Poll Revealed! Most Popular Places to go to Meet a Cheat

The key findings

  • Survey of 1000 members of IllicitEncounters.com has revealed:
  • Nearly 1 in 3 users polled have gone to the gym to find a partner to cheat with.
  • 26% have found an extramarital relationship through work social events.
  • Of members who responded, 17% have made connections through social media platforms.
  • More cheaters meet in hobby clubs than bars and pubs

Could a newfound interest in fitness be a sign that your significant other is going to cheat on you? A recent survey of 1000 members of IllicitEncounters.com, the U.K’s leading dating website for married people, has revealed the top places where cheaters go to find potential partners to have an affair with.

What the numbers show

When asked how they go about meeting people to cheat with, shockingly almost a third of respondents chose the gym as their preferred place to seek an extramarital companion. This makes the gym the most popular place other than IllicitEncounters.com to meet an extramarital companion. The poll also asked how long the affair would typically last, those who prefer to find their fling in the gym also had shorter relationships.

The other place that polled highly is work social events such as leaving drinks, office parties, and other informal gatherings with 26% looking to get lucky with a colleague. Affairs that got their start at the office party also had a greater longevity.

Social media platforms like Facebook made up 17% of the polling result. With all the technology at our fingertips connecting and reconnecting is easier than ever, it is perfect for touching base with an old flame. Pubs, bars, and hobby clubs also made the list, the latter catering for more niche sections of the population. One user indicated under ‘Other’ that she would meet married men through her job as an animal psychic.

Top places to meet a cheat

  1. The gym (30%)
  2. Work social events (26%)
  3. Social Media (17%)
  4. Hobby Clubs (12%)
  5. Other (9%)
  6. Pubs/Bars (6%)

Hannah, 41, from Portsmouth said, “I met the first man I ever had an affair with at the gym. Having a gym membership also makes it really easy to make time for my lover, it’s the perfect excuse to steal an afternoon for an intense ‘workout session’.”

Christian Grant, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com explained:

“Gyms today have become very versatile social spaces, the high end gyms are all kitted with cafes where you can grab a fresh brewed coffee, a glass or two of wine, and even a healthy bite to eat. It’s also increasingly common for gyms to have more than just weights and treadmills at their disposal. Now you can unwind in a steam room, sit in a sauna, or enjoy a relaxing soak in a hot tub.”

“With the continued momentum of the health conscious movement, more people than ever are joining up to gyms. If you want to forgo the discretion guaranteed by using IllicitEncounters.com, a gym membership is the way to go, unless your pet needs a psychic in which case I may know someone”

How to have a really smart sex live – a third of couples have filmed themselves having sex on their phones, according to a new survey

* 52% of us swap steamy pictures with our partners as a form of foreplay;
* Three-quarters of those surveyed said they had answered their phone while engaged in sex;
* People cheating on their partners are more likely to engage in phone sex with lovers than their regular spouse;
* The results were revealed in a new survey of 1,000 people showing how smartphones are impacting on our sex lives by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people

What the numbers show

A third of couples have filmed themselves having a sex on their phones, according to a new survey.

And more than half of couples (52%) have exchanged steamy pictures of each other as a form of foreplay.

Three-quarters of those surveyed said they have used their phone to enhance their sex lives either by making images or viewing erotic footage.

More than a quarter of respondents had answered their phone while engaged in sex.

And just less than a fifth (18%) had made a call while getting amorous.

A fifth have stripped off or enjoyed sex play while talking to their partner on Facetime.

The results were revealed in a new survey of 1,000 people showing how smartphones are impacting on our sex lives by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people.

It found that people having affairs were even more likely to use their phones for sex.

Four out of ten people cheating on their partners have filmed themselves having sex with their lovers.

And six out of ten have swapped erotic images.

The survey found that people being unfaithful were more likely to indulge in sex play on their phones with their lover than they would with their regular spouse.

Two-thirds of respondents said that their smartphones had made it easier for them to having an affair because of the opportunities it presented to meet new partners and interact with them behind the backs of their partners.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni


IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said:

“What this new research shows is that smartphones are fundamentally changing our sex lives. We are using them to spice up sex, filming home-made erotic movies and to meet new people or cheat on our existing partners.”

“It’s an exciting development and is allowing lots of people stuck in stifling relationships to branch out and inject added excitement into their lives.”

