What is Ashley Madison: more than an extramarital affair site?

Ashley Madison is known worldwide as the dating site for infidelity. But it doesn’t stop there, as many single men and women seek a level of discretion that Ashley Madison offers for a variety of reasons, whether they want to have an affair or explore their sexuality. In this way, Ashley Madison defines itself as the meeting point for adult and discreet relationships with open-minded men and women.

Opinion, Review, Operation

Ashley Madison started its activity around the year two thousand and one, when there were not many sites where to look for discreet adult dating. At that time, many people went to normally dating sites, but it was difficult for them to find people who were looking for the same type of encounter and were of the same opinion. Thus, Ashley Madison was born as the site for dating married people privately. Today it has continued to grow to become the international leader in countries such as Spain, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, … in the niche of discreet affairs. Although it was initially born out of the demand of married people who wanted a meeting place where they could have extramarital affairs, it has now grown to offer much more.
