Ashley Madison is one of the most popular adult dating services around. It started in 2001 as a website targeting people who were married or in relationships and looking to have a discreet affair. While Ashley Madison has remained a platform for those seeking to engage in discreet extramarital affairs, they have also expanded to serve a wider audience.
They now cater to a wider audience to include people that are interested in a variety of different types of relationships including monogamous, polyamorous, and open relationships. Expanding their target audience has allowed Ashley Madison to grow rapidly and their large user base consists of people from all around the world.
