Today is the day that people are most likely to have an affair. The 6th January, dubbed ‘Blue Monday’ for relationships, shares the spotlight with Divorce Day, as both land on the first working Monday of the year. 

Relationship experts warn that more people are likely to start having an affair today than any other time of the year, driven by post-holiday blues and a desire for a fresh start.

Leading affairs site, IllicitEncounters.com, has reported a staggering 33% increase in new member registrations compared to this time last year, with the trend expected to climb further as the week progresses. 

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

The website, which caters to those seeking discreet extramarital connections, has been overwhelmed by the influx. “It’s the busiest we’ve ever been. The start of a new year always prompts a spike, but 2025 has started off with unprecedented demand – in fact, we’ve admittedly been struggling to keep up with the surge in sign-ups, but we’ve got a team working around the clock to keep things running smoothly.” said IllicitEncounters.com spokesperson, Jessica Leoni.

About the research

To gain insight into the motivations driving this surge, the site conducted a poll of 500 newly registered members. Physical intimacy emerged as the top reason, cited by 37% of respondents, while 29% admitted to seeking the thrill and excitement of an affair. Meanwhile, 21% said they were looking for emotional support, a void left unfilled in their current relationships. A smaller percentage (5%) joined as an act of revenge after discovering their partner’s infidelity.

Kathy*, 38 from Brighton who joined the platform on New Year’s Day, shared her perspective, describing how she felt disillusioned after years of feeling invisible in her marriage. “It wasn’t an impulsive decision. I’ve been unhappy for a long time, and after the Christmas holidays, I realised I couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine,” she said. “I joined hoping to find someone who sees me, someone who brings joy back into my life. It’s not just about physical intimacy – although that’s important – it’s also about feeling wanted and valued again.”

According to IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesperson, Jessica Leoni, “The post-holiday period often exacerbates relationship tensions. People spend weeks in close quarters during the festive season, which can highlight existing cracks. January feels like a fresh start, and for some, that means exploring new connections, even outside their relationship.”

Cheaters are buying cunning gifts for their partners this Christmas to cover up their affairs

The key findings

* A controversial discussion began in an online forum, revealing how cheaters are using clever Christmas gift choices to keep their partners distracted while they have a secret affair.

* People shared tips on how tactical gifts, such as games consoles and golf lessons, can be the perfect way to keep their partners occupied.

* The post on the IllicitEncounters.com ‘Flirt Forum’ is just one of many unconventional topics discussed.

Gift-giving is a central part of the festive season for many, with people searching for the perfect present to surprise their loved ones. But for some, the gifts they choose serve a different purpose – keeping their partners distracted while they have an affair. 

shocking discussion revealed just how far some people are willing to go to make sure their partners are kept off the scent of their infidelity – and you may need to worry if you find a games console under the Christmas tree.

The thread began with one woman’s bold confession, sharing the seemingly thoughtful present she’ll be giving her partner,  “I’ve decided to gift him a Playstation for Christmas,” she wrote. “He’s been dropping hints about it all year, and honestly? It’s the perfect way to keep him completely distracted while I… well, let’s just say, focus on my own ‘activities.’ It’s a win-win really!”

The post quickly sparked a wave of responses from fellow members, with multiple women sharing they too had bought games consoles as a way of keeping their partners busy.

“I did this last year and it worked an absolute treat!” one user commented, while another said, “My husband absolutely wasn’t a gamer, that is, until I bought him a games console. It’s basically his hobby now and he even bought himself one of those headsets, so I can safely say he’s got other things on his mind than checking what I’m up to when I’m off to see my IE.”

Inspired by the other women, one poster commented, “I was about to go Christmas shopping for my husband, but now I’m thinking I might buy him a games console.”

A number of people went on to share their own devious gift-giving strategies, with one member admitting she cunningly sent her husband off golfing, saying ‘My go-to gifts are always something outdoorsy. Best buy was golf lessons and a set of clubs. He was so happy, and completely unaware that I just wanted to keep him busy while I got up to my own mischief.”

One man shared his own cheeky tactic: “Interesting… I’ve bought my wife pottery lessons so I know I’ll have Tuesday evenings free. She’ll have no idea there’s an ulterior motive behind it!”

