Married to a Conservative? They’re probably Cheating on you!

The key findings

* More than half of all married cheats are Conservative voters

* Labour supporters are the second biggest love-rats with nearly two-thirds of them women

* Out of the top 6 political cheats, those that vote Green are the most faithful 

* Study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for extramarital affairs

If affairs are good enough for Boris, they’re good enough for his voters right? The public should have known that he is not to be trusted a long time ago,  judging by all the sordid affairs and betrayals in Boris’ private life. 

IllicitEncounters.com, a website dedicated to married men and women seeking affairs, surveyed 2000 members (split equally by gender) to shed light on the correlation between political affiliation and infidelity. 

Conservative voters are hands down the biggest love-rats in Britain. An astonishing 57% of adulterers align their political views with this right-wing party. There is little difference between men and women in the poll, though there were slightly more male conservative voters (53%) than females (47%). We have contacted the Conservative’s press office regarding the findings but they are yet to respond to a request for comment.

The second most unfaithful are Labour supporters (19%), with nearly two-thirds of these women (63%) compared to men (37%).

Liberal Democrats make up 9% of adulterers, with women (62%) taking the lead compared to men (38%).

Fourth place is the Scottish National Party supporters with 7% overall (made up of 59% men, 41% women), followed by the DUP 3.5% (made up of 56% men, 44% women).

Lastly, a meagre 0.5% of adulterers associate with the Green Party, making them the least likely to cheat in the top 6, (made up of men 20%, women 80%). 

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert for IllicitEncounters.com, said “From party gate to infidelity. Juicy scandals are ripe in our currently elected government, who seem to think they’re above the law, setting the bar rather low for what is permissible behaviour in society. 

Conservative? Perhaps it’s simply in your nature to cheat. Personally, I think it’s because they think they can get away with it, like Matt Hancock sneaking around at work.

Lies, betrayals and debauchery are ripe. Politicians behaving badly, it’s rather like a reality TV show, we simply cannot get enough of.

It’s not just party-gate that happens behind closed doors, affairs do too! As if things couldn’t get any worse for the tories. Want your partner to be faithful? Marry Green!”

I’m in the Office – Number 1 Lie Cheating Men use to have an Affair!

The key findings

* 1 in 3 men use ‘I’m in the office’ as an excuse to have an affair

* 89% of hybrid workers choose Mondays or Fridays to cheat instead of work

* Less than a quarter of adulterers feel guilty for cheating, however nearly all of them agree they’d feel guilty if they were caught red-handed

* Study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people

He’s not working from home, he’s having an affair!

There’s a lot of stigma that people who WFH don’t actually get any work done. IllicitEncounters.com can shed some light on this being partly true, for affair seekers anyway!

The cheating website, that’s solely for married people seeking affairs, conducted a poll with 2000 male members to reveal the most popular excuses men use to cheat.  

The survey found that most men lie that they’re going to work when actually they’re having an affair. A whopping 37% use ‘I’m in the office’ as an excuse to be unfaithful.

Out of those, 89% said they typically use this excuse on a Monday or a Friday – opting to have an affair on one of those days instead of actually going into the office. The word TW*T comes to mind, the term adopted for hybrid workers that don’t come into work either side of the weekend, only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Looks like being a TW*T is the perfect excuse to cheat on your wife.

The second most popular excuse used by affair-seekers is I’m at the ‘gym’ (29%), or at the ‘pub with a friend’ (17%). 

Only 5% of cheats say they are ‘working late’ to cover up their affair.

4% say they are ‘shopping’, instead of cheating, and 2% of adulterers use golf as an excuse – that’s one way to enjoy the 19th hole.

Less than a quarter of those surveyed feel guilty about their indiscretions (23%), however, nearly all of them 97% said they would feel guilty if their partner suspected them or found out about the affair. 

We also asked whether call-forwarding was something these men do to hide their tracks and 65% admit they use call-forwarding to their mobiles just in case they get an impromptu phone call from their wives whilst ‘in the office. 

