Most Romantic Food of all Time: Top Ten Foods that get you in the Mood!

wxuyywvhktxwmd1fhvou

Making someone laugh, being physically attractive and intellectually stimulating are all things we associate with turning someone on but new research by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK and Ireland’s largest married dating site, shows that food can be more arousing than any of these. On a first date, good food is almost twice as important as the date’s sense of humour.

500 members on Illicit Encounters were asked ‘what’s the most important thing on a first date?’ The top five answers were as follows:

  • 1)My food is good (32%)
  • 2)My date has a good sense of humour (20%)
  • 3)I look attractive (18%)
  • 4)My date looks attractive (12%)
  • 5)The conversation is intellectually stimulating (10%)

Dietician Nadine Walters said food is so important because it stimulates more of the senses (taste, smell, sight and hearing) than conversation (hearing) or physical presentation (sight and maybe touch). This is a list of her top ten aphrodisiacs and why they turn you on:

  • 1)Chocolate – “Large quantities of chocolate can lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar and a consequent drop below normal levels resulting in fatigue,” Walters said “But cocoa contains phenyl ethylamine, a stimulant that conjures feel-good emotions that makes you feel like getting close to someone and think sex is a fabulous idea.”
  • 2)Red wine – “We all know that alcohol helps you relax and unwind, but red vino contains resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant which helps blood flow and improves circulation before sex which makes you more sensitive.”
  • 3)Asparagus and avocados – “These super-healthy vegetables contain Vitamin E which helps your body produce hormones like oestrogen, testosterone and progesterone, all which circulate in your bloodstream and stimulate sexual responders like the clitoris and the vagina.”
  • 4)Chilies – “Not only do they boost energy, improve memory and even fight fat, they also contain capsaicin, a chemical which boosts circulation to get blood pumping and stimulates nerve endings, which means you’ll feel turned on. Result!”
  • 5)Oysters – “Perhaps the notion of gooey wobbly shellfish being an aphrodisiac is a bit hard to imagine but they’re brimming with zinc, a mineral which increases the production of testosterone, which increases your sex drive.”
  • 6)Bananas – “They give you potassium, a key nutrient to strength, which means when you orgasm, the contractions are very intense.”
  • 7)Pomegranates – “Full of antioxidants, they protect the lining of blood vessels, and improve circulation, which means increased genital sensitivity.”
  • 8)Walnuts – “They’re full of omega-3 fatty acids, which keep sex-hormone production high. Salmon, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, sardines and beef also contain omega-3 fatty acids.”
  • 9)Vanilla – “This sweet bean stimulates nerves and makes sexual sensation feel even better.”
  • 10)Watermelon – “This juicy fruit contains phytonutrient citrulline – this leads to an increase in nitric oxide in your body, which causes blood vessels to relax and speed up circulation. What does all this mean? You’ll get more aroused faster.”

​Green Saturday: the day you’re most likely to ‘Get Lucky’ is Paddy’s Day weekend!

wnzo1q3gai5e38zmoncg

Green Saturday: the day you’re most likely to ‘Get Lucky’ is Paddy’s Day weekend!

Green Saturday is coming – the day of the year that you’re most likely to get lucky – and its three days before Saint Patrick’s Day, on the 14th March.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK and Ireland’s top married dating site, surveyed 500 people and asked them what day of the year they would most likely sleep with someone. The majority of people (68% – 342) said they would sleep with someone the weekend before Paddy’s Day, beating New Year’s Eve, Stephen’s Day and Valentine’s Day.

More than a third of those surveyed (36%) said they would sleep with a stranger or someone they met that night. The majority (289 of 500) said they don’t have a regular sexual partner or don’t have sex regularly. 82% of people said they would be drinking on Saturday the 14th. Those who said they would sleep with someone on Saturday the 14th over Tuesday the 17th said their increased drinking pattern directly impacted on their increased sexual activity, and gave the following reasons for choosing the weekend over the official Saint Patrick’s Day:

  • 1)Sunday can be my day of recovery.
  • 2)I won’t have to call in sick on Wednesday when I’m obviously hung-over.
  • 3)I won’t have to work while hung-over on Wednesday.
  • 4)I won’t be drinking too much on Tuesday because I have work the next day and don’t want to be hung over.
  • 5)I’ll be drunk enough for a one-night-stand because I’ll start drinking early on Saturday.

