I heard on the radio- NPR, even! That there are web sites that cater exclusively to people looking to have affairs. One guy quoted said something like, "That way I don't have to hide my marital status." Oh, he was looking for a NSA relationship. That's no strings attached.

Just horrible!

Oh, I forgot to say that the (married) founder of the website they were talking about said he didn't necessarily believe in cheating, it was just "filling a market niche like any other product." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

It's made more than $20 million in the last 6-7 years.

HTH

The continuing deterioration of marriage and family is astounding and sad.

It's things like this, that really makes me feel like we live in a world that cares nothing about marriage and vows, truth and honesty. It's sad. How can a married person start a website like that? It's such a shame. It seems like fighting infidelity has become much harder because people see it as no big deal. That is really sickening.

You don't need a special site. Any online dating site will serve this purpose. It is very sick. A friend of mine who had been through this before me was getting to the stage where she was ready to start dating again. She found an online dating site and had been browsing the profiles. There was a guy there she was interested in, but she was not yet ready to register herself so she could contact him. I was at her place one evening and she was showing the the site and how it works. Basically you can put in all kind of options as to what you are looking for. One of these is "intimate encounter" - which is essentially NSA sex. For fun, we looked up men in her age range, within 10 miles of her house, looking for intimate encounters. She lives in the country, but there were too many so we narrowed it down to Scorpio's only. There were still over 300!!!! We clicked on a bunch of the profiles and they were ALL MARRIED!!!!!! We were both in shock about this and wondered how many of the men looking for dating are also married but just lie about it.

Another friend who is single tried online dating. She's also a real estate agent so whenever she actually met someone and got their information, she would look up the title of their house and virtually always found a second name. This doesn't necessarily meant he guy is still married, but it is very suspicious that she rarely found one that was the sole owner of his house.

FWIW, while I think a lot of people believe that there is such a thing as no-string-attached sex, it doesn't always stay that way for both participants.

My FWH began his A believing, as suggested by the OW, that their A was no-strings-attached, but when he decided that it wasn't working for him and was damaging our marriage and he tried to end it, well she kept on springing back.

Strings, no, bungee cords, yes.