Holiday romances have the quickest ‘conversion rate’ on the dating scene with sex happening on the second date – twice as fast as if the couple meet at home, according to a new survey

* The second fastest conversion rate is if you meet a potential partner in a nightclub or bar – with sex happening after 2.2 dates;
* The third fastest way of having sex is by meeting someone on a dating website or app – with relationships consummated after 2.5 dates;
* The slowest conversion rate was an office romance at 7 dates because of fears over career disruption;
* The results are from a new survey of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people

What the numbers show

Couples go on an average of four dates before sleeping together – but the quickest ‘conversion rate’ for sex is when you meet someone on holiday, according to a new survey.

Holiday-makers have sex on average on their second date – twice as fast as if they met each other at home.

 

The second fastest conversion rate is if you meet a potential partner in a nightclub or bar – with sex happening after 2.2 dates.


The third fastest way of having sex is by meeting someone on a dating website or app – with relationships consummated after 2.5 dates.


These are the most effective ways of speed-tracking the famous ‘three-date rule’ which says that is the optimum time you should wait to have sex to boost your chances of the relationship lasting.

By far the worst sex conversion rate was if you meet someone at work – with sex not occurring until the seventh date on average. The delay here is because of couples’ reluctance to get involved with someone in the workplace in case of career complications.

The results were revealed in a new survey of 1,000 people by the IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people. It found that the average number of dates before sex in all types of dating was four. The only dating method which accorded with the ‘three-date rule’ was when a couple had been set up by friends.

Blind dates have the fourth quickest conversion rate at 3.3 dates, followed by connecting with someone on social media (3.5 dates) in fifth. Sixth place was a chance encounter such as bumping into a stranger on a bus or train (5 dates) and in seventh was meeting a partner through a hobby (5.5 dates).

The gym had the second worst sex conversion rate at 6 dates in ninth place, just behind office romances.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said:

“We have just had the hottest summer in more than 40 years and that has been reflected on the dating scene. People have a real ‘seize the moment’ attitude when they are away and they commit sexually far quicker than they would at home because they fear they may never get another chance to sleep with that person. Alcohol obviously boosts conversion rates for people who are meeting in nightclubs or bars.”

“Dating websites and apps are great to way to connect with people quickly. They break the three-date rule because both parties have made a deliberate decision to seek a new partner and that leads to inevitable short-cuts in the route to the bedroom.”

“Lots of people are also on dating sites purely to have casual sex which is why the conversion rate is so high.”


How quickly will you have sex on the dating scene

1. Holiday romance – 2 dates

2. Meeting in a nightclub or bar – 2.2 dates

3. Dating website or app – 2.5 dates

4. Set up by friends – 3 dates

5. Blind date – 3.3 dates

6. Connecting with someone on social media – 4 dates

7. A chance encounter – 5 dates

8. Meeting through a hobby 5.5 dates

9. The gym – 6 dates

10. Meeting your partner at work – 7 dates

Cheating Soars as Students Fly The Nest

The key findings

  • Married-dating website IllicitEncounters.com registrations up by 30% year on year
  • Survey shows over 50% of members experiencing empty nest syndrome.
  • Housewives lead the signup surge

Business is booming as the back to school period proves once again to be one of the busiest seasons for adulterers according to the UK’s leading dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com

What the numbers show

Signups at IllicitEncounters.com have increased by 30% against the same period last year.

Good news for the men, IllicitEncounters.com male members reap the benefits of the empty nest, hungry housewife surge as female users spike on the site. Stay at home mums have taken the lead from teachers who top the summer sign-up period. This has been the best year by far on record.

Empty nest syndrome is the term used to describe feeling of sadness parents have when their children leave home, and the latest survey of 2000 members reveals 53% of users polled have experienced empty nest syndrome. Of all members polled roughly 20% claim it is what initially drove them to being unfaithful. That is just over a quarter of a million genuine users. We’ve included the top 5 Cities where signups have gone up the most.

Top 5 Cities by signup

  1. Oxford– topping the Infidelity Index for 2018 it’s no surprise that Oxford has made the top of the list for signup as well.
  2. Gloucester– picturesque, rural, and saucy. Certainly one to watch for the 2019 Infidelity Index.
  3. London– generally low on the index, but with a population of just over 8 million people it is a city with volume on its side.
  4. Nottingham– the heart of England wants what the heart of England wants! When Robin Hood is away, Maid Marion will play.
  5. Plymouth– the Mayflower has set sail for the new world, whatever shall the wives left behind do with themselves? Sign up to IllicitEncounters.com apparently.

