Here’s How Many People Get Married… Even Though They’re Already Having An AFFAIR!

Image result for affair

  • 8% of married people admitted to getting married even though they were already having an affair; the majority (64%) were men
  • 55% said that they began to care deeply for both people so decided to pursue both relationships
  • 27% continued their affair for at least a year into the marriage, with 5% pursuing the affair for 5 years or more
  • The research raises several salient points, such as whether some people are born with a natural propensity to cheat
  • The survey of over 900 married people is brought to you by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

Who can you trust? Not your spouse, possibly. New research from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, surveyed over 900 of their members to find that 8% admitted to getting married even though they were already having an affair.

As for the reasons why the adulterers in question chose not to break off their affairs, over half (55%) claimed that they began to care deeply for both people and were met with indecision, so they decided to continue to pursue both relationships in order to have the best of both worlds.

23% were worried that their fellow adulterer could potentially tell their wife or husband-to-be of their affair, so they, too, chose not to break it off.

“While an affair that manifests itself when a marriage begins to grow stale is simply commonplace, an affair before a marriage has even begun is an entirely different beast,” explains the site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant.

“It raises some salient points; namely, are we meant to be monogamous, are some people born with a natural propensity to cheat, and how or why is there a lack of even a semblance of foresight for an individual who takes this sort of decision?”

The study also showed that men were bigger culprits than women, with 64% of those who pursued an affair into their marriage being men. 27% of respondents admitted to continuing the affair for at least a year into their marriage, with 5% maintaining their affair for 5 years or more.

But whether the adulterer elects to break off their affair or not, they’re more than likely the beneficiary of this sort of scenario.

“In instances like this, the cheater is in a win-win situation,” Grant explains.

“Even if they admit their infidelity and lose their husband/wife as a result, they’re still likely to have the ‘safety net’ of their fellow adulterer to go to.

Likewise, if they break off their affair, with their spouse totally oblivious that it ever took place to begin with, it is their fellow adulterer who is left hurt and alone, with the cheater still able to pursue a relationship with their spouse.”

No Fast Charge, No Headphone Jack, But Could THIS Be the iPhone 7’s Biggest Omission? 

The dual camera allows for zoom and depth of field

  • For adulterers, the iPhone 7 is dead on arrival, primarily thanks to its lack of any significant security improvements
  • Over 75% of 1,000 adulterers would purchase a new phone specifically for their extra-marital liaisons if it introduced new security features
  • The iPhone 5/5S/5C is the most popular phone of choice for adulterers, owned by 17% of those surveyed
  • The results come from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

The iPhone 7 might be hogging all the headlines, but for one community in particular, it’s bound to be a crushing disappointment.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, has found that the iPhone 5/5S/5C is the most popular phone among adulterers, with 17% of a survey of over 1,000 people claiming to browse the site on one of the iPhone 5 devices, but there’s nothing to suggest that the iPhone 7 is going to surpass its younger siblings anytime soon.

“The announcement of a new iPhone is of interest to so many people nowadays, not least adulterers,” explains the site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant.

However, the new iPhone 7 announced just yesterday doesn’t shake things up significantly when it comes to the security department.

It’s a huge missed opportunity for Apple. A phone can often be the Achilles heel when you’re conducting an affair. Maybe you leave it lying around on the coffee table, or your partner sees a call, text or email come through from someone they don’t recognize.

There’s a myriad of sensitive and private data that could easily give away your movements and intentions.”

It’s no surprise then that over 75% of members surveyed said that they’d purchase a new phone specifically for their extra-marital liaisons if it did enough to improve its security measures even further.

Whilst stats from the married dating site show that over 50% of all traffic is from mobile devices, 35% of which being Apple devices, there’s little to suggest that the iPhone 7’s imminent release is going to change the game.

It’s not all bad news for Apple however, as a phone from the iPhone 5 family is evidently an adulterers dream.

“A trustworthy brand, fingerprint technology, and in the case of the 5C, a low price, one of the iPhone 5 family is an excellent and popular choice for the adulterer who isn’t looking to splash an exorbitant amount of money on a 2nd phone,” explains Grant.

“While there are even cheaper alternatives, particularly brands like OnePlus or Huawei, Apple have the branding and cachet that few others can match.”