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Commenting on the discussion which took place on the extramarital dating site, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Jessica Leoni, said “Our forum is designed to foster open, honest discussions, even if the topics might surprise people. It’s hard not to admire the ingenuity behind some of these gift ideas. Whether it’s PlayStations or pottery lessons, our members certainly know how to think outside the box when it comes to gift-giving.”

Revealed: The shocking secrets of office Christmas parties as 1 in 5 workers admit to making a move on their colleague

The key findings

* With office Christmas parties in full flow, 27% of people admit they’ve cheated at their festive work bash.
* 67% revealed they shared a kiss with a colleague, whilst 11% say they went all the way and slept with a workmate.

* 16% of people admitted to getting frisky with their bosses – the majority being men making a move on their female superiors.

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

For some, the office Christmas party is a highlight of the year – a chance to unwind, celebrate, and bond with colleagues. But for others, it’s an opportunity to throw caution to the wind, with a surprising 27% of workers admitting to cheating during their festive work bash.

The survey of 1,600 people conducted by extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com uncovered that women are more likely than men to give in to temptation at the Christmas party.  Whether it’s the magic of the season or the influence of an open bar, the data shows a pattern of festive work hookups that may leave lasting consequences.

Of the Christmas party cheats, a whopping 67% admitted to locking lips with a colleague. But for some, the holiday heat didn’t stop at a smooch. A saucy 11% confessed to taking things to the next level and hopping into bed with their coworkers.

And while it’s often assumed that these flings are harmless one-offs, the stats suggest otherwise: 24% of the workplace cheaters admitted to continuing their Christmas party affair beyond the festivities. 

Another surprising twist in the findings is the dynamic between bosses and employees. A daring 16% of respondents owned up to getting frisky with their bosses during the party – with men being the primary offenders making moves on female superiors.

One person who took part in the poll and asked to remain anonymous, shared their story: “I didn’t go into the party thinking it would happen. But after a few drinks, one thing led to another, and I ended up kissing a colleague I’d secretly fancied for ages. We’ve kept it going in secret ever since, and honestly, it’s added a spark to my otherwise boring job.”

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Sex and relationships expert Jessica Leoni from IllicitEncounters.com offered her take on the results: “The office Christmas party is a perfect storm for infidelity. Alcohol lowers inhibitions, and the festive atmosphere encourages people to let their hair down. Add in the proximity of colleagues who already spend a lot of time together, and it’s no wonder sparks fly. While these encounters might seem exciting in the moment, they can have lasting repercussions on both personal and professional relationships, which is worth keeping in mind.”

Couples issued warning ahead of ‘Unfaithful Friday’ as biggest day for infidelity lands tomorrow

The key findings

* Friday 6th December is the most popular day in the winter for having an affair, as adulterers celebrate ‘Cheatmas’ before holiday stress and family commitments kick in.

* Extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com reported a 28% increase in activity among members in the leadup to ‘Unfaithful Friday’.

* Adulterers who’ll be celebrating tomorrow have revealed the excuses they’ll be telling their partners, with 52% declaring they’ll be ‘working late’.

Couples across the country are being warned to keep an eye on their partners as the 6th December, dubbed ‘Unfaithful Friday’, is set to be the busiest day of the year for cheating, according to the UK’s most popular extramarital dating site.

IllicitEncounters.com has reported a 28% spike in activity on the website in the lead-up to the notorious day. The so-called ‘Cheatmas’ phenomenon, which typically falls on the first Friday of December, sees adulterers taking advantage of the calm before the holiday storm, using the day to indulge in infidelity before the stress of family gatherings and festive commitments take over.

A survey conducted by IllicitEncounters.com which involved 2,000 of its members found that 66% have already arranged secret meetings on ‘Unfaithful Friday’. 

For those who will be celebrating the controversial day, cheaters are seemingly well-prepared with the excuses they’ll be telling their partners. By far the most popular cover-up will be ‘working late’, with over half of respondents (52%) saying they’ll be clocking imaginary overtime.

Meanwhile, 21% will be claiming they’re off doing some ‘Christmas shopping’ and 18% will be insisting they’re simply ‘out with friends’.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, explains that ‘Unfaithful Friday’ represents the perfect storm for infidelity. “The holiday season brings a mix of stress, social events, and family obligations, which can cause some people to seek comfort outside their primary relationships. The timing of ‘Unfaithful Friday’ is particularly irresistible for cheaters, as it marks a final chance for freedom before the chaos of the holidays sets in.”

