Guinness a kiss! IllicitEncounters.com reveal top drinks

hlcauimwbat7c4ygcowd

Could your partner’s fridge stacked full of his favourite beer tell you how likely he is to stay faithful?

A new survey from the UK’s leading dating site for married people IllicitEncounters.com has revealed the drinking habits of men looking for an extra-marital tryst. The survey of Illicit Encounter’s male members were questioned on their beer preferences and regular drinking habits.

Despite not being a ‘beer’ per se, the number one choice for a swift one down the local was a pint of Guinness – this is probably down to it’s smooth taste, texture and perceived health benefits.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com; Mike Taylor said, “The results of this study highlights that our members have a taste for quality and the refined. They are not prepared to compromise on basis of price. It is unsurprising that stout, rather than lager or ale, was the top choice – when you consider that Guinness has been brewing for over 240 years. Despite it being perceived as a ‘meal in a glass’ in some quarters, Guinness in fact, only contains 198 calories per pint, making it less calorific than orange juice or skimmed milk. There is also good news for female members as stout is seen as an aphrodisiac in some countries.”

The second most popular choice was Corona Extra, with Peroni Nastro Azzurro coming in third. Both regarded as premium or luxury lagers, and strides ahead of countless other brands in terms of popularity. The Belgians may have more cultural acceptance to infidelity, but Stella Artois did not tantalise our members proving to be the least popular choice.

The study also revealed that men who are looking for or who are engaging in an extra-marital relationship, consume less alcohol than their monogamous counterparts, rarely drinking more than the recommended weekly allowance. This could be due to the fact they are more health conscious and concerned about the repercussions of getting overly inebriated.

Football gives fans perfect opportunity to play away!

psoiqejz4r78wusmbb4g

Despite recent headlines being filled with rock star and music mogul affairs, it seems the real two-timing champions are still footballers. Leading extra-marital dating site IllicitEncounters.com, can reveal since the start of the 2013/14-football season they have seen an influx in the number of professional footballers joining the site, who are looking to play away whilst playing away.

However, it is not just professional footballers who signing up, the fans are also getting in on the game with the site reporting record numbers of men signing up looking to meet up for a post match fixture.

Illicit Encounters, which has over 800,000 members, has seen a huge surge of new male members joining as the football season kicked off. Over the last few weeks the site experienced a 32% rise in activity compared with the average out of season evening. They are also reporting an 87% increase in members accessing the site in the hours before, during, and after big games on mobile devices taking the opportunity whilst they are out of the house to check and send some messages.

IllicitEncounters.com spokesperson; Mike Taylor said: “Having professional athletes on the site is nothing new, we saw an influx last summer with Olympic sports stars looking to hook-up whilst they were participating. I can understand the motivation of footballers and fans alike joining IllicitEncounters.com, being the largest dating site purely for married people in the UK, members join the site because they take an intelligent approach when looking for an extra-marital relationship. They are looking to find like minded individuals and because of the privacy and security of the site, avoid becoming a high profile news story.”

But be warned – it is not just the men looking, thousands of ‘football widows’ have flooded to the site since the start of the season. Some new female members have actually been surprisingly explicit about what has led them to sign up, citing instances where they were neglected while their partners spent hours at the pub, left for the weekend, or completely ignored, apart from the occasional demand for beer and snacks.

As the new football season is in full swing it looks like people are taking advantage of the extra time away from their other half as the perfect opportunity to score.

“Darling, I’d rather you Skydive, than tell a lie”

gdg6slgighghmmwlszey

The rush, hit, high, the feeling that keeps you going back for more, over and over again. You’re addicted; even though you know you are risking it all, you can’t control your incessant need for a snapshot of ecstasy. Losing all rational thought, dopamine becomes your common sense enslaving you to focus only on feeding its need for risky reward. As you come back down to earth, you feel still, empty, and the mind is already willing to chance losing everything you have just to satisfy an unforgiving desire to live on a knife-edge, in a heartbeat.