Most Popular Phones for Adulterers

  1. Other (52%)
  2. iPhone 5/5S/5C (17%)
  3. iPhone 6S/S Plus (12%)
  4. Samsung Galaxy 6/6 Edge (10%)
  5. Samsung Galaxy 7/7 Edge (5%)
  6. OnePlus 2 (3%)
  7. iPhone 4 (1%)

Affairs Improve Physical and Mental Health; Here’s How 

  • An affair can be good for your mental and physical health, a new study has claimed
  • 42% of respondents noted improvements in their physical health as a direct result of an affair
  • Of that 42%, 91% agreed it was because they “exercised more and ate healthier” to impress their new lover
  • An affair can improve one’s mental health, too, with scientific research claiming that “an affair can be a healthy act”
  • The findings come from a study of approximately 600 people on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

An affair can be good for your health, a new study has revealed. IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, spoke to 600 of their members who have previously been successful on the site.

42% claimed that their physical well-being has improved as a direct result of their affair. Of that 42%, an overwhelmingly majority (91%) agreed it was because they “exercised more and ate healthier” in order to impress their new lover.

But there are also many mental health benefits of having an affair, as the site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains:

“We’re very cognisant of the stigma surrounding affairs.

It’s dangerous to generalize, yet many do it anyway. But this preconceived notion that an affair is overwhelmingly evil or negative is simply not true at all.

For several reasons, people get stuck in marriages that aren’t working. People grow apart, sex isn’t on the table anymore, and serious medical conditions can take their toll, too – it’s impossible to not be broken down mentally because of that.

But despite this, a lot of people accept the status quo. Nobody wants to feel unloved, and an affair allows those stuck in dead marriages to remember what it is like to feel wanted again and fill in the gaps in their lives that are sorely missing at home, be they emotional or physical, hence the overwhelmingly positive response from our members.

They are far happier balancing two relationships, knowing that they are loved and wanted in at least one of them, than staying quiet and reserved in a relationship that is doing them more harm than good.”

These sentiments have been previously supported by scientific research, with the 2011 journal Personal Relationshipsclaiming:

“Individuals who are in insecure relationships are more vulnerable to longer-term health risks from conflict than are others.”

Psychologists, such as Douglas La Bier, have also claimed that “an affair can be a healthy act,” as it “can provide feelings of affirmation and restore vitality, and can activate courage to leave the marriage when doing so is the healthiest path. The affair can generate greater emotional honesty and mature behavior.”

Linda, who responded to the survey, added:

“An affair helped me emotionally and physically. From the physical side of things, meeting someone new gave me greater motivation to exercise more and eat less – my health wasn’t a massive issue for me soon after I got married, it didn’t need to be.

Secondly, an affair made me realise just how sour my marriage had become, so I opened up to my husband about it. It gave me the courage to speak to him honestly about our physical relationship, or lack thereof, and we’re now in an open relationship as a result – something we’ve both agreed to and are very happy with.”

Why You’ll Never Look At Brown Rice, Sweet Potatoes and Edamame the Same Way Again

  • Over half of male adulterers are adopting a superfood-heavy diet in order to get fit and ‘woo’ someone outside of their marriage
  • The most popular superfoods are brown rice (15%), sweet potatoes (13%) and edamame (12%)
  • Marks & Spencer (33%) and Waitrose (27%) are the most popular supermarkets of choice for male adulterers in search of superfoods
  • The survey of over 1,000 people is brought to you by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity

Is your husband buying walnuts because he’s being led by his nuts? A new survey seems to suggest that that’s the case.

The survey of over 1,000 male adulterers on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, revealed that over half (53%) are stocking up on superfoods in their bid to get fit to ‘woo’ a new person outside of their marriage.

The most popular superfoods? Brown rice (15%), sweet potatoes (13%), and edamame (12%), as the site’s spokesman, Christian Grant, explains:

“With superfoods all the rage these days, a deluges of people are changing their diet in an attempt to get fit and healthy, but for adulterers, you can’t help but question the motives.

For all of us, when there’s a new man or lady that’s caught your eye, it’s only natural to be motivated to do whatever you can to attract their attention, and improving our physical appearance is normally priority number one.