Alcohol consumption levels are dependent on weather for most, as 59% of people agreed that they would ‘drink less if the weather is bad’. Based on this, people will be drinking more than usual because weather on Saturday is predicted to be clear and sunny (14 Degrees Celsius according to weather.com!).

When asked why they will drink less if the weather is bad the top responses were:

  • 1)I prefer drinking outdoors – riverside, or in a park, or in a beer garden.
  • 2)I can walk from pub to pub without getting a taxi if it’s raining.
  • 3)I like relaxing in the sun when I’m drinking.
  • 4)Drinking outside is more social.
  • 5)I have to drive home if it’s raining, but I can walk if it’s sunny, and drink more.

“It doesn’t surprise me that the top day people will have sex this year is the weekend before Paddy’s Day,” Claire Page, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said, “Paddy’s Day is the biggest drinking day of the year, and people are sexually liberated when they’re drunk, so of course Green Saturday will see a lot of people getting lucky! People are usually better at sex after a drink or two. It makes them less tense, reduces their inhibitions and because alcohol is a social lubricant, people are less awkward after a glass or two. Alcohol in moderation actually makes you more attractive too: it increases blood flow and gives you a nice rosy glow. It also increases your confidence!”

Alcohol abuse costs the state a billion euro a year but Doctor Aoife Murphy explained that alcohol contributes to more people being promiscuous and enjoying the health benefits associated with sex – “People have more sex when they’ve consumed alcohol, particularly with people they’re not in a relationship with. Regular sex has many health benefits – firstly, it improves women’s bladder control. A strong pelvic floor is highly important for avoiding inconsistence, something that affects one in three women at some point in their lives. Sex is like a work out for your pelvic floor. When you have an orgasm, it contracts these muscles, which strengthens them. Sex also lowers systolic blood pressure and it’s a great form of exercise, which is great for weight loss and is good for your heart – as well as raising your heart rate, sex keeps oestrogen and testosterone levels balanced. Sex is also a natural pain reliever, often more powerful than Paracetamol. Vaginal stimulation can block chronic leg and back pain, and I’ve seen many cases where women claim genital stimulation (including self-stimulation) can help migraines, headaches, arthritis and menstrual cramps. It also boots immunity – those who have regular sex have higher levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that helps ward off common cold and flu symptoms.”

Who’s Cheating in Your neighbourhood? UK’s 2015 Infidelity Index Revealed!

cpy6adthmch2lxch6aw6

Beeston is 2015’s most adulterous town in the UK, according to the interactive website–www.infidelityindex.co.uk.

The 2015 Index is released today by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest married dating site and shows the number of people having affairs in every area in the UK. The Index maps IllicitEnounters’ members across the UK giving a very true reflection of where the most and least affairs are taking place.

Beeston is the most unfaithful with 2.54% of the population of the town having an affair. The mayor of Beeston was unavailable to comment on the town’s newfound infamy.

Livingston is the most adulterous town in Scotland and second most adulterous town in the UK with 2.03% of the population straying, while Craigavon in Northern Ireland is the most faithful with only 0.04% of the population having affairs.

“It’s no wonder the traffic to the site is so high.” Claire Page of IllicitEncounters.com said “People are dying to see how many people are having an affair on their street, village or town – who wouldn’t want to know if they live in a cheating hotspot? Thousands of people are checking the Illicit Index to see how many people in their area are having affairs. I think it’s great that Beeston is the most unfaithful town of 2015. People think you’d get more life in a graveyard than in Beeston but the Illicit Index proves one thing: it’s always the quiet ones!”