Case Study 

Harry, 34, London

‘Since March our company has adopted hybrid working. It’s really up to us when we want to come in as long as we don’t take the mickey. On weekends the kids need constant attention and my wife always seems to find bits and bobs need fixing around the house, I can never catch a break. I’ve been having an affair with someone local for about 3 months. While her husband is at work and the kids are in school I’ll go round to hers. There really isn’t any other time we can afford without raising suspicion. I don’t feel guilty, what my wife doesn’t know isn’t going to upset her.’’

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said ‘A solid alibi for infidelity is important to these men, you can’t get any more solid than going to work. We all switch off from our lives when we’re at work and have been indoctrinated to never contact a spouse whose out making bread unless it is an absolute emergency. Wives aren’t bothering husbands who are making money. How are they to know they’re not needed in the office on any particular day?

The hybrid worker is an opportunistic adulterer. As a direct effect of the coronavirus pandemic, this unique excuse allows men to indulge in affairs while lying about where they are on the regular.

Going to the gym is the second most popular lie, but does require a bit of planning, not only do you need your sweaty gym kit, you also want to make sure you’re at least a little bit in shape, otherwise all these visits to the gym seem iffy.

Formerly ‘working late’ was a tried and tested excuse, but it hardly works these days. If your spouse is always working late, you will become suspicious. If your spouse, however, has simply gone to work and comes home on time every single day, what reason would you have to worry?

Lying has always been a necessity in adultery. If you’re going to cheat, don’t get caught!”

You Better Brie-leave it! Brie Eating Brits are the Biggest Cheats!

The key findings

* You better Brie careful – Brie is the number one cheese that adulterers eat!

* Second favourite cheese is Cheddar, followed by Red Leicester in third

* The most faithful in the top 10 are fans of Cheshire Cheese

* Poll conducted by IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading dating site for married people seeking affairs  

You’ve got to brie-joking! Nope, it’s a stone-cold fact. Lovers of Brie break the rules and cheat on their partners. 

A survey of 2,000 married men and women, who cheat, on extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com, has made shocking discoveries about infidelity and cheese.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Here’s the cheddar, or rather, the results, compiled and commented on by spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni:

98% of UK households include cheese in their grocery shopping with the average Brit eating 30g a day* but which cheese is favoured by unfaithful Brits?

Adulterers choose Brie as the number one cheese for cheats! A cow’s-milk cheese originating from France, Brie, gains a whopping 20% of the vote, you better brie-lieve it!

In close second is Cheddar, originating from the English village of Cheddar in Somerset, with a whopping 18% of affair-seeking Brits choosing this block of dairy as their favourite. You can’t go wrong with Cheddar, it’s an easy option cheese that goes with just about anything! 

Packed full of punch is Red Leicester, another English cheese, with its distinct flavour, in honorable third place (14%). 

Fourth place cheese for cheats is Mozzarella (11.5%), a traditionally Italian cheese, followed by Camembert (9.5%), originating from France, in fifth place.

Sixth place goes to English cheese Stilton (7%) with its rather overpowering flavour, followed by the French cheese Comté (6%) in seventh.

Feta, originating from Greece, comes in eighth overall (4%) and Gruyère cheese (3%), a Swiss hard cheese, in ninth place.

Last but not least is Cheshire Cheese which originates from England. Cheshire Cheese eaters are the most faithful in the top 10 for cheese-loving cheats with only 1% and in tenth place.

With the days getting longer it’s a good time for some al fresco dining, with cheese and wine being a popular pastime in the summer month. Should we be meticulously checking the picnic basket or the cheese board for signs of adultery? I’ll leave that one down to you. All I know is if it’s brie you’re looking for, you better brie careful.

Let’s put the record straight, we all love a bit of cheese! The cheesier the better. If your partner devours Cheshire Cheese and skips the others – it’s probably safe to assume they are not cheating on you.

Top Cheese favoured by Cheats!

Brie 20%

Cheddar 18%

Red Leicester 14%

Mozzarella 11.5%

Camembert 9.5%

Stilton 7%

Comté 6%

Feta 4%

Gruyère cheese 3%

Cheshire Cheese 1%

Other 6%

Chelsea SCORES ahead of the FA Cup Final Vs Liverpool as the Sexier Football Team!

