Cheating is never OK, and IMO, this seems a little too far out the box, even for a social-media based society. But as unbelievable as it may sound, it’s real. Ashley Madison isn’t the only site where you can get your cheating on, as evidenced by the following list of successful dating sites cheaters married people.

The dating site for married people is – surprise, surprise – full of scammers, What I Learned Using an Online Dating Site for Married People to Cheat on My Wife A website populated by men who want sex , but don’t want to get found out​.

If you google around for articles about Ashley Madison , the online dating site for married people, you’ll usually end up reading variations on one of two pieces. The first is an article by a male journalist who signs up to the site “purely for research purposes”, meets some women as part of his research, doesn’t have the decency to actually sleep with them and then uses this research to draw shoddy conclusions about the kind of women who use the site.

The second is written by a woman whose marriage has gone stale, ends up using the site, maybe has sex and learns some valuable life lessons by doing so. This article is neither of these things. Background: I’m 40ish, a college professor in the UK, an upstanding member of the local community, married with kids. I’m also a sex addict. Or, I’d admit to being a sex addict if I actually accepted that sex addiction was a real disease, as opposed to just a term used to pathologise people who like sex a lot, particularly the weird stuff.

Call me overly subjective, but I assume that everyone is addicted to sex at heart — it’s just that some people are too uptight to admit it. If I were trying to justify that last statement, I’d say that my wife belongs to the latter category, but that would be a lie. She’s as addicted to sex as anyone, except that for some weird reason she only wants to have sex with me.