One anonymous user of the site shared their own plans for the day. “I’ve arranged to meet my lover for a long lunch while my partner thinks I’m stuck in back-to-back meetings,” they said. “It’s an escape from the pressures of the season. The holiday frenzy makes it easy to slip away unnoticed – everyone’s so distracted, they barely notice.”

Leoni advises couples to stay alert for subtle changes in behaviour, such as increased secrecy with phones or suddenly packed schedules. “Communication and connection are key to avoiding being on the Naughty List this festive season,” she added.

Christmas Decorations Are the Number One Cause of Arguments For Couples During the Festive Season

The key findings

*  34% of people admitted that decorating disputes are their biggest festive stress, causing the most arguments in the run-up to Christmas.
* Gift-giving (26%) also ranks high in the list of common Christmas tiffs, followed by disputes over finances during the notoriously costly festive season (18%).
* Study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site.

Christmas is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but for many couples, it’s a battlefield – and the war is being waged over tinsel, baubles, and Christmas trees. 

A new poll by extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com has revealed that the number one cause of arguments in the run-up to Christmas is not money or family, but holiday decorations. A staggering 34% of people admitted that decorating disputes are their biggest festive stress, leaving finances and family squabbles trailing behind.

“I never thought hanging fairy lights could ruin a relationship, but here we are,” joked one anonymous respondent. “I wanted a classy white-and-gold theme, but my partner insisted on his tacky, blinking rainbow lights. It turned into a full-blown argument.”

Even the process of decorating together can trigger conflicts. Nearly half of those who argued over decorations (48%) said they fought because one partner didn’t contribute enough to the effort or didn’t take it seriously. 

The second most common culprit for conflict over Christmas is gift-giving. 26% of people admitted that shopping for presents had led to heated arguments. Whether it’s deciding how much to spend, picking the perfect gift, or one partner shouldering all the shopping responsibilities, the process leaves many couples feeling more frazzled than festive.

18% of people say money is the main cause of arguments in the lead up to Christmas. The costs of decorations, parties, and travel quickly add up, and disagreements about budgets put a strain on wallets – and relationships. 

Arguments over cooking at Christmas (11%), and visiting relatives (6%) also featured in the list.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Commenting on the results of the poll, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni, said, “Bickering about decorations is almost as much a Christmas tradition as mince pies and bad cracker jokes. Every couple has that one yearly debate – whether it’s about a garish light-up Santa or how much glitter is too much.”

In many cases, however, there’s a deeper meaning to these ‘tinsel tiffs’, “For some, Christmas decorations are more than just ornaments – they’re tied to personal traditions, childhood memories, and even identity,” Leoni explains. “For many couples, these arguments aren’t just about the decorations themselves but about feeling heard and respected. If one partner’s vision keeps getting dismissed, it can lead to feelings of resentment.”

Results
Most common cause of arguments over the festive period

Christmas decorations – 34%
Gift-giving – 26%
Financial costs – 18%
Christmas cooking – 11%
Visiting relatives – 6%
Other – 5%

“I’m a Bride-to-Be Who Can’t Help Cheating on My Fiancé – Here’s Why I Do It”

* A 38-year-old bride-to-be has been leading a steamy double life after joining the extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com just four months ago.

* Her fiancé, due to marry her next year, is oblivious to her infidelity as he lives and works in a different town.

* She claims the thrill of infidelity is “freeing” and sees it as part of who she truly is.

In a shocking revelation, a seemingly ordinary 38-year-old woman, due to be married next September, has been leading a double life. Engaged and outwardly committed, Chloe* plunged into the depths of extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com just four months ago, and since then, her love life has become anything but ordinary – whilst her fiancé remains entirely in the dark.

It all started with a casual scroll through her news feed. “I never thought I’d be the type to do this,” she confesses. “I joined IllicitEncounters on a whim one Thursday night after seeing an article in my news feed. By midnight, I was hooked. By Saturday, I’d already met someone.”

Her date? A married man from her area, “He told me it was his birthday, his wife was away at a hen do, and he’d rather see me than his friends,” she recalls. Their evening began with flirtation over drinks and ended in the backseat of his wife’s brand-new white Range Rover. “It was electric,” she admits. 