The key findings

*Chelsea’s Édouard Mendy wins top 10 sexiest football player out of the Chelsea and Liverpool teams ahead of the FA CUP final

* Second sexiest is Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah followed by Chelsea’s Jorginho
* Chelsea is the overall sexier team in the top 10

* 2 out of 3 people think Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is sexier than Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel

* Poll comes from 1200 female members on IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading married dating site 

In advance of the FA Cup final match this weekend between Liverpool and Chelsea, IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, polled 1200 female members to determine who the nation finds the sexiest out of the players from the Liverpool and Chelsea football teams.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni, has compiled and commented on the results below:

Chelsea’s goalkeeper, Édouard Mendy, comes in first place with 17% of the vote. Mendy’s is the story of the underdog, who went from nearly quitting football and having to go on the dole, all whilst expecting his first child, to being at the top of his game. His rise to football stardom is admirable. Tall, dark and handsome, paired with a sexy french accent – no wonder Brits are entranced by Édouard Mendy.

A close second with 16% of the vote is Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. Salah is undeniably sexy, the beard, the hair, abs so firm you could literally grate cheese off – graphic but accurate. Indeed, Brits are besotted by this Egyptian God.

In third place (13%) is Chelsea’s Jorginho, whose real name is Jorge Luis Frello Filho. Last year Jorginho won the award for Best Fifa Men’s Player and the UEFA Player of the Year. This young, gorgeous Italian stallion has stolen England’s hearts with his undeniable football skills, along with his chiseled physique and cheeky smile. 

Fourth place is Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson (11%).

Fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth, are all Chelsea players – Timo Werner (9%), Kai Havertz (8.5%), Reece James (6.5%) and Mason Mount (6%).

Second, to last is Liverpool’s Alisson Becker with 4%. Last place and tenth is the Liverpool player Trent Alexander Arnold (2%). 

The respondents were also asked to vote on the sexiest manager from each team. A whopping 68% voted Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp sexy compared to only 32% voting for Chelsea’s Thomas Tuschel. 

Jürgen Klopp is a grey-haired German hunk who looks strong and manly, a force to be reckoned with, top this off with a sexy pair of specs and the man exudes intelligence and confidence. 

Thomas Tuchel, also German, on the other hand, is just not that sexy. How can the nation be a fan when his own team hates him for ruining their day off recently – he gives me strict teacher vibes putting Chelsea in detention like that!

Top 10 Sexiest Men 

Édouard Mendy – Chelsea – 17%
Mohamed Salah – Liverpool – 16%

Jorge ‘Jorginho’ Luiz Frello Filho – Chelsea – 13%

Andrew Roberston – Liverpool 11%

Timo Werner – Chelsea- 9%

Kai Havertz – Chelsea – 8.5%

Reece James – Chelsea  – 6.5%

Mason Mount – Chelsea – 6%

Alisson Becker – Liverpool 4%

Trent Alexander Arnold – Liverpool 2%

Other 7%

Who’s the sexier manager?

Jürgen Klopp – Liverpool – 68%

Thomas Tuchel – Chelsea – 32%

Brits Vote on the World’s Sexiest Accents

The key findings

* Britain votes French as the sexiest female accent in the world, followed by Italian and Norwegian

* Sexiest male accent goes to the Irish, followed by South African and French

* 81% of people agree that accents play a major part in a person’s datability

* The results come as part of a survey of 2000 people on lllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people.

Have you ever found someone sexy until… they opened their mouth? We’ve all been there. Attraction isn’t just based on looks and Brits get turned on by an accent.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people, surveyed 2000 members to find the foxiest twang in the world for vocal chord victory. 

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Sex and relationships expert for the website, Jessica Leoni, has compiled and commented on the results below:

81% of people agree that accents play a major part in a person’s datability, but what accent is the sexiest? 

