Stay at home Dads – Fair game?

yed0ewap9a67vqvwp4w0

Stay at home Dads are no longer a laughing stock. In fact, they are more common than most would think with 1 in 7 families now having Dad as the primary carer, while Mum heads out to the office. The collapse of the gender pay gap -women under 30 now earn more than men and older women are usually only paid less if they take time off to bring up families – means mothers are highly likely to have fatter pay packets than fathers, making it more economical for some Dads to stay at home. As figures are now 10 times higher than back in the 90’s, with 2012 reaching record highs of Dads holding the fort, we ask; does this make these Dads an irresistible target for other women?

Seeing a man with a baby or a puppy is like an aphrodisiac for women, and as Hugh Grant discovered in the movie, About a Boy, while trying to gatecrash a single parents meeting; women like men who are good with children. A male showing his sensitive side sets him apart from regular guys, making the female heart soften while reassuring the ladies that he could surely understand her needs better than most males. So imagine then, the excitement when a fresh Dad walks into a playday with his kids; it’s a Diet Coke moment. What do have here? A man, a father, a carer happy to relieve his wife of some parenting duties? What a wonderful man! These ladies are seeing Mr Stay at Home at his absolute best. You can imagine women huddling together delighted to discuss the handsome new comer with a Desperate Housewives vibe filling the air.

And how do men feel with their newfound fame? The attention must be flattering, and the interest in seemingly mundane tasks mothers have to perform is met with female praise making him suddenly, the best thing ever. Even the most loyal of men would miss this spotlight thrust on them if it were taken away, surely?

Illicit Encounters member *Jeff, tells us his story “ When I was made redundant from my job, my wife and I decided that rather than continue to pay the high rates of child care for our two daughters, I would stay home and look after them while I figured out my next move. My wife has a very good position as an account manager at a top advertising agency, and as a career lady she was not looking to be a fulltime at home mum. I took some time to adjust to my new role, and after a while I felt confident enough to mix with the other parents – who were mainly mums at play dates and coffee mornings. I noticed instantly that the women were different around me, flirty and some openly suggestive – it was almost like I was the new kid at school. I was aroused and excited at the attention, who wouldn’t be? I have a great relationship with my wife, but like many marriages we have become more like brother and sister over the years, and the romance had somewhat disappeared. I felt very tempted and sometimes I had to stop myself from flirting back, but I found myself wanting the attention. At that point, I decided to join Illicit Encounters. There’s no way I would ever get involved with one of the women in my circle – that would be ridiculously stupid, and also risk the embarrassment of my whole family if something were to become public. On the website I just like to chat with women, and yes flirt a little – it gives me the same high that I discovered through my new role, but without anyone getting hurt. I’m also learning a great deal about females just by talking to different women, and I feel this is benefiting my marriage positively”

*Jeff’s story is not uncommon as recent research tells us that 1 in 5 men feel less of a man when they take up this traditionally female role. Feeling they are somehow playing second fiddle to their wives is not an easy transition for some, meaning the attention from other women can help re-establish their power as a man and reassert himself into his new found society as a key player outside of the home once again. While some working Mums are grateful to their stay at home partners, the temptation to emasculate them is also strong and requires a fine balance between gratitude, and remembering the change for some men needs as much attention as their hard earned careers.

Is cheating written in the stars?

mljtnwjqdwpjh50s8cgr

Whether you believe in astrology or not, we all fall into certain groups of sun signs depending on the time of our birth during the astrological year. Astrology then tells us that within these groups, we will have different personal traits that define us as true to our sign. Traditionally more popular with females than males as most are quick to dismiss belief in such a system, ladies magazines and websites are saturated with regular astrology guides to finding love, perfect astro matches, and which sign is more likely to stay faithful or stray during a relationship.

Illicit Encounters (the UK’s largest extra marital dating website) were particularly interested to see if the signs most regularly named and shamed as the most faithful and unfaithful rang true among our members, and unfortunately for those non-believers, the findings matched the profile of these signs perfectly! So here is a quick guide to the sun signs who don’t strain to tell a lie and those who are more cautious to try….

