Experts warn of infidelity surge as temperatures set to rise during ‘cheatwave’

The key findings

* Rising temperatures are set to cause a wave of infidelity in the UK.

* Hot weather leads to an increase in feel-good chemicals in the body, leading to boosted libidos.

* The ‘cheatwave’ is causing people to take more risks and wanting to try something new, with activity on extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com set to soar.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

As the mercury rises, so too could the risk of infidelity. According to sex and relationship expert at IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni, warmer temperatures are sparking a cheating frenzy across the UK. 

It’s not just the thermometers that are rising; the heat can also turn up the heat in our love lives, often leading to risky behaviour. Leoni explains that hot weather increases levels of feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. This boost can lower inhibitions and heighten arousal, making people more likely to engage in infidelity.

“Heatwaves can act like a powerful aphrodisiac,” says the sexpert. “They lower our self-control and make us more likely to give in to temptations.”

It’s a phenomenon that the UK’s leading married dating site sees when temperatures soar. Last year, IllicitEncounters.com reported a 64% increase in activity during the June heatwave, and this year they are bracing for a repeat performance.

“We’re already seeing increased engagement on our website as temperatures creep up” Leoni warns. “It’s a clear sign that the ‘cheatwave’ effect is kicking in again.”

About the research

In a poll of 800 new members on the extramarital dating site, 76% cited the weather as playing a role in their decision to sign up, and 69% agreed that higher temperatures made them more likely to take risks and try something new.

Several factors contribute to this steamy ‘cheatwave’ trend. Hot weather means more social events, more revealing clothing, and more opportunities to meet new people. Leoni points out that these factors combined with the physiological effects of heat can create a perfect storm for infidelity.

“Cities are especially prone to this phenomenon,” she explains. “The vibrant social scenes and the sheer number of people increase the chances of flirty encounters. However, rural areas aren’t immune – any place where people are more active and social during hot weather can see a spike in cheating.”

Over half of women are turning to psychics to catch cheating partners, study finds

The key findings

* A new study has revealed that women are turning to the spirit world for answers to their relationship woes. 

* 52% of women have sought help from psychics and clairvoyants in the hope of discovering whether their partner is being unfaithful.

* Of those, 68% said their suspicions about their partner’s infidelity were confirmed and 61% of those who spoke with psychics reported feeling more anxious and insecure after a reading.

* 1 in 5 women revealed they avoid seeing psychics completely, fearing they’ll discover the worst.

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

Forget hiring a private detective or trawling through phones, a growing number of suspicious women are turning to the supernatural for answers when it comes to matters of the heart. A new study has revealed that psychics are becoming the go-to detectives for uncovering infidelity.

According to a survey by the UK’s largest extramarital dating site, IllicitEncounters.com, a whopping 83% of the 1,500 female members polled have questioned their partner’s fidelity at some point in their relationship.

Traditionally, people have turned to private investigators or relied on tech to uncover the truth. But, it seems the digital age is giving way to a more mystical approach.

In fact, more than half (52%) sought guidance from psychics to validate their concerns about their partner. And for 68% of them, those crystal-ball gazing sessions confirmed their suspicions. 

While some found the answers they were seeking, not everyone walked away feeling better. In fact, 61% of women who used psychic services reported feeling more anxious and insecure about their relationships afterward. 

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com commented, “It’s fascinating to see the rise in women turning to psychics for answers about infidelity. 

It’s a trend that highlights the deep need for certainty and validation in relationships. When people feel their relationship is at risk, they’ll often go to great lengths to find the truth, even if it means consulting the mystical world.”

Interestingly, of the 52% who turned to psychics for relationship advice, Scots are the most likely to want clarity, with 43% admitting to seeking supernatural guidance. This is compared to 31% in England, 16% in Wales, and just 10% in Northern Ireland. 

Caroline from Aberdeen, a user of the married dating site who took part in the survey, said, “I suspected my partner was being unfaithful for quite some time. I tried everything: checking his phone, analysing his behaviour, even installing a tracking app (which, by the way, I’m not proud of). Frustrated and desperate for answers, I booked a session with a local psychic.

