Ashley Madison – Sex On The Side! 
00:24 by Cindy English · 11 Comments
I thought that I would check out the Ashley Madison Agency to see what was special about it.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Ashley Madison Agency, it is a web site that caters to a sometimes overlooked but growing dating niche…married dating. Yup, dating isn’t just for singles anymore.
Since the site has gained a lot of media attention since it’s inception back in 2002, I guess I was expecting something unique.
To be honest, I would have to say that I was disappointed and totally uninspired by my visit. Here’s my overall impression…
The Pros…
- You can create a free profile – no credit card info is need.
- You are not required to give your name or your address so anonymity is guaranteed.
- You only reveal information about yourself when the time is right for you.
- The dating service caters to people in the US, Canada, UK and Ireland.
- There is this cute little “panic button” at the top of the page that allows you to “escape” to a sales page for a Fax Machine should someone enter the room.
- Although you can purchase a 3 or 6 month membership which allows you to initiate contact with others, you can also “pay as you play” buying credits as you need them which might be cheaper. You can purchase 100 credits for $55. An email message to a new contact costs you 5 credits while a 20 minute instant messaging session will cost you 10 credits.
The Cons…
- I found the site design to be very amateurish and unappealing. I guess it shouldn’t matter, but it did to me. Maybe I just hate the color purple, I don’t know.
- The profiles were uninformative, focusing mainly on what type of sexual encounter you are looking for. I guess that stands to reason though. The purpose of the site is to help you find your next “roll in the hay” not a [tag-ice]soul mate[/tag-ice]. Who cares if you’re into surfing right?
- Photos are rare on this site so there’s not a lot to look at. You have to initiate contact based on profiles and unfortunately, many of them have little or no original content on them. Doesn’t give you a lot to go on. Call me superficial, but I want to see who I am talking to because, I am sorry, but, looks do matter! Even if it’s only a [tag-tec]one night stand[/tag-tec]. Who wants to waste time chatting with someone only to find out, you really can’t stand looking at them?
On the bright side, if you are married and looking, want anonymity and results, check out the Ashley Madison Agency.
I signed up yesterday. I put absolutely nothing in my profile and I already have 26 messages:
“I can’t wait to show you…
How I am going to rock your world!”
Just because I wasn’t impressed with Ashley Madison…doesn’t mean you won’t be! They must be doing something right…they’ve been around for 5 years.
Rock On!

I’m a big of the Ashley Madison Agency, having used it for two years. I’ve met some quality married women on the site and have no problems with using the service.
Hi Aaron, thanks for your input. I have to say that the Ashley Madison Agency does seem to be extremely popular just judging from the traffic generated! As I said, they certainly must be doing something right!
Ashley Madison is a perfect example of a business that earns a little bit of money by harnessing and, indeed, encouraging behavior that harms society. Check out my blog, moseskagan.com, for a full analysis.
i caught my husband on ashley madison trying to cheat using pc spy software i bought from http://www.proofpronto.com theres a tip, amen
I guess I should have done more research on Ashley Madison. Problem is, I get no responses. So it is certainly a waste of time and money.
I have no reason to doubt that deceptive business practices were used against me before I paid the $79. While I was still a “guest” member, I received several “winks” and a request to begin an IM session. Of course, as a guest, I could not initiate contact. I was excited about the prospect of becoming a “full” member so that I could initiate contact with these women who were so interested in me. Now I am convinced that employees of Ashley Madison have the job of teasing the male “guest” members with “winks” and IM requests to generate that interest so that they will pay for “full” membership.
I can’t believe the amount of affair-related material on the net. Guess that’s the price we pay for being on the information supwerhighway.

For the kids:
Grow up, then judge yourself first.
For the many of us:
If your kids already know, and your marriage “fire” has long time ago been extinguished, what are you waiting for? Get a clean divorce (without him/her ever know that you’ve cheated), and give a gift of life to your spouse and yourself. Don’t blame, don’t scream, it’s over anyway. And after all you may become a good friend with your X.
For the rest of us:
Maybe you expect some of the famous actors or actresses to show up in your bedroom and save you from the “dragon”? Won’t happen, there are too many of us, and not too many of them. Plus, most of us are ugly… excuse me, I mean, not sexy enough. That and the stupidity may turn off not only our wives…
Anyway, get some good anti-spy soft. Never underestimate your spouse. Never use a credit card. Become agent 007 – get your own net-book (It is much cheaper then a divorce lawyer after all). The technology that you see in sci-fi movies is already available for the paying customers (your spouse) over the net. Keep that in mind, and have fun! Thats what you’re after, isn’t it?
About me:
22 years and counting in one marriage, 2 kids. Love my family very much!
P.S. The site works, but I’d suggest you to get some experience with online dating before you pay anything to anybody.
i have been married for 32 years my wife and I are not perfect we have our ups and downs and our marriage is founded on Christian principals thoughes who pray together and share there needed and thoughts and bring what is needed into the marriage can endure much with the Lords help read Matthew 6:33 lifetime. Christians sometimes must cope with the breakup of a marriage. Because humans do not live up to the high ideals and standards of God, marriages do fail. With the strong biblical emphasis on marriage as a lifetime commitment, divorce poses a real dilemma for Christians. The dilemma of their proper attitude and response is most real for the persons directly involved and for those closest to them, but the dilemma also exists for the larger circle of friends and fellow church members. The Mosaic law allowed a man to divorce his wife but required a bill of divorce for her (Deut. 24:1). This was an advance over a time when a man simply sent his wife away. The writ of divorce was evidence of her release from the marriage and thus her freedom to be married to someone else (Deut. 24:2). Jesus explained Deuteronomy 24:1 as a concession to the hardness of human hearts; but He emphasized God’s original intention as reflected in Genesis 1:27 and 2:24 (Mark 10:2-9; Matt. 19:3-9). Two verses in Matthew (5:32; 19:9) state that fornication can be grounds for divorce. Some interpreters believe that these and other relevant passages in the Gospels (Mark 10:11-12; Luke 16:18) suggest that Jesus especially had in mind persons who divorce a spouse and marry someone else in an attempt to legitimize an adulterous relationship. The case of Herod and Herodias, who had divorced their spouses to satisfy their lust for each other, was notorious in that day. John the Baptist had been in prison for daring to rebuke Herod, and spiteful Herodias successfully plotted John’s execution because of this (Mark 6:14-29; Matt. 14:1-12). Paul followed Jesus in emphasizing the permanence of marriage (1 Cor. 7:10-11), but he taught that a Christian was not bound to an unbelieving spouse if the unbeliever insisted on a separation (1 Cor. 7:12-16). Clearly, therefore, the Bible teaches permanence as the ideal; but unfortunately, human hearts are still hard; and divorce for various reasons still happens. The Gospels are filled with examples of how Jesus dealt with persons who were struggling with guilt and failure (Luke 19:1-10; John 8:2-11), including one woman who had been married five times and who was living with a man who was not her husband (John 4:1-42). Where guilt was involved, Jesus did not minimize it; but in every case He acted redemptively. That is, His goal was not to condemn people but to help them begin anew with God’s grace and strength.