The astrological sign, and the largest group of Illicit Encounters members is indeed Pisces, the slippery fish who falls in – and out – of love easily and has an occasional issue with telling the truth. Many are fooled into thinking this sensitive and romantic sign would never stray, but they are masters of deception within the waters of love. You may think you know your Pisces partner but they are also experts at covering their tracks, meaning ignorance may be bliss with your smooth lover!

The second most likely sign to be unfaithful – and also Illicit Encounter’s number two is of course the head strong Aries. This sign is always looking out for number one, putting their needs before anyone else and their sexual appetite is notorious. Even though they fall heavily in love along with the other fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius, they simply cannot keep it in their pants as well as their loyal siblings. Naturally dynamic, fiery, and extrovert personalities make Aries irresistible to others and they love the thrill of the chase, even more so when chasing something forbidden…

The third most popular member is strong willed Taurus. This fixed sign is dependable, romantic, steady and committed. Once settled into a routine these sturdy signs do not like change and will give a partner plenty of signs if something is wrong within a relationship. If their worries and feelings are ignored however, these loving bulls may not be able to resist romantic temptation and may go in search of someone new who will understand them, while secretly hoping to fix their primary relationship. Word to the wise for partners of Taureans: pay attention to the signs!

The most traditionally faithful astrological signs also mirrored the least number of members on the Illicit Encounters website. The sign with the least number of sign ups was loyal and steadySagittarius. Friendly, comfortable and content, it takes a lot to make this laidback sign look for an extra adventure outside of their relationship. They do however enjoy a flirt, and their fun loving nature could be easily enticed by showing them your lust for life and tender side. They also need a lot of space and hate to be tied down, so a Sagittarian who feels restricted could rebel by looking for a new mate to show a partner not to restrict their carefree ways.

The most loyal sign number two and second least number of Illicit Encounters members is smoldering Scorpio. A massive misconception of Scorpio is that due to their ability to practically sweat sex they are simply not to be trusted. Unlike its fellow water sign Pisces at the top of the unfaithful list; these trustworthy lovers are very loving and steadfast in their intimate relationships. However, while you will never find a more devoted lover than a Scorpio, they will only be faithful as long as you are and not one moment more. If you break a Scorpio’s trust by two-timing them, you’ll lose their loyalty forever – and you can expect some kind of revenge payback in return!

And finally, the third sign of the zodiac least likely to cheat, and Illicit Encounters number 3, is down to earth Virgo. Refined and intelligent, this sign knows exactly who and what it wants and will work hard to get it. Practical considerations prevail where love is concerned and sex isn’t usually a particularly big deal. Certainly, this sign isn’t known for its philandering – probably because being a workaholic by nature, it simply doesn’t have the time. Similar to fellow earth sign Capricorn they may wait years before settling down ensuring they make the right choice, and if they haven’t they will find it very hard to leave a marriage out and out, so an affair with an earth sign is possible.

So there you have it – forewarned is forearmed!

“Darling, I’d rather you Skydive, than tell a lie”

gdg6slgighghmmwlszey

The rush, hit, high, the feeling that keeps you going back for more, over and over again. You’re addicted; even though you know you are risking it all, you can’t control your incessant need for a snapshot of ecstasy. Losing all rational thought, dopamine becomes your common sense enslaving you to focus only on feeding its need for risky reward. As you come back down to earth, you feel still, empty, and the mind is already willing to chance losing everything you have just to satisfy an unforgiving desire to live on a knife-edge, in a heartbeat.

For some the reality of needing this kind of rush is uncontrollable, almost as if the body is powerless to the mind’s desire, regardless of the consequences. Naturally eager and spontaneous, it has been scientifically proven via a study at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, that this set of people have fewer dopamine-regulating receptors in their brain, making the chemical hit each time they take a risk, unusually big. There are many ways to fulfill this addiction-type need, with extreme sports at the top of the list. Heli skiing, base-jumping, and skydiving along with big wave surfing and bull running, all hit the spot and achieve the aim of losing yourself to the moment without a second thought to the fact you could seriously injure yourself, or worse. And you needn’t think it’s just adrenaline fueled muscle-head guys that are seeking the ultimate high either, growing numbers of women are more than happy to give the boys a run for their money. This area of the sporting world may have long been dominated by men, but that’s changing fast as women are gaining ground and showing men how it’s done, not only with a high physical ability, but also a complete mental understanding.