During the reading, she revealed details about my partner’s recent activities and it all just added up. Armed with this new insight and confirmation that he was cheating on me, I actually didn’t confront him. Instead, I decided to get back at him by having my own affair. 

I never imagined I’d find out the truth through a psychic, but in the end, it gave me the closure I needed.”

“HRT Boosted My Sex Drive – Now I’m Having an Affair Behind My Husband’s Back”

The key findings

* Nikki, 51 from Berkshire, reveals how she feels ‘reborn’ after being prescribed HRT by her doctor, leading to a life-changing libido lift.

* The married woman describes how her sex drive ‘went through the roof’ and led her to join extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com

* She explains that the combination of HRT and joining IllicitEncounters.com has transformed her life, and how after 10 years of being celibate she is making up for lost time with a vengeance.

A wife has revealed how HRT had a dramatic impact on her sex drive, leading her to have multiple affairs with married men.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is making waves in the UK, not just for alleviating symptoms of the menopause, but for significantly impacting women’s sex lives. According to the Department of Health and Social Care, around 15% of women aged 45-64 in England are currently prescribed HRT, and this figure continues to rise. 

Nikki, a 51-year-old woman from Berkshire, started taking HRT nine months ago and it was at that moment she found herself at a crossroads. Feeling desperately unhappy and trapped in a stagnant marriage, she joined IllicitEncounters.com to shake things up and find some joy. Her loneliness in her marriage was the main driver, but she was also battling classic symptoms of perimenopause like brain fog, insomnia, aches and pains, and an almost non-existent libido.

Her journey with HRT began after a candid conversation with her doctor, who suggested the use of hormone patches which turned out to be a rollercoaster ride. “The dose might have been too high because I felt like a Duracell bunny – constantly energised and with an insatiable libido. It was as if I was high on life, but it was too much,” Nikki recalls. 

This surge in sexual energy is not uncommon; a recent poll of 800 women on IllicitEncounters.com who are currently taking HRT revealed that 86% have seen a libido life since starting the therapy.

After discussing these intense effects with her doctor, Nikki was recommended a Mirena coil combined with oestrogen gel – the results were nothing short of life-changing. She found herself with the perfect amount of energy, her sleep patterns improved, and her libido was through the roof. “For the first time, I genuinely felt alive and intensely sexual. The confidence boost was undeniable; I felt more attractive, lost weight, saw my hormonal skin clear up, and even my hair became thicker,” she says. 

In fact, according to IllicitEncounters’ poll, 68% of women taking HRT reported a significant improvement in self-image and confidence, while 71% felt more sexually satisfied.

Nikki became obsessed with sex, thinking about it constantly. Masturbation became a daily necessity, and she began exploring with toys and watching porn for the first time in her life. After years of a dormant sex life, she was making up for lost time with a vengeance. 

Unfortunately, reviving her sex life with her husband was out of the question. Being much older than her and struggling with erectile dysfunction for years, Nikki’s husband forced the couple to live a celibate life for over a decade. It was only after taking HRT that she realised that she needed more.

Nikki’s experience aligns with findings that 59% of women say their partners couldn’t keep up with their increased sex drive after taking HRT, prompting them to look elsewhere for sexual fulfilment.

Joining IllicitEncounters, Nikki sought not just an emotional connection but physical satisfaction too. “When I met my lover, he turned out to be incredible in bed, giving me sensations I had never experienced before, likely because I was perpetually aroused. We are both eager to explore new things and fantasies together, something neither of us anticipated finding on IE,” she shares. 

This combination of HRT and IllicitEncounters has been a revelation for Nikki, making her deeply question her marriage. “At 51, I feel like I’ve been reborn, and I’m increasingly convinced that I shouldn’t have to stay in a stale and unfulfilling relationship. HRT has given me a new lease on life, and my affair has shown me what I’ve been missing. It’s a complex situation, but one thing is clear: I refuse to go back to feeling lifeless and unfulfilled,” she concludes.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

According to Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, “Nikki’s story isn’t uncommon. Not only can HRT alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause for many women, but it can also rejuvenate their sex lives and self-confidence. For some, like Nikki, this newfound vitality has led to significant changes and challenges in their personal relationships.

