Britons Vote on Sexiest Celebrity Chefs

zqdopxf0hf3dyxlklfcr

Nigella Lawson and James Martin have topped a poll on sexiest celebrity chefs according to new research released today by IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s largest married dating site.

The affairs site polled 750 women and 700 men to vote on their celebrity chef crush with James Martin topping the poll with 29% of the vote and Nigella Lawson with 56%.

In the male category Gordon Ramsay came second with 20% of the vote, and in joint third place Jamie Oliver (11%) and Marco Pierre White (11%)

In the female category Rachel Khoo came in second with 13%, and third place Loraine Pascale (9%)

James Martin winning suggests his straightforward, down to earth and possibly his northern charm appeals to a large majority of women. It is surprising though that the alpha-male of the bunch Gordon Ramsay didn’t fare better. What came as a shock, however, is Jamie Oliver received a significantly small amount of votes even though he was voted the nation’s greatest celebrity chef of all time in a recent poll commissioned by The Hundred-Foot Journey.

It is also interesting that 55 year old Nigella Lawson beat the younger and fresher faced Rachel Khoo who is only 34, indicating that age is nothing but a number when it comes to levels of attractiveness. The fact that Nigella Lawson also has a history of controversy didn’t seem to deter the public vote, with alleged drug use and advocating fur to add to her media portfolio she is seen to have a rebellious streak, whereas Rachel Khoo comes across as the sweet girl next door with no bad publicity.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Claire Page said “ I’m astounded that Gordon didn’t win. He is dauntless and self-assured and his personality speaks volumes. Personally, I’m completely hooked on watching him take charge in the kitchen, and I’d place my bets that it’s a similar event in the bedroom! Forget Christian Grey, Gordon Ramsay any day!”

Sacré bleu – Rachel Khoo? More like Rachel Who, according to the results. It is Nigella Lawson that steals the nations hearts. An absolute beauty, quirky and mesmerising to watch; women want to be her and men want to marry her; the proof is in the pudding!

As a nation we are fascinated with celebrity chefs, after all food and sex are kindred; everybody knows that food has aphrodisiac qualities – think about it, champagne, chocolate and strawberries? It’s a recipe for romance.”

Date a Married Man, but not on Tinder!

sedjgyocdbjxqqhj83p3

IllicitEncounters.com the largest married dating site in the UK has revealed that 6% of their members are in fact single and not married or attached. With statistics released this week that report 42% of Tinder users are married – it seems extra-marital affairs sites are more relevant now than ever.

The 6% of members who are single admit so openly too, many prefer a relationship with someone that is attached – not wanting a full-time relationship but rather a part-time one where there is no confusion about their intentions. Dating a married man or woman can be more convenient for someone who is single and simply doesn’t want the emotional stress that comes with a conventional relationship.

Tinder advertises itself as a dating App that allows you to anonymously swipe members you like. But with features such as connecting your Instagram account or seeing their Facebook photos makes this App less than discrete. Now that stats reveal that almost half of it’s members are in a relationship this can be very misleading for the genuine Singles who have signed up to the site.

With an extra-marital dating site like IllicitEncounters.com what you see is what you get – the majority of members are married and admit so openly. The discretion is assured and allows married members to seek others in the same situation as themselves and not rock any boats within their marriage.

Susan, 41 year old single member on IllicitEncounters.com said ‘I’ve been down the route of what people call ‘normal’ dating, and it just isn’t for me. I do have a partner who is married and I wouldn’t want it any other way. We are very much in love and whenever we do see each other there is an incredible connection between the two of us – but I think I would shoot myself if I needed to spend all of my free time with him. I just don’t think men and women should live together, I like my own space and I like to invite him to join me from time to time. I respect he has a family to go home to, his wife – his life I say. I love my freedom, I am fiercely independent and enjoy my own space, that is why having a boyfriend who is married is very convenient for me.’

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Claire Page said “We’ve all heard Tinder horror stories. There are countless sites that are dedicated to naming and shaming Tinder-weirdos, and many people sign up to the app then leave fairly quickly because of the strange communication they have received. As far as dating platforms go – Tinder is regarded as the one for ‘hook-ups’. Those members that are in a relationship are heading down a dangerous path as it will be hard to cover their tracks, not least because the App is installed on your device and phone probably in reach of a significant other.

