The ‘Kiss Cam Effect’: Affairs Site Reports 31% Spike in CEO Sign-Ups After Coldplay Concert Goes Viral

* Viral Coldplay ‘kiss cam’ moment sparks panic among execs, driving a 31% surge in CEO-level sign-ups

* IllicitEncounters.com saw a sharp uptick in high-profile professionals seeking discreet affairs compared to the same period last year

* Sex and relationships expert calls it a “masterclass in how not to behave when mixing business and pleasure”

In the days following that now-infamous Coldplay concert moment – when now former Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron, and his Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, found themselves unwilling stars of the kiss cam – IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site, has recorded a dramatic 31% increase in high-profile executive sign-ups.

Dubbed the ‘Kiss Cam Effect’, new data from the site reveals this spike came directly after the viral clip exploded across social media, showing the red-faced pair squirming as Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped: “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

For executives with reputations to protect, the message couldn’t be clearer: indiscretion in the digital age can be career-ending.

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, explains, “The Coldplay ‘kiss cam’ moment was a masterclass in how not to conduct a discreet relationship in public. It’s gone viral because it’s awkward, juicy, and deeply relatable. But behind the humour is a stark warning – especially for high-powered professionals.

Our data shows a clear panic response from the executive world – from Thursday to Sunday, we saw a huge 31% rise in sign-ups of CEOs compared to the same period last year, and this peaked on Saturday when Byron’s resignation was announced. 

It seems the message is loud and clear: if you’re going to mix business with pleasure, at least do it discreetly. This incident has brutally underscored the absolute necessity of privacy for high-profile individuals, driving them straight to platforms like ours – where discretion is not just encouraged, but built-in.”

One new user, a 45-year-old married CEO from Manchester (who asked to remain anonymous) said, “I watched that Coldplay clip with my stomach in knots. You could see it on their faces – they knew they were caught. I signed up to IllicitEncounters within minutes. I travel a lot with my PA and let’s just say things have got… blurred. There’s no way I’m ending up on TikTok and being forced to resign – so I figured if I want to have an affair, it has to be with someone outside of work and on a platform which guarantees discretion, so here I am.”

The surge in executive sign-ups signals a frantic dash among top professionals to find secure, discreet spaces for their affairs – before they become the next viral video.

IllicitEncounters.com says it’s seen similar sign-up spikes following other high-profile exposure moments, but few have triggered such a sharp, demographic-specific response as the Coldplay incident.

As Leoni puts it, “Discretion isn’t optional when your name’s on the office door. And now, more execs are realising that than ever before.”

Elon Musk crowned world’s “sexiest entrepreneur” by UK women

* Tesla and X owner Elon Musk tops the poll, beating Dragon’s Den star Steven Bartlett and Snapchat’s Evan Spiegel.

* Other notable names in the top 10 include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, BrewDog CEO James Watt and, controversially, US President Donald Trump who landed in 9th place.

* 2,000 women ranked 50 global entrepreneurs on their “sexiness,” with tech titans and self-made billionaires dominating the top 10.

* Poll conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site.

Elon Musk has controversially been crowned the world’s sexiest entrepreneur by UK women.

The Tesla boss and owner of X topped a poll conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading affairs site, beating off stiff competition from the likes of Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel and Diary of a CEO star Steven Bartlett.

Famed for his unpredictable personality and his increasingly polarising role in American politics, Musk’s allure clearly remains undiminished when it comes to his sex appeal as he topped the poll scoring an impressive 9 out of 10.

The UK’s very own Steven Bartlett claimed second place scoring 8.5 out of 10, proving his appearances on Dragon’s Den and podcasting charm have the ladies swooning, while Snapchat’s Evan Spiegel, whose clean-cut good looks and billionaire lifestyle have long made him a heartthrob landed him in third place.

The poll from IllicitEncounters.com involved 2,000 of its female members, who were asked to rank 50 of the world’s most famous and influential business figures from most to least sexy, scoring them between 1 and 10 based on their “sexiness.”