HRT is not just a remedy for menopause symptoms but a catalyst for transformation, leading women like Nikki to rediscover their desires and redefine their lives.”

Today is the peak day for affairs as schools break up for the summer holidays, study finds

The key findings

* Dubbed ‘Frisky Friday’, there is expected to be a 74% rise in people seeking an affair as schools break up for the summer holidays.

* A whopping 41% of cheats will be meeting up with their lovers at lunchtime today, whilst 7% have admitted they’ve planned a sneaky weekend away before spending the next six weeks with family.

* For cheats who won’t be able to see their lovers this summer, they’ll be using discreet apps like Telegram (42%) and Signal (31%). Whilst others have set up private email addresses (28%), bought a separate phone (8%) and even plan on passing on messages through mutual friends (5%).

* The study was conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site.

As the temperature rises and schools close their doors for the summer, there’s more than just holidays on the horizon. Today is the day people are most likely to cheat – dubbed ‘Frisky Friday’, the 19th July promises a flurry of secret meet-ups, as love rats scramble to spend time with their lovers before settling into full-time family mode over the summer break.

According to statistics from the UK’s largest extramarital dating site, IllicitEncounters.com, the first two weeks of July have already shown a 26% increase in activity. However, the real ‘cheatwave’ is predicted for the third week, with user activity expected to spike by 55% and that’s due to peak today, as a whopping 74% rise in user activity is anticipated.

So, when exactly will these secret liaisons take place? According to a poll conducted by the affairs site involving 1,500 of its members, ‘Frisky Friday’ is looking to be a packed day for love rats. The majority of trysts are set to take place during lunch breaks, as 41% of cheaters slip away from their desks for a bite of forbidden fruit. 

A substantial 30% have scheduled evening meet-ups, sneaking in some passion before heading home to their unsuspecting partners. 

Others will be kick starting their day with an early encounter, as 22% plan on engaging in morning mischief.

The boldest of the bunch, making up 7%, are planning entire weekends away, fully immersing themselves in their extramarital escapades.

Maintaining these secret relationships over the summer holidays, with less freedom for parents and playing happy families becoming their priority, cheaters have revealed which methods they’ll be using to keep in touch with their lovers.

Instant messaging apps Telegram (42%) and Signal (31%) are the top choice for love rats looking to stay connected with their illicit partners over the summer break. 

Dedicated email accounts created with the sole purpose of keeping in touch with lovers for secret correspondence will help 28% of love rats maintain a cloak of secrecy.

8% of cheats will be using burner phones to maintain contact with their paramours, whilst 5% will be enlisting mutual friends as go-betweens for an extra layer of discretion this summer.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, commented on the ‘Frisky Friday’ phenomenon, saying, “When the school year wraps up, parents often find themselves with less freedom as the kids are around constantly, and it all becomes about keeping up appearances and family getaways.

On top of that, warmer weather and the excitement of the summer season often lead to increased risk-taking behaviour. We see this ‘cheatwave’ every July, and it seems that this year more people than ever before will be making the most of ‘Frisky Friday’, so couples should keep an eye out for those furtive glances and unexplained absences – today is set to be a day of discreet dalliances and secretive shenanigans.”

Study reveals the surprising effect that Euro 2024 is having on marriages

The key findings

* An unexpected wave of people have flocked to IllicitEncounters.com since the start of the Euro 2024 tournament – with a shocking 69% of women seeking an affair while the football’s on, up 19%.

* Activity on the married dating site spikes daily between 7pm and 11pm since the start of the tournament, with messaging peaking during halftime.

* Scotland’s last-minute defeat on Sunday saw record numbers of Scots using the site, after their disappointing exit from the tournament.

* The top three cities with the highest increase in site activity during Euro 2024 are Glasgow (42% increase), Aberdeen (39% increase), and London (36% increase).