For some the reality of needing this kind of rush is uncontrollable, almost as if the body is powerless to the mind’s desire, regardless of the consequences. Naturally eager and spontaneous, it has been scientifically proven via a study at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, that this set of people have fewer dopamine-regulating receptors in their brain, making the chemical hit each time they take a risk, unusually big. There are many ways to fulfill this addiction-type need, with extreme sports at the top of the list. Heli skiing, base-jumping, and skydiving along with big wave surfing and bull running, all hit the spot and achieve the aim of losing yourself to the moment without a second thought to the fact you could seriously injure yourself, or worse. And you needn’t think it’s just adrenaline fueled muscle-head guys that are seeking the ultimate high either, growing numbers of women are more than happy to give the boys a run for their money. This area of the sporting world may have long been dominated by men, but that’s changing fast as women are gaining ground and showing men how it’s done, not only with a high physical ability, but also a complete mental understanding.

Then there is another type of risk taking where the stakes are just as high: having an affair. The need to embrace risk is strikingly similar, all in a haze of adrenalin; you are willing to risk losing the one you love just for the thrill of tasting forbidden fruit. Reputations hang in the balance, the stigma attached to being a cheat, and even breaking up a family are all forgotten in the blink of a lustful eye, pretty selfish all round. But is jumping out of plane or off a building any less selfish? No stigmas for sure, it’s brave, heroic, taking a chance, and ultimately many would comment, “I wouldn’t do it! But as you take the chance and dance with death each time, is that not just as selfish as having an affair? Is it fair on your partner to risk your life each time you hunt down the next big wave? Or is it simply that it is more socially acceptable to risk your life, than have an affair?

We asked our male and female members at Illicitencounters.com if they regularly took part in any extreme sports, and the numbers were surprising high. The top extreme sporting choice for both sexes was Rock Climbing, followed by Heli Skiing and Skydiving for the ladies, while Skydiving took second place for the men and Bull Running came in third. Clearly a multitude of high-risk activities is essential to the equilibrium of the buzz hungry individual.

If something were to happen while engaged in a sport, that would of course be terribly tragic, but more acceptable to the partner of a cheat. “Go out and risk your life darling by all means, just don’t cheat on me, okay?” A little tongue and cheek of course, but reading between the lines, it strikes me that because the act of infidelity reflects badly on all involved, telling your partner to “Go jump off a building!” in a rage, maybe be closer to the truth than we wish to admit.

Heat Wave Sends Thousands Online Looking For a Summer Fling!

xacsmxjvj933hsi91pol

It seems the British weather is not the only thing heating up, whilst the UK is in the midst of a heat wave with temperatures hitting 30-degrees in parts of the country, leading extra-marital dating site IlllictEncounters.com is reporting record numbers of members visiting the site after the sun has set.

The amount of members logging on during the hot summer nights has almost trebled in the last 10 days, and with the unusually high temperatures set to stay until at least the end of the week, the website is predicting the number of people looking for some ‘Summer Lovin’ is set to increase further.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Rosie Freeman-Jones said “When it’s hot outside you are more likely to feel frisky, the science behind this phenomenon is, as your body is exposed to sunlight, it produces more serotonin and melanocyte stimulating hormone known as MSH, which is linked to an increased sex drive in women, and serotonin just makes you feel happy.”

When questioned female members said they were most likely to look for a extra-marital lover in the summer months as they felt more attractive, tanned and could wear more seductive clothing, men also preferred going out in the summer months and feel less inhibited and more relaxed when outside in the sunshine and the heat.

Statistics released by Illicit Encounters have shown that 72% of Men and 68% of women feel more confident about showing off their bodies during the summer, especially after they have developed a bit of a tan. Men revealed they are more likely to be in shape during the summer months due to participating in sports or just being generally more physical during the week, women revealed that they were more likely to wear sexy underwear and shave their legs during the hotter months.

The sites members have also reported large increases in the number of after work and evening dates that are occurring with the lighter summer evenings producing the perfect time to meet up with their new inamorata or inamorato. The biggest increases in the number of risqué rendezvous were reported in the South West and East of England where temperatures hit their peak.

