Amid sluggish growth for dating Web sites, a different kind of matchmaking service is thriving online: so-called adult dating sites that dispense with courtship and urge members to head straight for the bedroom.
With names like AdultFriendFinder.com, SexSearch.com and IWantU.com, adult dating sites purport to help users find one-night stands, swinger parties and other sexual escapades. AdultFriendFinder, the most popular of the sites, draws 10.1 million unique visitors a month, according to Nielsen/NetRatings. That's twice the traffic of Match.com and Yahoo Personals, Nielsen says.