* ‘Football widows’ are suffering most, with 76% admitting that feeling excluded and ignored by their football-obsessed partners drove them to seek attention elsewhere.

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

Ah, the Euros! A time for camaraderie, national pride, and… unexpected infidelity? According to experts, the Euro 2024 tournament has sparked a surprising increase in extramarital affairs, particularly amongst women. As the football frenzy grips Europe, it seems the beautiful game might be playing havoc off the pitch as well.

A significant spike in activity has been observed on the UK’s largest extramarital dating site, IllicitEncounters.com between 7pm and 11pm every day since the football tournament began, coinciding with the evening match slots – a surge especially prominent during matches featuring England and Scotland. 

It seems that when the referee blows the whistle, some fans are more than ready to blow off steam in other ways, with data showing a 45% increase in messaging during football games this week, with peak activity during halftime. 

Scotland’s dramatic last-minute defeat on Sunday and subsequent elimination from the Euros saw a record-breaking increase in online activity among Scots, as disappointed fans turned to their devices in droves seeking comfort.

In fact, the top three cities experiencing the highest increase in site activity during Euro 2024 are Glasgow (42% increase), Aberdeen (39% increase), and London (36% increase), with the highs and lows in England and Scotland’s matches clearly having an effect in these urban hubs.

With partners glued to the screen, many women have found themselves becoming ‘football widows’. As a large number of men become completely engrossed in the beautiful game, women are finding themselves with an unusual amount of free time, and as the saying goes, the devil finds work for idle hands. Mix in a dash of loneliness, a sprinkle of neglect, and a hint of resentment, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a wandering eye. 

According to a poll of 500 new female members using the affairs site, 76% admitted that feeling excluded and ignored by their football-obsessed partners drove them to seek attention elsewhere.

The preference for football over intimacy is also creating a notable divide in many relationships, with 54% of women stating that their partners become unbearable while watching football, leading to an uptick in arguments during the tournament.

For men, “going to the pub” has become the ultimate alibi, with a whopping 68% using this excuse throughout the Euros, providing them with the perfect cover to slip away for a few hours without arousing suspicion.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, spokesperson at IllicitEncounters.com, explains, “Football, for many men, becomes an all-consuming passion during these tournaments. When intimacy and communication are benched, it creates a massive divide in relationships.

Since Euro 2024 began on June 14th, we’ve seen a huge surge in new members joining our site, with a particularly interesting twist: 69% of these newcomers are women. Typically, we see a balanced 50/50 split, but the tournament has completely flipped the script.”

Jennifer from Dundee, who joined IllicitEncounters.com during Scotland’s match against Switzerland last week, said “My husband has always been a big fan of football, but the Euros has pushed our relationship to the limit, and he’s never been more obsessed. 

It’s like he transforms into a different person during matches. He just yells at the TV and snaps at me for the smallest things, and that’s when I realised how isolated I felt in my own home.

When I joined the site, I didn’t want to cheat – I was just desperate for some form of connection and attention, and finally that’s what I’m getting!”

Josh from London, who joined the site six months ago but is using the Euro 2024 tournament as an excuse for meeting his lover, said “My wife thinks I’m a footie fanatic, but I actually couldn’t care less about who wins the Euros. 

I was feeling trapped and unfulfilled in my marriage. Joining the site was a way to find excitement and passion again, and when the Euros started, I realised it was the perfect chance for me to meet up with my lover without getting caught.

My wife’s so understanding when it comes to my ‘football nights’, and she doesn’t question it when I say I’m heading to the pub to catch the match. It makes me feel a bit guilty, but the thrill of my double life is too strong to resist.”

UK’s Sexiest Politicians For 2024 Revealed

The key findings

* Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman are officially the UK’s sexiest politicians.

* With 23% of the female vote and 21% of the male vote, Nigel Farage and Suellla Braverman top the list.

* The Tories beat Labour as the sexiest overall party.

* The results come from a survey of members on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people.

With the general election just weeks away, IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, has asked its members to take part in a poll to find out which politician they find sexiest.

In a surprise twist, the ever-controversial Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has clinched the top spot, capturing 23% of the female vote. 

