The Strictly Curse Strikes: Public LOVE Ravishing Ranvir

The key findings

The Strictly Curse Strikes: Public LOVE Ravishing Ranvir

* Ranvir Singh and Giovanni Pernice – most likely pair to have an affair!
* Men find ravishing Ranvir most desirable, Jacquie Smith – not so much
* Women fancy Jamie Laing, over Bill Bailey
* Poll comes from 2000 members on IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading married dating site

Who is next to be struck down by the Strictly curse? The recent survey was conducted with 2000 adulterers on IllicitEncounters.com, the U.K’s leading dating website for married people.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

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

You heard it from the horse’s mouth! There’s no better judge on who falls under the Strictly curse next, than the cheaters themselves, it takes one to know one.

First place goes to GMB presenter and married mother of two, Ranvir Singh, and dance partner Giovanni Pernice with an overwhelming 40% of the vote. In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Ranvir denied any strictly curse rumours – it’s safe to say we’re not convinced. The pair’s chemistry on stage is undeniable – that argentinian tango last week, and the near kiss at the end, set pulses racing.

Second place is Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing and dance partner Karen Hauer (29%). Nobody believes Jamie is set to propose to his girlfriend MIC co-star Sophie Habboo, that he shares a flat with.  I’m not buying him and dance partner Karen’s ‘sibling-like’ relationship, the two are overly playful, and playfulness plus adult fun are one and the same. Karen Hauer invited to the Laings for Christmas? More like cheat-mas!

Eastenders’ Maise Smith and dance partner Gorka Márquez make it in the top three with 12%, although rumours of a romance between her and HRVY are ripe – both young and unattached, we think they’d make a cute couple.

The pair least likely to have an affair are comedian Bill Bailey and dance partner Oti Mabuse (2%), great news for their spouses.

The 2000 respondents in the poll, split equally between men and women, were then asked on who is the sexiest out of all the 2020 Strictly contestants. 

In the women’s category, Ranvir Singh (17%) comes in first place as the sexiest Strictly contestant, who is effortlessly taking the country by storm. We simply cannot get enough of ravishing Ranvir.

Second place as voted by men is professional dancer Katya Jones (15%). Katya was famously unfaithful in the 2018 Strictly series, when she shared a passionate kiss with dance partner comedian Seann Walsh on a night out. To rub salt in the wound – the night it happened was Seann’s, then girlfriends, Rebecca Humphries birthday, ouch. Still, our men adore Katya, she’s exciting, rebellious, with a certain je ne sais quoi.

Eastenders fan favourite Maise Smith comes in third place with a respectful 13%.

First place in the men’s category is Jamie Laing with a whopping 23% of the vote. Unsurprising, Jamie Laing is cheeky, charming and has a cracking sense of humour, features women find irresistable.

Second and third place as voted by women are professional dancers Anton du Beke (21%) and Aljaž Skorjanec (13%).

Men find former home secretary and labour MP Jacqui Smith (1%) least sexy. Bless Jacqui, she’s absolutely lovely, but there just isn’t much sex appeal in politics.

Women find comedian Bill Bailey (2%) the least sexy.

UK’s Sexiest Politicians For 2020 Revealed

The key findings

* Rishi Sunak and Lisa Nandy top annual list of UK’s sexiest politicians
* Boris Johnson no longer found sexy, compared to 2019 when the public voted Boris most bed-able politician
* Conservatives Michael Gove and Theresa May voted as least desirable UK politicians
* Conservatives are the overall sexiest males and Labour are the sexiest females 
* Poll comes from 2000 members on IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading married dating site 

Politics has become a bit of a laughing stock in recent times, with nobody quite sure what is going on, one u-turn after another, after another. At least one thing’s for certain and that’s who is crowned sexiest politician in the UK 2020. 

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

The recent survey was conducted with 2000 adulterers on IllicitEncounters.com, the U.K’s leading dating website for married people. Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni has compiled and commented on the results below:

In the men’s category, Rishi Sunak has been voted the number one sexy politician of the year with over a quarter of the vote (26%). Nicknamed Dishy Rishi for his ongoing financial support of the public and businesses and coming up with novel ideas to kick start the economy. Our Chancellor is confident and decisive which exudes sex appeal, coming in first place puts him in the lead as potential next Prime Minister in our eyes.