Who remembers their wedding vows?

yloxxahbcsp4ebtjtnvb

Your wedding vows: a central part of the big day itself. A promise between two people shared in front of the ones you love, it is a pivotal point in any marriage ceremony as you start your life together bound together by love. Many couples painstakingly research and create their own vows in order to seal their union with a selection of heartfelt bonds as unique as their relationship. These powerful words will be ingrained on the souls of husband and wife until death do us part. Or so you would think.

It may surprise you to know that loyal couples are in fact the least likely to remember their vows, whereas couples who are unfaithful can recall their vows at will. Rosie Freeman-Jones, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest website for married people adds “We ran a survey asking our members how many of them could recall their marriage vows and a staggering 86% told us they could. I guess that they can be at the forefront of one’s mind when you are thinking of breaking them, or already have”. So while a wife may frown upon her husband for not being able to recall his vows, thinking he no longer values or cares about them, she should relax safe in the knowledge that his inability to quote them off the cuff more than likely means, he has no need to.

Then there is the age-old topic of adultery. One of the first accusations to be thrown into the ring blame when an infidelity is discovered: “You made a vow to be faithful until death do us part!” But actually, the action of an affair is often a cry for help following a breakdown of the other vows that have been left by the way side and ignored: respect, supporting your spouses goals, for better or worse, honouring, if all of these vows were regularly honoured, surely an affair would be less likely to happen? I’ll play Devil’s advocate and say; affairs are not the cause of a marriage breaking down, they are the effect of a continued lack of attention to the other vows promised and left to rot, the heart lingers for attention elsewhere.

*Sonia, 38 from York and an IllicitEncounters.com member tells us “I meant every one of my vows on my wedding day to my husband, I wouldn’t have said them if I didn’t. I believed we would be together forever, but as we hit our fifth year of marriage we had become completely different people and unable to move forward, we separated shortly after. I am happily dating now and I would marry again, only my vows a second time around would definitely be different, and I see that as a positive learning curve from my first marriage ending.

A lot has changed since their heritage began in the 15th century, and even though vows are often viewed as the glue that holds a marriage together, is ‘Until death do us part’ really part of the modern day marriage ingredient? More and more couples are creating their own vows and steering away from old fashion style vows, but if we take out ‘Thou shall be faithful’ are we expecting to fail, or simply becoming informed and realistic? Whichever way you view it, vows need to up their game if they are to carry the weight of their promise forward into married life and move with the times. Being aware and living in the present is essential to a successful relationship; surely if we allow our vows to stagnate and fall out of sight, we can expect outside influences creep in. Be it an affair, a distance, a lost of interest, I think the answer is to revisit and revise in order to keep them alive.

Renewal of marriage vows is another growing trend, mainly thanks to celebrity endorsement, but the benefits of reassessing the promises given to each other, is a positive way to keep vows current and valid. And lets not forget the daily promise between married couples; another valuable key action to a long lasting happy relationship. Frequently revisiting and revealing their true needs to each other as they evolve as a couple ensures that individual thoughts and feelings remain front and centre of the relationship.

Can something said once years ago really stand the test of time as you and your partner travel through married life together? We are constantly evolving as individuals, changing our tastes, needs, and goals along the way: we need to revisit our vows in the same way. You wouldn’t keep the same CV for years without updating your skills and experience, so surely your marriage vows deserve the same nurturing approach. Being proactive, rather than reactive once the damage is done is more than often too little too late. Better to stay fluid, open, and aware of your vows as you and your partner navigate life together is a key component to marital bliss.

Vows simply need a makeover.

Move over Stags – Hens rule the roost!

ygkqjzmrgys6qxa7kzwx

It is almost expected that a Stag will be temped to get up to no good on his last night of freedom as a single man. As the bright lights of Vegas call, an endless supply of drinks, a bevy of beauties gyrating in thongs, surrounded by friends and no future wife in sight; it’s a classic setting for a fidelity slip up with “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” as the group mantra.

There is however a new tribe in town who rival the need to enjoy their last night of ‘freedom’ even more than their clichéd counterpart: Hens on a mission. These ladies aren’t going to sit at home worrying what their future spouses are up to, they simply have the ‘If you can’t beat, them join them’ ethic and see an opportunity to put traditional values to one side for the night.

