‘Cheating map’ Reveals Britain’s Top 140 Towns for extra-marital Affairs!

* High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire is Britain’s cheating capital with 2,119 men and women having affairs;
* Brentwood in Essex is the most faithful town – shattering the myth that Essex girls (and boys) are promiscuous;
* High proportion of wealthy commuter towns in the top 10;
* New interactive Infidelity Index lists the number of people having affairs in Britain’s 140 towns leading towns;
* Infidelity Index has been put together by IllicitEncounters.com – Britain’s leading dating website for married people

The most adulterous town in the UK is posh High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, according to a new table of the country’s 140 cheating hotspots.

The middle class commuter town has been officially named as the place where a husband or wife is most likely to have an affair.

Wealthy High Wycombe has 2,119 people cheating out of a population of 120,256.
The interactive Infidelity Index allows users to search a town to discover how many people are having affairs in any locality.

High Wycombe came out highest, with 2.12% of the population cheating.

In second place was another middle class commuter town, Guildford in Surrey, with 1,250 cheats (2.05% of the population) and Aldershot in Hampshire came third.

Cumbernauld, fifth in the overall UK table, was Scotland’s cheating capital. Wrexham, a lowly 55 in the UK table, was Wales’s cheating capital – suggesting that couples in the Principality are having fewer affairs than elsewhere in the UK.

Many of the towns with the highest numbers of cheats are wealthy areas in the south of England.

The most faithful town, perhaps surprisingly, was Brentwood in Essex – shattering the myth that Essex girls (and boys) are promiscuous. Brentwood is where many of the cast of the TV show The Only Way Is Essex live or socialise.

Famous people from High Wycombe include the TV chef Heston Blumenthal, comedian Jimmy Carr, actor James Corden and TV presenter Fern Britton.

With an average house price of £269,681 – far above the national average of £188,270 – it is one of the most desirable places to live in the UK.

The figures were compiled by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people.

They are based on its own extensive data on the numbers of Britons cheating.

Since its inception 13 years ago, more than 1 million people have registered with the site.
IllicitEncounters.com has seen a 20% surge in registrations in the last five years because many couples simply cannot afford to divorce due economic pressures and ever-rising house prices.

llicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said: “We are increasingly popular in commuter towns like High Wycombe, Guildford, Maidenhead and Ashford. They are doing a lot more than just twitching curtains in Acacia Avenue.

“Spiralling house prices have made divorce increasingly difficult for many couples. They are struggling along unhappily because they simply cannot afford to set up two homes.

“IllicitEncounters.com provides an outlet for men and women who would have an affair whether we were there or not. In coming to us, they can be assured of meeting a like-minded partner seeking some added excitement in their life who doesn’t want to upset things at home.”

Good News: It’s not cheating if it’s abroad!

 

One third of Adulterers believe that cheating doesn’t count when it’s done abroad.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extra-marital affairs site, surveyed 1000 of it’s members and discovered that a whopping 33% admitted that they didn’t feel having a fling abroad was cheating.

The survey found that 28% of affair-seekers were planning a trip abroad to engage in some illicit fun this summer.

The surveyed also voted on the top European cheating destinations and found Prague to be the top contender.

What is interesting is that cheaters actually believe what they’re doing doesn’t constitute as cheating as long as it’s done on holiday; perhaps the anonymity of infidelity abroad minimizes the guilt factor, thus making it feel less deceptive.

Sierra, a female member using the site, said “What happens on holiday stays on holiday! It’s a universal rule. Every year I book a girlie getaway with my close pal Donna, who’s also married by the way. Our summer breaks are always very eventful, but nothing I want to write home about! Let’s just say a cheeky fling is always on the agenda, Donna and I both know it’s only some harmless fun. Our husbands drop us off at the airport and they’re right where we left them when we get back, none-the-wiser and perfectly happy to see us after a little break from each other. It’s win-win.”

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Claire Page said “Let’s be honest here, what do you actually expect goes on – on a girls or lads holiday? Plenty of married people play away on holidays abroad; it’s just something nobody bats an eye at anymore.

Is it cheating? Apparently some think not, I can totally understand the thought process behind this though. The reason some people harbour any ill feelings towards their infidelity is due to the baggage that may follow them around, but if you can drop the baggage off on the conveyor belt at the airport – then the weight is quite literally off your shoulders.

If the problem doesn’t follow you home, then there’s no problem at all. So can cheating abroad not count? Yes, if you don’t let it.”

Prague – Czech Republic

Majorca – Spain

Barcelona – Spain

Dublin – Ireland

Amsterdam – Netherlands

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!”

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.

David Cameron, Ed Milliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage receive Mistresses for the New Year?

New research released today showed that cheaters are twice as likely to be in political jobs than those in low-salary brackets. UK political leaders, including Prime Minister David Cameron, Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage have this week received posted invites from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top married dating site, encouraging them to cheat online.

Psychologist Lucy Redford said that men in power are more likely to cheat because “The feeling of invincibility is a natural by-product of the rise to political power. They feel like they won’t get caught, or if they do get caught they believe they will be able to talk their way out of it, which politicians are very good at.”