Despite being engaged, she’s unapologetic about her motives. “I have a very high sex drive, my fiancé works away, and I crave the thrill of it all,” she explains. “For me, variety really is the spice of life.”

When her fiancé is out of town during the week, she fills the void with discreet meetups. Since joining IllicitEncounters.com four months ago, she’s been with at least four men, each encounter offering something new and exciting – one lover being a well-known circuit racing driver who regularly features on TV.

Her fiancé is blissfully unaware of her secret escapades, though this isn’t her first brush with infidelity. “Years ago, I used a similar site before we got together, and he knows about this,” she admits. “But he doesn’t know that I’m having an affair now.”

Despite this hidden part of her life, she confesses, “I love my fiancé, but there’s a part of me that can’t give up this lifestyle. It’s thrilling, it’s freeing, and honestly, it feels like me.”

Inflation Fuels Affairs: Data Reveals Link Between Rising Prices and Infidelity

The key findings

* Rising inflation is creating tension in relationships, pushing people to seek emotional or romantic escapes.

* A 22% surge in membership for extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com followed the latest inflation hike announcement – a trend which was also seen when inflation rose in August.

* 65% of new members who joined within 48 hours of the inflation increase cited financial pressure as their main reason for joining.

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

Could rising inflation be driving people to cheat? A leading affairs website has revealed a startling correlation between rising inflation rates and increased membership on their platform. 

Following the latest inflation announcement on Wednesday, IllicitEncounters.com saw a 22% jump in sign-ups in just 48 hours, and this isn’t the first time the platform has experienced such a trend – when inflation rose in August of this year, the website saw a 19% rise in new members.

65% of new members who joined within 48 hours of this week’s news that inflation had risen to 2.3% cited “financial stress” as their primary reason for joining.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

“We’ve come across a clear pattern: each time inflation rises, our membership numbers boom,” says Jessica Leoni, spokesperson for the affairs site. “It’s fascinating to see how economic factors can influence people’s personal relationships. When financial stress increases, it can put a strain on marriages and partnerships, leading some to seek solace or excitement elsewhere.”

Leoni also confirmed that the extramarital dating site has no plans to raise its prices, even as inflation drives up costs elsewhere. “Our members are looking for relief, not more stress. We’ll keep our platform accessible, no matter the economic climate,” she said.

For Emma*, a 34-year-old member of IllicitEncounters.com who joined this week, the most recent inflation report was the final straw. “We’ve been arguing constantly about money,” she admitted. “The bills keep piling up, and we just don’t connect anymore.”

Emma* signed up for the affairs site just hours after hearing about the latest interest rate hike. “I know it’s not the solution, but I needed something that was just for me. Somewhere I could feel alive again without the constant stress,” she said, adding that she’s already begun chatting with several potential matches.

The picturesque town of Cheltenham has become the UK’s surprising new hotbed for infidelity, topping the nation’s rankings with 6.98% of its population reportedly involved in affairs. 

The spike in extramarital activity in Cheltenham – now known as the UK’s adultery capital – has been attributed to what experts are dubbing the “Rivals effect,” after the recent television adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s novel, Rivals, which has sparked intrigue among locals in the Cotswolds.

The annual Infidelity Index statistics released by extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com shows the UK’s cheating hotspots, also revealed that since the release of the Disney+ series in October, sign-ups across the Cotswolds have risen by a whopping 47%. 

Hot on Cheltenham’s heels is the leafy town of Farnham in Surrey, where 5.99% of residents are engaging in affairs, followed by Motherwell in Lanarkshire with a rate of 5.63%. While these towns might appear quaint, it seems behind the scenes, passion is heating up.

This year’s poll also reveals a national rise in infidelity, with affairs up 8% across the UK since the start of the year – the highest annual rise in the 20 years since the affairs site was founded.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Commenting on this year’s Infidelity Index results, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, Jessica Leoni said, “While picturesque towns like Cheltenham may seem serene on the surface, data suggests that love lives here are anything but tranquil.”

Leoni also acknowledges that the latest Disney+ show Rivals might be fueling some extra curiosity this year. “A show like Rivals doesn’t directly cause an affair,” she clarifies, “but its mix of forbidden love and glamorous Cotswold settings adds a layer of fantasy that can influence people’s perspectives on relationships, especially in places like Cheltenham where the show feels close to home.”