Not far behind, rugged and ready Conservative Johnny Mercer snagged second place (18%), with his military background clearing striking a chord with the ladies.

Hot on his heels is Labour leader Keir Starmer, who pulled in 16% of the vote, followed oddly, by Jacob Rees-Mogg (12%) whose old-school charm is seemingly setting hearts aflutter.

Conservative Ben Everett, who came under fire for posting ‘thirst trap’ photos on Instagram in November last year made the top 5 with 9% of the vote.

Sadly for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, his star seems to have dimmed since 2020, when he topped the poll, this year gaining just 3% of the vote.

For men, the sexiest female politician is, rather controversially, Conservative Suella Braverman (21%).

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Close on her heels is Labour’s Rosena Allin-Khan with 19%. Dr. Allin-Khan’s blend of compassion, intelligence, and striking looks clearly makes her a standout politician.

Conservative Esther McVey and former GB News presenter rounded off the top 3 with 15% of the vote.

Overall, the Tories came out on top taking 51% of the total vote share across both male and female categories, making them the sexiest party, compared to a disappointing 28.5% for Labour.

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said, “The latest poll on the UK’s sexiest people in politics has thrown a bit of a curveball with Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman crowned the reigning hotties.

When it comes to what makes politicians sexy, it’s not just about looks – it’s about swagger, confidence, and a dash of power that gets the heart racing. Nigel Farage, with his unapologetic, cheeky grin and devil-may-care attitude, seems to channel that bad boy charm women can’t resist – and his appearance on ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’ last year clearly worked wonders for his image.

Meanwhile, Suella Braverman’s poised, no-nonsense demeanour exudes a fierce passion and authority that’s seemingly undeniably attractive for a lot of men.

Politics isn’t just about policies – it’s also a stage where charisma shines, and let’s face it, a little bit of controversy adds a spark of sexual intrigue too. 

Our poll will be running for our members right until election day, and I have no doubt we’ll see these politicians shuffling up and down this list based on their actions over the next couple of weeks!”​

Can you smell a (love) rat? Study reveals cheats’ most popular scents

The key findings

* The top ten fragrances worn by cheats has been revealed in a new study – Dior Sauvage took the top spot (24%), followed by Chanel Allure (17%) and Versace Eros (12%).

* A whopping 82% of men admitted they use a separate fragrance depending on whether they’re spending time with their lovers or primary partners.

* 1 in 3 men revealed they’ve bought their partners the same fragrance worn by their mistresses in order to mask any odours that could give away their infidelity.

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

They say the nose knows, but can it sniff out a cheater? A study by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest dating site for people seeking extramarital affairs, has exposed the fragrances most popular among those who stray.

In this scent-sational survey which involved 2,000 men signed up to the affairs site, they were asked which fragrance is their go-to. The findings revealed that 1 in 4 men choose Dior Sauvage when aiming to charm their extramarital partners with its bold and rugged scent.

Chanel Allure, known for its sophisticated and timeless aroma, came in second (17%), while the seductive Versace Eros ranked third (12%) among the fragrances most worn by adulterers.

The survey also revealed that a whopping 82% of men admitted to wearing a different fragrance when meeting their affair partner, showcasing a calculated approach to their scent selections.

And, over half of men (53%) reported that wearing a particular scent gave them a confidence boost during their secret rendezvous, helping them feel more attractive and self-assured.

Gifting perfume to a spouse might seem innocent, but the study uncovered a more cunning motive. 32% of men admitted to giving their wives the same perfume their lovers wear, in a bid to blur scent trails and avoid suspicion.

But why these particular scents? It’s all about the emotions they evoke and the confidence they instil, according to sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com.

“Scent is a powerful sense directly linked to memory and emotion,” she says. “Choosing a particular fragrance for an affair is a strategic move to create a memorable and passionate experience.

Expert comment

Leoni also warns of the potential pitfalls. “Scent can be a giveaway. If the partner recognizes the fragrance, it could lead to suspicion and discovery. It’s a risky game that many might not even realise they’re playing.”

