Are Online Sex Dating Sites Ruining Your Relationship?

Have you or your mate secretly (or not so secretly) been browsing online dating sites or sex hook up sites? Is is out of curiosity? Are you bored? Are you just looking for home grown porn or to have cyber sex? Even the Diane Keaton character in the recent movie Because I Said So gets curious and logs onto Adult Friend Finder.

Or are you really looking to hook up with someone else for sex behind your mate's back?

Adultery and Cheating Trend

Adultery and cheating are so commonplace that it may lose its name soon. The Scarlett letter A of adulterers was meant as a moniker of an unloyal, dishonest person who spat in the face of their relationship. Now it seems acceptable to many people to whittle away at their love bond in pursuit of their next conquest.

Brad Pitt (allegedly) cheated on Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie. YOu can hot, you can be rich, you can be Jennifer Aniston, ladies, and he still may be looking online for someone else to pleasure.

The Numbers:

Author of "The Monogamy Myth," Peggy Vaughan, estimates that 60 percent of married men and 40 percent of married women have an affair while they are married.

"One-third of divorce litigation is caused by online affairs." - The Fortino Group

Curiousity or Serious Pursuit?

Perhaps the guilty can defend themselves by saying they were "just looking" or just looking to cyber. Or maybe they wanted to satisfy their ego and see if they could hook up with someone if they wanted to. This may or may not be acceptable in the parameters of your relationship. Only and your mate know. Trouble crops up when one mate says it's okay and the other does not agree.

(continued) His behavior toward me changed dramatically. He literally avoided having sex with me for weeks at a time, then often, could not climax even in the midst of some pretty kinky activity. I take very good care of myself and was very adventurous--there was nothing he was not getting to make him look elsewhere, other than simply "something different". We are no longer together and it has been determined that he has an addiction to this online activity. It is a new and growing phenomenon that is ruining lives and relationships. I finally said ENOUGH. I too felt that I would be policing his activity all the time--even then, how would I know everything? That is no way to live. I deserve better. We all deserve better. This is not about me, this is not about you--it is their problem and we cannot fix it. I wish you all the best, and all the strength in the world. You deserve truth.

Linda, I know how you feel. I just found out that my significant other of 10 years had been viewing online dating and sex sites for years. He recently also paid for a sex site and started to contact other users. He set up "secret" email accounts with a fake name as well. In months prior, he had an ongoing increase in online pornography viewing. Prior to this, I thought a little was "ok", but then he started to spend hours during different parts of the day doing this. On occasion, he would view before work, then after work--sometimes for 1-2 hours at a time. Some days he would have it on in the background of other things he was "busy" doing on the computer. He would even stop a project to log on when I would leave briefly to run errands. As it turns out, he was logging on to dating and sex sites on and off for the majority of our relationship. As far as I know, but who really knows, he had never contacted anyone until recently--and no one knows why. His behavior tow

Two months age , I found two profiles my husband had on line seeking additional sex partners. He lied at first stating it wasn't him. Then he stated ,he put them on but never used them, even though he paid for one for five weeks. He continues to tell me he had no relationship with other women online or in person. Presently, i am seeking a divorce because i believe he has a secret life for over two years. The trust I had in him is goes forever, I will not spend the rest of my life checking out his computer. We were married over 22 years, and had a great sex life. The pain and agony his secret life has caused me is unforgiveable. Men should think about their wives or the woman they love before posting profiles that will destroy their life, their children's life and their wife's life. How can I stay with a man I don't trust and has caused me such pain. I deserve a better life.
