Expert Comment, Research & Media Resources on Modern Infidelity


They are more adventurous in bed and like sex more.
Almost six out of ten people (58%) say brunettes are better in bed.
The results are the same for men and women – just 16% chose blondes, followed by lovers with black (12%) and red hair (9%).
Four out of ten respondents (42%) say brunettes are more likely try new things in the bedroom.
And just fewer than half those polled (47%) also say that brunettes are the most sexually voracious.
The results are a resounding victory for brunette beauties such as Kate Beckinsale, Emily Blunt and Natalie Portman over blondes such as Scarlett Johansson and Cameron Diaz.
They are from a new survey of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people.
Blondes may not be best for sex but they are top when it comes to cheating.
Just over half those polled (54%) said blondes are the most unfaithful, followed by brunettes (26%) and those with black (12%) and red hair (8%).
The poll tested the truth about some of our other well-known sexual sayings.
You CAN laugh someone into bed.
Nine out of ten of us (91%) say that a sense of humour is a big factor when choosing a lover.
And a quarter of women (24%) say they would sleep with a man who is funny even if they aren’t attracted to his looks.
Don’t judge a potential partner’s prowess in bed by their moves on the dance floor.
Three-quarters of women (75%) and 63% of men say their best lover was a terrible dancer.
More than six out of ten of us (64%) say income is irrelevant, though a third (33%) admit it is a factor but not the main one.
More than a third of us (36%) say this is the case most of the time and 56% reckon it is sometimes true. Just 9% say quiet people are also shy in the bedroom.
Men really do think about sex more than women – with 59% admitting it is on their mind several times a day, compared to just 45% of women.
Christian Grant, spokesman for IllicitEncounters.com, said: “There is no doubt that blonde women get more interest from men on dating sites.
“But they are not likely to make the best lovers and they need watching carefully because they could be dating someone else at the same time.
“This new research from IllicitEncounters.com shows that brunettes might be the best options if you want to have fun on a date – and a great time in the bedroom.”
Most of IllicitEncounters.com’s male members are white collar professionals earning an average of £54,000 a year.
Women on the site cheat more than men – enjoying three clandestine dates a month, compared to men’s two.

Having big feet means you have a large c… chance of having an affair. IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, surveyed over 1,500 of their male members and found a positive correlation between a man’s shoe size and their likelihood of having an affair.
Men with a shoe size of 10 or over are at least twice as likely to have an affair than those with a shoe size of less than 10, while the most faithful men sport feet between the sizes of 7 and 9. The most common shoe size for adulterous men was 10.5.
Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Christian Grant, said:
“While many would argue that there’s more to having an affair than one’s foot size, the data doesn’t lie. Men who sport a shoe size of 10 and over account for 85% of all men on the site, with the remaining 15% having a shoe size of 9 and under.
It looks like women whose husbands have small feet can sleep relatively comfortably at night, while those with husbands who have a big pair of loafers should perhaps be more mindful.”
The results of the study also correlate with various celebrity cheats, with Bill Clinton, Tiger Woods, Hugh Grant and Gavin Rossdale all sporting a shoe size of 10 and over.
Interestingly, the same could not be said of women. Of the 1,000 women who were surveyed, there was no correlation to be found between big feet and adultery, though the most common shoe size was 6.5 (13%).
“While women across the country have something to potentially stress over, the nation’s husbands have the privilege of not having any feet related paranoia,” said Grant.

Thousands of ‘football widows’ have taken to the internet in search of an affair in the wake of the European Championships.
IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading website for married people, has surveyed their new female signups between Friday 10th and Sunday 12th June, with almost three quarters (72%) citing the European Championships, or rather their husbands’ obsession with it, as their main reason for joining.
The site also reported a 61% rise in site usage compared to an average, out of season weekend, which, rather unsurprisingly, peaked between two hours before and two hours after the start and conclusion of Saturday’s match between England and Russia.
Christian Grant, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, commented:
“A mid-summer weekend in June is generally an out of season period for us, so these results should provide a wakeup call of sorts to the millions of football fans across the UK.
With three games a day for several days, and the involvement of all our home nations with the exception of Scotland, we can be quietly confident these numbers are going to maintain this level over the next few weeks or so.”
Of the women who signed up between Friday and Sunday, 35% claimed they had done so because their partner chose football over sex.
A further 25% claimed that their partner becomes “unreasonable” during football, while 20% said that they used the European Championships as the perfect distraction to sign up to the site.
Grant added:
“With nine months of domestic football having only just come to its conclusion, another month of constant neglect, with other sporting events such as Wimbledon and the Olympics following shortly after, is proving to be the final straw for thousands of women.”
Rosie, 38, said:
“When the football is on, my name is only mentioned because of the occasional request for beer and snacks, or if my husband has used me as a punchline to a joke so he can impress his mates. Other than that, I might as well be invisible.”

