Although you can join if you’re single, the site is geared towards discreet relationships.
People seeking romantic affairs and discreet liaisons from all over North America visit Ashley Madison Agency.
To accommodate a safe, discreet environment in which to take your time and get to know other romance-seekers, they provide the following service features:
Instant Messaging:
In the top-right corner of your screen, beside the Ashley Madison logo, you should see the instant messaging window. (You must be logged in and support Java) Instant messaging provides you an opportunity to communicate with other members that are also online. Instant Messaging is like regular chat, but messages are always private between you and the member(s) you are chatting with. (You may simultaneously chat with multiple people.)
Mail Messaging:
Ashley Madison system email is just like regular email. It’s safe, private, easy to use, confidential and can be accessed from any computer that has access to the Internet.
You may email any other member even when they’re not online. Mail-messaging helps you control your on and off-line time and helps keeps track of your contacts.
Winks:
Winks are used to let someone know you’re interested. If you’re not quite ready to extend your account and buy credits, send a wink. It’s free, quick and easy. If they wink back, you’ll know it’s time to take it up a notch!
Priority Mail:
Priority mail bumps your message to the front of the line and makes sure your message is read before the Member can access any other mail in their general inbox. You also get an email notice advising when your mail has been read.
Ad Profile:
It’s completely free to sign up and create your Ad Profile. Your profile tells other Members about you, who you are and what you’re looking for. You can also upload as many as 13 pictures!
Private Showcase Key:
Keep your personal pictures confidential in your Private Showcase. An admirer wants to see your photos? Send them a Key to view your Private Showcase and let them see more of you. You may revoke this privilege anytime you like.
Search Tool:
Use the advanced search feature and discover who’s available online now. Identify the location, age, descriptions and photos (where posted) of local adults that meet your specific search criteria.
Favorites:
Keep track of your favorite members and we’ll send you an email to notify you whenever they log on. Plus we always tell you when someone adds you to their favorites so you’ll know who your admirers are.
Ashley Madison has been featured in the News media and on programming like Oprah, Dr.Phil, CBS, ABC PrimeTime, 20/20, CBC, and Fox Television.