Parlez-vous français? Oui? Très magnifique! French is crowned the language of love with nearly a quarter (24%) of all men finding this to be the sexiest language of them all! The French speak in a breathy and husky tone, with pronunciation that is delivered poetically, it’s enchanting. If that’s not hot, I don’t know what is. Notable French celebrities, whose accents are as seductive as anything, include award-winning actresses Marion Cotillard and Juliette Binoche, as well as the most recent Bond girl Léa Seydoux.

In second place is the irresistible Italian accent with 16% of the vote. Notable Italian celebrities include Sophia Loren, one of the greatest female stars of classical Hollywood Cinema, her accent is so inviting and seductive, even at the grand age of 87. Another prominent Italian fashion model and former Bond girl is Monica Belluci, let’s be honest, if the Italian accent is good enough for James Bond – who are we to argue.

The third place for female accents goes to Norway (13%). Brits are obsessed with Nordic countries since series such as Vikings and The Last Kingdom have boosted their popularity. A Scandinavian accent on a gorgeous blonde and blue-eyed woman gives us those Viking vibes, no wonder men are captivated.

Fourth place goes to Irish accents with 11.5%, fifth to Australian (8.5%), and sixth to Spanish (7%).

Next, in seventh place is the Dutch accent  (6.5%), followed by Portuguese eighth (4%). 

Second, to last place is Scottish (3.5%) and last but not least is American (1%).

In the men’s category, the lucky Irish accent is the sexiest of them all! A whopping 21% of British women find Irish to be the most desirable accent on a man. Such as the likes of actors Liam Neelson, Cillian Murphy and Colin Farrel.

The second sexiest male accent is South African (20%). The South African accent has unique tones, very approachable and friendly, no wonder women are drawn to it. 

Honorable third place goes to men with a French accent (16%) – ooh la, la! French-speaking, french-kissing, Frenchman? Enchanté! Take Emmanuel Macron the French president, for example, love him or hate him, his accent definitely makes the news more riveting. 

The fourth-place sexiest male accent is Scottish with 10.5% of the vote, followed by Canadian in fifth (7%). Italian comes in sixth sexiest accent (5.5%), followed by Welsh in seventh (4%) and New Zealand in eighth (3.5%).

Spanish ranked second to last in ninth place (2.5%) and finally Polish in tenth overall sexiest (2%).

The respondents were also asked if they have ever rejected someone on the basis of their accent and more than half said they have (59%). A further 30% of people admit they’ve been on a date before with someone whom they didn’t understand because of a strong accent.

It’s apparent that accents play a highly critical role in how attractive we find people. It can make or break the beginnings of a romantic rendezvous. If their voice doesn’t feel like music to our ears then listening to them speak could become a massive turn-off. 

Accents which are from a foreign country can be especially seductive. They make your date exude an air of sophistication, and feel exotic and worldly, which is sexy in its own right. 

We as humans are inherently attracted to people who we deem to have lots of ambition and life experience. Somebody who speaks English with a foreign accent gives the impression they have seen the world, they are interesting and they are smart – of course we will find that unbearably sexy.

Hear, Hear, Lawyers, Win the Sexiest Profession of the Year! 

The key findings

* Lawyers have been voted the sexiest profession in annual survey
* Doctors and CEO’s round off the top 3, followed by Builders and Firefighters
* Estate Agents rank last with only 2% of women finding them sexy
* Results come from a study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, surveyed 2000 women to discover which male profession is the sexiest in 2022. 

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Sex and relationships expert for IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni has compiled and commented on the results below:

Will the defendant please rise – the verdict is… guilty! Lawyers are the sexiest profession of the year. Accounting for a whopping 20% of the vote – women find men in the courtroom the sexiest of them all, case closed. 

What’s up Doc? We’ve run the diagnostics and the results confirm second sexiest profession are the men in white – Doctors – with 18% of the vote. 

CEO’s turn heads with 15% of the vote and in honourable third place.

Can he fix it? Yes, he can! Builders are hot property in fourth sexiest jobs with 12%. 

