Adultery Set to Peak, As Back to School Sends Love Rats Back to Bed

Image result for affair

  • Children back at school has sent adulterous parents back to bed
  • IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, has seen a 10% year-on-year increase in registrations for the first 10 days of September
  • Over 2,500 people have joined the site in September so far, with the luxury of an empty house affording them the perfect opportunity to cheat
  • 75% of all registrations for the first 10 days of September have been women, as almost 90% of stay at home parents are women, according to the Office for National Statistics

Acts of adultery have hit fever pitch in the month of September, a new report suggests.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, has seen a 10% year-on-year increase in registrations for the first 10 days of September, with over 2,500 people joining the site.

“It’s down to education,” explains the site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant.

“To be more specific, it’s down to children, teens and young adults returning or making their first foray into schools, colleges and universities.

After a busy summer period, a lot of parents might be initially grateful of a house devoid of people, especially if it’s young kids or unruly teenagers.

However, an empty house is conducive to an affair. There’s the obvious reason: you’ve got an empty space and several hours to meet up with whomever you please, but there’s more to it than that.

Periods of isolation allow for contemplation and self-reflection, and it’s in these periods of thought, without any distractions, that husbands and wives begin to truly come to terms with the flaws in their marriages.”

Interestingly, the site has seen a greater number of women joining the site than men in the first 10 days of September, with women making up 75% of registrations so far.

Grant explains:

“We’ve always had a majority of female registrations in previous Septembers, and this hasn’t changed. While there are far too many variables at play to pinpoint a specific reason for this, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that the overwhelming majority of parents who stay at home are women.

While this number is decreasing every year, a report from the Office for National Statistics in 2015 stated that 2.01 million of 2.26 million of those unemployed because they are at home and/or taking care of their family are women.

In other words, the lonely person in the empty house is far, far more likely to be a woman.”

Revealed: You’re LESS Likely to Stray If You Own This Domestic Pet…

Image result for dog owner man

  • Dog owners are happier, healthier and now they’re more faithful than any other pet owner too, new research has revealed
  • IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, found that just 10% of over 700 members surveyed owned dogs, making dog owners the most faithful
  • The least faithful among us are cat owners (25%), while 16% own fish and 11% rabbits
  • A dog’s qualities, such as loyalty and unconditional love, are often reflected in their owner

If your marriage has hit a ruff patch, you better hope you’re married to a dog lover. Research released today by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, has shown that just 10% of over 700 members surveyed are dog owners, making dog owners the most faithful pet owners in the UK.

On the other hand, as many as 25% owned cats, with 16% owning fish, 13% hamsters/gerbils, 11% rabbits and 11% reptiles.

The site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains:

“There has already been a plethora of scientific studies that claim that owning a dog, or dogs, makes you happier and healthier, and now you can add loyalty to that list.

It’s an interesting, if not unexpected result. Man’s best friend is the UK’s most popular pet, and has been for a very long time, but not among this particular community it seems.

A dog’s qualities are usually reflected in their owner, and loyalty, unconditional love, friendship and a sense of protectiveness are qualities that everyone associates with canines, regardless of their size, breed or gender.

By the same token, a cat’s loyalty is a little more unclear. Often lazy, they’ve been known to drift to whomever is offering them more food, so it’s of little surprise to see that lack of loyalty reflected in our study.”

With that said, not every dog owner is squeaky clean, as Grant admits:

“We’re not so foolish to say that every dog owner is the perfect human being – we can’t justify that sort of generalization. In fact, we’ve a couple of members who breed greyhounds for a living, while many work closely with dogs, be that as a vet, volunteer worker, dog walker or otherwise.”

Adulterous Pet Owners:

1. Cat (25%)

2. Fish (16%)

3. Other/no pet (14%)

4. Hamster/Gerbil (13%)

5. Rabbit (11%)

6. Reptile (11%)

7. Dog (10%)

The Grass Really IS Greener, As Married Women Fantasise Most About Seducing Their Gardener​s

Image result for gardener sexy

  • Married women fantasise about seducing their gardeners more so than anyone else, a new survey has revealed
  • Other popular responses included firemen, fitness instructors and mechanics
  • 77% of married women admitted to flirting and making passes to those in the aforementioned professions
  • The least sexy profession, and the one women would least like to seduce, was postmen (20%)
  • The results come from a survey of over 650 married women on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

Gardeners are officially the most popular fantasy of married women across the UK. According to IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, 34% of a survey of over 650 women confessed that they’d most like to seduce gardeners.