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos took fourth place, while BrewDog CEO James Watt, who married TV personality Georgia Toffolo in a secret Scottish wedding on the weekend, rounds off the top five.

The top 10 also saw social media giants and tech titans dominate, with LinkedIn’s Jeff Weiner in sixth, Monzo co-founder Tom Blomfield in seventh, and Farfetch founder José Neves placing eighth. 

In a somewhat controversial result, Elon Musk’s “boss”, US President and business mogul Donald Trump secured ninth place, while Dragon’s Den star Peter Jones took the final spot in the top 10.

The list of 50 names featured a mix of high-profile entrepreneurs and business leaders from various industries, broken down into categories across tech, retail, media, and investment.

British entrepreneurs made a strong showing throughout the rankings, with Gymshark founder Ben Francis taking 12th place, Calm co-founder Michael Acton Smith coming in 15th place and Virgin’s Richard Branson placing 18th. Alan Sugar’s appeal, on the other hand, appears to be waning despite his non-nonsense attitude on ‘The Apprentice’, coming in last.

Other notable tech billionaires rated by UK women included Apple’s Tim Cook who landed in 28th place, while Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was further down the list coming just 39th. 

Jessica Leoni, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, commented on the results saying, “Elon Musk’s victory has come as quite a surprise considering how much of a controversial figure he’s become lately, but the sheer level of his appeal shows just how much women are drawn to powerful, unpredictable men with money. His mix of intellect, wealth, and risk-taking clearly makes him irresistible. Add in his penchant for drama and his relentless ambition, and you’ve got the ultimate bad boy billionaire.

It’s also great to see UK entrepreneurs like Steven Bartlett and Peter Jones flying the flag in the top 10 – proving British brains, charm, and business savvy are a very sexy combination.

With such a diverse mix of visionaries, mavericks, and moguls, it’s clear that success is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”

“I’m a domme – people pay me to make them suffer but my long-term partner has no idea”

* Jennifer, 30 from Brighton, has been in a committed relationship for 11 years, but leads a double life as a dominatrix, fulfilling her clients’ extreme desires without her partner’s knowledge.

* She caters to successful, high-powered men, including doctors and executives she meets on extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com. 

* Jennifer’s partner remains completely unaware of her secret life, which she believes is the only way to fulfil her unique sexual needs while maintaining her relationship.

On the surface, Jennifer, 30 from Brighton, seems to have it all – a long-term relationship of 11 years and a stable, normal life. But behind closed doors, she’s living a double life that would shock her partner to the core. By day, she’s just your average girlfriend, but by night, she transforms into a ruthless dominatrix, making powerful men pay to be humiliated and degraded – all while her partner remains blissfully unaware.

Jennifer’s journey into the world of domination started six years ago when she realised her relationship was falling flat in the bedroom. “I figured out that I need a domme/sub dynamic instead of a regular relationship,” she spills. “Right now, I juggle around three regular subs at a time.”

And these aren’t just any men – they’re high-flying professionals with big bank accounts and even bigger secrets. “I’ve never met a submissive on IllicitEncounters.com whose wife has a clue about his kink,” Jennifer reveals, referencing the affair website where she meets her clients. These men, often doctors, lawyers, and financial execs, are desperate to be dominated in ways their wives could never imagine.

For Jennifer, the thrill isn’t just in the whips and chains – it’s in the power play. “The real satisfaction comes from the power exchange, not the physical acts,” she explains. “When we’re in session, these men worship me like a queen. The power rush I get knowing they’ll do anything I say is intoxicating. They love being humiliated, and I love being in control.”

But here’s the kicker – her partner has no idea what she’s really into. “He’d be horrified if he found out about my secret life,” Jennifer admits. “But this is the only way I can satisfy my cravings. My subs and I get to indulge in our twisted dynamic, and it doesn’t interfere with my home life.”

And if you think these men just want a quick thrill, think again. Some are shelling out serious cash to bow down to Jennifer. “I’ve had subs pay as little as £30 just for a chat,” she says. “Others send me ‘tributes’ – that’s cash or gifts to show their appreciation. One guy even offered £300 a month for regular sessions, but I had to turn him down. And when I’m under the weather or on my period? Some of them send money to cheer me up!”