Then there is another type of risk taking where the stakes are just as high: having an affair. The need to embrace risk is strikingly similar, all in a haze of adrenalin; you are willing to risk losing the one you love just for the thrill of tasting forbidden fruit. Reputations hang in the balance, the stigma attached to being a cheat, and even breaking up a family are all forgotten in the blink of a lustful eye, pretty selfish all round. But is jumping out of plane or off a building any less selfish? No stigmas for sure, it’s brave, heroic, taking a chance, and ultimately many would comment, “I wouldn’t do it! But as you take the chance and dance with death each time, is that not just as selfish as having an affair? Is it fair on your partner to risk your life each time you hunt down the next big wave? Or is it simply that it is more socially acceptable to risk your life, than have an affair?

We asked our male and female members at Illicitencounters.com if they regularly took part in any extreme sports, and the numbers were surprising high. The top extreme sporting choice for both sexes was Rock Climbing, followed by Heli Skiing and Skydiving for the ladies, while Skydiving took second place for the men and Bull Running came in third. Clearly a multitude of high-risk activities is essential to the equilibrium of the buzz hungry individual.

If something were to happen while engaged in a sport, that would of course be terribly tragic, but more acceptable to the partner of a cheat. “Go out and risk your life darling by all means, just don’t cheat on me, okay?” A little tongue and cheek of course, but reading between the lines, it strikes me that because the act of infidelity reflects badly on all involved, telling your partner to “Go jump off a building!” in a rage, maybe be closer to the truth than we wish to admit.

Heat Wave Sends Thousands Online Looking For a Summer Fling!

xacsmxjvj933hsi91pol

It seems the British weather is not the only thing heating up, whilst the UK is in the midst of a heat wave with temperatures hitting 30-degrees in parts of the country, leading extra-marital dating site IlllictEncounters.com is reporting record numbers of members visiting the site after the sun has set.

The amount of members logging on during the hot summer nights has almost trebled in the last 10 days, and with the unusually high temperatures set to stay until at least the end of the week, the website is predicting the number of people looking for some ‘Summer Lovin’ is set to increase further.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Rosie Freeman-Jones said “When it’s hot outside you are more likely to feel frisky, the science behind this phenomenon is, as your body is exposed to sunlight, it produces more serotonin and melanocyte stimulating hormone known as MSH, which is linked to an increased sex drive in women, and serotonin just makes you feel happy.”

When questioned female members said they were most likely to look for a extra-marital lover in the summer months as they felt more attractive, tanned and could wear more seductive clothing, men also preferred going out in the summer months and feel less inhibited and more relaxed when outside in the sunshine and the heat.

Statistics released by Illicit Encounters have shown that 72% of Men and 68% of women feel more confident about showing off their bodies during the summer, especially after they have developed a bit of a tan. Men revealed they are more likely to be in shape during the summer months due to participating in sports or just being generally more physical during the week, women revealed that they were more likely to wear sexy underwear and shave their legs during the hotter months.

The sites members have also reported large increases in the number of after work and evening dates that are occurring with the lighter summer evenings producing the perfect time to meet up with their new inamorata or inamorato. The biggest increases in the number of risqué rendezvous were reported in the South West and East of England where temperatures hit their peak.

Who remembers their wedding vows?

yloxxahbcsp4ebtjtnvb

Your wedding vows: a central part of the big day itself. A promise between two people shared in front of the ones you love, it is a pivotal point in any marriage ceremony as you start your life together bound together by love. Many couples painstakingly research and create their own vows in order to seal their union with a selection of heartfelt bonds as unique as their relationship. These powerful words will be ingrained on the souls of husband and wife until death do us part. Or so you would think.

It may surprise you to know that loyal couples are in fact the least likely to remember their vows, whereas couples who are unfaithful can recall their vows at will. Rosie Freeman-Jones, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest website for married people adds “We ran a survey asking our members how many of them could recall their marriage vows and a staggering 86% told us they could. I guess that they can be at the forefront of one’s mind when you are thinking of breaking them, or already have”. So while a wife may frown upon her husband for not being able to recall his vows, thinking he no longer values or cares about them, she should relax safe in the knowledge that his inability to quote them off the cuff more than likely means, he has no need to.

