Ashley Madison

Ashley Madison is a controversial sex dating site due to the fact that it encourages married people to commit infidelity. Their slogan is ‘Life is short, have an affair’ and the entire premise of the site is to connect married people or people in committed relationships with people looking to have a discrete affair with them.

Now, a lot of people may find this extremely unethical but when it comes to sex, we humans crave thrill and excitement and what is more thrilling than getting a taste of forbidden fruit? With over 30 million registered users and over 10 million site visits a month, there’s clearly a huge demand for this type of service.

Signing up on the site is free and it is recommended you use a throwaway email just in-case your spouse goes snooping around, plus there was also that data breach back in 2015 that exposed the personal info of all the cheating spouses on the site so you wanna be careful on what you reveal about yourself in-case there’s another hack.

When it comes to setting up your profile, you can add descriptive info, lifestyle info as well as info on the type of relationship you are seeking eg. long term, short term, etc. Since it’s a dating site, of-course you have to upload a picture of yourself and due to their focus on discretion, the picture will only be visible to the people you want to match with – to everybody else, it will be a blurry image.

There’s a lot of customisation options when it comes to stating what you’re looking for – You can say what kind of sex you like, if you want someone who is 420 friendly or someone with tattoos. You can also write about your interests and hobbies if you want someone who has he same passions as you do.

The sites membership is free but of-course like any other dating site, you’ll have to spend some cash to get the results you’re looking for and Ashley Madison has a pretty cool system. Instead of paying a monthly subscription fee, you purchase credits on the site and use them to chat with potential hookups or send them gifts. I think this is an excellent set-up as you only spend money when you’re using the site so it’s very cost efficient. Something you should know about credits is the more you buy the cheaper they become so think about how much time you think you’re gonna spend on the site before making a purchase.

Not everybody on the site is married of-course, some are just single people who are down to fuck and are trying their luck where ever they think they can get laid. One cool feature on the site is the ‘TravelingMan’ feature which makes it easy to connect with members in cities/countries you’re travelling to.

All in all, this is a well thought-out project with great features and millions upon millions of cheating spouses looking to hook-up so what are you waiting for???