* Three-quarters of women said booze had made a man they had not previously fancied seem more attractive;
* 84% of men said alcohol had changed their first impressions of a female date and made them keener to take things further;
* The vast majority of women (86%) said they were more likely to sleep with a man on a date if alcohol was involved;
* 92% of men said booze made sex more likely on a date;
* The results from a new survey of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people
Three-quarters of women (74%) said that alcohol had made a man they had not previously fancied on a date seem more attractive.
And 84% of men said a few drinks had changed unfavourable first impressions of a female date and made them keener to take things further.
The vast majority of women (86%) said they were more likely to sleep with a man on a date if alcohol was involved.
Nine out of ten men (92%) said booze made sex more likely on a date.
The results come from a new survey of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, the leading dating website for married people.
The dictionary definition of beer boggles is the “phenomenon in which one’s consumption of alcohol makes physically unattractive persons appear beautiful.”
The survey found that 54% of women had ended up having sex with a man while wearing beer goggles.
In 84% of cases, the women had not seen the man for a further date.
Two-thirds of men (64%) had had beer goggle sex – and most (76%) had not seen the woman for a second date.
Despite these findings, 68% of women and 82% of men like to drink alcohol on a first date.
The main reason both sexes hit the booze is that it ‘helps to break the ice’ – chosen by 72% of women and 87% of men.
Most men (77%) and the majority of women (64%) said they felt more confident after a drink.
The most popular time to wear beer goggles is when you are student.
More than half of men (54%) and 48% of women said they had had beer goggle sex when they were at college.
IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said:
“Dating is a stressful business – you are meeting a new person and need to make a good impression fast.
It’s no wonder that both sexes finding that drinking alcohol makes the whole process a lot easier.
As the booze flows, inevitably the beer goggles come on and dates that might have finished with a quick peck on the cheek end up going far further.
That is the experience of millions of people who are dating online including lots of members of IllicitEncounters.com – you end up kissing a few ugly ducklings before meeting your swan.
Beer goggle sex may not lead to true love most of the time, but it can often be a lot of fun.”
llicitEncounters.com has more than a million members in the UK.
Most of its male members are white collar professionals earning an average of £54,000 a year.
Women on the site cheat more than men – enjoying three clandestine dates a month, compared to men’s two.

Scott Disick, Michelle Keegan, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sally Bercow are just some of the famous faces to be awarded at the National Adultery Awards 2016, a.k.a. The Cheaties.
Taking place in an invitation-only event in London on Sunday 29th May, the event was organized and hosted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people.
Scott Disick took home the evening’s most prestigious award, the 2015 Cheater of the Year, for his repeated acts of infidelity, betraying his now ex-girlfriend, Kourtney Kardashian.
He fought off stiff competition from Gwen Stefani’s ex, Gavin Rossdale, and actor Ben Affleck, who both had an affair with their childrens’ nanny, while Sally Bercow, who cheated on husband John Bercow with his cousin, and rock star Ozzy Osbourne completed the list of nominees for the main award.
“This was tough, but the right person won in the end,” said IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesperson, Christian Grant.
“Cheating on what many would consider to be a beautiful woman, and to do it several times too, is brave… or stupid, I can’t quite tell.
What’s more, the rumours say that he cheated on her with her sibling Kendall Jenner, among others. Low blow, Scott.
It was also interesting to see that the main category was dominated by men, with just one woman, Sally Bercow, making the list of nominees. Whether that says something about the cheating habits of men and women, I don’t know, but it’s an interesting thought.”
Meanwhile, Michelle Keegan took home the We ALL Would award, for the woman all married men (and gay women) would cheat on their partner’s for.
The honour of being the man that all married women (and gay men) would cheat for went to, unsurprisingly, Channing Tatum.
In the sports category, Cristiano Ronaldo won the Sports ‘Player’ of the Year after having alleged affairs with Andress Urach, Daniella Chavez and Badr Hari.
Stephanie Drew and Ali Bear of Ex On The Beach were crowned as the best reality TV cheaters, while the best TV affair was given to Holly Cunningham and Robbie Roscoe of Hollyoaks.
Sally Bercow, who cheated on her husband with his own cousin, romped to victory in the “What Were they Thinking?” category, while the NAA Fellowship Award was given to Bill Clinton, who has allegedly had affairs with 36 different women.
Speaking of Clinton, he was, in fact, a double award-winner, as he also claimed the Most Iconic Affair In History thanks to his notorious relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
Grant added:
“Unfortunately, and perhaps rather understandably, the winners could not be there in person to collect their awards, but rest assured that these have since been sent to them. We hope that they take a pride of place in the winners’ homes.”
The full list of categories, winners and nominees are as follows:

* 88% of women said they were louder than their partners during love-making;
* 64% of men said their women were noisier, too;
* Most couples say sex is much better when it is noisy;
* Married men and women are quieter when having sex with their spouse than they are with their lover;
* Findings come from a new poll of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people
Women are far noisier than men when they are having sex, according to a new survey.
A whopping 88% of women admitted that they were louder than their partners during love-making, and 64% of men polled also confirmed that their female lovers drowned them out when they were getting intimate.
The findings were revealed in a poll of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people.
With Wimbledon just weeks away, the survey found that sex is like tennis – with women making all the noise.
Making a racket in the sack adds to the fun for most couples: seven out of ten men (71%) said they liked it when their partner made noise during sex. Almost as many women (62%) said they enjoyed it when their men audibly expressed pleasure during sex.
The survey found that 59% of men and 57% of women had been overheard having sex because they were making so much noise.
A further 65% of men and 63% of women had heard other couples during love-making.
Married men and women who are unfaithful are quieter when making love to their spouse than they are with their lover.
Six out of ten women (62%) and 72% of men said they did make more noise in bed when they were cheating.
Scientists say there is no reason why women should be noisier than men – either in bed or on the tennis court.
IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said:
“Noisy sex tends to be an individual thing. Some people scream the house down at a concert, others watch without making a sound; it doesn’t mean they’re not enjoying it as much!
One theory might be that since women fake it more often than men do, perhaps they feel obliged to provide ‘evidence’ that they’re enjoying themselves?
It is interesting that people having affairs make more noise when having sex with their lovers than they do with their married partners. All of IllicitEncounters.com’s evidence suggests that this is because the sex is more exciting when you’re having an affair.
Most people who stay in a marriage while cheating on their partner say they end up straying because their sex life at home has become staid and boring.”

For thousands of ‘football widows,’ Saturday’s FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace was the final straw, with thousands signing up to the UK’s leading dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com.
There was a largely irregular spike of female registrations throughout Saturday, which peaked ten minutes into kick-off, and maintained its momentum until later in the evening.
IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesman, Christian Grant, said:
“At that time on a Saturday afternoon, we very rarely see numbers on this sort of a scale. After nine months of neglect, Saturday’s cup final proved to be the final straw for many women, and with a summer of football still to come, it wouldn’t surprise me to see something like this happen again.”
The site saw over 1,000 female registrations on Saturday alone, with 80% of those signing up between 3:30 (2 hours before kick-off) and 8:30pm – half an hour after the game’s conclusion.
Over 20% of those registrations were from women situated in the city of Manchester and surrounding regions in Greater Manchester, including Bolton (3%), Bury (2.2%) and Stockport (4.8%).
But while only 90,000 football fans occupied the seats of Wembley stadium, many more neutral supporters watched the game with friends, choosing to ignore their significant other.
“It’s not the first time this has happened,” said Grant.
“In every relationship, compromise is needed. While attending a football match once, twice, maybe even three times a week, can be tolerated, watching every match, especially those that don’t directly involve your team, need to be sacrificed, with more time spent with the wife and kids instead.
If not, it’ll only be a matter of time before women find something, or rather, someone, else.”
According to recent studies*, only 25.8% of women follow the sport, leaving a huge proportion of them stranded at home while their husbands’ attend matches around the country most weeks of the year.
Amanda was one of those who registered to the site on Saturday, stating:
“My husband’s been a season ticket holder at Manchester United for several years. While I don’t want him to not have a hobby, it’s reached the stage where I’m second best to a football club week in, week out.”