Jennifer’s story exposes a hidden world where powerful men submit to their darkest desires in secret. A recent survey conducted by IllicitEncounters.com found that only 34% of 1,600 people polled feel comfortable discussing their sexual fantasies with their partners. And for those who do, a staggering 29% end up having a negative effect on their relationship.

Sex and relationships expert Jessica Leoni isn’t surprised by the secrecy. “Kink-shaming is clearly a big issue in some relationships. It’s alarming how many people can’t be honest about their desires with their partners. Even worse, when they do open up, it often backfires and hurts the dynamic between two people who should be able to be open about everything.

Stories like Jennifer’s are quite unique, but it’s great to know that people feel like they can be their true selves when using IllicitEncounters.com.”

More money than sense: UK’s “fat cats” most likely to be caught cheating

* Survey reveals CEOs and bankers are the two professions most likely to be caught having an affair

* 1 in 3 people who have been found out by their partner whilst playing away are CEOs

* The findings come from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site

It turns out, the bank accounts of the UK’s “fat cats” aren’t the only things experiencing explosive growth – their cheating antics are breaking records too.

Forget about loyalty and commitment, these high-rolling playboys are more interested in playing the field. 

According to a survey of 2,000 men by married dating site IllicitEncounters.com, CEOs have been caught red-handed in sizzling affairs, sneaky rendezvous, and steamy encounters more than any other profession.

The poll first asked the men whether they’ve been caught cheating in the past, and then asked for them to disclose their profession to see if there was a link between the two. 

1 in 3 people polled were CEOs who admitted to being found out by their partners in the past. From secret trysts in hidden hideaways to backseat escapades in their swanky rides, the wealthy elite can’t resist the temptation of the forbidden fruit. 

21% of the men who responded in the survey were bankers, clearly morally bankrupt and not great at keeping their affairs secret.

On the other hand, bartenders were the least likely to be caught. Their charm behind the bar and their good excuse to have to stay out late is the perfect mix for being able to play away, but they’re also the very reasons they’re less likely to be found out by their partner.

Jordan from Coventry, a member of the married dating site, commented, “I may be slinging drinks behind the bar, but I’m also sipping on secrets. I’ve used the site for a few years now – my missus hasn’t caught me yet and I intend to keep it that way! You’ve just got to be discreet and smart about it. Bartenders are cleverer than people think, you know?”

Shaun, a CEO from London, said, “It’s like chasing risky investments for a quick thrill. I’ve been caught red-handed by my wife in the past, but has that stopped me from cheating now? Not a chance. CEOs are tough to control, and I’m the one calling the shots.”

Speaking to Jessica Leoni, IllicitEncounters.com’s sex and relationships expert, she said “Busy schedules and frequent business trips provide ample opportunities for affairs, plus there’s also a sense of entitlement that comes with positions of power, which makes some people believe they’re above the consequences of their actions. 

An inflated self-importance can absolutely lead to carelessness and reckless behaviour, making it easier for their indiscretions to be uncovered.”

Hear, Hear, Lawyers, Win the Sexiest Profession of the Year! 

* Lawyers have been voted the sexiest profession in annual survey
* Doctors and CEO’s round off the top 3, followed by Builders and Firefighters
* Estate Agents rank last with only 2% of women finding them sexy
* Results come from a study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, surveyed 2000 women to discover which male profession is the sexiest in 2022. 

Sex and relationships expert for IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni has compiled and commented on the results below:

Will the defendant please rise – the verdict is… guilty! Lawyers are the sexiest profession of the year. Accounting for a whopping 20% of the vote – women find men in the courtroom the sexiest of them all, case closed. 

What’s up Doc? We’ve run the diagnostics and the results confirm second sexiest profession are the men in white – Doctors – with 18% of the vote. 

CEO’s turn heads with 15% of the vote and in honourable third place.