James from Hull, a member of the married dating site who took part in the study, said, “I swear by Dior Sauvage when meeting women from the site. It’s not just about smelling good – it’s about the confidence and allure it gives me. When I wear Sauvage, I feel like I can conquer anything because it gives me an edge, a sense of invincibility that’s crucial when I’m meeting someone new.

When I met up with my first lover, I was nervous but the moment she commented on how great I smelled, it was like a switch flipped. We connected instantly, and I think a lot of that is thanks to the fragrance I was wearing, which is why I made it my signature scent for secret meets.

I’ve been seeing my current lover for over three months now, and at one point I was getting quite self-conscious, constantly worrying about whether I’m leaving any tracks that would make my wife suspicious. So, to cover all bases, I bought my wife the same perfume as my lover in the hope of blurring the lines.

My wife has always loved receiving perfumes as gifts, so it wasn’t unusual for me to buy her one. When I chose my lover’s perfume for her, it was a strategic move in case she ever caught a whiff of it on me. It’s a way to keep my worlds from colliding.”

Woman makes shocking decision after finding out cheating husband used campervan for an affair

The key findings

* A Reddit post from a concerned wife sparked a frenzied discussion about the use of campervans to disguise infidelity last week.
* The user has now provided an update, confirming her worst fears and revealing her next steps to seek revenge – by having her own affair.
IllicitEncounters.com has been in touch with the woman, offering her lifetime Emerald membership on the UK’s largest married dating site.

A worried wife took Reddit by storm last week, sharing her concerns about her husband’s potential infidelity, as her female intuition led her to believe that he’d been ‘up to no good’ in their campervan.

The woman, having bought the campervan with her husband during lockdown in 2020, described how she’d started to question whether his excuses of “ overnight work trips” and using the campervan as “his office” were real after she entered the vehicle days and was overwhelmed with the “stench of female perfume”.

The original post titled “I think my husband’s having an affair in our campervan” racked up nearly 500,000 views and now, the woman has provided a shocking update.

After finding sexy underwear “stuffed in a drawer inside the camper” over the weekend, the suspicious wife confronted her husband with the evidence in hand, who soon admitted to infidelity.

In an unexpected twist, the Reddit user updated the community revealing her plans for revenge – by having her own affair.

The woman controversially confessed to signing up to married dating sites, “taking control and refusing to be the victim”.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest married dating site, commented on the controversial Reddit post, “It’s not uncommon for scorned lovers to want to get revenge after finding out about a betrayal – especially women. 

In a survey we conducted back in March, we found that 38% of women admitted to revenge cheating after discovering their partner’s infidelity. Just 27% of men, on the other hand, retaliated by being unfaithful.

After following this woman’s story on Reddit, we reached out to her and she’s now been offered lifetime Emerald membership on IllicitEncounters.com.

There’s something undeniably liberating about taking control of your own narrative, especially when you’ve been wronged. We hope that a revenge affair can serve as a form of catharsis for this woman, allowing her to reclaim her confidence and sense of independence in the face of heartache.”

Daring campervan owners are taking their affairs on the road

The key findings

* A Reddit post from a concerned wife sparked a frenzied discussion about the use of campervans to disguise infidelity.
* The woman has started to question her husband’s excuses for going on “overnight work trips” and using the mobile abode as “his office”.
* A survey conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site, found that using four-wheel homes for affairs happens more often than you’d think.
* 89% of cheats who own a campervan or motorhome admitted to hosting their lovers in their vehicles.
* 1 in 5 of those even admitted to having steamy encounters whilst parked outside their homes – with their spouses blissfully unaware just metres away.

A worried wife took to Reddit to share her concerns about her husband’s potential infidelity, when her female intuition led her to believe that he’s been “up to no good” in their campervan.

The woman, having bought the campervan with her husband during lockdown in 2020, described how she’s started to question whether his excuses of “overnight work trips” and using the campervan as “his office” are real after she entered the vehicle days ago and was overwhelmed with the “stench of female perfume”.

The post titled “I think my husband’s having an affair in our campervan” received an overwhelming response from users within hours, with the most up-voted reply suggesting the woman should “Get a spy cam and find out”, whilst others recommended buying an AirTag to track his movements.

