The first estimate I see of worldwide Dutch speakers is ~23 million[0]. There's over 5 million Dutch speakers (Flemish) in Belgium alone.
So you're looking at somewhere between 15-20% of Dutch speakers have accounts, which seems more reasonable, particularly if some people have more than one account (very likely, I'm guessing).
Simple. Most accounts are fake. The thing with AFF is that it's paying top dollars in affiliate programs. So everyone and their dog are building a fake profile to lure some naive guys into buying a subscription.
Probably 90% bots and throwaway accounts.
You need to double that, unless you exclude females. Why do you stop at 55?
"15-24 years: 12.11% (male 1,050,889/female 1,010,596) 25-54 years: 39.83% (male 3,400,998/female 3,377,311)"
Thanks for correcting that. Doubling checking halves the estimate to just over 40%. Still high, but more likely (given the already mentioned bots/spammers/double accounts etc).
Indeed why stop at 55. Why shouldn't a pensionado be on a swinger site. Who am I to judge ;-)

When I moved to NL I was surprised to hear swinger/secret affair advertisements on the radio. I think a higher-than-average percentage of the Dutch population uses those sites compared to the US
I don't think it necessarily has something to do with there being more appetite for those sites here, but more with the prevalent hyperliberalism.
Personally, I find them disgusting and don't want them to be broadcast at daytime.
"but more with the prevalent hyperliberalism."
Would you expand on this?

Spammers?
Belgians?
This would mean that 80% of the Dutch adult population has an Adult Friend Feinnder account!? (Of course people may have multiple accounts, but still, 80% is when taking into account the full (men+women) population.)
