SELF MAGAZINE – November '09 - Searching for a sex buddy online is more than
twice as popular among middle-aged women as with those 25 and younger.
According to SELF's survey, women in their 30s and older are more
likely to log on to a dating site such as Match.com than are women in
their early 20s. And women older than 50 are most likely of all the age
groups to jump into online dating. Thanks to the Internet, it's now
possible to be unfaithful without leaving your desk or even talking on
the phone. More than 30% of women ages 26 to 50 have flirted with a
stranger online while in a relationship. FULL ARTICLE @ SELF MAGAZINE

Extramarital Affairs Arranged On-Line
PSYCHOLOGY TODAY – Oct 12 – AshleyMadison allows individuals in search of seemingly
uncomplicated extramarital affairs to find each other in cyberspace and
then hook up in real space. Here is the interview with Noel Biderman, the site's founder.
Q: How would you characterize marriage and monogamy in America?
A: My own personal belief is that within the coming decades,
heterosexual monogamous marriages will become the minority of American
marriages
Q: How do you account for the success of your site?
A: Ashleymadison.com
is catering to a human need; sex is as important to us as the air we
breathe, and ultimately it is not in our DNA to be
monogamous.
Q: How did you come up with the idea?
A: I came across a research back in 2001 that indicated that 30-35% of people going to
so-called single/matchmaking services were in fact attached. I thought to myself, wow, wouldn't these people prefer a
service where they could meet other like minded adults and be honest
about their relationship status.
Q: What's your ratio of male to female members?
A: 30% female and 70% male

Sex With A Stranger
GLAMOUR MAGAZINE — Aug 26 — A startling number of young women are living out a fantasy with guys they meet online – and don’t know at all. Liberating or just plain dangerous? Hookup or “casual dating” websites like Fling.com, SexSearch, OnlineBootyCall, and others often outperform mainstream dating sites. Match.com had 5M unique visitors in May. AdultFriendFinder had nearly 24M and Fling 18M. Statistics show that ~50% of these users are women. “Most women say they get a rush from sleeping with a stranger. The rush may be largely fear. If you mix the chemicals involved with fear (adrenaline and norepinephrine) and those involved with sexual arousal (serotonin and dopamine), you create the most potent cocktail the brain can handle”, said Kelly McDaniel, author of Ready to Heal: Women Facing Love, Sex and Relationship Addiction.

OPW — Aug 13 — AshleyMadison.com gets knocked off in the latest episode of Drop Dead Diva. "You only go around once, have a fling." TiffanyLexington.com is the name shown on the computer screen.

In the show the sites owner is being sued for 'screwing up the plaintiffs marriage and ending her sex life,' to which he responds, 'that's ridiculous…if anything, my service can revitalize a marriage.' Who does that sound like?
