I'm sorry my fellow men are so ill-mannered. However, this behavior is not limited to sex sites.
If your e-mail gets out, most often it falls into the hands of spammers (Low mortgage rates, Penis Enlargement, etc.). One trick I have used in the past is to set up a hotmail account. It's free, and if it gets full of little gollums, you can simply cast it into the fire along with them. This trick is useful in other areas, too. Another is to use a bayesian spam filter, which will recognize "Gollum" in his many forms, and trash their e-mails before they ever reach you.
I hope you have also reported your experience to Sylvie and Alain; I'm quite sure they will be very displeased with your correspondents, and may have something to say about it on abkingdom.