“There are many reasons people have affairs in small towns like Beeston – feelings of frustration, isolation and loneliness can be contributing factors as well as the limited options in marriage.” psychologist Lucy Redford said, “Discretion is usually the main priority in extra-marital affairs. If secrecy wasn’t important, the individual would seek a divorce before an affair. Oftentimes when passion has left a relationship, but people don’t want to fracture their home status or disrupt a family unit, and they’re not willing to compromise their sex lives, an affair becomes tempting for their situation.”

​Mini and Merc drivers are the Biggest Adulterers!

pvwtkpcekygovvtxuyei

Mercedes and Mini Coopers are the most common cars driven by Britain’s adulterers, according to a new study by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top married dating site. The top car for female members is a Mini Cooper with 19.5% of the votes, while the most popular car for male members is a Mercedes with 23% of the votes. If your spouse drives a Toyota they’re less likely to be having an affair, because the two cars driven least by adulterers are a Prius (0.41% of votes) or a Yaris (0.82%).

“It doesn’t surprise me that the top five cars most driven by male adulterers are all luxury cars,” Claire Page spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said “Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, Bentley and Audi all top the list because our typical male member is better educated, earns more and is more successful than the average British male. Our male members tend to have a lot of disposable income. Annual male membership prices range from £999.99 to £2,040. If they can afford this they’ll most likely have the best of everything in life, including a mistress! Mercedes Benz is the most adulterous car in Britain, their branding clearly depicts this sort of lifestyle – all their advertising sells sex. They’ve had ads banned on numerous occasions and their Superbowl commercial featured a Playmate. It’s no wonder Merc-drivers tend to be men looking for an affair to improve their sex lives!”

Space doesn’t seem to be an issue for female adulterers because the Mini was the top choice for the average mistress, almost doubling the female third most popular option of Mercedes.

“In the same way that a dog takes on the personality of its master, cars tend to reflect personality traits of their owner.” Claire Page said “Interestingly, 68% of men said they associated a ‘flirtatious’ personality with Mini drivers, and this prejudice rang true with it being the car driven most by female adulterers.”

The Prius is largely associated with being boring and safe. In Will Ferrell’s The Other Guys, it’s referred to as a ‘tampon on wheels’. This stereotype seems to be accurate in this study because those driving a Prius tend to be the most faithful, securing only 0.41% of votes, 56 times less than Mercedes drivers!

Those having an affair are keener to update their car more regularly – 69% of IllicitEncounters.com members said they wouldn’t keep a car for more than three years. They also know what they like and tend to stick to it – 62% said they would refresh to a new model before a new brand, while only 38% said they would consider changing brands. 71% of men said they believed driving a nice car would impress a date, while only 32% of women said they would care what their date thought about their car.

The Cars Driven Most by Female Adulterers Percentage
1. Mini Cooper 19.5%
2. Audi 18.71%
3. Mercedes 11.57%
4. BMW 8.37%
5. Volkswagen 6.19%
The Cars Driven Most by Male Adulterers Percentage
1. Mercedes 23%
2. BMW 18.71%
3. Jaguar 11.57%
4. Bentley 8.37%
5. Audi 6.19%
The Cars Driven Least by Adulterers Percentage
1. Toyota – Prius 0.41%
2. Toyota – Yaris 0.82%
3. Kia – Rio 1.02%
4. Ford – Fiesta 1.14%
5. Nissan – Micra 1.26%

​What your drink says about you!

tbh8mtfc40xmp3hmkvle

What your drink says about you!

Your drinks says more about you than your outfit or hairstyle, according to new research released by Illicit Encounters, the UK’s top married dating site. 74% of the 3,000 surveyed members said they could tell more about a person by what they drink than two minutes of small chat. Members were asked to match a personality trait to a list of drinks and the data revealed that 78% of members believe that Champagne is conceited, 58% believe red wine is pretentious, 69% think a Bloody Mary is extroverted, while 64% assume that those who drink a Cosmopolitan are flirtatious.

The study indicates that posher drinks suggest a higher calibre of class. James Bond was on the right track with his choice of spirit, with 72% of members matching the word ‘suave’ to the classic Martini. The cheaper, less sophisticated drinks such as lager are more commonly associated with loudmouths, with 89% relating the word ‘boisterous’ to Beer. We may enjoy our poison of choice – but what does it actually say about our taste, or lack thereof?