Local new member Janice, 55 told us: “I was sitting in my car in the drive outside my house after spending a frantic weekend moving my youngest son to his new accommodation for uni, dreading going inside. I realised that after 30 years of raising my children  that my husband and I were essentially comfortable strangers, and that for the better part of a decade there had been no physical intimacy between us. I was a little apprehensive about signing up to IllicitEncounters but what I found was an open and caring community of people who are going through exactly the same thing as me. I went on a date for the first time in years, and felt desirable, it was like being a teenager again.”

IllicitEncounters.com spokesperson Christian Grant explains:

“This period is a little like a passing of the torch from the teachers who had their summer of love to the housewives who now find themselves with considerably less responsibility and a well earned amount of free time.”

“Empty nest syndrome is widely understood and well documented. Most married couples find that once the frantic grind of raising children and maintaining a home is over the only thing they have in common is a mortgage and newfound energy, with no outlet.”

“The real surprise for us has been the unexpected increase in signups, our expectations have been thoroughly exceeded which is great for us, and great for our members.”

New Poll Reveals the Real Reasons Women Cheat

The key findings

  • Results are from a new survey of 2,000 female adulterers by IllicitEncounters.com
  • The majority of women polled are seeking an adventure, with 41% stating that is the sole reason they stray from their marriages.
  • Lack of sex at home ranked second with 34% of respondents claiming they had no physical relationship with their husbands.
  • 19% of the women polled stated that they feel unappreciated at home.
  • 98% of women having an affair do not want to leave their partner.
  • One third of women polled have no physical relationship at home.

Have you ever been curious to know what could lead your lady astray? More women than ever are cheating, or willing to admit that they are cheating. Why the sudden shift in attitude toward infidelity?

What the numbers show

The summer poll of 2,000 women who use IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people has given an insight into some of the key factors and reasons why women cheat.

Is your wife living the same routine day in and day out? You could be complicit in creating the perfect environment to push her into a secret lovers arms. Of the responders almost half (41%) of the women polled were eager to break their routine and have an exciting extramarital adventure.

The curse of bedroom boredom, one in three reported having no physical relationship at home, and long for physical intimacy. This extends beyond just sex, the survey found that typically, women who fell into this category indicated in their profiles a desire for nonsexual physical fulfilment as well, for example cuddling and holding hands.

Doing the dishes once a week isn’t going to cut it anymore, just under a fifth (19%) of women feel unappreciated at home.

Most shocking was the revelation that  98% of the women indicated that they did not wish to leave their partner, with many of them claiming to have otherwise good relationships with their husbands!

Top reasons women cheat – ranked

  1. I want some adventure in my life (41%)
  2. I have no physical relationship at home (34%)
  3. I don’t feel appreciated at home (19%)
  4. I want to leave my partner (2%)
  5. I don’t want a full time relationship (2%)
  6. I was living with a gay husband (1%)
  7. My husband is disabled (1%)

Experienced adulteress Samantha James (56) told us: “After having kids, and making a home, and doing all the things I was supposed to do, I felt stagnant, living as though I was already dead. I needed something that was just for me, new and exciting and that’s what I got from my first affair, and every one after.”

Illicit Encounters spokesperson Christian Grant explains:

“The data we’ve seen from this poll has been very consistent, in today’s age women are feeling more entitled to behaviour that has long been accepted as a male prerogative.”

“ What has been very surprising is how many women say they are still very much in love with their husbands, but their needs in some way or another are not being met in their marriage”

“Affairs are no longer viewed as some seedy transgression, but as a creative act, a protest against what for many women is an oppressive and suffocating institution.”

Radio Phwoar! Love cheats’ favourite radio station is also the Prime Minister’s – Radio 4, according to a new survey

* 25% of adulterers picked the posh BBC channel as their preferred station and the Today programme as their top show;
* Genteel Classic FM was the second most popular station with cheats and BBC Radio 5 was third;
* Radio 2 was the station whose audience is most likely to be faithful;
* Results are from a new survey of 2,000 adulterers by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people

What the numbers show

Love cheats’ favourite radio station is Radio 4, according to a new survey.

A quarter of adulterers (25%) chose the posh BBC channel as their preferred station and the Today programme was their top show.

In second place was genteel Classic FM, chosen by 14% of respondents, and Radio 5 was third (12%).

Radio 2 was the national station whose audience is most likely to be faithful to their partners – chosen by just 4% of those polled.

The results are from a new survey 2,000 adulterers by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people.


