AM Hack - yawn

I've been pleasantly amused by the media frenzy surrounding the Ashley Madison married dating website hack. Apparently 33 million user accounts leaked - 32, 999, 980 male accounts, and 20 filthy female whores who used the married dating website to lure faithful men away from their loving wives.

The media has focused almost exclusively on the women who have had to deal with the fallout. Stories of shocked wives and their now repentant husbands. Addiction counselling. Separation. Apparently even suicide. One local radio station asked women to call in if they suspected their partner of cheating. Really?!  I listened as one poor dove of a woman was called up and the bad news broken to her:

"Hi Jan, sorry to tell you this, but your husband's email address is on the list…"

At first silence. Then "That's disgusting!" Her next response? You'll never guess. She berated the previous caller, a single woman who used AM for casual sex.

As Jan said, "And I just want to say…that lady who rang in earlier, the single woman…she should be ashamed of herself!"

Yep. That single bitch is the problem lady.

I'm not going to be disparaging of men or women who look for sex on the internet. That's life. People cheat. It's normal to want sex, we're animals. It's pretty normal to want sex with different people at some point in our lives, whether female or male, married or unmarried. Men are encouraged to want sex. For fuck's sake, he needs it! Women are socialised into thinking sex is something to withhold if we wish to appear virtuous. We're taught that sex is something we shouldn't demand and we definitely shouldn't be having with a lot of different people. Slut, skank, whore. This accounts for the disparity in male versus female membership on AM and ultimately, the reason account details have been leaked. Men are sick of the fake profiles. They want real women. They pay to contact women on AM and they actually want a root for their money and efforts. Angry, but not quite desperate enough to visit a prostitute yet eh? Wouldn't sound as good when he tells his friends about it.

Back to Jan, the married women. It's so interesting that her first port of call for blame in the case of her husband's infidelity was the single woman he might have slept with. Her poor little husband. If only those disgusting women who trawl the internet looking for sex would go away!

As a single woman who has dabbled on and off with this married dating website, I'd have to admit, I care very little for the 'Jans' out there. She's not my wife, and I'm not cheating on her. I guess you could say I care as much for Jan's needs as her partner does. How disgraceful can a single woman get? Actively persuing married men for sex! Innocent married men! Victims of a filthy, oversexed, immoral single woman who should understand to stay away from men that someone else already owns.

AM has been hugely successful for me. I've had my choice of  readily available, intelligent, young, muscular, sexually interesting, attractive men. I'm not after the demands of a full-time relationship, so thanks to AM, I've been able to take my pick from a smorgasbord of married men over the years. I revisit a few of them every now and then when the need arises. In fact, and this is weird, I'm currently seeing a man I met on the Ashley Madison website. A few months back I decided to contact a single man with an AM profile. Just to see what that was all about. The increasing number of single men on Ashley Madison has driven those married men insane (if their sob stories are anything to go by). They increase the odds, and decrease the very small chance those poor married men get to cheat on their wives. Well, it turns out that for single men it's sometimes too much hard work to get laid on the singles site. The courtship thing gets in the way. You can't just have dinner and a root. You have to meet the best friend and the cat and the kids too.

Anyway, single Pete from the married website is alright. He's keeping me happy. He meets my two criteria: male and living in the same suburb. He also likes wine bars and coffee. He cooks a mean lamb shank on a bed of mashed potato. He's easy-going, he dresses well. He's lean and fit. He's busy enough to be undemanding. He can ride a horse for christ's sake!

So as a single woman who has used Ashley Madison for my own selfish needs for years, I'd like to say thank you Ashley Madison.  Thank you to a website that has served me up my most memorable sexual encounters. The biggest dicks, the most toned bodies...the fittest of the fit (Jose Carlos, Phil, Tim, Ian, Brendan, Nick, Pete). Thank you to a website that has introduced me to some of my nicest memories, and a group of the most normal men I have ever met.



Competing interests: Pete and I are hoping our AM details are made public. We'd like to achieve some sort of notoriety amongst our close friends at the very least.