Then there is the age-old topic of adultery. One of the first accusations to be thrown into the ring blame when an infidelity is discovered: “You made a vow to be faithful until death do us part!” But actually, the action of an affair is often a cry for help following a breakdown of the other vows that have been left by the way side and ignored: respect, supporting your spouses goals, for better or worse, honouring, if all of these vows were regularly honoured, surely an affair would be less likely to happen? I’ll play Devil’s advocate and say; affairs are not the cause of a marriage breaking down, they are the effect of a continued lack of attention to the other vows promised and left to rot, the heart lingers for attention elsewhere.

*Sonia, 38 from York and an IllicitEncounters.com member tells us “I meant every one of my vows on my wedding day to my husband, I wouldn’t have said them if I didn’t. I believed we would be together forever, but as we hit our fifth year of marriage we had become completely different people and unable to move forward, we separated shortly after. I am happily dating now and I would marry again, only my vows a second time around would definitely be different, and I see that as a positive learning curve from my first marriage ending.

A lot has changed since their heritage began in the 15th century, and even though vows are often viewed as the glue that holds a marriage together, is ‘Until death do us part’ really part of the modern day marriage ingredient? More and more couples are creating their own vows and steering away from old fashion style vows, but if we take out ‘Thou shall be faithful’ are we expecting to fail, or simply becoming informed and realistic? Whichever way you view it, vows need to up their game if they are to carry the weight of their promise forward into married life and move with the times. Being aware and living in the present is essential to a successful relationship; surely if we allow our vows to stagnate and fall out of sight, we can expect outside influences creep in. Be it an affair, a distance, a lost of interest, I think the answer is to revisit and revise in order to keep them alive.

Renewal of marriage vows is another growing trend, mainly thanks to celebrity endorsement, but the benefits of reassessing the promises given to each other, is a positive way to keep vows current and valid. And lets not forget the daily promise between married couples; another valuable key action to a long lasting happy relationship. Frequently revisiting and revealing their true needs to each other as they evolve as a couple ensures that individual thoughts and feelings remain front and centre of the relationship.

Can something said once years ago really stand the test of time as you and your partner travel through married life together? We are constantly evolving as individuals, changing our tastes, needs, and goals along the way: we need to revisit our vows in the same way. You wouldn’t keep the same CV for years without updating your skills and experience, so surely your marriage vows deserve the same nurturing approach. Being proactive, rather than reactive once the damage is done is more than often too little too late. Better to stay fluid, open, and aware of your vows as you and your partner navigate life together is a key component to marital bliss.

Vows simply need a makeover.

Move over Stags – Hens rule the roost!

ygkqjzmrgys6qxa7kzwx

It is almost expected that a Stag will be temped to get up to no good on his last night of freedom as a single man. As the bright lights of Vegas call, an endless supply of drinks, a bevy of beauties gyrating in thongs, surrounded by friends and no future wife in sight; it’s a classic setting for a fidelity slip up with “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” as the group mantra.

There is however a new tribe in town who rival the need to enjoy their last night of ‘freedom’ even more than their clichéd counterpart: Hens on a mission. These ladies aren’t going to sit at home worrying what their future spouses are up to, they simply have the ‘If you can’t beat, them join them’ ethic and see an opportunity to put traditional values to one side for the night.

The Hen party allows a forgotten night of activity with a ‘Get out of Jail free’ card mindset of reasoning. In the same way many name drinking as a top reason for an indiscretion, this one wild night before committing to “until death do us part” makes it acceptable to behave out of character while they are swept away with a potent cocktail of festivities and ‘last chance’ undertones.

Illicitencounters.com, the UK’s largest website for married people, surveyed both their male and females members back in 2011, finding that 11% of men to only 3% of women admitted cheating on their stag & hen nights. When they ran the same survey again this Spring – the ladies nearly equalled the men in the cheating stats. This total change of trend in a classically male arena shows a massive shift in times, and attitudes.