Top 10 Reasons to Date a Married Man
1. No commitments. You can meet them as and when you agree upon, and you don’t have to feel bad about doing what you want when you want, or who you want.
2. Married men are more honest. As you are not their primary relationship they will share more about their feelings because between the two of you – there is nothing to hide.
3. A married man will give you more attention. They will shower you with affection because this is what they are normally missing from their married life.
4. Married men put in more effort. The new found spark will revive them and that honeymoon period you so often see when you first enter a relationship is ever-present.
5. You will never need to compromise your own life. Don’t have time to see him? That’s perfectly fine. Never will you need to cancel on an event, or fear seeing a friend because you don’t want to upset your partner – the married man will understand you have your own life to lead.
6. No bunny boilers. Jealousy is a thing of the past, no need to worry about the green-eyed monster; you have an agreement that you are sharing each other.
7. No emotional baggage. Their problems are their problems; you don’t need to take them home with you. When you enter a relationship you’re normally faced with that person’s baggage – but a married man’s suitcase don’t belong to you.
8. You can leave him. Once you’ve fulfilled your own needs or desires, you have no obligation to remain in the relationship. You want out? There’s no need to draw up a list of pros and cons, you can simply walk away.
9. It’s a secret. An illicit Romeo and Juliet. There’s just something saucy about it being just between the two of you, many people fantasize about a secret love affair.
10. Incredible sex life. Married men are better in bed, they may be in a sexless marriage so they will try extra hard to please you in the bedroom.

The UK’s Most Unfaithful Constituencies Revealed

lcoj4wz3wxcqph1z5odc

With election fever gripping the nation, IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading married dating website, has released data revealing the UK’s most unfaithful constituencies.

ElectionInfidelity.com cross-references the data of almost 1 million adulterers against the constituency they are in to reveal the illicit political hotspots within the United Kingdom.

Whilst conservatives are the most unfaithful voters, 4 of the top 5 most illicit constituencies are Labour:

1 Nottingham South Labour
2 South Cambridgeshire Conservative
3 Greenwich and Woolwich Labour
4 Newcastle-Upon-Tyne East Labour
5 Leyton and Wanstead Labour

Overall, Conservatives just pipped Labour to the post with the most unfaithful constituencies with a ranking of 13.67% against Labour’s 13.08%

Scotland has fared very well with only one constituency within the top 20. SNP voters also came in low with a ranking of only 8%

The most faithful constituency was Leigh in Greater Manchester.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Simon Francis said: “The results speak for themselves with the mainstream constituencies having the most unfaithful voters. What’s interesting is that smaller parties came in so low suggesting that the same moral compass that guides our personal lives is also prevalent within our voting habits. But if you can’t trust Labour or Conservative to stay faithful then how can we trust them to run our country.”

To see how your faithful your constituency is go to www.electioninfidelity.com
How the Data Works

The number of people cheating in each constituency was calculated using the postcode data of 995,000 members of IllicitEncounters.com. This was then ran against the number of people eligible to vote in each constituency to give a percentage or Infidelity Index for that area.

The party ranking was calculated by taking the party holding the seat in the constituency of all our members.

Seat party holder is based on who won the seat in the 2010 General Election.

Bankers are even bigger cheats when it comes to affairs

jkphspyni4lrprqecyoe

The UK’s largest extra-marital affairs dating website IllicitEncounters.com has released figures that suggest that those working in finance are most likely to have an affair then say those working in Government (3%) or in Engineering (6%).

Out of the 20 listed occupational fields a staggering 18% of active members have selected Financial Services as their occupation, indicating that bankers are currently the top cheating profession. The site is seeing more people from the financial sector seeking an affair, with an 8% increase of members joining IllicitEncounters.com since January this year.

Interestingly only 2% of active members are tradesmen opposing the myth that tradesmen have a womanising reputation. It is in face bankers that are laughing all the way to the bank.

Bankers are inherently designed to cheat, according to a study published in November last year in the journal Nature by Alain Cohn Ernst Fehr and André Maréchal. The study concluded that bankers are more likely to lie when conditioned into discussing their job beforehand.

