The original king of affair websites, Ashley Madison has come a long way since it took the world by storm.
Be Naughty
- Heavy encounter-focused branding.
- According to askmen.com, the platform is used by more than 3 million members in 70 countries with most users coming from the U.S., but it is difficult to find information on the number of verified profiles.

X Match