Can he fix it? Yes, he can! Builders are hot property in fourth sexiest jobs with 12%. 

Turn up the heat!  Firefighters come in fifth sexiest (9.5%). On a primal level, a Firefighter is in every woman’s fantasy. The masculine physique, the muscle and sweat combined with raw unbridled passion… okay, a little carried away there, but what’s not to like?

Women think Footballers are fit, scoring sixth place (7%). It’s plain to see that fame and fortune help with sex appeal.

Teachers score seventh sexiest profession (5%), seems the ladies are up for a little bit of detention, naughty. 

On the less sexy scale are Financial Advisors with only 3% of the vote in eighth place. Economics? Boring. With everything getting more expensive and people are scrimping for cash – seems we’ve all had enough of talking about money. 

999, call the Police! Or don’t for that matter… we’d rather avoid a copper as only 2.5% of women find the five-o sexy. Cops have had a bad rep over the last few years in Britain, with overall confidence in the police dropping year on year since 2017, as reported by the ONS*, it’s clearly had an effect on their desirability. 

In last place with 2% of the vote, it seems Estate Agents are a bit of a turn-off. These notorious charmers often misinterpret the facts to get a quick sale, and with rent and house prices continuing to go up it’s no wonder we’re not the biggest fans of these smooth-talking salesmen. 

It’s not just ripped, topless men that make the cut, attraction is so much more than that. Sure the physical is important, but women want more than a hunk – and this list makes that fact indisputable.

Lawyers and Doctors coming out on top suggest it takes more than a beefcake to turn a woman on. Confidence, intelligence, philanthropy, and wealth – are more important qualities that make up a man’s sex appeal, and what men do for work speaks volumes.

Doctors and Bartenders are Hot, Coppers are Not – Sexiest Professions Revealed!

* Doctors have been voted the sexiest profession in annual survey

* Bartenders and CEOs rounded off the top 3, followed by footballers and firemen

* Sexy policeman fantasy quashed, as policemen receive a mere 1% of the vote

* Government officials rank second to last with only 3% of women finding them sexy

* Results come from a study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people 

A doctor, a CEO and a football player walk into a bar, aren’t you spoiled for choice.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, surveyed 2000 women to discover which male profession is the sexiest in 2021. 

Sex and relationships expert for IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni has compiled and commented on the results below:

Doctors scrub up well with nearly a quarter (24%) of women voting this profession as the sexiest of all. 

Those who enter the field of medicine tend to be compassionate, skilled and very clever – qualities that women find attractive in a man. Add to that an earning potential of five times the average salary – hard to resist. No doubt doctors have won the hearts of many in the last year with how well they have handled the challenges of Covid-19.

Bartenders, who prescribe a very different kind of tonic, sent pulses racing with 19% of the vote. You might be spilling more than a drink at the bar with lonely patrons spilling their hearts out, bartenders are often free therapy for those in need. Good looks and a listening ear are a recipe for attraction. The masses have largely missed the public house bartender with all the lockdown restrictions – so it’s great to see them come in second sexiest overall. 

CEO’s take third place with 15% of the vote, suggesting business men are quite the catch.

Fame and fortune fares well with footballers scoring a handsome 9%, and 4th overal sexiest profession. Football has caused quite a stir recently with the controversial European Super League, though evidently this has not dampened a footballers sex appeal. 

The fireman fantasy is well and truly alive, in fifth place, as 8% of women have the hots for a sexy firefighter.

Teachers come in 6th place (6%), followed by builders in 7th place (5%).

Suprisingly personal trainers score low in the list, coming in 8th place with only 4% of women voting this profession as sexy. Perhaps women feel intimidated by the excessive fitness that comes with a chisled physique.

Government officials rank second to last in 9th place with only 3% of the vote. Suggesting politics is not that sexy afteral.

Contrary to popular belief, policemen are not that desirable, coming in 10th and last place with a mere 1% of the vote. With overall confidence in the police dropping year on year since 2017, as reported by the ONS*, it appears less women find this particular man in uniform appealing.
