Story Of Craigslist Sex

Posted on April 9, 2010

Craigslist logo HUFFINGTON POST – Apr 9 - The Craigslist casual encounters section
offers a no-strings-attached experience that's expedient and anonymous.
The section started in 2000 and now accounts for 2% of all Craigslist
postings, which run in 570 cities and 50 countries and get more than
50M visitors a month. In fact, the New York Times reports that traffic
to all Craigslist personals sections is higher than for Match.com,
eHarmony and Yahoo personals. In 2006, Nassau County set up a
prostitution sting operation focused on Craigslist. As a result, last
year, Craigslist reached an agreement with state attorney generals to
charge a $5 fee and require a phone number for people posting "erotic
services." The move led to an immediate 80% drop in postings to that
section. FULL ARTICLE @ HUFFINGTON POST

Female Newlyweds Flock To Join Cheaters Club

Posted on April 9, 2010

Ashleymadison logo new apr 2010 THE STAR – Apr 8 – According to Ashley Madison statistics, the number
of Toronto-area female newlyweds on their site has skyrocketed in the
past year. In March 2009, there were 3,184 women who had been married
for three years or less actively using the service. A year later, there
were 12,442. “There’s an overall increase in female infidelity in
general,” says Ruth Houston, a New York-based infidelity
expert. Houston is convinced that infidelity by women has increased by
50% in the last 10 years. But the U.S. National Opinion Research Center
report on American Sexual Behaviour offers much smaller figures: In
2004, 20.5% of men and 11.7 % of women admitted to cheating on their
spouses, a change from 21.3 and 10% in 1991. Ashley Madison membership
is growing madly. All of Canada, U.S., U.K. and Australia – 5,410,347
members (up from 2,802,664 a year ago), 3,898,468 male, 1,511,879
female. FULL ARTICLE @ THE STAR