The research found that of the 1,000 cheating people surveyed, 235 of them were earning over £60,000, in political roles such as senior civil servants, head of government departments, parliamentary officials, political representatives or local councillors; compared to the 110 earning under £28,000, and in junior management or executive roles.

Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters said there are many high-profile politicians using the website – “Our priority for us and for our customers is discretion. We facilitate affairs easily in a stress-free environment, where the big players look for escapism from their high-pressure professional life. Those in politics are particularly unfaithful, such as French president François Hollande, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Vance McAllister. It’s so common today that people barely bat an eyelid when they hear that yet another politician has had an affair. Hollande actually got a popularity boost after his affair revelations!

“Today, a lot of marriages, especially in politics, are more business unions, such as the partnership between Bill and Hillary Clinton. The spark in the marriage may have gone, but there are other reasons to stay, such as voters’ support which is increased with a united façade, but why should they lose out on any romanticism or sex life when they can still have it so easily online?”

British Men Describe Their Ideal Woman – Where You Live Can Affect Your Choice Of Partner.

 

Leading extramarital dating website, IllicitEncounters.com, has released its largest ever study to discover what regional men find attractive in women. Illicit Encounters surveyed 1,500 of its male members in each region of the UK, to find out what personality and physical traits they look for in their dream partner.

South of England: Savvy men in the South are attracted to a woman who is smart, cool and on trend. They like a slim, sharp dresser who works hard and plays hard. Striking and tall at 5ft 11inches, coupled with a personality that is up for anything gets the vote of the Southern quarter.

Think: Amber Heard

The Midlands: The warm men of the Midlands are looking for ladies with equally nurturing personalities, a big heart and a love of good food.  A tall busty beauty with a cracking sense of humour, and a height of 5ft 5 inches would tick all their boxes in the search for Ms right.

Think: Christina Hendricks

North of England: These guys like a laugh and some sweet loving teamed with loyalty and an appreciation of family life. They are looking for a best friend who is bubbly, brunette and one of the boys. Height wasn’t as important as a gorgeous smile and a sexy giggle in the North.

Think: Cheryl Cole

Ireland: The luck of the Irish ladies depends on sexiness and confidence, with an air of mystery and tease. Ladies with classically pretty features, and an ultra feminine side teamed with a sassy attitude captivate Irish men nationwide. Blondes were also preferred to brunettes.

Think: Scarlett Johansson

Scotland: Not only do they like their independence as a nation, they also like their ladies to be strong, feisty and in control of their own lives. Sultry dark hair, deep brown eyes and an average desired height of 5ft 8inches gets the under the kilt of these guys each time.

Think: Beyoncé

Wales: Welsh Men are on the lookout for a woman who averages 5ft 7inches tall, has long dark hair and a classic hourglass figure. 100% all woman is want the Welsh want, along with a lady who is game for a laugh, chatty and social.

Think: Kelly Brook

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor commented: “These findings show that men across the UK have very different tastes in women, and what they find attractive varies from hair colour to sense of humour. What this study shows is that there is not ‘one type’ of woman for all men, and that you are probably someone’s type, even if you have to go across country to find them.”

The study also asked the male respondents to anonymously rate what they felt was more important for a relationship: personality or physical appearance. The results showed that a staggering 68% of men said that they found personality as or more important as physical appearance.

End.

Tennis loving cheats are looking for some ‘Wimblefun’ this summer.

Suspicious husbands may want to keep an eye on their spouses during the upcoming Wimbledon Championships as a new study by the UK’s largest extramarital site,IllicitEncounters.com, has shown that an overwhelming amount of female adulteresses enjoy a spot of tennis (and not just the tonsil kind).

The site quizzed its database of 900,000 adulterers on which sports they will be either watching or partaking in this summer, and it seems the sport played as singles is the top choice of ladies who are already part of a duo.‘F1’ and ‘Football’ topped the male charts, but just over 40% of the female membership reported a keen interest in playing and watching tennis – new balls please? Cycling and Rugby also appeared high on the list, however in the wake of the world cup, Football appeared last.

Mike Taylor Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com commented: “tennis, which has long had a tradition predominantly of the middle and upper-classes, is an appropriate interest for the Illicit demographic. Through research we have learnt that the majority of our members are high earning, high achieving, and living in more rural areas like Devon and Berkshire. In cities, gyms are so expensive and there is little space for those who wish to pin up a net, and despite the fact that tennis has undergone a bit of a rebrand in the last ten years, many would still consider it a ‘posh’ sort of sport. In context, we can see why our members, and cheaters overall, would rank tennis higher on their interests list, than the rest of the population.”

The website also asked their female members which male tennis stars make them reach for ice cold water and a towel: gorgeous Spaniard Rafael Nadal topped the list of lust, beefy Argentinian Juan Martin del Potro makes them reach for their racket, as does Maria Sharapova’s Bulgarian boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov, the Swiss master Roger Federer came forth in their hearts, and the strapping German Tommy Haas is number five for a love – love dream match. Unfortunately Andy Murray did not get the ladies pulses racing with just 2% of the vote.

