    hahahaha - a quote popped up on FB along the lines of ...8 million (or was it 80 mil?) people registered on Ashley Madison - and yet they think the gays will undermine marriage

    Just goes to show how stupid people are. Isn't everyone already using a Visa gift card to pay for their VPN to avoid the Gov snooping on their web activity?

    Inertia.

    I think the success of Ashley Madison is indicative of the epidemic of sexless marriages. Worse than sexless marriages, is the fact that many people apparently can't talk about it, and feel they have no option but to resort to infidelity.

    If you can't say to your partner: "I'm not feeling sexually satisfied in this relationship. What are we going to do about it?", or if you're not willing to hear it and negotiate something, then I don't think you should be married.

    But clearly I'm the minority in having this view!

    Getting married doesn't mean that you have the right to demand sex at any time. But nor does it mean its opposite, that you're consigned to a sexless life if your partner decides they're no longer interested.

    Sexual satisfaction is hugely important, and marriage should not be a hindrance to that - ideally it would be the facilitator! I'm constantly amazed as to how many people - mostly men, admittedly - who live unhappily in sexless marriages, but either a) don't do anything to fix it, or b) resort to infidelity.

    Many men have these conversations with me, that they claim not to be able to have with their spouse. That makes me terribly sad.

    It is sad, but if the spouse does not acknowledge the problem what then? A mate of mine got divorced, he spoke to his wife about various issues many times and the only validation of his pain and the issues was after he left.

    Lets say someone has children, absolutely adores their children and would hate to be away from them. Cheat or see your children 1/2 the time (less if you are a dad). If you have nothing to lose by cheating why wouldn't you?

    In my opionion if a spouse's only response is to say no, then they lose the right to a monogamous marriage. But say it to his/her face, that is the honourable thing to do.

    I agree with all. I'm sorry that your mate's wife was unwilling to work on it. Many of the men I speak with don't even raise the issue - that's what I was addressing.

    Lib hit it on the head. Men don't want to give up time with their kids or lose assets plus paying long term child support. So they'd rather live unhappily married and get a bit (or a lot) on the side.

    As a woman, I'm saying that if the wife doesn't want to have sex with her husband, and is unwilling to do anything about it (e.g. get her libido checked out by doctor, have relationship counselling to negotiate something both are happy with, etc.), then there should be no need for divorce - he should have lovers openly, and she should be happy that somebody else is willing to give her husband what she clearly isn't.

    It's not reasonable, IMHO, to say: "I've chosen to live a celibate (or near-celibate) life, so you have to, too".

    All people have needs. I believe that there are many who do not know how to satisfy the needs of their loved one, while others can not be bothered to put in the hard work in order to gain some rewards. Most want an easy ride in life. After all is said and done, more is said than done.

    Who's Ashley?

    Ashley Madison?

    A dating site with the tagline “Life is short. Have an affair” which offers married people the opportunity to cheat on their spouses. With a claimed 37 Million users :confused:

    Apparently most of the female profiles were fake, reminds me of the joke (substitute sex depending on your wont)
    Q
    "How do you know your husband is cheating"
    A
    "You Don't"

    I'm confused now. If most of the female profiles were fake, who was hooking up... and with whom?