Spokesperson for Illicit Encounters Claire Page said “There has always been a social stigma to certain alcoholic drinks. If you think of the typical soccer fan watching a home game at the local stadium, you’d assume he’s got a pint of Fosters in his hand; on the flipside if you consider the drink of choice for a lawyer and his circle of socialites, it’s more likely a bottle of Dom Perignon. It’s a good idea to learn what drink stereotypes are associated with personality traits so you know what to order for a prospective partner, and you don’t offend a classy woman by buying her a pint of Budweiser on your first date!”

The study also found that drinks associated with negative characteristics could only make a person less attractive for 42% of people.

​Gym is Best Place to Hit on Someone, before Pubs, Clubs and the workplace!

xziodbe7saeyux78poxg

Gym is Best Place to Hit on Someone, before Pubs, Clubs and the workplace!

1,000 Brits were surveyed about the best places to hit on someone. The survey was carried out by Illicit Encounters, the UK’s top married dating website, to find out the best and most successful places to flirt with a stranger. The survey found the gym is the best, with the vast majority of people (66%) saying they would be flattered, interested and open to a conversation if someone hit on them when they were working out. The second best place to hit on someone is a dog-walking park, followed by the pub. The stereotypical places to meet someone like clubs or the workplace didn’t make it into the top ten list.

The top ten places were:

  • 1) The gym
  • 2) A dog-walking park
  • 3) The pub
  • 4) Online
  • 5) An interest class, like a writing course, hiking club or art class
  • 6) The market/supermarket
  • 7) Church
  • 8) On holidays
  • 9) House parties/dinner parties
  • 10) Museums/art exhibitions

69% of men were likely to respond positively to being hit on at the gym. The top three reasons were 1) Women are attracted to strength which I can demonstrate at the gym 2) I look my best when I’m working out 3) I feel great at the gym

In comparison, 64% of women were likely to respond positively to being hit on at the gym.

The 36% of women who said they wouldn’t respond positively to flirting at the gym said the top three reasons were 1) I look red and sweaty at the gym 2) I’m not wearing make-up at the gym or if I am wearing make-up it slides off with sweat 3) I don’t want any distractions at the gym.

“The top reasons people want or don’t want to be hit on at the gym are mostly vanity-based,” psychologist Lucy Redford said, “People can flirt anywhere, but there are some places that are better to flirt than others. At the gym or a fitness class it’s not like a first date with the pressure of trying to find something in common, you’ve already got fitness in common. Your body releases happy hormones like endorphins when you work out but your brain also releases a protein called BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) which has a proactive and reparative element to your memory neurons and acts as a reset factor. That’s why we often feel at ease and like things seem better after exercising.”

“It makes sense that the best place to hit on someone is the gym,” Claire Page, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said, “You’re working out, you’re focusing on a positive goal and getting into shape, so someone hitting on you, which is always flattering, is going to be more of a compliment when you’re sweating because it makes you think your exercise regime to look good is working. Dog walking parks are not a huge shocker either. You immediately have things in common, you immediately have things to talk about. Having a dog also says a lot about a person. It shows they’re caring, responsible, affectionate and loyal – all things you usually learn about a person after knowing them for a few days, but knowing it immediately puts you in a better position to speed-track this judgment. People don’t start serious relationships at a club because more often than not, people are too drunk to start anything meaningful, or are with a group of friends who they don’t want to leave to talk to a stranger. Similarly, it can be very intimidating for someone to approach a man or a woman when they’re with a big group of friends. The reason pubs are more popular than clubs is because you can have a better conversation, you’re not shouting over club music. It’s never a good idea to start an office romance because if it turns sour it makes work-life very awkward.”

The survey also found out the worst places to hit on people which were:

  • 1)Doctor’s
  • 2)Funeral Director’s
  • 3)Plane
  • 4)Lingerie Shop
  • 5)Train/tube

If Michael Fassbender couldn’t pull off staring at strangers in Shame then nobody can. 500 females surveyed said people who hit on them on the tube embarrass them because everyone else on the carriage can hear the flirting. They also said they would be inclined to think the man hitting on them was a rapist. Or a serial killer. Or both.