John a member of IllicitEncounters.com and banker says “The banking industry is very fast paced and stress levels can be sky high when dealing with such a vast amount of money on a daily basis. It is an aggressive environment and the only way I seem to be able to relieve the tension is by sleeping with a string of women that are not my wife. When I’m going on a date after work I still feel cocky and ballsy with an answer for everything, but when I go home and see my wife I’m relaxed and can be the loving and attentive husband she needs me to be.”

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Claire Page says “Bankers can switch at the flip of a coin depending on what situation they find themselves in and they seem to be able to compartmentalise their private and professional life. Those working in the banking sector make the perfect affair candidates. They already know how to keep a secret and the financial security means they can afford the luxury of having an affair.

Fraudulent and irresponsible activity has been the trademark of bankers in recent years, with the economic crisis and Libor scandal, so taking this into their personal lives comes as no real surprise. Bankers are not one to miss out on an opportunity!

You would think that tradesmen, coming from such a masculine role, would be more likely to want to take a lover; after all the likelihood of being wolf whistled at in the street by a builder is higher than say, being approached by a man that is suited and booted. Although, the results speak for themselves”

The full results are below

Accounting 5%
Admin/Cust. Service 1%
Advert/Media/Entertain 2%
Art/Design Related 2%
Education & Science 2%
Engineering 6%
Executive 8%
Financial Services 18%
Government 3%
Healthcare & Medical 3%

Intelligent People More Likely to Cheat, Especially Women!

yaa0qvbcyabcgpmsqppc

Intelligent people are most likely to have affairs, especially women, according toIllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading married dating site.

The website looked at the educational qualifications of its nearly 1 million members in the UK. The findings show that 72% of female members have higher education qualifications of Bachelor’s Degrees or above whereas male members fared slightly lower with 65%.

Education, however, was not a standalone factor when analyzing a person’s intelligence. The website also cross examined the profiles of 500 currently active members of IllicitEncounters.com and found that 61% spoke more than one language, 48% described themselves as ‘creative’ and 34% ran their own business.

The majority of members on the site are in senior professions and earning high salaries (either in the higher rate or additional rate tax band), it is clear that intelligence impacts success.

“Appearing to have a successful life immediately makes you more desirable.” Claire Page, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said, “It is unsurprising that successful people are faced with temptation when others are instantly attracted to them. Successful people tend to be high earners who have the financial means to indulge in an additional discrete relationship. They are also natural problem solvers and better negotiators who are more likely to take calculated risks – if they see a problem in their marriage but for whatever reason they cannot or do not want to leave, the obvious solution is to have an affair!”

The rise in women choosing to cheat on their spouses could be due to women choosing to focus on their careers and have children later in life, with the average age of women having kids currently at 30 years old. With better financial stability and less commitment, wives choosing to have an affair are on the increase.

The National Opinion Research Centre’s General Social Survey of American Society 2013 confirmed there has been an increase in women having affairs by 40%, while men having affairs remained consistent at 21%. IllicitEncounters.com has also seen an increase of 18% of female members joining the site in the last 12 months alone. With better financial stability, better education and less commitments, attached women choosing to take on another lover are on the rise.

Boris Voted Most Bed-able Politician in Dating Site Version of Snog, Marry, Avoid

mdbpachcgxfnbixnvbkv

With the impending elections, IllicitEncounters.com has asked its members to take part in a slightly different kind of poll. Instead of snog marry and avoid, 500 members were asked which politicians they would most like to cheat with, divorce their spouse for or avoid.

The results reveal that most women would like to cheat with Boris Johnson with over half of the vote (52%) and men would like to be unfaithful with Esther McVey (47%).

In the ‘divorce spouse for’ category Nick Clegg came top for women with 38% and Gloria De Piero for men with 35%.

The politician that has us running for the hills in the ‘avoid’ category is Nigel Farage with a staggering 64% of the vote and Nicola Sturgeon (58%).

Runners up in the ‘most likely to cheat with’ included Jeremy Hunt, Grant Shapps, Penny Mordaunt, Caroline Flint and Elizabeth Truss suggesting that Conservative politicians appeal to a more illicit audience.

David Cameron received 11% of the votes in the marry category whilst Ed Miliband didn’t fare so well receiving 6% of the votes in the avoid category.

