The Importance of Discretion in Modern Dating
In today's digital age, privacy in dating is more important than ever. Ashley Madison recognizes that individuals have the right to keep their personal relationships private.
Whether you're single looking for dates, in an open relationship, exploring polyamory or ethical non-monogamy, interested in casual dating, or seeking alternative dating experiences, Ashley Madison ensures that all users can connect with like-minded individuals while maintaining complete control over the level of privacy and discretion they desire.
A New Chapter: Where Desire Meets Discretion™
We've replaced our old tagline, "Life is Short, Have an Affair®" tailored to married people, with a new mantra that reflects our commitment to discretion and user trust: "Where Desire Meets Discretion." This change embodies our evolution as a platform and our recognition that modern daters value privacy above all else.
