More than 280,000 people, 36 percent of them women, have signed up to ashleymadison.com since it was launched three weeks ago, and about 13,000 people have visited gleeden.com in its first week.

They follow the basic structure of most dating sites, where members publish profiles outlining their interests, passions and sexual proclivities.

But instead of singles, the pay-to-join sites specifically cater for married people looking for secret dalliances or long-term affairs.

"It is not in anyone's DNA to stay with the same person," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted ashleymadison.com founder Noel Biderman as saying.

"So this notion that [our site is] generating this kind of behaviour is wrong," he said.

American TV host Dr Phil McGraw agrees. Last week, the clinical psychologist known as Dr Phil told female viewers how to tell if their man would cheat on them.

He said men with a ring finger longer than their index finger have higher testosterone levels and were more likely to cheat. He also said that men with a short gene, the vasopressin receptor gene, were predisposed to infidelity.