The poll was carried out by IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading married dating website with almost 1 million UK members.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Claire Page said “Affairs and politics seem to go hand in hand, from John Major, Bill Clinton to Francois Holland, politicians are stereotypically bad at being faithful.”

“With the results released, the most hilarious finding has got to be Boris Johnson winning the title of person we would most like to cheat with! In a bizarre way, he emulates his hero Winston Churchill. He’s a sensationalist – between his comments on Islamic fundamentalists and suicide bombers, to his very fitting (or not so!) jokes about pro-having and pro-eating policies on cake, he’s certainly gifted at grabbing headlines. You have to admit, he’s got charm, so, in a way, it’s not difficult to see why women like him”

Full details of the winners are listed below:

Have an affair with
Boris Johnson
Marital Status: Married.

Once quoted saying ‘I’ve slept with far fewer than 1000’

“Step in line ladies and form an orderly queue. Since Bojo first came into the public eye we have been fascinated by him, he is brazen and has charisma. There is no denying he has become a symbol for all things London – and with the highest percentage of members from here, it is no surprise we have formed a strong attachment to the politician. He would make an ideal candidate for an affair, picture this –an illicit afternoon cycling along the Thames – although it would be a bit hard to disguise that floppy blonde hair of his!”

Esther Mcvey
Marital Status: Single

Once quoted saying ‘Marriage never came my way, I don’t know why.’

“Former GMTV presenter, also known as Fester Mcvile. She is opinionated and feisty – this slightly intimidating blonde bombshell is exactly the kind of woman a man would fantasize sleeping with outside of their marriage. Reminiscent of a comic book supervillainess, and who wouldn’t want to sleep with Posion Ivy, just once, to see what it’s like?”

Would have a Divorce for
Nick Clegg
Marital Status: Married

Once quoted saying ‘My head spins. One moment I’m told I’m too edgy, then people say I’m too angry, then that I show too much passion … make your minds up,”

“Nick Clegg, a jack of all trades. He is an award winning journalist for the financial times, if you do the math – on that basis alone he would make an excellent prospective partner – the figures point towards financial security. Not only that, he is multilingual in five different European languages – which will make the holidays interesting!”

Gloria De Piero
Marital Status: Married

Once quoted saying ‘I hate to sound like a politician, but we must not allow ladders of opportunity to be taken beyond the reach of ordinary people,’

“Another former GMTV presenter, Gloria De Piero of Italian descent is the stunning girl next door. Someone you would be pleased to introduce to your family – she comes from a humble background and has become a rising star in the political world. Having launched a ‘Why do you hate me campaign’ to establish a better connection with the general public, she aims to challenge negative views of politicians. Beautiful and intriguing – it is no surprise men would leave their wives for her!”

Bubbling under in the ‘Divorce my spouse for’ were Tristram Hunt (27%), David Cameron (11%) and Luciana Berger (28%).

Avoid
Nigel Farage
Marital Status: Married

Once quoted saying ‘I think that politics needs a bit of spicing up.’

“Not the greatest reputation, often coming under fire for his controversial speeches. It seems the general consensus is to avoid this politician, with his extreme views on immigration and wanting to bring back smoking in pubs and clubs – he isn’t exactly popular. Al Murray would have probably fended better with his spoof of Nigel’s UKIP party act, The Pub Landlord.”

Nicola Sturgeon
Marital Status: Married

Once quoted saying ‘Where Mrs Thatcher divided society, I want to do the opposite’

“Let’s face it, with a huge 58% of the vote it is clear that Nicola Sturgeon simply doesn’t have those qualities we look for in a romance. The fact she’s in a committed 12 year relationship also puts her in that no-go zone.”

Other people in the avoid category included Eric Pickles (17%), Ed Miliband (6%) and Leanne Wood (21%).

​Horse-Riding is the Top Fantasy First Date!

wnquvmo8krrqnikoumkz

If you want to seduce a woman, bring a mare with you because new research by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top married dating site, shows that horse-riding is the top fantasy first date. 300 women on the site were asked what their ideal first date was and the most popular choice was ‘horse riding’ with 37% of the votes, beating ‘cinema’, ‘sailing’, ‘candle lit dinner’ and ‘drinks in a pub’.