With a lot of the members on IllicitEncounters.com in long-term marriages, you could say that they’ve rested on their laurels a little bit, but that all changes when they find someone new and the whole dating process begins anew.

So if your partner has developed a sudden and inexplicable urge for asparagus, spinach or brown rice, to name but a few foods, alarm bells should be ringing.”

Theo, a 38-year-old life coach from London, added:

“I didn’t even know what canola oil was two weeks ago, but now my cupboards are stocked full of the stuff. Luckily my wife is none the wiser – she’s actually pleased that I’m getting in shape – so it’s worked out quite well!”

Respondents were also asked for their supermarket of choice and, perhaps unsurprisingly, it was Marks & Spencer (33%) and Waitrose (27%), who’ve a reputation for being more premium than the rest of their competitors, who came in 1st and 2nd place respectively.

The least popular supermarkets were ASDA (8%), ALDI (5%) and LIDL (4%), as Grant explains:

“When you’re working to better yourself to impress someone else, you don’t cut corners – you want to look your best, and that’s reflected in the places in which you shop.”

Top 10 Superfoods Among Adulterers

1. Other (29%)
2. Brown Rice (15%)
3. Sweet Potatoes (13%)
4. Edamame (12%)
5. Spinach (11%)

Peak day for affairs is this Friday (July 22) as schools break up for summer holidays, according to a study

* Frisky Friday sees a 70% rise in extra-marital affairs as adulterers grab one last chance to see their lovers before the summer getaway;

* The first three weeks of July are the busiest time of the year for affairs;
* Second most popular month for affairs is June;
* Other peaks are in September and January as cheats return to their lovers after long holidays with their family;
* Results come from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

Britons cheat more when the weather is hot – and the peak day for affairs is this Friday (July 22) as the schools break up for the summer holidays, according to a new study.

The whole week before the big summer getaway is the busiest of the year for extra-marital activity.

And it reaches its peak on ‘Frisky Friday’ with adulterers grabbing one last chance to see their lovers before going away with their families.

The first three weeks of July see a 25% rise in activity in extra-marital dating sites.
This shoots up to 54% higher than normal in the third week with a 70% rise on Frisky Friday – the busiest single day of the year for affairs.

Flaming June is appropriately named because it is the second busiest month for cheating.
The third most popular month is September, as cheats hook up with lovers after going away with their families.

The fourth most popular month is January as adulterers return to their secret partners after spending the Christmas break with their families.

The results are revealed in a new survey of 1,000 people IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people.

It found that 82% of adulterers stay in touch with lovers while they are on holiday with their families.

The most popular method is by text, followed by phone chats, FaceTiming, email and Skype.

And 62% of cheats hook up with their lovers within a week of returning home.
One in ten cheats 11% see their lovers while they are away with their families – either by arranging to go to nearby destinations or holidaying nearer home.

Four out of ten adulterers (42%) go on a summer break with their lovers as well as their family – most commonly using work commitments to hide their secret break.

The most popular destinations where adulterers go on holiday are Spain, followed by Italy, America, Thailand and France.

IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said:

“We are experiencing the busiest three weeks for cheating as we head towards the big summer getaway.

Adulterers are grabbing one last chance to have a bit of fun before they head off for two weeks away with their families.

Cheating peaks this Friday when those having affairs can excuse their absence from home by saying they are catching up with work colleagues before the holidays.

All IllicitEncounters.com research shows that the summer months are an incredibly busy time for affairs.

The sun makes us more optimistic and open for adventure. We are all wearing a lot less, too, and that makes people more likely to cheat.

The long nights mean we are more likely to be outside socialising and meeting new people.”

IllicitEncounters.com, the leading authority on infidelity, has more than 1 million registered members in the UK.

Its subscriptions rise by 25% over the summer months as more people look for fun in the sun.

Husbands Beware: Surveyors Are More Likely to Inspect Your Wife Than Your House

  • Surveyors have an affair while on the job more than any other profession, a new survey of over 3,000 people has revealed
  • Plumbers, carpenters and electricians are also among the most adulterous during work hours, finishing 2nd to 4th respectively
  • 55% cited the freedom of movement their job affords as the biggest factor behind their ability to have an affair while at work
  • 40% stated that being self-employed was the number one factor
  • The results are brought to you by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity

Less interesting than a fireman, not as heroic as a doctor – being a surveyor seldom turns heads.