* People working within finance, law and healthcare are more likely to have workplace affairs due to long hours, high stress, and after-hours bonding which can blur boundaries.

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

Could your co-worker’s extra-long coffee break be more scandalous than it seems? A new survey conducted by IllicitEncounters.com has found that 38% of 1,800 people polled  admitted to having an affair with a coworker.

The survey revealed that high-pressure environments are breeding grounds for office flings. The finance sector topped the list, with 33% of respondents in the industry admitting to affairs, citing long hours, intense demands, and after-work events as triggers. 

Law wasn’t far behind, with 27% of legal professionals owning up to romantic dalliances. Healthcare followed at 18%, where emotionally charged environments and marathon shifts foster close bonds among medical professionals.

Interestingly, the survey found that 45% of workplace affairs started with casual flirting that escalated, while 27% began during work-related travel.

Investment banker, Ryan*, who took part in the survey described how his affair with a junior associate began: “My job demands 12 to 14-hour days, and you naturally form strong connections with colleagues,” he explained. “We started sharing personal details over late dinners, and one night, the chemistry just took over. I wasn’t looking to cheat, but it felt inevitable.”

Ryan* said he knows the risks involved, but the thrill of secrecy is hard to resist. “There’s a rush in sneaking around the office,” he admitted. “But I also know how catastrophic it could be if anyone found out.”

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, says workplace affairs have always existed but are becoming more prevalent for several reasons.

“Workplaces naturally create opportunities for intimacy,” Leoni explained. “Spending extended hours together, sharing challenges, and having a mutual understanding of work pressures builds a unique bond that can easily blur boundaries.”

She also noted that professional hierarchies often add an element of excitement. “The dynamics of power and authority in the workplace can amplify the allure of an affair,” she said.

REVEALED: 1 in 4 Brits Have Suffered a Sex Injury – But Which Ones Are Most Common?

The key findings

* New research has revealed that a quarter of Brits have suffered injuries during intimate moments, with 8% needing a trip to A&E.

* Top injuries include pulled muscles (41%), bruises (37%), and carpet burns (31%).

* Women are more likely to suffer from sex-related injuries (36%), compared to men (32%).

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

They say love hurts, but for many Brits, that phrase holds a literal – and sometimes painful – truth. 

According to a recent survey of 1,200 people conducted by extra-marital dating site IllicitEncounters.com, one in four Brits has experienced an injury during intimate moments, and for an unlucky 8% of participants, a trip to A&E was needed after a bedroom mishap went too far. 

Pulled muscles topped the list of most common injuries during a passionate romp, with 41% saying over-enthusiastic positioning or awkward angles led to more pain than pleasure. 

Bruises (37%) followed closely behind, with many admitting that late-night passion has sent them crashing into furniture, headboards, and even on to the floor. 

Carpet burns were another top offender for 31% of people polled, proving that while the living room floor might seem like a good idea, rugs are not as forgiving as they look. 

For others, black eyes (21%), back injuries (17%) and cuts (14%) were part of the price of experimentation, often pushing bodies to their limits in the heat of the moment, while an unlucky 7% of people admitted to suffering after having a foreign object stuck in an unfortunate area.

Interestingly, women appear to be more prone to sex injuries than men, with 36% of ladies admitting to having suffered in the name of pleasure, compared to 32% of men.

One anonymous woman who took part in the survey shared, “My partner and I decided to take things to the living room, and let’s just say we didn’t think it through. I ended up with carpet burns so bad on my knees that everyone at work asked why I was walking funny, and I was desperately trying not to blush. Lesson learned: next time, a blanket is a must!”

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, resident sexpert at IllicitEncounters.com, commented on the results of the study saying, “Sex can be adventurous without ending up in A&E. Sometimes, it’s the spontaneous spots – kitchen counters, floors, or staircases – that add a bit of excitement, but a little preparation can go a long way. Grab a pillow or some blanket if you’re venturing off the bed, and don’t be afraid to take breaks! Nothing kills the mood like an injury.”

Leoni also reminds everyone that confidence is key: “Sex injuries often happen when you’re overreaching – literally. Stick to what feels comfortable and enjoy the fun without the fuss. Remember, it’s not just about the moves; it’s about enjoying the moment!”