“When women think about their ideal first date they associate passion and exciting things with romantic success,” psychologist Lucy Redford said, “Although something very over-the-top like a flight to Paris is intimidating and too extravagant, something active like horse-riding takes your mind off the pressure of a first date, it’s fun and shows you’ve put thought into the date because it requires more effort than a few pints in the local. Horses are also associated with wealth, which in itself is attractive, and require a lot of attention and care – and most women look for an attentive, caring man.”

“I am quite surprised that the cinema was the second most popular date,” Claire Page, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said, “Although it’s low-key and it takes the pressure off making great conversation, it can be quite awkward sitting in the dark with someone you don’t know very well. There’s something incredibly romantic about riding a horse alongside a lover, it doesn’t surprise me that it’s the number one fantasy first date. Hollywood has glamorised horse-riding with movies like Seabiscuit, Hidalgo, Something to Talk About and All the Pretty Horses, and there’s something incredibly passionate about darting into the wind on a horse – it’s liberating and exciting.”

‘Horse riding’ scooped 37% of the votes, beating ‘cinema’ (21%), ‘sailing’ (16%), ‘candle lit dinner’ (13%) and ‘drinks in a pub’ (9%). The least popular first dates were hot air balloons trips (2.5%), a football match (2.5%), a trip to a museum (2%), a massage (1.5%), a trip abroad (1%), fringe stand-up comedy (1%) and shopping (0.5%).

​Rise in Estate Agents bringing their mistresses to Show Houses!

dzqklylr3i5ixvoh1nso

There has been a sharp rise in estate agents bringing their mistresses to show houses, both for fantasy house shopping and bedroom rendezvous, according to married dating website, IllicitEncounters.com. One in twenty five (3.8%) people on the adulterous site claim to have had, or currently be in, affairs with estate agents. These people were asked why estate agents are great mistress/ histress material and the top three reasons were:

1)They’re great liars.

2)They’re financially stable.

3)They’re professional and understand the boundaries of an affair.

This fantasy house shopping is well-received by their partners because it “brings a sense of escapism” according to 89 mistresses in London. The most popular show house affair locations were Richmond, Chelsea, South Kensington and Canary Wharf.

“One customer told us she had been taken to a house on Billionaire’s row in Hampstead, North London, which was on the market for £65 million!” Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters said, “The growing trend isn’t difficult to understand – show houses are cheaper and more comfortable than a hotel, although if I thought a high-earning estate agent was bringing me to a show house to save on money, I wouldn’t be impressed, but then again, unlike a hotel bill, it’s more discrete as it doesn’t leave a money trail, so it’s a safer option.”

“Thatcherism began the fantasy house shopping craze.” Psychologist Lucy Redford said, “When the Prime Minister declared her belief in a ‘property owning democracy’, it made the common family believe that through hard work and practical thrift, they could own their own house. For the first time in history, the idea of substantial assets being available to everyone was incredibly attractive – it brought financial security and a great deal of freedom. It’s the same factors that make property buying today so attractive. Fantasy house shopping and property porn are bigger than ever and so the rise of estate agents and property developers bringing their mistresses to lavish houses isn’t difficult to understand.”

You’re caught! The Top Ten Apps that Bust Affairs!

ctadnsqhgaoeh4uvx8u4

You’re caught! The Top Ten Apps that Bust Affairs!

Married dating site IllicitEncounters.com released a list of the top apps that are to blame for breakups. The list was based on votes from 100 women, all who found out their husbands were having affairs on apps.

The top ten adultery-busting apps were:

1) Facebook – The biggest culprit is the social network giant. 76% of women said they became suspicious when they logged into their partner’s Facebook and found out he was messaging other women; stalked his female friends and found out he was still friends with an ex; or saw he had become friends with someone they later discovered he was having an affair with.

2) Whatsapp – 34% of women said their suspicions were raised when they found their husband was in contact with other women, or could see that he was lying about his location, via Whatsapp.

3) i-Message – Any communication through i-Message also goes to your iPad, laptop etc. so if your laptop is at your house, along with your wife, you might get busted. 29% of women said they became aware of their husband’s affair through his i-Message communications.

4) Snapchat – Often mistaken as the best app if you’re having an affair because images are wiped after ten seconds, people forget that you can take a screenshot of your images and that your history shows who you’ve been in contact with. 27% of women said they became suspicious when they saw contact from other women on their husband’s phone via Snapchat – more than half of these women said they would have been less suspicious if they could see what the pictures were, but the secrecy made them more suspicious.

