Didn't AdultFriendFinder's parent company boast of 1M+ paying members? Perhaps sites like these are only formalizing and bringing relative transparency to the way American society has been functioning for decades (or even longer)? Certainly rich men have had mistresses for quite some time. How did men find mistresses fifty years ago? Personal ads? Did women who wanted to be mistresses know at which Financial District bars they should hang out? Perhaps the more interesting question is how the "not talked about" sorts of relationships formed pre-Internet.