With this change in mind, lllicitencounters.com also wanted to see if ‘Bro code’ rules applied to ladies and asked on a recent survey “Does what happens on a hen do stay on a hen do?” A strong 91% females members answered ‘Yes’. It seems Sisterhood can more than match the classic ‘Bro code’

Rosie Freeman-Jones, spokesperson for Illicitencounters.com comments “Today Women are just as empowered, if not more so than men to look out for their ladies, sticking firmly together whatever a friends actions maybe, and hen party antics are no exception”.

Illicitencounters.com member* Alice Smart, 35 from Surrey, told us “I did have a one night stand on my hen party, but in a strange way I felt entitled to. I could not wait to marry my husband, but I also felt a burning desire to behave as if I was a single girl that night. When I confided in my girlfriends they were non judgemental and could understand why the temptation to have one last throw away night would appeal”

So while Stag nights remain in the *top 3 of occasions where females worry their partner will stray, Hen parties look set to place themselves firmly in the mind of males: not so cliché…

Is having an affair with a younger woman passé?

r1zdjkc9jbmqqlalhuz9

Anthea Turner has announced her split from husband Grant Bovey after 13 years of marriage. Whilst there has been no official comment on the reason for the split, It is claimed he had been having an affair with a socialite 26 years his junior. Grant who previously left his former wife for TV presenter Anthea, is said to have started the extra-marital relationship whilst Anthea was pursuing a career in Canada.

Whilst a man having an affair with a younger woman may seem like a familiar event, research by leading extra-marital dating website IllicitEncounters.com appears to show an emerging trend in Men and Women looking to have an extra-marital relationship with someone their own age. The majority of members are looking for a relationship with someone who they can form a deep emotional and intellectual bond with, as well as a physical one. A shocking 78% of men and 82% of women of the 800,000 members of Illicit Encounters are actively looking for an affair with a partner in their own age range (A maximum of 10 years older/younger).

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor said: “There are multiple reasons why people seek relationships outside of their marriage, whether it is due to getting married to young, drifting apart or economical reasons. It is also not unusual for couples to come under strain whilst one of them is away from home for long periods of time. Our members are not looking to breakup their marriages, just to fulfil something that is missing from within their relationship be it physical or emotional. They understand it is unlikely they will find fulfilment with someone who is vastly different in age or intellect from themselves.”

In an interview earlier this year, Anthea said she accepted part of the blame for her marital problems, admitting that ‘Long periods apart are never good for a healthy relationship’ however the results of a OnePol survey, reviled that only 21% of married women could forgive and move passed an affair, whilst in comparison 27% of men could forgive a marital indiscretion.

IllicitEncounters.com member, James (54) from London, said: “Having heard about the story I think it is unlikely that Grant was looking to fulfil an long-term emotional void by having an affair with a younger woman. It was most likely just an affair of opportunity. When I have had affairs in the past with much younger women they often do not last long term, and leave both of us dissatisfied. Women who I have met around my own age are more likely to share my interests and I can have interesting conversations with them.”

Notes:

*The survey by OnePoll for IllicitEncounters.com of 4,000 members of the public revealed that a total of 27% of married men would stay with their partner through infidelity compared with only 21% of married women.

World Cup leads to thousands of Married Women looking to score!

ispzdc8173inzhxwbgpa (1)

Thousands of football widows have flocked to extramarital dating site, IllicitEncounters.com, as world cup frenzy is leaving them feeling neglected by their partners. The website has reported an average of a 67% rise in female activity since World Cup fever swept the nation.

Leading UK marital affairs website IllicitEncounters.com, which has over 850,000 members, is seeing a surge of new member sign-ups as the tournament is due to begin. The recent friendly match between England and Peru showed just how invisible ladies are already beginning to feel as their partners are distracted; the site saw a 200% increase in female activity. Over the last few weeks they have seen nightly increases of up to 82% in new female traffic, with an overwhelming majority citing, ‘world cup neglect’ as the reason for joining.

Mike Taylor from IllicitEncounters.com said: “There is a large number of women who are feeling neglected due to world cup fever being their partner’s number one priority. Some of the new members even mention the fact they had signed-up just because they were sick and tired of coming second to football matches and decided to ‘play away’ themselves during the world cup.”