5) Manything – It’s CCTV for your phone, laptop or tablet. It livestreams and records the inside of your house to the cloud. 19% of women said they had caught their husbands cheating or speaking to their mistress on the phone when they were out of the house via Manything.

6) Find my iPhone – This app locates people in seconds so if you leave the house with your phone and you’re not where you say you are, you could land yourself in trouble. 11% of women said they found out their husband was not where he said he was by tracking him with Find my iPhone.

7) Kik – This adult-orientated app has an age restriction, for 17+. More than half of the members (57%) on Illicit Encounters said they use Kik for ‘sexting’ and sending ‘naughty pictures’. 7% of women surveyed said they became concerned about their husband’s fidelity when they saw the Kik app on his phone.

8) Lie Detector: True Scanner app – This is an application that can detect lies through the touch screen and by detecting physical changes in the body of the person being interrogated, such as changes in emotional state, blood pressure, mood detection, finger sweating and finger temperature. 5% of women said they knew their husband was lying about his fidelity when he didn’t pass the lie detector test or refused to take it.

9) Tinder – Discretion is abandoned by anyone having an affair and using Tinder. 4% of women said they doubted their husband’s faithfulness when they saw Tinder on his phone.

10) Find my Friend – 2% of women knew their husband was lying about his whereabouts when this app showed his location to be different to where he said he was.

“What I find most interesting about this list is how obvious some men are!” Claire Page, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said, “Discretion is our main priority and the most important thing when having a successful affair. I wouldn’t encourage anyone to be friends with their mistress or histress on Facebook – it’s just asking for trouble. Four in five breakups are linked with Facebook so if you’re having an affair, don’t learn from you own mistakes – learn from other people’s, and keep it off social media!”

Of the 100 women surveyed who found out their husbands were having affairs on apps, 28% stayed with their husbands. The top three reasons these women stayed with their husbands despite being aware of their husband’s infidelity were:

1) I cannot afford to leave him (57%)

2) I am having an affair too (32%)

3) I don’t want to change the family setup (7%)

Therapists at leading charity ‘Relationships Ireland’ say as many as 80% of marriages they are trying to save have fallen apart partly because of Facebook.

According to a study by journal CyberPsychology, 28 million couples break up every year because of Facebook or Whatsapp.

Hollywood has inspired a generation in their mature years to get married and start affairs, according to new research by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top married dating website, who have seen an 87.5% over the past two years in members over the age of 50.

Although there’s an increase in the number of people getting married in later life, there is also an increase in affairs – over 49,123 of members on IllicitEncounters.com are aged 60+ (an increase of 60% since 2013), while 137,040 are aged 50-59 (an increase of 115% since 2013).

“Our research shows that 71% of women get a confidence boost after an affair. The two biggest age brackets of these women were 50-59 and 40-49 respectfully,” Claire Page, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said, “We believe it’s this confidence boost that helps them leave a bad marriage or else start a new affair – one they deserve! Movies like The Quartet, The Second Best Marigold Hotel, A Song for Marion and The Hundred Foot Journey have all inspired adventure in later life, and love is the greatest adventure of all. Life is short, and it’s shorter when you’re in your mature years. People seem to get a wake-up call with an illness, stroke or health scare and realise how precious time is, and they’d be better off spending it with someone who makes them happy, rather than being trapped in a stale marriage”

There are currently 988,604 members on IllicitEncounters.com, and 186,163 are aged 50+, which means one in every five (19%) having an affair are over 50.

49,123 of members on IllicitEncounters.com are aged 60+ (an increase of 11,882 since 2013, and a 60% increase on the annual average), while 137,040 are aged 50-59 (an increase of 41,293 since 2013, and a 115% increase on the annual average).

After almost 30 years of decline, the number of marriages began to rise since 2013, led by women in their late 50s and male pensioners, to almost 250,000 marriages in 2013, according to the Office for National Statistics.

71% of women get a confidence boost after an affair. Of the women who said they got a confidence boost after an affair, the most popular age brackets were as follows:

1)50-59 (31%)

2)40-49 (24%)