Other popular responses included firemen (16%), fitness instructor (12%), mechanic (10%) and carpenter (7%).

The site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains:

“Women know what they want, and there’s evidently a common theme here. Your stereotypical image of a gardener is a hot, topless and well-built man, and the same could be said of firemen, fitness instructors and the other popular responses.

Times have changed, and with the married women on our site mainly stuck in sexless marriages, they don’t want to sit and wait for someone to court them – they’re dominant, and they’ll seek the initiative to turn their seduction fantasy into a reality.”

The fantasy also derives from its plausibility, with as many as 77% respondents admitting that they’ve flirted and made passes with men in the aforementioned professions.

“It’s a not too uncommon scenario,” explains Grant.

“If one’s husband is out of the house, and the incredibly attractive gardener, plumber (or whatever it may be) is alone with the married women in question… well, it’s easy to put two and two together and make four.”

Interestingly, the survey also revealed the professions that they’d least like to seduce, with postmen, delivery men, milkmen and IT technician topping this particular list with 20%, 18%, 12% and 10% of the vote respectively.

“While we all eagerly anticipate the postman or delivery man knocking on our door when we’re awaiting a package, we’re more interested in what’s in their hand than the messenger themselves. I’m afraid that there’s very little that’s deemed charming, sexy or even remotely attractive about these jobs.”

Professions Women Would Most Like to Seduce

  1. Gardener (34%)
  2. Other (21%)
  3. Fireman (16%)
  4. Fitness Instructor (12%)
  5. Mechanic (10%)
  6. Carpenter (7%)

Professions Women Would Least Like to Seduce

  1. Other (40%)
  2. Postman (20%)
  3. Delivery Man (18%)
  4. Milkman (12%)
  5. IT Technician (10%)

Husbands Beware: Surveyors Are More Likely to Inspect Your Wife Than Your House

  • Surveyors have an affair while on the job more than any other profession, a new survey of over 3,000 people has revealed
  • Plumbers, carpenters and electricians are also among the most adulterous during work hours, finishing 2nd to 4th respectively
  • 55% cited the freedom of movement their job affords as the biggest factor behind their ability to have an affair while at work
  • 40% stated that being self-employed was the number one factor
  • The results are brought to you by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity

Less interesting than a fireman, not as heroic as a doctor – being a surveyor seldom turns heads.

Slip under the radar they might, but perhaps they shouldn’t, as a new survey has revealed that surveyors are the most likely to have an affair while on the job.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, surveyed over 3,000 men from a variety of different disciplines, with over 60% admitting to having an affair while on the job. Of those who said yes, 15% were surveyors.

A string of manual labour jobs, namely plumbers, carpenters and electricians, occupied positions two to four, with 13%, 12% and 10% respectively.

The survey also found that almost a third (31%) of respondents who admitted to having an affair while working also said that they are having an affair with more than one person, while 55% cited the freedom of movement their job affords as the biggest factor behind their ability to have an affair while at work – 40% stated that being self-employed was the number one factor.

Christian Grant, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, explains:

“The key word here is ‘freedom.’ Being out of the office for hours on end, without the peering eyes of your boss or colleagues, gives you a ton of time and a whole lot of opportunity. And with surveyors often travelling the length and breadth of the country, they can expand their horizons and meet people far outside their locale, decreasing the risk that they’ll be spotted by someone from their neighbourhood.

Similarly, electricians, plumbers and carpenters are regularly on the move, but they can often be their own boss too. They decide their own hours, pick and choose their own clients, and ultimately have no one to report to.

They’ll pop a text to their partner to let them know that a job has overrun and shoot off to fix someone else’s plumbing, so to speak.

In contrast, it’s very difficult for a doctor or a teacher for example to find an opportunity during the working day to meet with their mistress.”

The full results are as follows:

Most Likely to Cheat While on the Job:

  1. Other (24%)
  2. Surveyor (15%)
  3. Plumber (13%)
  4. Carpenter (12%)
  5. Electrician (10%)
  6. Higher Management/Senior Executives (9%)
  7. Lawyer (7%)
  8. Gardener (6%)
  9. Holiday Rep (4%)

A Parliamentary Affair – Gove Repels More than Just Conservative Voters

  • Men and women would most like to cheat with Stephen Crabb and Gloria De Piero respectively
  • Most men would completely avoid Nicky Morgan, while Michael Gove sends most women running for the hills
  • Most men would leave their wife for Theresa May, thanks to her solvency and power, while most women would do the same for Nick Clegg
  • Outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron earned just 2% of the female vote for the politician women would most like to have an affair with, with 3% voting for him in the ‘avoid’ category.
  • 18% of women would avoid Nigel Farage entirely
  • The results are brought to you by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading authority on infidelity

Underneath the political civil war and seemingly impending doom and gloom of a post-Brexit Britain, IllicitEncounters.com, the leading authority on infidelity, asked its members to take part in a slightly different kind of poll, with over 1,000 of them voting on which politician they would most like to have an affair with, divorce their spouse for or avoid entirely.