Keir Stamer, the leader of the Labour party comes in second place (21%).

Third place goes to Conservative backbencher, Tobias Ellwood (18%). Ex-army captain in the The Royal Green Jackets, he has that military man vibe – strong, powerful and protective. A man in uniform – simply irresistible. Not only that, but he was hailed a hero for his bravery in the 2017 Westminster Bridge terrorist attack.

Conservative’s Dominic Rab comes in 4th place (13%), with rising star James Cleverly, also Conservative, taking the fifth spot (7%).

Lastly, Labour’s Ed Milliband is in 6th place (6%). A familiar face in politics and loser of the 2015 election, the public still appear to have a soft spot for this bacon sandwich munching politician.

In the female category, number one sexiest politician goes to Labour’s Lisa Nandy (24%). She is genuine, kind and sports a girl next door look which men find extremely appealing.

Labour’s Rosena Allin-Khan comes in at a respectable second place (20%). Rosena has won the hearts of the public recently with her work in St Georges Hospital in Tooting, putting in 12 hour shifts since the start of Covid-19, alongside her duties as an MP and shadow minister. 

Liz Kendall, Labour’s recently promoted shadow minister for social care comes in 3rd (18%) Previously linked with dating Taskmaster and Inbetweeners star Greg Davies.

Dawn Butler, a Labour party politician, comes in 4th place (16%), followed by Conservative Ester McVey in the 5th spot (12%).

Nicola Sturgeon, first minister of Scotland and leader of the Scottish National party makes 6th (4%) sexiest female politician overall. Scotland’s female braveheart, Nicola Sturgeon is a passionate and dedicated leader, caring more about the people than the economy. 

Participants of the survey were asked to vote for their least sexy politicians. Least sexy male politician goes to controversial Conservative Michael Gove (23%), the latest politician to have a puppet designed after them in the satirical show spitting image. Michael Gove contended that he is ‘incredibly flattered’ by his puppet version of himself in a news interview, though we cannot imagine what is so flattering about a face made out of genitals.

Conservative’s Matt Hancock, our Secretary of State for Health and Social Care comes in at second place (20%) for least sexy male politician. With his terrible handling of the coronavirus outbreak, his fanbase has not only diminished but he has become rather disliked, even an NHS executive has called him out saying “I have never seen such an empty vessel as a cabinet minister”.*

In third place comes Jeremy Corbyn (18%) – although his anti-semitic behaviour alone puts him number one in our minds.

Boris Johnson comes in at 4th place (14%).The public have lost confidence in our Prime Minister, after countless u-turns amidst the pandemic. Last year Boris was voted most bedable politician with a whopping 47% of people agreeing, now the UK has done a u-turn on Boris.

Nigel Farage, who has recently relaunched the Brexit party as Reform UK comes in 5th place (13%), followed by Liberal Democrat Tim Farron in 6th place (9%) overall.

In the female category, least sexy politician award goes to Theresa May (30%) – say no more. 

DUP’s Arlene Foster comes in second (22%) and in third (17%) is the shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds, Rishi she will never be.

4th place (11%) least sexy female politician goes to our Home Secretary, Priti Patel, who famously suggested building an asylum processing centre on Ascension Island, a 9 hour flight away. I’ll just leave this one here to sink in.

5th least sexy female goes to Labour’s Angela Rayner (9%), followed by Diane Abott, also Labour, in 6th place (7%).

Top Cheating Names Revealed – Has Yours Made The List?

The key findings

Top Cheating Names Revealed – Has Yours Made The List?
* The number one unfaithful names in the UK belong to Michael and Lisa!
* Followed by loverats David and Matthew, and Elizabeth and Michelle
* Results come from a sample of 3400 members of IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading dating website for married people

Can you spot a cheat by their first name? Turns out if your spouse is called Michael or Lisa – it’s best to keep an eye! These names are the UK’s most unfaithful.

IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s largest extra-marital dating site polled 3400 of its members for their first name, and discovered that there are names that are more likely to stray than others. 

Michael is the number one adulterous mens name of 2020, followed by David and Matthew.

For women, Lisa’s are the biggest cheats, with Elizabeth in close second, and Michelle in third place.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said “What’s in a name? Infidelity it seems.

I guarantee there’s at least one name on here that evokes pure malice for anyone reading, we’ve all been jilted by a name on this list. I dare say for me it’s Jack-the-lad – immediately I think, womaniser! I mean come on, why else did they name the philandering pirate of the carribean Captain Jack Sparrow? 

Michael tops the list as adulterous name of the year for men, I know for a fact a few of my pals would agree, followed by David – tick, and Matthew – tick, sounds about right.

Started dating someone called Lisa, Elizabeth, or Michelle? You’re asking for trouble, as these three ladies names belong to the most unfaithful. Does your name make the list? It did make me laugh to see mine on there!”

Tall Men are More Likely to Cheat!

The key findings

* Taller men are more likely to have an affair, new research has revealed
* 6ft 1” is the height most likely to be unfaithful, as well as the height that women find most attractive in a man
* Men who are 5ft 2” and under are the most faithful in Britain
* 79% of women said that they would not date someone who was shorter than them
* The findings come from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

Size really does matter when looking for a faithful partner. Evidence suggests that there is a connection between a man’s height and the likelihood of them having an affair. 

IllicitEncounters.com surveyed 4000 male members and found that those 5ft 10” and over are nearly twice as likely to cheat than their shorter counterparts.

The most common height for adulterous men is 6ft 1” with nearly a quarter of men in this category (23%)

No men in the sample were shorter than 5ft 3”, making 5ft 2” and under the most faithful height in the UK.

Only 32% of male love rats are between 5ft 3” and 5ft 9”.

The results of the study also correlate with various celebrity cheats, Dominic West, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Tiger Woods and Arnold Schwarzenegger all 6 foot and over.

An additional 800 women were surveyed on whether they believe height to be a factor of a man’s dateability, with 79% of women agreeing they would not date a man shorter than them.

The majority of women agreed that 6ft 1” is the sexiest height on a man (37%).

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said “Short men just don’t have much luck with the ladies, of course they are less likely to have an affair – they’re less desirable.

Let’s face it, we’re all looking for Mr.Tall, Dark and Handsome, married or not! Of course if Mr.Tall gets more attention from women he is then more likely to cheat. Height also gives men confidence which is an attribute that women find irresistible.

Short men on the other hand are at risk of developing a Napoleon complex – where they make up for their physical shortcomings with an overly assertive personality, not the sexiest quality. Not living up to the traditional gender norms can totally emasculate a man, no wonder shorter men are sticking to monogamy.”

Women Vote Blue Eyes as Sexiest Feature on a Man!

The key findings

*  Eyes are the sexiest feature women look for in a man
*  Dad bods are in, and six packs are out!
*  Shockingly veins make it into the top 10, and hands are not sexy at all
*  The results comes as part of a survey of 1200 people on lllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading extramarital dating site

Eyes come in top place with 15% of the vote for sexiest feature on a man. With more than half of women agreeing that blue is the most attractive eye colour (52%). Perhaps the attraction to somebody’s eyes is more prevalent now we’re seeing so much of them behind masks.

Nice lips comes in second top feature (12%), followed by a strong jawline (10%).

Dad bods come in at 9th place with a respectable 6%, compared to only 2% of women voting for a man with a six pack (14th sexiest feature overall).

Veins are worth a mention, coming in at 10th place and 5% of the vote.

Hands come in last with only 1% of the vote.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said “It’s all in the eyes, blue eyes in fact! Lips are sexy, so is a strong jawline – the face is winning prizes out here. 

What’s also interesting is dad bod is listed in the middle, compared to a six pack which is second to last on the list. Dad bods are comforting and homey, whereas a six pack is just intimidating. Nobody fancies a man who counts calories.

