ANI - June 2 - After 50 years of marriage, most couples

dating site ForgetDinner.co.uk, the problem is exacerbated by having children. FULL ARTICLE @ NEWSTRACK INDIA

Dating Sites Offering No-strings Sex
TIMES ONLINE - Oct 29 - Forget Dinner is one of three dating sites — the others are called Marital Affair and Simply Adult — that describe themselves as for broad-minded adults wanting “fun” to meet.

Adulterous behaviour accounted for 29% of all cases. 24% of married men, asked if they would cheat on their partner if there were no possibility of being found out, said yes and only 9% of married women said that they would consider an affair.
