I tried marriage cheating site Ashley Madison, again, and still found it to be surprisingly pleasant

I'm happily married.

But if I weren't there are a number of online dating sites that help married people have affairs.

Using such a site has become increasingly risky. One of the best known, Ashley Madison, was recently hacked and the identity of its 37 million members is now being leaked onto the internet.

A couple of years ago, I went under cover (so to speak) on Ashley Madison and had a look around using a fake name and photo.

I did use a real email address that I've owned for years - and yes, my email address was captured in the hack.

I reported at the time that I was surprised at what a pleasant experience it was. After the hack, I was contacted by all sorts of people asking me questions about the site. So, it seemed like a good time to go back to Ashley Madison and look around.

A few things: Because I was posing I was as respectful as possible. I didn't respond to emails look at anyone's private, and possibly pornographic, photos, and I didn't post fake porn photos either. And obviously, I didn't actually date anyone. So, take this for what it is: Just a peek at the site and the world of online infidelity dating.

That said, the following slides do contain some racy and sexual content.
