In short

Marital Affair is a discreet dating site for married and attached adults, and this is its local guide for Philadelphia. Joining and browsing are free; messaging is paid, in US dollars. Adultery isn't a crime in Pennsylvania, though it remains a fault ground for divorce. Philadelphia's Health Center 1 offers free walk-in STI testing and treatment.

Who you'll meet, and what it costs

Joining, building a profile and browsing are free; reading and replying to messages needs a paid membership, and the prices page lists the options. Prices are in US dollars. Checkout shows the billing name that will appear on your card statement, and memberships renew until you cancel in Settings > Billing. You must be 18 or over to join. Because profiles are shared with partner sites in the same network, some people you hear from will have joined through another site.

The law in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania no longer treats adultery as a crime. It is still one of the fault grounds for divorce in 23 Pa.C.S. section 3301, alongside desertion and cruel treatment, but most couples use a no-fault route instead:

Route What it needs
Mutual consent Both spouses file affidavits consenting, and at least 90 days have passed since the case began
Irretrievable breakdown The spouses have lived separate and apart for at least one year
Fault One of the listed grounds, including adultery

This isn't legal advice; speak to a Pennsylvania family lawyer before acting.

Sexual health in Philadelphia

The city's STI clinic at Health Center 1, 1930 S. Broad St., floor 2 (215-685-6570), offers free testing and treatment to anyone over 13. It's walk-in only, first come, first served:

Day Hours
Monday and Wednesday 7.45am to 7pm
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 7.45am to 4pm

On the first Wednesday of each month it opens at 1pm, and on very busy days it can close early, so call first.

The CDC's GetTested finder at gettested.cdc.gov lists other free and low-cost testing near you, and our guide to sexual health with a new partner covers what to test for and when.

If someone tries to scam or threaten you

  • The FTC, at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, for romance scams and other fraud.
  • The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, at ic3.gov, for online fraud and sextortion.
  • 911 if you are in danger or a crime is happening now.
  • StopNCII.org if someone threatens to share intimate images: it lets an adult create a digital fingerprint of an image on their own device so participating platforms can find and remove copies.

Don't send money or more photos. Keep the messages and report the profile through our help centre. The guide to scams and blackmail explains how these schemes usually run.

Talking to someone

If you want to talk it through, a licensed marriage and family therapist will see individuals as well as couples. If you are struggling, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, at any time. Our page on getting support lists more places to turn.

Before you meet

Our safety page and the guide to meeting safely cover first meetings, and the discretion page explains what the site shows and sends: the billing name, account emails and who can see your profile.