The Hen party allows a forgotten night of activity with a ‘Get out of Jail free’ card mindset of reasoning. In the same way many name drinking as a top reason for an indiscretion, this one wild night before committing to “until death do us part” makes it acceptable to behave out of character while they are swept away with a potent cocktail of festivities and ‘last chance’ undertones.

Illicitencounters.com, the UK’s largest website for married people, surveyed both their male and females members back in 2011, finding that 11% of men to only 3% of women admitted cheating on their stag & hen nights. When they ran the same survey again this Spring – the ladies nearly equalled the men in the cheating stats. This total change of trend in a classically male arena shows a massive shift in times, and attitudes.

With this change in mind, lllicitencounters.com also wanted to see if ‘Bro code’ rules applied to ladies and asked on a recent survey “Does what happens on a hen do stay on a hen do?” A strong 91% females members answered ‘Yes’. It seems Sisterhood can more than match the classic ‘Bro code’

Rosie Freeman-Jones, spokesperson for Illicitencounters.com comments “Today Women are just as empowered, if not more so than men to look out for their ladies, sticking firmly together whatever a friends actions maybe, and hen party antics are no exception”.

Illicitencounters.com member* Alice Smart, 35 from Surrey, told us “I did have a one night stand on my hen party, but in a strange way I felt entitled to. I could not wait to marry my husband, but I also felt a burning desire to behave as if I was a single girl that night. When I confided in my girlfriends they were non judgemental and could understand why the temptation to have one last throw away night would appeal”

So while Stag nights remain in the *top 3 of occasions where females worry their partner will stray, Hen parties look set to place themselves firmly in the mind of males: not so cliché…

Is having an affair with a younger woman passé?

r1zdjkc9jbmqqlalhuz9

Anthea Turner has announced her split from husband Grant Bovey after 13 years of marriage. Whilst there has been no official comment on the reason for the split, It is claimed he had been having an affair with a socialite 26 years his junior. Grant who previously left his former wife for TV presenter Anthea, is said to have started the extra-marital relationship whilst Anthea was pursuing a career in Canada.

Whilst a man having an affair with a younger woman may seem like a familiar event, research by leading extra-marital dating website IllicitEncounters.com appears to show an emerging trend in Men and Women looking to have an extra-marital relationship with someone their own age. The majority of members are looking for a relationship with someone who they can form a deep emotional and intellectual bond with, as well as a physical one. A shocking 78% of men and 82% of women of the 800,000 members of Illicit Encounters are actively looking for an affair with a partner in their own age range (A maximum of 10 years older/younger).

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor said: “There are multiple reasons why people seek relationships outside of their marriage, whether it is due to getting married to young, drifting apart or economical reasons. It is also not unusual for couples to come under strain whilst one of them is away from home for long periods of time. Our members are not looking to breakup their marriages, just to fulfil something that is missing from within their relationship be it physical or emotional. They understand it is unlikely they will find fulfilment with someone who is vastly different in age or intellect from themselves.”

In an interview earlier this year, Anthea said she accepted part of the blame for her marital problems, admitting that ‘Long periods apart are never good for a healthy relationship’ however the results of a OnePol survey, reviled that only 21% of married women could forgive and move passed an affair, whilst in comparison 27% of men could forgive a marital indiscretion.

IllicitEncounters.com member, James (54) from London, said: “Having heard about the story I think it is unlikely that Grant was looking to fulfil an long-term emotional void by having an affair with a younger woman. It was most likely just an affair of opportunity. When I have had affairs in the past with much younger women they often do not last long term, and leave both of us dissatisfied. Women who I have met around my own age are more likely to share my interests and I can have interesting conversations with them.”

Notes:

*The survey by OnePoll for IllicitEncounters.com of 4,000 members of the public revealed that a total of 27% of married men would stay with their partner through infidelity compared with only 21% of married women.

World Cup leads to thousands of Married Women looking to score!

ispzdc8173inzhxwbgpa (1)

Thousands of football widows have flocked to extramarital dating site, IllicitEncounters.com, as world cup frenzy is leaving them feeling neglected by their partners. The website has reported an average of a 67% rise in female activity since World Cup fever swept the nation.