The most adulterous town in the UK is posh High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, according to a new table of the country’s 140 cheating hotspots.
The middle class commuter town has been officially named as the place where a husband or wife is most likely to have an affair.
Wealthy High Wycombe has 2,119 people cheating out of a population of 120,256.
The interactive Infidelity Index allows users to search a town to discover how many people are having affairs in any locality.
Click here to find your local figure – http://www.infidelityindex.co.uk.
High Wycombe came out highest, with 2.12% of the population cheating.
In second place was another middle class commuter town, Guildford in Surrey, with 1,250 cheats (2.05% of the population) and Aldershot in Hampshire came third.
Cumbernauld, fifth in the overall UK table, was Scotland’s cheating capital. Wrexham, a lowly 55 in the UK table, was Wales’s cheating capital – suggesting that couples in the Principality are having fewer affairs than elsewhere in the UK.
Many of the towns with the highest numbers of cheats are wealthy areas in the south of England.
The most faithful town, perhaps surprisingly, was Brentwood in Essex – shattering the myth that Essex girls (and boys) are promiscuous. Brentwood is where many of the cast of the TV show The Only Way Is Essex live or socialise.
Famous people from High Wycombe include the TV chef Heston Blumenthal, comedian Jimmy Carr, actor James Corden and TV presenter Fern Britton.
With an average house price of £269,681 – far above the national average of £188,270 – it is one of the most desirable places to live in the UK.
The figures were compiled by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people.
They are based on its own extensive data on the numbers of Britons cheating.
Since its inception 13 years ago, more than 1 million people have registered with the site.
IllicitEncounters.com has seen a 20% surge in registrations in the last five years because many couples simply cannot afford to divorce due economic pressures and ever-rising house prices.
Increasing numbers of couples are trapped in unhappy marriages but they are reluctant to divorce and are using IllicitEncounters.com to inject to some excitement into their lives with like-minded married men who also have no intention of leaving their partners.
llicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said: “We are increasingly popular in commuter towns like High Wycombe, Guildford, Maidenhead and Ashford. They are doing a lot more than just twitching curtains in Acacia Avenue.
“Spiralling house prices have made divorce increasingly difficult for many couples. They are struggling along unhappily because they simply cannot afford to set up two homes.
“IllicitEncounters.com provides an outlet for men and women who would have an affair whether we were there or not. In coming to us, they can be assured of meeting a like-minded partner seeking some added excitement in their life who doesn’t want to upset things at home.”
Every week, around 20,000 people in the UK are having affairs on IllicitEncounters.com.
The average income of the men on the site is £54,000 a year, with most working in professional jobs.

One third of Adulterers believe that cheating doesn’t count when it’s done abroad.
IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extra-marital affairs site, surveyed 1000 of it’s members and discovered that a whopping 33% admitted that they didn’t feel having a fling abroad was cheating.
The survey found that 28% of affair-seekers were planning a trip abroad to engage in some illicit fun this summer.
The surveyed also voted on the top European cheating destinations and found Prague to be the top contender.
What is interesting is that cheaters actually believe what they’re doing doesn’t constitute as cheating as long as it’s done on holiday; perhaps the anonymity of infidelity abroad minimizes the guilt factor, thus making it feel less deceptive.
Sierra, a female member using the site, said “What happens on holiday stays on holiday! It’s a universal rule. Every year I book a girlie getaway with my close pal Donna, who’s also married by the way. Our summer breaks are always very eventful, but nothing I want to write home about! Let’s just say a cheeky fling is always on the agenda, Donna and I both know it’s only some harmless fun. Our husbands drop us off at the airport and they’re right where we left them when we get back, none-the-wiser and perfectly happy to see us after a little break from each other. It’s win-win.”
Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Claire Page said “Let’s be honest here, what do you actually expect goes on – on a girls or lads holiday? Plenty of married people play away on holidays abroad; it’s just something nobody bats an eye at anymore.
Is it cheating? Apparently some think not, I can totally understand the thought process behind this though. The reason some people harbour any ill feelings towards their infidelity is due to the baggage that may follow them around, but if you can drop the baggage off on the conveyor belt at the airport – then the weight is quite literally off your shoulders.
If the problem doesn’t follow you home, then there’s no problem at all. So can cheating abroad not count? Yes, if you don’t let it.”
