Married, attached, or open
Discreet dating, minus the leaks
Whether it's an affair or an open marriage you've both agreed to, the risks are the same: a card statement, a notification on a lock screen, a breach. We compare the sites built for married people on what they expose, what they cost and what regulators found, and we don't judge why you're here.
What we compare, and how
What it exposes
Past breaches, what the site keeps after you delete, how billing appears, and how much a profile reveals to other members.
Real people
Regulator findings and the sites' own terms on fake, "engager" or staff-run profiles. This market has a documented history of both.
Cost and billing
Credits versus subscriptions, who pays (often only men), auto-renewal and refunds, from the sites' own pages and independent reviews.
Built for consent or secrecy
Whether the site is designed for affairs or for couples opening up together. Both are legal; they need different tools.
Who is there
Published research and filings only. A site's "millions of members" is quoted as a claim, never as a fact.
Five sites, side by side
Victoria Milan and Ashley Madison are built for affairs. Feeld and OkCupid suit couples who are opening their relationship together and want to say so on their profile. AdultFriendFinder sits in between. Read the Privacy record column first: on these sites it matters more than the price.
