> The extensive survey of people using Ashley Madison, a website for facilitating extramarital affairs... I don't see how we could extrapolate from that

  There are many curious stats that come out of this. About 60% of the people have "not found an affair partner" which makes me wonder if they have really cheated yet. In one sample 20% of people have "met in person" and 30% have "had sex", so presumably the "sex" is sexting or phone sex. Maybe I am old fashioned but that seems different from doing it for real. (... there's kind of a reverse "euphemism treadmill" here in that it used to be a "sex worker" was a prostitute who actually had sex and now a "sex worker" is someone who performs on the internet.)