Leading UK marital affairs website IllicitEncounters.com, which has over 850,000 members, is seeing a surge of new member sign-ups as the tournament is due to begin. The recent friendly match between England and Peru showed just how invisible ladies are already beginning to feel as their partners are distracted; the site saw a 200% increase in female activity. Over the last few weeks they have seen nightly increases of up to 82% in new female traffic, with an overwhelming majority citing, ‘world cup neglect’ as the reason for joining.

Mike Taylor from IllicitEncounters.com said: “There is a large number of women who are feeling neglected due to world cup fever being their partner’s number one priority. Some of the new members even mention the fact they had signed-up just because they were sick and tired of coming second to football matches and decided to ‘play away’ themselves during the world cup.”

Charlotte 38 from Manchester who joined the site just before the England and Peru game, made it clear in her profile that she was looking for someone to fill the gap during the world cup commenting: “World cup season is upon us and I have become invisible to my man I am looking for someone who is fit, active and looking to meet up during matches for some fun.”

Mike Taylor adds: “Some new females have actually been surprisingly explicit about what lead them to join the site, citing instances when they were neglected while their partner spent hours at the pub, or those who were completely ignored at home, apart from the occasional request for beer and snacks.”

So while some footballers may have more experience in dealing with affairs illicit encounters, expect these figures to serve as a wake-up call to the majority of British men – if you don’t pay attention to your ladies, they are not afraid to go and find someone who will. Most likely someone who’s into salsa dancing or doubles tennis.

Sean Connery Tops Sexy Over 60’s Poll!

t7gzfb9kryhfqqwmsshg

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%

Over 30% Of Young People Don’t Think Sex Is Cheating

ywfksthhtpghlsawe8jp

Over one in three young people do not think sleeping with someone behind their partner’s back as cheating, a shocking new study has revealed.

The study, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of IllicitEncounters.com, revealed that 32% of 18 to 24 year olds didn’t count sex outside of a relationship as being deceitful – compared with just 2% of those over 55.

Which of the following activities with another person constitutes cheating?
Ages 18-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 55+
Flirting/teasing 34% 29% 22% 18% 16%
Sending sexy texts or tweets 47% 50% 50% 45% 44%
Touching/making physical contact 45% 51% 56% 57% 58%
‘Dirty dancing’ 31% 40% 41% 38% 34%
Kissing 66% 73% 81% 78% 68%
Oral sex 67% 75% 88% 95% 94%
Sex 68% 75% 90% 97% 98%

Digital infidelity, such as sending sexy Tweets and texts, was unsurprisingly a major concern for young people. 47% of 18- to 24-year-olds said they would consider such interaction as cheating, compared with just 44% of their parents’ generation.

The survey, showed how attitudes towards infidelity have dramatically shifted.

Of the 4,000 married Brits surveyed, the youngest age group had a smaller spread of results when asked which flirtatious acts represented unfaithful behaviour. Their answers ranged from 31% (‘dirty dancing’) to 68% (sex), in comparison to the large spread of the oldest generation from 16% (flirting/teasing) to 98% (sex).

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Rosie Freeman-Jones commented: “We have seen a trend of attitudes towards infidelity shifting. Older generations that see a greater disparity between flirting and having sex, young people see all forms of cheating as similar importance.”

However younger Britons appeared more likely to end a relationship due to infidelity.

The youngest age group surveyed were the least likely (17%) to attempt to work through and forgive their partners’ infidelity. The over 55s were the most willing to maintain their relationship with a partner even in the face of infidelity.

The presence of alcohol also sparked differing results among the generations. Almost half of 18 to 24 year olds (48%) said cheating didn’t count if you were drunk, compared to just one in five among the over 55s.

Rosie added: “Older generations appear to be a lot more strict when it comes to cheating. However, they are more willing to work through their partners’ infidelity. This commitment to their marriage is likely to be due to religious and moral reasons, social pressures in their generation and the vast amount of time and effort they have devoted to their relationship.”