Slip under the radar they might, but perhaps they shouldn’t, as a new survey has revealed that surveyors are the most likely to have an affair while on the job.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, surveyed over 3,000 men from a variety of different disciplines, with over 60% admitting to having an affair while on the job. Of those who said yes, 15% were surveyors.

A string of manual labour jobs, namely plumbers, carpenters and electricians, occupied positions two to four, with 13%, 12% and 10% respectively.

The survey also found that almost a third (31%) of respondents who admitted to having an affair while working also said that they are having an affair with more than one person, while 55% cited the freedom of movement their job affords as the biggest factor behind their ability to have an affair while at work – 40% stated that being self-employed was the number one factor.

Christian Grant, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, explains:

“The key word here is ‘freedom.’ Being out of the office for hours on end, without the peering eyes of your boss or colleagues, gives you a ton of time and a whole lot of opportunity. And with surveyors often travelling the length and breadth of the country, they can expand their horizons and meet people far outside their locale, decreasing the risk that they’ll be spotted by someone from their neighbourhood.

Similarly, electricians, plumbers and carpenters are regularly on the move, but they can often be their own boss too. They decide their own hours, pick and choose their own clients, and ultimately have no one to report to.

They’ll pop a text to their partner to let them know that a job has overrun and shoot off to fix someone else’s plumbing, so to speak.

In contrast, it’s very difficult for a doctor or a teacher for example to find an opportunity during the working day to meet with their mistress.”

The full results are as follows:

Most Likely to Cheat While on the Job:

  1. Other (24%)
  2. Surveyor (15%)
  3. Plumber (13%)
  4. Carpenter (12%)
  5. Electrician (10%)
  6. Higher Management/Senior Executives (9%)
  7. Lawyer (7%)
  8. Gardener (6%)
  9. Holiday Rep (4%)

A Parliamentary Affair – Gove Repels More than Just Conservative Voters

  • Men and women would most like to cheat with Stephen Crabb and Gloria De Piero respectively
  • Most men would completely avoid Nicky Morgan, while Michael Gove sends most women running for the hills
  • Most men would leave their wife for Theresa May, thanks to her solvency and power, while most women would do the same for Nick Clegg
  • Outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron earned just 2% of the female vote for the politician women would most like to have an affair with, with 3% voting for him in the ‘avoid’ category.
  • 18% of women would avoid Nigel Farage entirely
  • The results are brought to you by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading authority on infidelity

Underneath the political civil war and seemingly impending doom and gloom of a post-Brexit Britain, IllicitEncounters.com, the leading authority on infidelity, asked its members to take part in a slightly different kind of poll, with over 1,000 of them voting on which politician they would most like to have an affair with, divorce their spouse for or avoid entirely.

The results reveal that most women (30%) would most like to have an affair with conservative MP Stephen Crabb, while men would most like to be unfaithful with Labour MP Gloria De Piero – she received 40% of the male vote.

Perhaps rather surprisingly, Theresa May was voted as the politician that most men would divorce their partner for (33%), with 75% of those who voted for her citing her solvency and seemingly imminent rise to the top table as their main reasons for doing so.

The women approached things from a different angle; not choosing someone who was in power, rather someone who has recently relinquished it, as 30% would divorce their husband for former Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg.

33% of those who voted for Clegg did so because they thought he was a decent and genuine man, while 25% said that they thought he would make a good father.

And for the politician that most people would avoid? Well, Michael Gove was a comfortable winner here, raking in 40% of the female vote, while Jeremy Corbyn finished in 2nd place with 20% of the vote.

Men, meanwhile, would most avoid education secretary Nicky Morgan, who gained 35% of the vote. She beat Shadow Health Secretary Diane Abbot, who came second with 25% of the vote.

Outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron earned just 2% of the female vote for the politician women would most like to have an affair with, with 3% voting for him in the ‘avoid’ category.

Former Labour leader Ed Miliband edged out Cameron in both categories, receiving 3% and 4% of the vote respectively.

Former UKIP leader and Brexit figurehead Nigel Farage received 10% of the female vote for the politician women would most like to have an affair with, but 18% would avoid him entirely.