Like most of the Cabinet, Prime Minister Theresa May wakes up to Radio 4’s influential Today programme, which has an audience of 6.8 million listeners daily, down 800,000 in the last year.


The fourth most popular radio station for cheats was Heart, chosen by 10% of respondents, and Smooth was fifth (9%).

Radio 2 is the UK’s most popular radio station with Chris Evans’ Radio 2 breakfast show its top show with 9 million listeners.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni


IllicitEncounters.com Christian Grant said:

“This new research shows that it is the most rich, powerful and influential people in the UK who are most likely to cheat. Lots of those people waking up to the Today programme are doing it in bed with their lover rather than their spouse. Classic FM also has an affluent, middle aged audience which explains why it featured so highly in the survey.”

“Radio 2 is the home of Steve Wright’s Sunday Love Songs – which celebrates marriage like no other show. It has a very middle-of-the-road audience who seem to be more happy with their lot and are less inclined to stray.”

 

Top 10 radio stations for love cheats

1. Radio 4 (25%)

2. Classic FM (14%)

3. Radio 5 (12%)

4. Heart (10%)

5. Smooth (9%)

6. Magic (8%)

7. Capital (7%)

8. Radio 1 (6%)

9. Virgin (5%)

10. Radio 2 (4%)

 

I love combining sex with Radio 4’s Today show in the mornings, according to serial mistress Gweneth Lee

Serial mistress Gweneth Lee, 46, is one of the 25% of adulterers in the survey who chose Radio 4 as her favourite station and the Today programme as her top show.

Lee, a business consultant from Chelsea, West London, who has had affairs with more than 100 married men through the dating site IllicitEncounters.com, said:

“Like most members of the business and political communities, I like to get up to the Today programme just to get a grip on what is happening in the news. I often do this when I have been on a date with one of my married lovers and we are waking up in a hotel room. The best time for sex is during the mega dull Thought For The Day just before the 8am news.  That way, you are done and dusted before the main political interview of the day at 8.10am.”

“It’s a great way to start the day. The sex gives you lots of zip and Radio 4 ensures you are totally on top of the news.”

Two-thirds of people having affairs carry on having sex with their regular partners, according to a new survey

* Four in ten cheats (41%) say they have MORE sex with their spouses because the excitement of the affair heightens their sex drive;
* 74% of adulterers said the sex was better with their lover than their spouse;
* The results are from a new survey of 1,000 adulterers by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people

What the numbers show

Two-thirds of people having affairs carry on having sex with their regular partners, according to a new survey.

Four in ten cheats (41%) say they make love to their spouses more often because the excitement of the affairs heightens their sex drive.

A third (33%) were keen to maintain the regular sexual routine at home so as not to raise suspicion.

Only a fifth of adulterers (22%) tell their lovers that they are continuing to have sex at home.

The results are revealed in a new survey of 1,000 adulterers by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating site for married people.

It found that 64% of adulterers kept up the same sexual routine with their partners at home.

A fifth (21%) had less sex with their spouses because of the affair, but only 15% abstained from sex at home altogether.

Of those 15%, most had stopped having sex with their spouses even before the affair had started.

Women are more likely than men to maintain sexual relations with their spouse to cover up their cheating.

Seven out of ten women (69%) continue to have sex with their husbands while cheating.

Slightly fewer men (63%) still make love to their wives while also sleeping with their lover.  

Three-quarters of respondents (74%) said that sex with their lover was better than with their regular partner.

And two-thirds (62%) said they tried more adventurous sex with their lovers when they went to bed.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni


IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said:
“What this new research shows is that people start having affairs to add some excitement to their lives. They are almost certainly still having sex with their spouses but it has become a little dull and routine. The excitement of the affairs makes them betters lovers – not just with the person they are cheating with but with their spouse at home.”

“An affair can actually reinvigorate a marriage by making people reassess their behaviour and address long-standing issues with their partners.”

Three strikes and you’re out – love cheats typically have three affairs before they are caught out by their partners, according to a new survey

What the numbers show

* It takes an average of four years for adultery to be exposed – most commonly through stray phone messages;

* 86% of people who cheat on their spouses after marriage have already slept with another love before tying the knot;

* Results are from a new survey of 1,000 adulterers by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people

Most love cheats have three affairs before their cheating is discovered by their partners, according to a new survey.

And it takes an average of four years for their adultery to be exposed – most commonly through their partner reading their phone messages.

The vast majority of people (86%) who cheat on their spouses after marriage have already slept with another lover before tying the knot.

The results are from a new survey of 1,000 adulterers by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people.

