It doesn't matter if it's illegal or not, it's going to happen.

People would use that site to find their next booty call. Or their next husband or wife.

I thought it was illegal, just not enforced..sort of like it's illegal to have sex with the woman on top.

I wonder if these are real.

Illegal in some states, but no one cares

From the link I posted earlier: "As the twenty-first century begins, adultery is still a crime in approximately half of the United States, and fornication is a crime in about one-third of the states."

Oh, go ahead and try it. I'm sure the guys (and their wives) could use a laugh.