Who knew veins were so important? They are a sign of strength and health, and women are attracted to strong men.

Lucky for those with ugly hands – it seems they’re not important at all.”

Members of IllicitEncounters.com have voiced their opinions:

Louisa, 34, Bradford
“The first thing I notice in a man is their eyes, especially blue. You get lost in that ocean, and then boom, you’re in love, spellbinding. What is even coming out of his mouth? Who cares, his eyes do all the talking!”

Charlie, 39, London
“You can tell everything about a man just by looking into his eyes, they’re the window to the soul. The next best thing for me is veins, I know it’s a tad weird, but I find something really masculine and sexy about prominent veins.”

Kathleen 43, Bristol
“Six packs are not attractive to me, they just scream high maintenance. I prefer someone who’s a little more round in the middle – someone I can enjoy eating with.”

These are the qualities that women find most sexy in a man.

Cheating Soars As Schools Reopen

The key findings

*32% increase in registrations on married dating site IllicitEncounters.com as schools reopen
*Over a quarter of parents have cheated straight after the school run
*Bored housewives make up 70% of registration surge 

IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading married dating site has seen a 32% spike in the first week of September, as parents of kids returning to school desperate to find an affair partner.

Women account for 70% of new registrations in the first week of September.

44% increase in activity on the website, as parents rush to exchange messages to set themselves up with a date, now there are less childcare commitments.

IllicitEncounters.com surveyed 400 of its members who have all had their kids return to school in the last week and found that 27% have cheated in the last 7 days – immediately after the school run.

Another 22% of parents have enjoyed some extracurricular fun once they’ve dropped the kids back home with their husband or wife.

Only 31% have not yet embarked on a physical affair in the last week.

Olive, a mother using IllicitEncounters.com said “This has been literally the least pleasurable and longest summer on record. Homeschooling, virtual lessons, trying to occupy the kids while practically everything is closed. There’s been no break, no holidays abroad, just childcare, homecare and hell. I have never wanted kids to go back to school more in my life. I have been desperate to have an affair since March!”

Charlotte another member on the site said “Not only have I had to entertain the kids for months on end, but my husband has also been WFH – I have barely had a minute alone all summer. I started having an affair in January, that got cut short because of covid. Months of longing and anticipation, I’m finally seeing him this week after I drop the kids off to school!”

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said “Parents have never been this stressed. I can’t even imagine how hard the summer and lockdown has been for families – no peace and quiet, an endless stream of cooking, cleaning and washing, and what’s more – many parents are in disgruntled marriages who are simply at the end of their tether and need a release from the monotony of marital life. 

Now that children are going back to school of course housewives will take this opportunity to be kind to themselves and have an affair. Our members have been starved of intimacy, they’re seeking connection and chemistry – and quite frankly, some adult company.”

In the past 7 days when did you cheat?

Straight after the school run 27%

After school when I dropped the kids back with my husband/wife 22%

On my lunch break 14%

I have not physically cheated in the last week 31%

Other 6%

Brit’s Vote on the World’s Sexiest Accent!

The key findings

*79% of people agree that accents play a major part in a person’s datability 
*The sexiest female accent is German, and sexiest male accent is Scottish
*Irish fairs second best for female accents, and third for men’s
*American voted the least attractive accent
*The results comes as part of a survey of 2000 people on lllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

Can you be attracted to someone by the sound of their voice? Extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com has set tongues wagging in Britain as the public cast their vote on the most attractive accents.

A German accent is the most desirable accent on a woman, as voted by men. Second place is an Irish accent, and third place is French.

A Scottich accent is the sexiest accent on a man, as voted by women. Second place is South African, and third place is Irish.

72% of respondents agreed that Americans have the most undesirable accents in the world.

79% of people agree that accents play a major part in a person’s datability. 

62% of people have rejected someone on the basis of their accent.

24% of people admit they’ve been on a date before with someone whom they didn’t understand because of a thick accent.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said “Looks like French has been dethroned entirely as the language of love, with Brits preferring German and Scottish. 