It discovered clear patterns of behaviour suggesting that if a person is unfaithful early on in a relationship they will continue to seek affairs after marriage.

Two-thirds of adulterers (63%) have been caught out by their partners at some point in their marriage.

But this lead to the break-up of the relationship in only 15% of cases.

Most people are prepared to forgive one sexual liaison if other elements of their relationship with their partner are strong.

Cheats tend to be extremely careful not to get caught with a lover straight after they have tied the knot.

Just one in 10 adulterers (11%) were caught during their first affair after matrimony and one in eight (12%) during their second.

The most common time for an affair to be exposed was during the third affair with one in five (21%) saying this was when they were caught out.

The main reason was that adulterers tend to get more brazen the longer they get away with cheating and they are not as careful at covering their tracks.

The most common ways cheats are caught out are – partner reading phone messages (39%), partner reading emails (22%), being caught lying about their whereabouts (20%), being spotted out with a lover (14%), being informed on by a family friend (5%).

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said: “What this new research shows is that a leopard never changes their spots.

“If your partner is unfaithful to you before tying the knot that pattern of cheating will continue after matrimony.

“Cheats need to be extra careful around the time of their third affair because this is when they are most likely to get caught – probably because they have got over-confident and give too many clues away to their partner who will be getting suspicious.

“It is interesting that an affair leads to a break-up in only 15% of cases.

“Most people are prepared to forgive an affair if the fundamentals of a relationship are strong and we have a lot of members at IllicitEncounters.com who have permission to have affairs because their partner has gone off sex.

“As a nation, we are becoming a lot more like the French who often see an extra-marital affair not as a reason for divorce but the natural reaction to a relationship going stale.”

Every week, around 20,000 people in the UK are having affairs on IllicitEncounters.com.

More than one million people have registered with the site since it started in 2003 and the highest proportion of members are wealthy people in London and the Home Counties.

Top 5 ways affairs are discovered

1 Phone messages to lover discovered by partner (39%)

2 Emails to lover discovered by partner (22%)

3 Caught lying about whereabouts (20%)

4 Being spotted out with lover 14%)

5 informed on by friend of partner (5%)

A Hidden Marital Rule Exists That Allows You to Cheat Once During Your Marriage

The key findings

  • If you’ve cheated in your marriage, it looks like you may be alright after all
  • A hidden rule exists that allows someone to cheat once during their marriage
  • The rule was discovered by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, and confirmed by Reverend Nicolas Doherty
  • Reverend Doherty says that the rule was introduced by the Church of England in 2011, but was kept hidden from the public to avoid encouraging adultery

Struggling with the guilt that comes with adultery? Luckily for you, it seems that all is forgiven in the eyes of God.

What the numbers show

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, can reveal that there is, in fact, a rule in one’s marriage, set by the Church of England,  that allows you to cheat, albeit only once.

The rule states as follows:

‘The sin of adultery is permissible once during one’s marriage, with the person who has committed the act not needed to ask Him for pardon or forgiveness.

‘Multiple transgressions, however, are deemed unacceptable in His eyes and through the eyes of the Church.’

Upon discovering this, IllicitEncounters.com sought to reach out to the Church of England for clarification.

The rule was passed in 2011 by the General Synod – the legislative body of the Church of England – and parliament.

Reverend Nicolas Doherty, an ordained minister for over 25 years, says that the introduction of the rule was purposely kept hidden from the public eye, as the Church fears that public knowledge of said rule would encourage and result in an increase in infidelity.

He says:

“The Church has begrudgingly loosened its hardened stance on infidelity, especially in the last few decades. While we by no means encourage it, there has been a slow acceptance of the ubiquity of adultery.

“This Church Measure, therefore, was introduced by the General Synod, pardoning those who are found guilty of infidelity once during their marriage.

“While a married couple will only swear by their marital vows and Declarations under the eyes of God, with no mention of the Measure, it is considered to be applicable to all marriages since its introduction in 2011.”

Britain’s most prolific mistress Gweneth Lee has told how she is juggling three affairs with married men for Valentine’s Day.

The 47-year-old beauty is bedding an international jeweller, a high-flying stockbroker and a powerful banker at the same time.

She will spend different nights with all three over the next two weeks in the build-up to the most romantic day of the year.

But she will be all alone on February 14th because her three lovers will be with their wives.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Business consultant Gweneth, of Chelsea, West London, said: “Valentine’s is the best time of year to be a mistress because you are lavished with sex and presents.

