Cyber infidelity is on the rise

Infidelity is on the rise. The fast growth rate can be explained by several trends, including a huge increase of female infidelity globally and substantial increase of mobile use and Internet access both away from home and at home.

That’s a lot of people interacting and cheating on a daily basis around the world. This on-line behavior has prompted local sexologist, Marlene Wasserman, founder of the Dr. Eve brand, to research this phenomena and to use her findings to write a book about Cyber Infidelity.

"To get to the core of Cyber Infidelity, I am utilizing the database of AshleyMadison.com, the largest online dating service for married people with 18 million registered subscribers." Says Marlene.

"I am examining attitudes and behavior around Cyber Infidelity, an under-researched field. I’m opening a research window into modern attachments, believing as I do, that we need to rewrite the script of expectations of modern marriage and relationships.  The incredibly high incidence of Cyber Infidelity urges us to relook this painful modern relationship truth."

To assist her in her research she has launched a brand new web-site called mycybersecret.com

The site offers a safe and private forum in which individuals can share their Cyber Infidelity secrets. 

Discussions, forums, live weekly chats, polls and articles will be used to gain more insight into how on-line infidelity is used and the impact it has on people’s lives off-line. Dr. Eve will also post weekly vlogs of her interviewing the ‘King Of Infidelity’, Noel Biderman, where she will questions him on all issues regarding infidelity and modern attachments.