The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) refused to comment on the findings.

End

1 Rafael Nadal 23%
2 Juan Martin del Potro 17%
3 Grigor Dimitrov 13%
4 Roger Federer 11%
5 Tommy Haas 10%

Andy Murray received 2% of the female votes.

The Great British Bloke Breakdown – Women from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland describe their ideal man

Leading extramarital dating website, IllicitEncounters.com, has released its largest ever study into what regional women find attractive in men. Illicit Encounters surveyed 1000 of its female members in each region of the UK, to find out what personality and physical traits they look for in a man.

Scotland: The perfect Scottish man is over 6ft tall, medium build with strawberry blond hair, strong willed and with a sensitive side. The strong silent type whose actions speak louder than words will win the heart of these ladies.

Think: Damian Lewis

Wales: Welsh women are on the look out for a man who averages 5ft 7inches tall, dark haired with a few extra-pounds on for that killer cuddle. A sociable man with a good sense of humour was top of the list.

Think: Jack Black

Ireland: Irish women are looking for a man who is 5ft 10, dark haired with a toned body; they are especially attracted to an intense and brooding personality. Someone that would show them a good time and enjoy an active lifestyle was equally as important as smouldering good looks.

Think: Colin Farrell

The Midlands: These ladies like a man to be man. Strong, reliable, fun to be around and whose girlfriends will love him. Physically well set, averaging 6ft tall, dashing, always ready to jump in and be her hero while being a big softy on the inside.

Think: Idris Elba

South of England: Women in the south of England are especially attracted to men who are approximately 5ft 11 inches tall with a good head of dark hair; they are also looking for a man who is intellectually stimulating and crave a strong mental connection, and admire healthy ambition.

Think: Professor Brian Cox

North of England: Men who are over 6ft and have a strong muscular physique are the most attractive to women in the north of England. They want a man who will cherish and spoil them while being dependable, loyal and hard working.

Think: Chris Hemsworth

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Mike Taylor commented: “These findings show that across the UK women have very different tastes in the men, and what they find most attractive varies from height to a mental connection. In a relationship where intimacy is no longer present it can make people feel they are no longer attractive – what this study proves is that no matter how unattractive you may feel, you are probably just someone’s type.”

The study also asked the female respondents to rate anonymously what they felt was more important when looking for an illicit relationship: personality or physical appearance, the results where that a staggering 74% of women found personality more important than appearance.

Charming Brits oust Hollywood Hunks topping 2014 sexiest actors poll

With the BAFTAs taking place in London’s Royal Opera House this weekend, the british film industry is set to take over from the palm trees of Hollywood this award season, but it’s not just the incredible films the UK has turned out in 2013 that has got the world’s attention – it’s the British male actors that have ladies everywhere in a spin according to the UK’s leading dating website for extramarital affairs, IllicitEncounters.com.

Illicit Encounters ran a poll asking their female members who makes their heart’s beat faster on screen, and the top objects of desire were: Benedict Cumberbatch 38% in first place, followed by Tom Hiddleston 27%, and Michael Fassbender 19% third. This is a total turnaround from the 2013 poll which put Wolverine star Hugh Jackman 48% first, the ultra smooth Bradley Cooper 29% second, and the handsome Denzel Washington third with 16%.

British talent really did takeover in 2013, dominating our screens at home and cinema. Benedict Cumberbatch has won the heart of the nation with his fantastic take on Sherlock, giving new life to one of the Uk’s best loved detectives, he also earned a National Television Award for ‘Best Detective’ early this year, and played a plantation owner in Steve McQueen’s brilliant Academy Award and BAFTA nominated ’12 Years a slave’.

Dashing RADA trained Tom Hiddleston was close behind his friend Cumberbatch as heartthrob number two. Hiddleston has become a Hollywood star in his right by playing the villain Loki in the Marvel ‘Thor’ movies, as well as just ending a sell out run at the Donmar Warehouse in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus; Hiddleston’s star is firmly on the rise. Rough and ready German Irish actor Michael Fassbender takes third place, with lead roles in ‘The Counselor’ and also ’12 Years a Slave’ in 2013, Fassbender has secured his place among some of today’s greatest actors – and if you saw him ‘Shame’, it’s not hard to understand why the ladies love him.

Classically Hollywood’s leading men top all the sexiest males polls, but the charm and charisma of this trio seem to have ladies going weak at the knees. Us Brits are having a bit of a moment right now; Hiddleston also stars in Jaguar’s new TV advert along with veteran actor Ben Kingsley and Mark Strong telling us that “It’s good to be bad” as villains in movies are usually played by Brits – maybe it’s because the Americans like to see us lose, but it looks like it’s them losing out in the sexy stakes – viva Britannia!

However it wasn’t all great news for the British thespians as Gerard Butler only just scraped into the sexiest actors list with 1% of the female vote.