Turn up the heat!  Firefighters come in fifth sexiest (9.5%). On a primal level, a Firefighter is in every woman’s fantasy. The masculine physique, the muscle and sweat combined with raw unbridled passion… okay, a little carried away there, but what’s not to like?

Women think Footballers are fit, scoring sixth place (7%). It’s plain to see that fame and fortune help with sex appeal.

Teachers score seventh sexiest profession (5%), seems the ladies are up for a little bit of detention, naughty. 

On the less sexy scale are Financial Advisors with only 3% of the vote in eighth place. Economics? Boring. With everything getting more expensive and people are scrimping for cash – seems we’ve all had enough of talking about money. 

999, call the Police! Or don’t for that matter… we’d rather avoid a copper as only 2.5% of women find the five-o sexy. Cops have had a bad rep over the last few years in Britain, with overall confidence in the police dropping year on year since 2017, as reported by the ONS*, it’s clearly had an effect on their desirability. 

In last place with 2% of the vote, it seems Estate Agents are a bit of a turn-off. These notorious charmers often misinterpret the facts to get a quick sale, and with rent and house prices continuing to go up it’s no wonder we’re not the biggest fans of these smooth-talking salesmen. 

It’s not just ripped, topless men that make the cut, attraction is so much more than that. Sure the physical is important, but women want more than a hunk – and this list makes that fact indisputable.

Lawyers and Doctors coming out on top suggest it takes more than a beefcake to turn a woman on. Confidence, intelligence, philanthropy, and wealth – are more important qualities that make up a man’s sex appeal, and what men do for work speaks volumes.

The Grass isn’t Greener: Married Men Cheat with Exes and Regret Splitting Up!

The key findings

* 34% of married men regret breaking up with their ex!

* ‘I miss them’ number one reason for cheating with an ex-missus, followed by the claim that the sex is better and it’s an easy lay!

* 24% of male love-rats have cheated on their current spouse with an ex

* Results are from a new survey of 800 men by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

The grass is always greener on the other side… not!

The USA celebrates National Ex-Spouse Day tomorrow (Thursday, April 14th), would you believe it? In jest of this farcical holiday, IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading website for extramarital affairs, surveyed 800 married men (married in the last 3 years) who have supposedly moved on, to find out what they truly think about their exes! Do men who are cheating on their wives cheat with an ex? Still, miss their ex? Regret breaking up?

It’s every woman’s fear that they won’t live up to their partner’s ex. Turns out you are right to be worried as 34% of adulterous men actually regret splitting up with their ex-partner. With nearly a quarter (24%) admitting to being unfaithful to their current partners with an ex. Over half of those who had not cheated with an ex said they would if they were given half the chance (52%). These stats suggest the doors are never truly closed on an old flame even if you marry somebody else. 

The respondents who had cheated with an ex gave reasons as to what motivated them. The number one reason male love-rats cheat with an ex is that they miss them (39%). The second most popular claim is that the sex is better with their ex than with their current spouse (26%) followed by, it’s an easy lay that requires minimal effort (19%). A further 8% admit to cheating on their partner with an ex as a way of fulfilling a sexual fantasy or kink.

We also asked the respondents if it’s possible to be just friends with an ex and an overwhelming 73% of the adulterous men agree that it is absolutely impossible. 

Furthermore, we asked the men if they were ever caught slipping by calling their current wives by an ex’s name and a staggering 39% said yes! Probably the last thing you want to do if you’re having an affair with your ex.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, said “It’s risky business marrying a man that’s already been in a serious relationship or worse, a divorcee. A man with an ex-missus is a man with baggage and a shocking amount haven’t gotten over their ex. 

Why do men regret breaking up with their exes? Perhaps it’s taken marrying someone else to find the grass only looked greener from the other side. 

Either way, it’s easy to slip under the covers with an ex when things aren’t going so well at home, old habits. They know to satisfy you, how to push the right buttons.

If both parties are game it can be a very safe and fulfilling affair, but if one person wants to get back together then you’re treading dangerous territory. Oh and be careful to not call your spouse by your ex’s name, especially when having sex, that’s a big no-no!”