I am unsurprised that Germanic is the most likely to arouse our British men, it’s dominant, icy – with a certain elusive quality, and isn’t it that men always want what they can’t have? 

Scottish men. Scottish Accents. Need I say more, really? The accent is enchanting, like a seductive highland spell sweeping over you, it has a very primal sexual quality to it. 

There’s no denying the Irish twang has always been popular, coming in at a respectable second and third place as the sexiest accent for both women and men. 

Why do so many of us dislike the American accent? As Brits we’re known for being overly polite with a dry sense of humour, which is worlds apart from the awkwardly loud and foul mouthed American lingo. It’s insufferable.”

Members of IllicitEncounters.com voice their reasons for their vote:

Amelia, 28, Southwold

“I fancy the pants off the Scottish accent. It’s rugged, wild and uninhibited, just how I like it!”

George, 40, Bath
“I cannot resist a German accent, it’s so direct and formal, it creates fantasies of power and control. What’s sexier than a dominant, self assured woman?”

Harriet, 36, London

“French is like music to my ears, elegant and sophisticated. I find the French in general to be very passionate. Romancing in French possesses that certain je ne se quois that provokes lust you know? It’s irresistible.”

Vanessa, 50, Southampton

“I’ve always adored the South African accent. It is exotic, charming and unique. You can easily distinguish it in a crowd, it stands out.”

Patrick, 34, Manchester

“You just can’t beat an Irish accent. I think it’s the sexiest in the world.”

92% of people agree that track and trace is an invasion of privacy.

Only 48% of us think the government’s response to covid is going well.

72% of love rats in the UK feel no remorse for cheating on their partners.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni, explains: “The public do not want to divulge their personal details, with most people agreeing it’s a breach of privacy.

Sharing your whereabouts will feel intrusive for many people, not just for men and women who are having extramarital relationships. 

This strategy is only going to work if people are being deadly honest – and there is simply no way to monitor that. More needs to be done to protect the public then leaving your name and number.”

Members of IllicitEncounters.com have voiced their opinions on track and trace:

Daytona, 39, Bristol
“Is track and trace even legal? I feel like it’s pointless at this stage of covid. Maybe if there were only a handful of cases circulating sure, but in the UK it’s ineffective. I think we need to just trust people are being sensible.”

Christopher, 48, London
“Yea ‘course I’ve not put my real name or number down – what? For my wife to find out I’ve been cheating, don’t be daft. For all intended purposes, I use an alias, and that’s not going to change ‘cos of covid.”

Fatima, Glasgow, 52
“I fear sharing my real details with every establishment I go to – how is my data being used? I won’t do it, it freaks me out.”

George, Manchester, 29
“I have to leave my house to go to work, if I was forced to self-isolate on the off chance I may have come into contact with someone who has covid, I could risk losing my job. It’s not worth it.”

Relationships are Unhappier Since Pandemic

What the numbers show

 * 23% increase in marriage breakdowns amidst the pandemic
* 71% of people agree coronavirus has made their relationship worse
* Women are twice as likely than men to demand a break up
* Study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s largest extramarital dating site

IllicitEncounters.com has seen a 23% increase of members changing their status from Married to Separated between the months of May and July compared to the same time last year.

It is unsurprising that more women than men changed their status to separated, with another study by a law form concluding two thirds of all divorces are initiated by women*

A further 800 members of the website were surveyed and staggering 71% of those agree they are less happy in their relationship as a direct result of coronavirus, suggesting that marriages have become toxic and unbearable in the lockdown. 

Those who agreed covid-19 has made their relationships worse, were asked what they are planning to do to improve their relationship satisfaction, with 42% admitting they hope an affair will make their marriage happier, and a further 22% are simply sticking around to see if things improve.

Kelsey, a member on IllicitEncounters.com said “We argue at the best of times, but covid has made our arguments worse. We can’t escape and let off some steam, I never realised till now how important that is. I don’t know how much more of this I can take.”

 Frank, another member on the site said “If it wasn’t for covid I’d have no reason to leave my wife, but the lockdown has opened my eyes to a lot of our relationship issues, issues I’ve ignored or buried in the past. It’s weird breaking up during a pandemic, but I think it’s a good thing.” 