​Top Five Married Actors People Want to Sleep with – Will Ferrell beats Chris Hemsworth!

cyunaygistorivnqbsnc

Top Five Married Actors People Want to Sleep with – Will Ferrell beats Chris Hemsworth!

A study surveying 2,000 members of IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top married dating site, found the top five married actors people want to have affairs with. Interestingly, Will Ferrell beat Hollywood heartthrob Chris Hemsworth and came second out of a choice of thirty actors including Brad Pitt, Megan Fox, Ryan Gosling, Penelope Cruz, Tom Cruise, Daniel Craig, Mila Kunis, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Aniston, none of whom made the top ten.

Out of the top five actors people voted to sleep for, the votes were broken up into the following ratios:

  • 1)Angelina Jolie (24%)
  • 2)Will Ferrell (22%)
  • 3)Beyoncé (21%)
  • 4)Chris Hemsworth (19%)
  • 5)Scarlett Johansson (14%)

“I think the results of this survey are extremely interesting,” Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters said, “The number one female actor people want to sleep with is Angelina Jolie – surprisingly 2% of voters were married women. Girl crushes are certainly on the rise in Britain, but she truly is perfection. The number one male actor people want to sleep with isn’t Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt or even 4th place finalist Chris Hemsworth, it’s Will Ferrell. Sure, he’s not got chiselled abs, as we’ve seen in Blades of Glory, but he’s the funniest man in Hollywood and nothing is sexier than making people laugh – this is especially what our female members look for later in life. They want to have fun and enjoy themselves with their lovers, so Will Ferrell coming top of the list makes perfect sense!”

“Females and males deem different qualities attractive,” said psychologist Lucy Redford, “Usually men focus on appearance initially while women weigh up personality traits. Making someone laugh shows that you’re confident. Recent studies also show that women believe funny men are more intelligent and more honest than those who are serious, and honesty and intelligence are two qualities that make good relationship material, be that long or short term. Speaking purely about evolution, women have always searched for a man who’ll be a good provider and protector; and confidence suggests he’ll be a good protector, while intelligence suggests he’ll be a good provider. This will surely be great news for any man who doesn’t look like Ryan Gosling but can crack a joke!”

The majority of male voters were aged 29-45, earned between £40,000 and £80,000 and were based in England. The majority of female voters were aged 33-49, earned between £30,000 and £70,000 and were also based in England.

Actors Have Better Sex Lives than any other Profession!

nkl8bjtebtgxaxyumzf3

New research released by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top married dating site, shows that actors have better sex lives than any other profession, beating models, lawyers, politicians and bankers. Over 2,000 people were surveyed in twenty different job categories and those in ‘acting and performing’ have more sex and more sexual partners than any other profession.

The 100 people in the ‘acting and performing’ industry have on average five sexual partners a year and have sex three times a week, which was 550% more than those in the ‘banking’ industry who have on average one sexual partner a year and have sex once every two weeks; and 400% more than those in the ‘modelling’ industry, who have on average two sexual partners a year and have sex twice a week.

“Talent is extremely attractive,” said Claire Page, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com “People who have the ability to interpret art and express themselves onstage and on camera will naturally draw admiration. It doesn’t surprise me that actors have better sex lives than any other profession – who wouldn’t want to have an illicit encounter with an up-and-coming Benedict Cumberbatch, Angelina Jolie or Chris Hemsworth? Musical theatre actors especially have to be flexible and in good shape, and taking to the stage every night – even for a play – is extremely physically challenging so I imagine anyone in a West End or off-West End musical will be at their sexual peak.”

“The reason people are attractive is not purely because of their looks,” said psychologist Lucy Redford “Yes, appearance is what initially attract us to someone. It is thought that asymmetrical features are a sign of underlying genetic problems. Numerous studies have shown that men in particular go for women with symmetrical faces. However, confidence and intelligence are also extremely attractive. These characteristics help seal a relationship long-term and are also what make someone, like an actor, attractive to the public. Watching an actor perform, we think they are confident (this trait is assumed when they get on stage or in front of a camera crew) and intelligent (this trait is assumed when they take on the personality of another in playing a role). Some of today’s biggest actors are not symmetrically perfect but are still extremely attractive, like Geoffrey Rush, Willem Dafoe, Seth Rogen and Christopher Walken.”

