as they are started but you are still charged for the 30 minutes to an hour you already paid for. Collect messages are sent asking you to chat, but after you pay for the message, noone responds to when they are online. In fact no one responds to any collect message they send. You pay for the messages for someone who says they are interested and after the payment, nothing more is heard. Promises to be a good site but there is nothing there.