Charlotte 38 from Manchester who joined the site just before the England and Peru game, made it clear in her profile that she was looking for someone to fill the gap during the world cup commenting: “World cup season is upon us and I have become invisible to my man I am looking for someone who is fit, active and looking to meet up during matches for some fun.”

Mike Taylor adds: “Some new females have actually been surprisingly explicit about what lead them to join the site, citing instances when they were neglected while their partner spent hours at the pub, or those who were completely ignored at home, apart from the occasional request for beer and snacks.”

So while some footballers may have more experience in dealing with affairs illicit encounters, expect these figures to serve as a wake-up call to the majority of British men – if you don’t pay attention to your ladies, they are not afraid to go and find someone who will. Most likely someone who’s into salsa dancing or doubles tennis.

Work Based Affairs Could Hit A 20 Year High

xzdvevkbpakyzqkmgpob

Work-place romances set are set to sky rocket as work based stress hits a 20 year high. A new study by the UK Commission for employment and skills has relieved that Britain’s employees are feeling more insecure and pressured at work than at any time in the past 20 years.

Findings from the 2012 Skills and Employment Survey (SES) claimed that more workers are feeling they are increasingly worried about losing their job or suffering a loss of status and unfair treatment at work. This supports earlier findings by Leading married dating websiteIllicitEncounters.com and NotAtWork.co.uk, who commissioned a study to investigate the impact of stress on the number of office based romances.

The study showed that those employees that work longer than 45 hours a week or have stressful jobs are almost 5 times more likely to embark on an extra marital affair.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Mike Taylor, said “Working longer hours without additional pay or benefits can push people into making bad relationship decisions. Workers can find themselves in the office late at night, exhausted and feeling low and take comfort with a co-worker in the same situation, this can then develop as they spend more time with each other than they are with their spouses.”

Over 54% of all workers admitted that at some-point in their career they have considered engaging in a work-based affair and this study shows the likelihood of them doing so escalates exponentially when working hours are increased.

It estimated that more than seven million people a year in the UK work unpaid extra hours to hold on to their jobs and with stress and job insecurity on the rise, businesses could be heading for a work based infidelity epidemic.

Employers need to recognise that squeezing more hours out of their workers maybe counter-productive. The study demonstrated there is a clear correlation between an increase in stress in the workplace and a rise in the number of work based affairs. It affects their workers’ morale, their physical and mental well-being and as this study has shown, can also be detrimental to their personal relationships. None of these are of any long term benefit to any companies. Whilst the majority of businesses acknowledge that office romances can have a negative impact on productivity very few are taking the necessary precautions to stem the increase.

Audi drivers overtake BMW as the most adulterous car owners

jwm5kh6fnq3fjqcxcl6x

It appears that BMW owners have lost the title of most adulterous drivers to Audi owners, the UK’s leading married dating site IllicitEncounters.com can reveal. In a follow up to last years poll, BMW drivers have slipped into second place. Meaning BMW owners have either switched to a new car manufacturer or have bucked up their ideas and been more faithful in the past 12 months.

BMW remains as the worlds largest maker of luxury vehicles despite Audi receiving $25 billion worth of investment since 2002 and doubling the number of model lines they make since 2003 from 6 to 12 but Audi have plans to take the lead from BMW by 2020 and if our stats are anything to go by they look on course to do so.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor said: “Cars can reveal a lot about their owners, all the cars in the top 5 represent our members, they are typically successful, motivated, high-achievers who are less likely to settle for something they find unsatisfying, be it a car or a relationship. Car manufacturers know this and Mercedes even famously used infidelity to advertise their cars with the banned ‘Not In This Weather’ advert.”

It seems German manufacturers are the most favoured by Illicit Encounters members with Mercedes Benz coming in third in the study of the dating sites 800,000 members whilst the exception Volvo (Swedish) came forth and Volkswagen finished the top 5.

Interestingly both the car brands with the fewest number of adulterers where French, so whilst the French may embrace adultery it seems the drivers of their cars do not. So if your husband or wife drives a Peugeot or a Renault you can be pretty confident that they are less likely to stray.

The other interesting statistic was, 72% of Illicit Encounters members where likely to change cars within three years to refresh to a newer brand or model, and only 7% of members primary car was older than 5 years.