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

IllicitEncounters.com sex and relationships expert Jessica Leoni said “Couples who probably wouldn’t even have dreamt of breaking up – are now running for the hills. If there were any issues before, they’ll have been amplified tenfold during the lockdown. Even the most secure relationships will have felt torturous at times.

Those who have decided to stay together, and sought out an affair instead, may just be able to save their marriages before it’s too late.”

Results

Out of the 71% who acknowledged their relationship is unhappier since covid-19 – we asked the following:

What are you planning to do to improve your relationship satisfaction?

I’m hoping an affair will make my marriage happier 42%

I’m simply sticking around to see if things improve 22%

Nothing -I love them, I don’t think I’ll ever leave them 17%

We’re going to have an open relationship 10%

I’m hoping to find someone to replace my partner 6%

Other 3%

Cheating Could Cause a Second Spike!

What the numbers show

* 41% of adulterers set to book sex-getaways from the 4th of July
* 16% of love rats have no qualms about meeting more than one household for affairs
* Over half of those surveyed are not socially distancing when meeting lovers
* Study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s largest extramarital dating site

Can you expect cheaters to stick to the rules? Love rats across the UK shun guidelines for intimacy – amidst the pandemic. A British legal firm has seen a 42% increase in divorce inquiries* since restrictions began, indicating that marriages are becoming unbearable in lockdown, these relationship breakdowns are making the need to cheat prevalent.

With lockdown restrictions easing this weekend, IllicitEncounters.com predicts cheating may cause a second spike.

600 members of the site were surveyed regarding how they are managing their affairs, and their feelings about dating during the covid-19 outbreak.

82% of adulterers admit to feeling less lonely since the lockdown restrictions have eased.

54% admit they have not been socially distancing when meeting.

A whopping 41% of adulterers are looking to book a staycation in the UK with their mistress or histress.
16% of adulterers admit they have no qualms about meeting more than one household for affairs.

33% of affair seekers already have a date planned for next week when restaurants and pubs are open.

72% of affair seekers are aware they are breaking guidelines to cheat.

83% think the reward of having an affair far outweighs the risk of contracting covid-19.

22% of cheats have self administered coronavirus tests to check they are in the clear before seeing their lovers.

England’s Chief Medical Officer, Christ Whitty has recently warned that “If people hear a distorted version of what’s being said, that says ‘this is all fine now, it’s gone away’ and start behaving in ways that they normally would have before this virus happened, yes, we will get an uptick for sure.”

Not everyone seems to be clear on what you should and shouldn’t do in the current climate. With many affair seekers choosing to cheat at this time, adultery could possibly contribute to a spike in coronavirus cases.

Gabrielle, a female member using IllicitEncounters.com said “I’ve been really well behaved during this lockdown, and feel it’s finally time to reward myself with a holiday in the countryside with a married man I’ve been seeing. I’m separated so I don’t need an excuse, and he’s just told his wife he’s visiting family in the area. I like dating married men because I don’t want the commitment of a full time relationship”

Emma, another female on the site said “My situation is different in the sense that I live with the person I’m cheating with. I’m in a long distance relationship with my partner who lives in Canada, and we’ve had no way of seeing each other for over 4 months. Me and my housemate really got on, and being cooped up inside all this time, well, things happen. I don’t regret it, I’ve been starved of intimacy so it’s been really great to have a physical relationship again. I still love my partner in Canada, and plan to reunite with him as soon as I can. I’ll obviously be keeping this affair a secret, the last thing I want to do is hurt him.”

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said “It’s interesting to see how affair seekers have continued to keep the spark alive in their relationship. I am delighted to hear that those who are lonely or disheartened at home are able to get some fulfillment from talking to their lovers, communication is truly important right now. Although, we do advise to listen to government guidelines on our website and if meets are unavoidable to adhere to social distancing – we must all practice staying safe.

Lockdown has caused many of us to make sacrifices, and despite the stigma associated with affairs – they are just as much a relationship as any other, and a lot of our members have been lacking that connection for a very long time.”
