Libras are said to become quickly infatuated by people, and Michaela, a Libra using the site, revealed that she loved the 'rush' of cheating when she first slept with a work colleague five years ago.
'I first cheated on my husband, with a work colleague, at a Christmas party five years ago,' said Michaela. 'It was such a rush, having this dirty little secret.
'Nowadays I only cheat with married men - that way you both stand to lose a lot, and are less likely to get caught.
'I'm never going to leave my husband, but I just can't help that I am much more adventurous and need more sex than he does.'
Meanwhile Cecilia, a Gemini using the site, explained that she doesn't believe in monogamy, and that her husband is totally on board with having other sexual partners.
'I have always felt that monogamous relationships are a thing of the past', she said. 'Me and my husband both date other people, but we are each other's primary relationship.
'We absolutely adore each other, and would never leave our marriage - but we both feel that variety is important in life.'
