Increasing numbers of people are signing up to adult dating websites to find sex partners for pleasure as well as for exercise, one online relationship portal has claimed.

According to My-Fbuddy.com, many folks are realising the opportunities such websites present, including the opportunity to put in a good workout and have a great time while doing so.

Founder of MyFbuddy, Andy Hammonds, states that the pressures people feel to look good means some will try anything to help them fit into what the modern world classes as being attractive.

"In today's society thousands of people are simply obsessed with their weight and with sex being such a good form of exercise, they are now signing up to adult dating sites as a way to enjoy themselves [and] also to lose or maintain weight," he claims.

Meanwhile, in other dating news, a recent study from Maximum Hair found that women in search of a partner on internet dating sites are nearly five times more likely to choose a man with hair on his head as opposed to someone who is thinning on top.