The results reveal that most women (30%) would most like to have an affair with conservative MP Stephen Crabb, while men would most like to be unfaithful with Labour MP Gloria De Piero – she received 40% of the male vote.

Perhaps rather surprisingly, Theresa May was voted as the politician that most men would divorce their partner for (33%), with 75% of those who voted for her citing her solvency and seemingly imminent rise to the top table as their main reasons for doing so.

The women approached things from a different angle; not choosing someone who was in power, rather someone who has recently relinquished it, as 30% would divorce their husband for former Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg.

33% of those who voted for Clegg did so because they thought he was a decent and genuine man, while 25% said that they thought he would make a good father.

And for the politician that most people would avoid? Well, Michael Gove was a comfortable winner here, raking in 40% of the female vote, while Jeremy Corbyn finished in 2nd place with 20% of the vote.

Men, meanwhile, would most avoid education secretary Nicky Morgan, who gained 35% of the vote. She beat Shadow Health Secretary Diane Abbot, who came second with 25% of the vote.

Outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron earned just 2% of the female vote for the politician women would most like to have an affair with, with 3% voting for him in the ‘avoid’ category.

Former Labour leader Ed Miliband edged out Cameron in both categories, receiving 3% and 4% of the vote respectively.

Former UKIP leader and Brexit figurehead Nigel Farage received 10% of the female vote for the politician women would most like to have an affair with, but 18% would avoid him entirely.

“Politicians are rarely known for their beauty…” says IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, “…but there are certainly a few presentable MPs.

It was no surprise to see the presentable Stephen Crabb and Gloria De Piero top their respective polls.

With that having been said, perhaps the most notable point is the difference between men and women when it came to the politician they’d most likely divorce their own partner for.

While men gravitated to Theresa May for her power and status – and less so her physical appearance – women placed more importance on different issues, voting for who they felt was the most decent and honest person, as well as who would make the best father.”

Full details of the winners (and/or losers) are listed below:

Men With Big Feet Are More Likely to Cheat!

  • Men with a shoe size of 10 or over are at least twice as likely to cheat on their partner, compared to those with a shoe size of less than 10
  • The most common shoe size for adulterous men was 10.5
  • Many famous celebrity cheats, including Bill Clinton and Tiger Woods, sport a shoe size of 10 or over
  • There was no correlation to be found between adultery and shoe size when it came to women
  • The research was conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

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.

Techies are logging on to married dating sites!

 

IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s largest married dating site has seen a 12% increase of IT workers joining the affairs site to seek out a lover.

The affairs site currently has 13,200 active users who work in Information Technology, with a spike of 12% in the last year alone. Interestingly the year before IT workers using the site were on the decline by 5%.

The most significant rise of techies signing up to the site is seen in London – possibly coinciding with many of the hot new tech start-ups popping up all over East London, creating a tech-savvy culture hub of likeminded individuals. Most notably Silicon Roundabout aka Tech City in Shoreditch, here many major tech companies reside; it is also a very sociable part of London that has a plethora of bars and clubs.

Perhaps the common IT guy is now far removed from being cooked up in a stuffy dark room with only his high spec screens for company, and is instead placed in a high rise, air conditioned tech hub with plenty of places to seek out further entertainment once the office closes for the day.

Sam, a 36 year old Software Specialist who uses the site, said “My life and job is very orderly. I have a 9am-6pm job although I often work late, I have a coordinated family life, and work is financially rewarding and very stable. I do feel under pressure to do well at work and provide for my family, and I feel quite anxious in proving for myself in day-to-day life.

It means when I do have some freedom, I want to do something a little out of character – it’s exhausting always doing what is expected of you. I like to meet new and interesting girls to feed my need to learn and grow – it takes a very unique man to limit himself to one woman for their entire life. I guess I get the best of both worlds, tell me one man who wouldn’t want that?”