‘My ex Georgie and I were never a good match. We fought constantly, couldn’t agree on a damn thing. I was happy with my new wife Sam for a time. We’re more compatible, but the chemistry isn’t there the same way it was with Georgie.

Six months ago I hooked up with Georgie. We bumped into each other at a mutual friends’ and one thing led to another. It’s happened a handful of times since. We have fantastic sex and I miss her very much. I hate that it’s so good. We’re like magnets that are drawn to each other. I do sometimes wonder about getting back together.’

You’re more likely to be a love rat if you own a cat!

The key findings

*  Women who own cats are the most likely to cheat!
* The second most adulterous pet parents have fish at home
* Those that own dogs are the most loyal
* Study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people in search of affairs


Turns out dogs are man’s best friend, as women who own cats are nearly twice as likely to stray!

A recent survey of 1400 female members of IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people, has shown the link between pet ownership and infidelity. 

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert for IllicitEncounters.com, has compiled and commented on the results below:

It may be an idea to vet what pet your partner owns to avoid being cheated on! 

The cat is out of the bag. Feline friends are the most unfaithful bunch with a whopping 22% of cat owners cheating on their husbands compared to any other pet parent, be warned.

And if you think something fishy is going on when your wives aren’t at home you’re probably right. The second most unfaithful pet parents are women who own fish (19%).

Female love rats that own rodents such as guinea pigs, rats and hamsters, come in third place with 16.5%.

You would be forgiven if you took your wife for a snake, as many as 15% of cold-blooded adulteress’ own reptiles such as snakes, geckos, turtles and lizards. 

Chicks who cheat that own birds at home make up 13.5% of pet parents. 

Last but not least are dog owners (12%). A woman with a canine companion is least likely to stray out of all the pet parents. The beloved pooch is renowned for its loyalty and so it seems are their doggy mums. Oh yes, you’ve been a very, very good boy Fido.

These days you need to beg the question, when dating, are you a dog or a cat lady?


Case Study

Camilla, 42, Turbridge Wells

Cat owner using IllicitEncounters.com said:

“We’ve always owned cats. I couldn’t deal with a dog they’re too high maintenance. Cats are independent and easy to take care of – does that leave more time for an affair? In a way, I suppose it does. I am a freedom seeker – I cannot stand feeling suffocated.

It’s not that I don’t love my husband but I sometimes feel trapped. Having a lover and secret life gives me that adrenaline buzz I need to feel alive.

I guess me and my cat have that in common – a life outside of the house that nobody knows about”

Does he drink Tetley? He’s having an affair!

The key findings

* 2 out of 3 affair-seeking men prefer tea over coffee
* Tetley is beloved by men who betray their wives 
* Men that love a Scottish Blend brew are the most faithful in Britain
* A quarter of men actually prefer sober dates that involve zero alcohol! 
* The results come from a brand new survey conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people


Beware of a man that drinks tea instead of coffee – he may be cheating on you! 

IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading dating website for married people, surveyed 1000 members to discover the top brew drunk by unfaithful men. 

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Sex and relationships expert for IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni has compiled and commented on the results below:

You can now spot a cheat by a hot mug of tea as 66% of male love rats prefer tea over coffee.

Affair-seekers are in favour of Tetley over any other brand of tea (23%), making Tetley the number one cuppa for cheating British men! Perhaps they should change their ad campaign to ‘For the love of extramarital affairs, for the love of Tetley!’

Second place goes to the quintessentially English tea Twinnings (21%). Holder of a royal warrant – which means that this tea supplies her majesty Queen Elizabeth and those that dwell at Buckingham palace. History is rife with scandalous No surprise there then! Royal romances and sordid affairs go hand in hand – all the way from Henry VIII to Prince Charles. 

Affair seekers don’t monkey around when it comes to a hot cuppa PG Tips – coming in at a respectable third (16%) favourite tea! 

Fourth place goes to Pukka tea (8%), followed by Typhoo (6.5%) in fifth and Lipton (4%) in sixth.

Seventh and eighth place go to Clipper (2.5%) and Whittards (2%) – both on the rather low end of preferences.