“Politicians are rarely known for their beauty…” says IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, “…but there are certainly a few presentable MPs.

It was no surprise to see the presentable Stephen Crabb and Gloria De Piero top their respective polls.

With that having been said, perhaps the most notable point is the difference between men and women when it came to the politician they’d most likely divorce their own partner for.

While men gravitated to Theresa May for her power and status – and less so her physical appearance – women placed more importance on different issues, voting for who they felt was the most decent and honest person, as well as who would make the best father.”

Full details of the winners (and/or losers) are listed below:

Sex Is On Fire, As Rock Listeners Are More Likely to Have an Affair

 

Sex Is On Fire, As Rock Listeners Are More Likely to Have an Affair

  • Rock fans are more likely to have an affair, with 27% of adulterers on IllicitEncounters.com citing rock as their favourite genre
  • In 2nd place was country music, followed by blues
  • The joint least adulterous genres were R & B and House
  • Over half of respondents (55%) wouldn’t date someone if they had opposite musical tastes
  • Sexy symbols, such as Mick Jagger and Jim Morrison, have undoubtedly influenced their fans with their adulterous misdemeanours
  • The survey was conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the leading authority on infidelity.

(Illicit) sex is on fire, so says a new survey. IllicitEncounters.com, the leading authority on infidelity, surveyed over 1,000 of their members and found that fans of rock music are most likely to pursue an extramarital affair.

Over a quarter (27%) of respondents chose rock music as their favourite genre, which included the sub-genres of punk rock, alternative rock, grunge, prog rock and rock ‘n’ roll.

Country music came second with 20%, blues third with 14%, while pop music and funk & soul rounded off the top five, receiving 12% and 7% of the votes respectively.

Other genres such as metal, rap and hip hop, r & b, house and electronic/dance received just a small percentage of the overall vote.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Christian Grant, said:

“With the average age of men and women on IllicitEncounters being approximately 47 and 42-years-old respectively, it’s perhaps of little surprise that rock music come out on top, with many of our members growing up in an era where some of the biggest rock bands of all time were at their peak.

That’s not forgetting the inextricable links between rock music and sex. Whether it’s Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones, Jim Morrison of The Doors or Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, rock music has always provided sex symbols, many of which have led the way with regards to promiscuity.

There’s no doubt that many of our members would have idolised and have been influenced by these artists at some point in their youth.”

Interestingly, the survey also revealed that over half (55%) of members wouldn’t date someone whose music taste is the polar opposite of their own, as Grant explains:

“When establishing a connection with someone, be it friendship or romance, you’re always looking for some common ground, and music is a biggie. Everyone likes music in some form or another, so it’s almost guaranteed to come up in conversation. With so many people passionate about music, vastly different tastes can be a real turnoff.

On the other hand, there are still plenty of people who relish discovering new music that they wouldn’t otherwise go out of their way to listen to, so a partner with different tastes can expand their horizons.”

The full results are as follows:

Genre of Music Percentage of Vote
Rock 27%

Yes! Yes! Yes! 68% of women admit faking orgasms – and almost a third of men, too – according to new study

