The clientele ranges from early 20s to late 40s and a huge number are perfectly open about the fact that they have a partner at home.
For instance, 39-year-old James, who lives with his wife, Paula, and two young children in Devon, says that the more experimental nature of online women is what turns him on.
“The women I meet online are more experimental than any I’ve had a regular relationship with, including Paula,” News of the World quoted him, as saying.
“She wouldn’t want to do some of the stuff I enjoy, so this scratches that itch.
"Just knowing a woman loves sex so much she puts herself out there is a turn-on,” he added.
And it’s not just men who enjoy these undercover liaisons.
Lucy, 36, from Oxford, says she’s happier than she’s been in years after indulging in her first internet hook-up a few months ago.
“It sounds clichéd but David works away and isn’t very highly sexed – we only do it once a month,” she said.
“I talked online for several weeks to my first and so far only lover. We swapped photos before I agreed to meet him. I wanted to know he was genuine.
“There was no emotional bond, so we could demand exactly what we wanted without embarrassment, as well as acting out our fantasies. I don’t feel guilty, and I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time,” she added.
Emily Dubberley, author of Brief Encounters: The Women’s Guide To Casual Sex, said that the trend is not surprising at all.
“The internet offers instant intimacy – you can feel like you’ve got to know someone a lot more quickly because of the anonymous nature of the initial communication,” Dubberley said. (ANI)