Proof that Running Prolongs Your SEX Life!

i8e4h3rj1cx7akkem7al

New research by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest married dating site, shows that if you jog as little as once a week, you have a 79% higher chance of being regularly sexually active after the age of 50, than someone who doesn’t exercise.

The research surveyed 1,000 members over the age of 50 who have sex more than once a fortnight, and 1,000 members over the age of 50 who have sex less than once a fortnight or no longer have sex.

Of the 1,000 members who have regular sex, 61% of them (613) jog once or twice a week, while 24% of them (236) jog three times or more a week. 15% of the remaining either regularly exercise in other ways such as yoga, swimming or Pilates (13%), or don’t regularly exercise (2%). Two in ten joggers have sex once a day and sixty five per cent strike up a conversation or ‘check out’ someone of the opposite sex when jogging.

Of the 1,000 members who have sex less than once a fortnight or no longer have sex, only 56 (5.6%) jog once or twice a week, while 12 (1.2%) jog three times or more a week. Less than 4% (37 people) do other regular exercise, such as yoga, swimming or Pilates. A staggering 895 of those who don’t jog or do exercise also don’t have regular sex!

“The health benefits of jogging are fantastic!” said Chris O’Connor, personal trainer “It’s great for diseases like osteoporosis and arthritis because it helps the joints and bones, as well as improving cardiovascular fitness, and of course weight loss. People don’t realize there are a lot of mental benefits to running. It’s the number one natural solution to depression and anxiety because your body releases endorphins when you jog – that’s why so many people get addicted. It makes sense that people who jog regularly have a better sex life than those who don’t. When you jog you have more energy, you’re more flexible, you have better breathing and stamina, your testosterone levels increase – of course you’re going to have sex more often!”

Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters said “We get so many emails from customers who talk about the direct link between keeping fit and having a better sex life. Who wants to have sex when they’ve put on weight, feel out of shape or fat? Nobody! Our members are typically more successful, wealthier and in better shape than the average person their age. It doesn’t surprise me that so many of them are joggers, nor does it surprise me that the regular joggers have regular sex. If your sex life needs a spring clean, get your trainers on!”

​Pancake Tuesday – the new Valentine’s Day for Mistresses

aiqrpeppdk0j01duwgai

Last week, over one billion Valentine’s cards were sent throughout the world, but new research by IllicitEncounters.com reveals that there is a second celebration of love coming up – Pancake Tuesday is the closest national celebration men will spend with their mistresses, because spending Valentine’s Day away from their wives is “too obvious”.

The poll, which surveyed 2,000 IE male members, found that 68% (1361) of men having an affair will spend the week after Valentine’s with their mistresses, and Pancake Tuesday was the top date men said they will spend with their mistresses scooping 72% of the votes.

1,000 of our female members were asked ‘Would you like your husband to surprise you with pancakes in bed on Pancake Tuesday?’ and 98% of them said ‘yes’. Despite this, when the men were asked ‘Will you make a pancake for your wife?’ only 43% said they would.

The 57% who won’t, were asked ‘Why won’t you make a pancake for your wife?’ the top three answers were:

1)She won’t like the way I make it

2)She’s busy getting ready for work in the morning

3)She’ll complain about the mess in the kitchen

When asked if they will buy or bake a pancake for their mistress, the majority of the surveyed said they would (61%) and the most popular flavourings were traditional butter, lemon and sugar; followed by Nutella.

The survey also found that married men spent more on their wives than mistresses –on average, the 2,000 surveyed men spent an average of £147.60 on Valentine’s gifts for their lovers compared to just £120 on their spouse. Mistress gifts were also more likely to be more sensual, like lingerie, champagne or chocolates, compared to practical gifts for their wives, like a phone upgrade or a new purse.
