My wife is on Ashley Madison with my knowledge, not everyone on there is cheating. She joined as revenge for my indiscretions and now we both have a better understanding.
On AM women are free members so if there are bots it doesn’t affect her membership. We no longer hide our passwords and emails, we are an open book to the other with full permission to read everything.
There was a data breach years ago so she set up an email she only uses on the site and now has a cell exclusively for those she meets. She never put a credit card on her membership.
Not every man she meets is a scumbag. As @numex said about his wife and married men she met, men have reasons to be members. No sex at home, bad marriages, most men talk in bed about the why.
This is not swinging in the purest sense, it’s consensual sex outside of marriage. I have no desire or need to watch my wife have sex with others. I read on here how men want to watch their wives do things, multi-men, gang bangs, or enjoy being cuckolded, I don’t. The times we met others together I preferred separate rooms. I have been with her with men she met for threesomes that were strange for me but fun in that strange way.
Her meetings are set up now with me looking at the profiles and reading the texts of the men contacting her. I know where she is going and she only goes to better hotels, no hourly flea bag hotels. She has in her profile that she doesn’t want any long term relationships, one nighters are fine.
Ashley Madison is not for everyone, there are fakes on all sex sites. I have looked at joining for myself, it’s not cheap for men and possibly there are female bots to get men to spend credits, I never joined. Most of the men are cheaters which I feel is safer over single men, they have to go home with clean health records. The best men to play with for her are men who can financially go to better hotels and restaurants.