Last but not least, a partner that drinks Scottish Blend tea is the most likely to be faithful out of the top 10, with only a meagre 1% of love rats enjoying this Scottish brew.

26% of the men surveyed said they actually much preferred going on dates that involve no alcohol. Out of these 90% said not drinking meant they won’t have any beer goggles and 67% said not drinking meant they wouldn’t make a fool out of themselves. 

The great English musician Sting, known to have had an affair on his ex-wife Frances Tomelty with actress Trudie Styler, once sung the lyrics ‘‘I don’t drink coffee I drink tea, my dear…’, let’s just leave that one there. The proof is in the Tetley!’

Favourite Tea

Tetley 23%
Twinings 21%
PG Tips 16%
Yorkshire 12.5%
Pukka 8%
Typhoo 6.5%
Lipton 4%
Clipper 2.5%
Whittards 2%
Scottish Blend 1%
Other 3.5%

Meat Eaters are Selfish Lovers, whilst Vegans have the most Sex!

The key findings

* Meat-eaters have the least amount of sex and are selfish in bed

* Vegans get down and dirty way more than meat-eaters, pescatarians, or vegetarians, not only that – they’re the most satisfied in their sex lives!

* Study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading dating site for married people

IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading dating site for married people polled 1200 members (married in the last five years) split equally by meat-eaters, pescatarians, vegans and vegetarians on their bedroom antics to ascertain whether there is a correlation between the things that we eat and the sex that we have. 

The study found that meat-eaters have the least amount of sex compared to their fish and veggie-eating counterparts, with the majority of meat-eaters (51%) getting down and dirty only 1-2 times a week. Famous meat-eaters include Rihanna, Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey.

The majority of pescatarians (39%) and vegetarians (43%) tied on how often they enjoy the act of love, with the bulk of each attesting to having sex 3-4 times a week.

Vegans are the raunchiest lot with a whopping 36% claiming they have sex 5-6 times a week. Famous vegans include Ariana Grande, Brad Pitt, Russel Brand and Miley Cyrus. 

A gleeful 81% of vegans reported that they are very satisfied in their sex lives, compared to a miserable 57% of meat-eaters. 

Vegetarians were pretty happy too with 77% saying they are very satisfied with their sex lives. 

Pescatarians were somewhere in between meat-eaters and vegans with an honorable 68% very satisfied.

Vegans (63%), vegetarians (55%) and pescatarians (51%) claim they are givers in bed rather than takers, only 41% of meat-eaters describe themselves as givers – suggesting that meat-eaters are selfish in bed.

The respondents were also asked how adventurous they thought they were in sack on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being vanilla and not wanting to try out new things in bed and 10 being extremely adventurous, open to new experiences and kink! 

Vegetarians are by far the most adventurous scoring on average 8 out of 10 on the kink-o-metre. Joint second are pescatarians and vegans scoring a 6 on average. Lastly are the meat-eaters, who only saw themselves as medium kinky with 5 on average for bedroom adventurousness.

Katie, 50, Devon said “If you eat crap you’re going to have rotten sex, really. You are what you eat and ain’t nobody is interested in sleeping with someone who lives off quarter pounders and sausage rolls!”

Georgette, 31, London said “I didn’t have a very high sex drive when I still ate meat. I quit 2 years ago and not only do I want to have sex more but I actually enjoy it better. I don’t feel so heavy, I like my body and I have tons more energy.’ 

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said “Plant-based eaters might scorn one sausage over another, wink wink, but they do indeed make the best lovers and have the most sex!

Our relationship with food has been pivotal to our sex lives since the dawn of time. Food affects our libido, stamina and perhaps even what type of hanky panky we choose to have. 

We’ve all been there – out with our partner enjoying a mixed grill platter, wagyu beef, mutton chops, you name it. You get home and you’re getting hot and sweaty for all the wrong reasons. Sex is the last thing on anybody’s mind. Probably why meat-eaters are selfish in bed – the food coma means all their capable of is receiving pleasure rather than giving it!”