* Men or women who are cheating are much less likely to fake it when they are with their illicit lover;
* Main reason both sexes fake it is to spare their long-term partner’s feelings because sex was taking too long;
* Women are eight times more likely to fake an orgasm with a long-term partner than with a new love;
* Half of women (54%) and 36% of men say there is nothing wrong in faking it;
* Four out of ten women (42%) said they found it easy to fool a lover into thinking they have climaxed;
* Results are from a new survey of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com – Britain’s leading dating website for married people
Almost seven out of ten women have faked an orgasm – and nearly a third of men, too, according to new study.
It found that 68% of women and 28% of men have pretended to climax with a partner.
Half the women surveyed (54%) said they had faked it because the sex was taking too long and they didn’t want to hurt their partner’s feelings.
Other reasons women gave for pretending were they found sex boring (37%), not in the mood (36%),  too tired (35%),  they had drunk too much alcohol (28%), their partner was new and could not satisfy them (16%), they struggle to climax through intercourse (15%).
Sparing a partner’s feeling was the main reason men fake it – chosen by 22% of those questioned, followed by too much alcohol (20%).
One in ten men said they had faked an orgasm during a one-night stand after realising they had made a mistake.
The results come from a new poll of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people.
It found that women were eight times more likely to fake an orgasm with their husband or long-term partner than with a new lover or someone with whom they were cheating.
Men were three times more likely to pretend with their wife or long-term partner than with someone they had just started dating or having an affair with.
Half the women questioned (54%) said they saw nothing wrong in faking a climax because to reveal the truth would cause more harm.
Fewer men (36%) saw nothing wrong in faking it.
Four out of ten women (42%) said that it was ‘easy’ to fool men into thinking they have climaxed.
Only 12% of men said they would find faking it ‘easy’.
Actress Megan Ryan is probably responsible for the most famous faked female orgasm in movies in the scene in Where Harry Met Sally where she
explained how easily women can fool men by faking an orgasm while eating in a busy diner.
IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said: “It is very clear from these findings that there are a lot of women having rubbish sex with their husbands and long-term boyfriends and faking it to spare their feelings.
“It is easier to do that than confront the deeper problems in a relationship.
“Perhaps what is more surprising is how many men are faking it, too – largely for the same reasons as women. They put on an act because their marriage or long-term relationship is stale  and they are going through the motions when it comes to sex.
“All IllicitEncounters.com research shows that couples enjoy their best sex right at the start of a relationship when things are still fresh and you are both excited to be trying something new.”
IllicitEncounters.com has more than one million members in the UK.
Male members are mostly white collar professionals – earning an average of £54,000 a year.
Women tend to be younger than male members and they date more frequently – averaging three dates a month to men’s two.

Blondes may have more fun – but brunettes make the better lovers, according to a new survey

  • They are more adventurous in bed and like sex more;
  • But blondes are more likely to cheat;
  • Nine out of ten of us (91%) say that a sense of humour is a big factor when choosing a lover.
  • Men really do think about sex more than women – with 59% admitting it is on their mind several times a day, compared to just 45% of women.

Blondes may have more fun, but brunettes make the better lovers, according to a new survey.

They are more adventurous in bed and like sex more.

Almost six out of ten people (58%) say brunettes are better in bed.

The results are the same for men and women – just 16% chose blondes, followed by lovers with black (12%) and red hair (9%).

Four out of ten respondents (42%) say brunettes are more likely try new things in the bedroom.

And just fewer than half those polled (47%) also say that brunettes are the most sexually voracious.

The results are a resounding victory for brunette beauties such as Kate Beckinsale, Emily Blunt and Natalie Portman over blondes such as Scarlett Johansson and Cameron Diaz.
They are from a new survey of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people.

Blondes may not be best for sex but they are top when it comes to cheating.

Just over half those polled (54%) said blondes are the most unfaithful, followed by brunettes (26%) and those with black (12%) and red hair (8%).

The poll tested the truth about some of our other well-known sexual sayings.

You CAN laugh someone into bed.

Nine out of ten of us (91%) say that a sense of humour is a big factor when choosing a lover.

And a quarter of women (24%) say they would sleep with a man who is funny even if they aren’t attracted to his looks.

Don’t judge a potential partner’s prowess in bed by their moves on the dance floor.
Three-quarters of women (75%) and 63% of men say their best lover was a terrible dancer.

Most people aren’t swayed by money when they are looking for a partner.

More than six out of ten of us (64%) say income is irrelevant, though a third (33%) admit it is a factor but not the main one.

Just 4% of us say wealth is the ultimate turn-on and that money can buy you love.
One saying which appears to be true is the fact that quiet people are more sexually voracious.

More than a third of us (36%) say this is the case most of the time and 56% reckon it is sometimes true. Just 9% say quiet people are also shy in the bedroom.

Men really do think about sex more than women – with 59% admitting it is on their mind several times a day, compared to just 45% of women.

Christian Grant, spokesman for IllicitEncounters.com, said: “There is no doubt that blonde women get more interest from men on dating sites.

“But they are not likely to make the best lovers and they need watching carefully because they could be dating someone else at the same time.

“This new research from IllicitEncounters.com shows that brunettes might be the best options if you want to have fun on a date – and a great time in the bedroom.”

Most of IllicitEncounters.com’s male members are white collar professionals earning an average of £54,000 a year.

Women on the site cheat more than men – enjoying three clandestine dates a month, compared to men’s two.
