Do You Want To Feel Younger and More Attractive? Have An Affair

Ladies wanting to boost their self esteem are moving away from having their hair done, taking a quick trip to a spa, or even investing in some Botox. A study by leading extra-marital dating site IllicitEncounters.com reveals the new trend for women wanting to look and feeling younger is to have an affair.

The survey found that the majority of female philanderers do it “to feel attractive again”. The site, surveyed over 700 of its female members on the reasons they chose to embark on an affair. Over a third of respondents confessed that they joined to find a man who would make them feel sexy and attractive again.

The second most popular reason women gave as to why they pursue an affair was “For the thrill of it”, cited by 16% of respondents. Where as 15% of women respondence said they were simply looking for “more sex”.

IllicitEncounters.com Spokesperson Rosie Freeman-Jones commented: “It will probably shock some people that ‘sex’, as a reason for pursuing an affair, was so low down on the list. Many women are just longing to feel attractive again, after years without a single compliment from their spouse. Far too many husbands appear to take their wives for granted with some married men finding any form of romantic gesture nye on impossible, leaving their other half to find their lust for life renewed by finding someone who finds them attractive and isn’t afraid to tell them so”

One example is Michelle*, a teacher from Portsmouth, says the survey results reflect her feelings about joining the site. “My husband pays me little attention; I can’t remember the last time he told me I looked nice. The need to feel wanted, to feel desired, just took over last year, and here I am. I am still a sexual being – I needed someone to acknowledge that.”

Other reasons that women gave for embarking on an extra marital tryst were curiosity, boredom with their current situation and the desire to feel in love again.

New Study: Office Based Romance Cost British Companies Millions

fczjygl4y1mxkkfvn40s (1)

No company wants to have to deal with unnecessary and avoidable costs of situations such as sexual harassment, discrimination, health and safety or unfair dismissal claims against the organisation. As well as costing a fortune these actions can harm the reputation of the business and have an impact on the productivity of the staff.

Leading extra-marital affairs website IllicitEncounters.com, In conjunction with NotAtWork.co.uk, commissioned a series of studies and reports to investigate the economic impact on businesses caused by affairs within the workplace.

Two surveys were conducted in October 2012, asking individuals and business owners to answer questions relating to the effect of Office Romances on careers and impact on businesses.

Over a thousand individuals responded to the ‘Are Office Romances a good idea’ survey and over 200 businesses to the ‘Impact of Office Romances on UK Businesses’ survey.

Individuals, when asked if they had ever engaged in an office romance.

  • 75% of respondents have at least considered it.
  • 54% have engaged in at least 1 office romance.
  • 27% have engaged in an office romance more than once.

When asked if their employers had a contractual morality clause forbidding office relationships.

  • 6% stated that their employer had it as part of the terms and conditions of their employment.
  • 35% stated that their employer did not mind at all.

They were then asked if they felt office-based romances can impact on one’s productivity at work.

  • 16% answered ‘Not at all’
  • 84% felt that it would impact productivity at least a little. (38% said it definitely would)

In regards to disciplinary actions related to office romances, 20% of respondents claim that they or a colleague have been disciplined for having a work-place romance.

Businesses taking part in the ‘Impact of Office Romances on UK Businesses’ survey revealed the following:

  • 74% of businesses have no formal or informal policy to discourage staff from engaging in office relationships
  • Only 16% of businesses said that office-based romances had no effect on productivity within their organisation. 48% stated that it would only have minimal impact.
  • Only 19% of businesses stated that an office-based romance would in no way affect the career prospects of those involved.
  • 32% of businesses would consider (or already have) a morality clause in its employment contracts to forbid office romances.
  • 51% of businesses felt recommending employees seek romance outside of their place of work would save them money and improve productivity.
  • In the last 12 months, the average cost to each business from issues relating to office romances was over £65,000. So the total cost to the 200 companies surveyed was in excess of £13 million.

It is interesting then that the majority of businesses acknowledge that office romances can have a negative impact on productivity but over half feel that it is minimal, in contrast to 84% of individuals who stated that it would affect productivity at least a little.

Mike Taylor, Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, said “These are some shocking statistics and we have barely scratched the surface. You will never stop people from developing romantic feelings towards their co-workers which can often lead to a full blown affair. However we offer a discreet and safe online dating platform for those seeking extra marital romances, allowing workers to focus their attention on their work in their work place. ”

Office romances are literally costing UK businesses millions and perhaps too many businesses fail to recognise the magnitude of the impact it has on their organisation. Although a morality clause within an employment contract would seem too drastic an action for many employers, encouraging employees to seek romances outside of work by promoting the use of online dating sites as well as making employees aware of the long term effects an office romance could have on their career can be a more effective and less draconian strategy in refocusing their employees and avoiding costly HR issues.

A new survey commissioned by leading married dating site IllicitEncounters.com has revealed that half of all British married women don’t get enough sex from their husbands.

The One Poll sex survey of over 4,000 married couples across the UK revealed that just over 50 per cent of married women are not satisfied with their sex life, and in some areas of the country it was even higher than that.

In Wales nearly two thirds of married couples (64 per cent) said they were dissatisfied with the frequency of intimacy with their spouse and couples in the South East were the second unhappiest.

West Midlands’ couples were third in the chart followed by couples in the North West and then Yorkshire and Humberside.

The survey also showed that the number of unhappy husbands was even higher with 70 per cent of British married men saying they were not satisfied with their sex lives.

Rosie Freeman-Jones spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, who commissioned the survey said: ‘The overwhelming statistic that we got from this survey is that married women and men are not happy with the amount of intimacy in their life.

‘It’s a very serious position that over half of the wives questioned in all regions of the country have said they are dissatisfied with their marriage because of this.’

The survey also showed that this unhappiness in marriage has led to several wives and husbands having affairs.

As many as 1 in 4 married people in London (25 per cent) admitted having at least one affair and couples in the East Midlands (24 per cent), Yorkshire and Humberside (23 per cent), Wales (23 per cent) and North West (22.66 per cent) also had high numbers of married couples having affairs in response to their sexless marriages.

In London 8 per cent of married partners admitted to having more than five affairs.