And it turns out the use of campervans by cheats is more frequent than thought. In fact, a staggering 89% of adulterers confessed to inviting their lovers for secret trysts within the cosy confines of their four-wheel homes.

A recent survey of 1,800 members of extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com revealed that 1 in 40 cheats own a motorhome or campervan – surprisingly above the national average, with the number of motorhomes in the UK having risen to over 300,000.

1 in 5 brave motorhome-owning cheats even admitted to getting steamy with their lovers while parked outside their homes with their spouses blissfully unaware of what’s going on just metres away.

An astonishing 1 in 20 adulterers confessed to installing secret compartments within their vehicles specifically for the purpose of concealing evidence of their extramarital activities – including sexy lingerie and sex toys.

The South West was revealed as having the highest number of motorhome rendezvous enthusiasts according to research, with 33% of cheats admitting they’ve used their mobile abodes for discreet encounters – which is fitting considering Bristol recently hit headlines as the UK’s van dwelling capital.

The South East (18%), Scotland (15%), the East of England (11%) and Northern Ireland (10%) were found to be the areas within the UK where cheating motorhome owners were most likely to be lurking.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Renowned sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni, commented on the results of the survey, saying “The allure of using motorhomes for affairs is nothing new. The privacy of your own place and the fact that it can be used for quick getaways from prying eyes makes it ideal for hiding infidelity.

It’s like a mobile love shack, offering a highway to hanky-panky for those seeking a detour from the ordinary. 

Just remember, relationships built on secrets have a tendency to hit a rocky road. So, while campervan flings may seem like a thrilling adventure, make sure you steer clear of potholes and navigate the journey with care.”

* Aries tops the charts of the most likely to stray in a relationship, followed by Capricorn and Gemini.
* Taurus is the most faithful star sign, followed by Virgo and Cancer.
* Data released by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site.

The star signs most likely to cheat on their partner have been revealed – and it’s bad news if you’re hitched to an Aries.

Data analysed by extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com found that ‘horny’ Ariens are most likely to have an affair, with 21% of love rats born between the 21st March and the 19th April.

Capricorns follow closely behind, with 14% belonging to the Earth sign.

If your partner is a Taurus, though, you can breathe a sigh of relief – just 3% of cheats fall under this star sign.

Virgo (4%) and Cancer (5%) were also found to be the most faithful zodiac signs, making them the ideal partner if you’re looking for peace of mind. 

The married dating site looked at data from 15,000 cheaters who joined the website within the past twelve months, and findings suggest it may be possible to predict the likelihood of infidelity within a relationship.

Jason from Windsor who joined IllicitEncounters.com in January said “As an Aries, I’ve always been drawn to adventure and excitement.

I’m a devoted partner on the surface, but let’s just say I’ve got a bit of a wandering eye. It’s not that I don’t love my wife, but sometimes the thrill of the chase is too hard to resist. 

Call it a weakness or blame it on the stars, but life’s too short to stick to one path.”

Another member of the married dating site, Lucy from Bath, commented “I started having an affair last summer after reaching breaking point with my husband. He’s a Pisces who seems to swim away from any sort of conflict, which means we’ve never managed to get around our marriage issues.

I’m a Capricorn, and I’ve always prided myself on my loyalty and reliability. But guess what? Even us goats have our moments when we decide enough is enough. Now, I’m seeing a fellow Capricorn and I can finally say that I’ve found someone who really understands me.”

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni, commented on the data, saying, “Astrology, with its mystique and allure, has long captured our imagination, offering insights into our personalities, behaviours, and even our relationships.

Impulsive Aries are the daredevils of the zodiac. With their boundless energy and penchant for excitement, they’re always chasing after the next thrill, making them more likely to be led straight into the arms of temptation.

Loyal and dependable, Taurus is the poster child for commitment. They’re not about to let a little itch sway them from their path of devotion. So, if you’ve got yourself a Taurus partner, hold onto them tight – they’re as faithful as they come!”