“Married men may make a fuss of their wives on February 14th but they spend a lot more money on their mistresses.

“In my experience the gift to the mistress tends to cost double whatever they give to the wife, and it is far sexier.

“I’ve been a wife on Valentine’s Day, when I was married to my late oil executive husband, and all I can say is that being a mistress is a lot more fun.”

All three of Gweneth’s lovers are aware that she is seeing them on an ‘non-exclusive’ basis and that they will be sharing her with other married men in the run-up to Valentine’s.

It means she has been busy juggling her diary to make sure that her lovers get the attention they deserve.

She met all three men on IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people.

It attracts a wealthy clientele and the average annual income of male members is £52,000 – around double the national average.

It boasts many high-flying multi-millionaires in its client base.

Affair number 1 – the international jeweller

Gweneth said: “This will probably be the most fun of the three dates because my lover is a real party animal.

“But before we crack open the champagne we’ll head off to Bond Street in London for a shopping trip.

“He is an international jeweller with quite exquisite taste and he obviously has the connections to pick the very finest pieces at the very best prices. I have been seeing him on and off for a few years and in the past he has bought me the most beautiful pearls and a gorgeous necklace from Tiffany. I cannot wait to see what we will choose this year.

“After that, it will be back to one of his favourite hotels – Claridge’s or the Savoy. He is in London about six times a year and I am his girl in the capital. I am pretty sure that he has my equivalents in Paris, Milan, New York and some of the other great capitals of the world where he travels on business.

“He is in his 50s and enjoys a good sex life with his wife. But he is very, very highly sexed and enjoys having discreet affairs when he is away on business. I’ve booked him in for early February – my first Valentine’s treat!”

Affair number 2 – the high-flying stockbroker

Gweneth said: “He is in his 40s and lives in the Home Counties with his wife and three children. The kids are all still at school and his wife’s energies go into bringing them up – leaving little time for passion with her husband. That is where I come in.

“He stays at their flat in the City around three times a week. He loves lingerie so I am looking forward to lots of beautiful Agent Provocateur as a present. The one condition being that I wear every piece while we enjoy oysters, champagne and lots of delicious strawberries. It is going to be an exhausting night.”

Affair number 3 – the powerful banker

Gweneth said: “I don’t know what it is about the City and sex but most of my married lovers have worked around the Square Mile.

“My third Valentine’s lover is the kinkiest of the lot. He is like my very own Christian Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey and likes to set up his own Red Room of Pain just for me with all sorts of floggers, spankers and riding crops. You won’t be surprised to learn that one of his weekend hobbies is hunting. He is so highly sexed that our little trysts often start in the restaurant before we head back to the hotel. He has been in the Mile High Club with several different women and is always look at ways to spice up his high-pressured life.

“He is also married with teenage children. He is devoted to his wife but no woman would be able to keep up with his sex drive. He sees me and several other women in London. We know that we are never going to keep him on an exclusive basis because he is absolutely gorgeous, easily the best-looking of my three lovers.”

Gweneth feels no guilt over her affairs – and says she is helping to keep their marriages together.

She explained: “The sad truth is that monogamy is unnatural. Who decided that it was good idea to commit to one person in your 20s or 30s and then stay with them for the next 50 years? Where is the fun in that? Inevitably the sex is going to go stale.

“Go out on Valentine’s night and you will see thousands of couples staring at each other vacantly over dinner. They have very little in common, sex has become a routine and they have stayed together for the sake of the kids or because it is too expensive to divorce.

“They could get a new lease of life by signing up to a site like IllicitEncounters.com, where like-minded married people can date each other, safe in the knowledge that they will have some fun but no one is going to get hurt and start demanding a divorce.”

llicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said Gweneth was typical of the women on the site which has a 45-55 female/male split.

He said that Valentine’s was one of the busiest times of the year for IllicitEncounters.com.

“Valentine’s may be the most romantic day of the year but it can also brutally expose the weaknesses in a relationship and the lack of sex, intimacy and fun,” he said.

“Lots of people use Valentine’s to reassess their lives and make a decisive change by signing up to a site like ours.

“We are an outlet for men and women who would have an affair whether we were there or not. In coming to us, they can be assured of meeting a like-minded partner seeking some added excitement in their life who doesn’t want to upset things at home.”

Every week, around 20,000 people in the UK are having affairs on IllicitEncounters.com.

More than one million people have registered with the site since it started in 2003 and the highest proportion of members are wealthy people in London and the Home Counties.