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Claire Page said ‘The IT guy used to be the janitor-looking creep who came to fix whatever computer issue you were having back in high school. That IT guy no longer exits, now he is a liberal, beard brandishing, and smart talking Mr. Cool from the tech department – and boy do we like to break our computers to have them come lean over and fix them! Why are more techies cheating on their partners? Simply because the World Wide Web has made it easier and more discrete, and nobody knows how best to cover up their tracks or clear their browser history then the IT guy!”

With This New Calendar Women Can Have A Different Married Man Every Month!

dxgmbbwfnkuxlqeddi3p

In a bid to attract new female members to married dating site IllicitEncounters.com, the married men of the site have been featured in their very own 2015 calendar. With nearly 1 million members in the UK the dating site is hoping showing off some of the their male members will encourage new female members to join the site.

The site, which exists to help married people find an extra marital relationship is celebrating 2015 by producing its first ever calendar. The calendar features real male members of the site, who have carefully concealed their identity whilst showing off their physique.

Spokesperson from IllicitEnconters.com Mike Taylor commented; “We have been helping married people find new relationships for over 10 years now, and we wanted to find a way to show off the great guys we have on the site. Because our members are looking for privacy and discretion it is hard to find ways to show off how great or members are. That is where the idea for the calendar came from, showing our members in a way which protects their identity but also shows women the vast array of men who are on the site.”

Mr July (24HoursFromTulsa) added: “I am looking for a little excitement outside of my current relationship, I still feel youthful and I want to share that with someone who has the same lust for life that I have. That’s why I joined Illicit Encounters and wanted to be in the calendar.”

The calendar follows research from illicit encounters that revealed over one third of people believe they have married the wrong person and over sixty per cent of people wouldn’t think less of a friend if they where revealed to be having an affair.

The Calendar is available to buy from www.calendarcheats.com and will make the perfect gift for someone looking to spend the year with exciting new men.

Sean Connery Tops Sexy Over 60’s Poll!

 

Women have voted Sean Connery the sexiest over 60 celebrities. The smouldering Scottish Actor who is 82, has been voted as the over 60 star, who women would like to ditch their other half for.

The former James Bond has previously been voted as the Sexiest man of the Century in 1999 and has been named as one of the 100 sexiest men in film history and can now add sexiest man over 60 to his accolades.

Harry Potter star Alan Rickman 67, came in second in the poll of 2,900 female members of leading dating website Illicitencounters.com.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor said; “Maturity is becoming a more common trait we are seeing members looking for in a partner. We have seen an increase in the number of women joining who are less concerned about a mans age and more attracted to their experience and intelligence. Their has also been an increase in the number of so called sliver foxes signing up and highlighting their salt and pepper locks.”

Another former James Bond came in third, the classically Shakespearian trained Timothy Dalton beat competition from Welsh crooner and The Voice star Tom Jones, who beat musicians Rod Stewart, David Bowie and Eric Clapton all of which made the top ten on the list.

However the survey was bad news for Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, who despite being in the midst of a sold out world tour and headlining Glastonbury this summer, only just scraped into the top 10.

Name Age Percentage
Sean Connery 82 26%
Alan Rickman 67 18%
Timothy Dalton 69 12%
Tom Jones 72 10%
Jeremy Irons 64 9%
Rod Stewart 68 8%
David Bowie 66 6%
Eric Clapton 68 5%
Roger Moore 85 3%
Mick Jagger 69 1%

Working Longer Hours Can Lead To An Affair

Spending more hours in the office is leading to a rise in affairs in the workplace according to a recent study by Notatwork.co.uk and married dating site IllicitEncounters.com. The research revealed that people who regularly worked over 45 hours a week are almost 5 times more likely to embark on an extra marital affair.

It estimated that more than seven million people a year in the UK work unpaid extra hours to hold on to their jobs. The study revealed that employees that regularly do more that 50+ hours a week are those working in the Video games industry, financial sector, medicine, journalism, and the emergency services. With all of them having a much higher than average number of work-based affairs.

The most common reason the respondents gave for working longer hours was that workload has increased in recent years and they fear for their jobs, so they work longer hours to make sure they are secure. The video games industry has long had a reputation of having to work long hours with developers doing 12 to 16 hours a day for three to four months at a time, without extra pay due to the belief if they don’t they will be replaced by younger cheaper talent.

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 increases exponentially when working hours are increased.”

Unemployment fell to 2.5 million between October and December last year and there are 580,000 more people in work than a year ago, but staff are being squeezed into working longer hours whilst taking home less, with average earnings growth slowing to just 1.4%, below the 2.7% inflation rate.

Employers need to recognise that squeezing more hours out of their workers is counter-productive in more ways than one. 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 those is going to be of any long term benefit to any business.
