He’s not Exercising, He’s having an Affair!

What the numbers show

* Lockdown ease sends lustful loverats to cheat
* Exercise top affair alibi for men and women, with running in top place
* Second place excuse to cheat for women is sunbathing as the UK enters a heatwave
* Survey conducted by IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s largest extramarital dating site

IllicitEncounters.com surveyed 240 of its members who have met up with their mistress or histress in the last week.

With lockdown restrictions having been marginally eased in the UK, the majority of men and women who are having affairs during lockdown are using exercise as an excuse to meet up.

A whopping 78% of men and 54% of women have said they are out exercising in the last week when actually they’ve been cheating.

Men are most likely to say they are going for a run (24%), followed by playing tennis (16%).

Top cheating excuse for women is going for a walk (20%).

The second highest rated excuse for women is sunbathing (15%) – coinciding with the recent heatwave in the UK. With forecasts predicted to go up to a scorching 26C in some parts of London today, this excuse is likely to continue to rise as the weather gets hotter.

Some of the excuses were gender specific.

Only men cite playing tennis (16%), going for a drive (11%), playing golf (9%), needing to cool off after an argument (3%) and dropping by the office (2%) as an excuse to cheat in the last week.

Whereas only women cite sunbathing (15%), needing a break from the kids (12%), yoga (7%), grocery shopping (6%), and visiting a garden centre (4%) as an excuse.

Going for a run comes in as the top excuse with 19% for both genders combined.

Dave, a member using IllicitEncounters.com said “It isn’t that unusual for me to be doing outdoor sports, I’ve always been a keen runner and a avid cyclist, leaving the house for a few hours a day sporting lycra is very ordinary, so exercise for me is the perfect excuse to cheat.”

Monika, a member using IllicitEncounters.com said “Oh come on, we’re all adults here. Seeing your lover during lockdown is no different to meeting up with a friend and socially distancing. I take my border collie for a walk and meet my other man in the park, so sue me. The weather has been so nice recently, I’ve just been telling my hubby I’m out sunbathing, the tan lines make it easy to prove.”

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

IllicitEncounters.com sex and relationships expert Jessica Leoni said “If people choose to meet their lovers during lockdown it is essential they adhere to social distancing rules. Let’s keep the exercise alive, and leave the sexercise till life returns to normal.

People who are in unhappy marriages often report feeling lonely. Lockdown has made these people feel even more isolated and alone. It’s expected that they would try and see each other, to fill that emotional void, and satisfy a basic social need of love and belonging.

Many people who are cheating are living a discreet double life, so in order to see their lover they need to come up with a justifiable reason. I’m not surprised exercise is the primary excuse to cheat for both genders, it’s one of the main reasons we are allowed to venture out during lockdown.”

More Females Cheating than Ever

* 20% increase in female love cheats

What the numbers show

* Biggest spike in 35-45 year old love rats

* Record breaking female sign ups to married dating website IllicitEncounters.com
Since summer 2018 there has been a shocking 20% increase of married women choosing to find sexual liaisons online with men that are not their husbands.

Over the past year lllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading extra-marital affairs site, has seen a huge increase of women signing up to their website – with data analyses predicting 2019 to break female sign up records.

The research also indicated that the biggest spike of women joining was in the age category of 35-45 years old – accounting for more than half of the increase in wedded women seeking affairs.

The study also polled 800 of its new female members on IllicitEncounters.com about what their reasons were for wanting to cheat on their partner and found that 31% of females felt they needed an adventure, and 23% were seeking an affair because they were unwilling or unable to have sex with their spouse.

Although the divorce rate in the UK is falling, recent studies reveal that infidelity is on the rise.  Historically men are more likely to cheat than women. However, IllicitEncounters.com has found that attitudes towards adultery are changing.

Experts put this down to the rise in acceptance of female empowerment and equality. TV programs such as ITV’s Love Island actively promote parity between male and female contestants to seek as many sexual liaisons as they wish in their search for a relationship. The popularity of such programmes could potentially be a catalyst towards the 20% increase of woman cheating since last summer.

Joanna a female member using IllicitEncounters.com said ‘I’m cheating because I simply require more sex than my husband is willing to provide, and I feel deprived. Honestly, married life is just the process isn’t it? School, career, husband, house, baby – it’s a checklist. There are other boxes that I need ticked, and sex is one of them – and if sex isn’t on the agenda with my husband, I will look for it somewhere else.’

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

Jessica Leoni, relationship expert from IllicitEncounters.com said ‘More woman cheat because they can. Once you get a taste for forbidden fruit, that’s all you’ll want from the menu.

We’re teased left right and centre with sex exposure from the media, I know for one that Love Island’s got plenty of my female friends hot under the collar.

It’s exciting isn’t it? All the devilish debauchery! Women are beginning to realise they deserve more, and our female comrades are right beside us to help nurture and encourage our illicit fantasies. The data clearly reveals that female adulterers are more like explorers on the hunt for a new adventure when married life becomes stale.

I think it’s great that ladies are having this shift in consciousness and exploring their sexuality – as Lou Reed once sung, “hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”’

 

Below are the top six reasons given by women for cheating on their partner:

1.       In need of an adventure 31%
2.       Unwilling or unable to have sex with spouse 23%
3.       I don’t want to leave my partner 18%
4.       I don’t feel appreciated at home 12%
5.       Seeking emotional connection 9%
6.       Other 7%

Brace yourself for the sexiest day of the year tomorrow (Saturday, July 27) 

 

What the numbers show

* More couples will be having sex between 10pm-11pm tomorrow than any other time in 2019

* Cheating also peaks in July, according to the analysis of Britain’s bedroom habits by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating site for married people 

 

Researchers have pinpointed tomorrow (Saturday, July 27th) as the sexiest day of 2019.

From 10pm to 11pm sexual activity will peak in the UK with more couples having sex than any other time of the year. 

Analysis of Britons’ bedroom habits shows the conditions are perfect for passion due to the combination of the time, day, date and month.

Sexual activity in the UK peaks in the summer months every year – with the most sex in July, followed by August and June.

That is because the sun is an aphrodisiac and we naturally feel happier and more positive because the weather is warmer and we wear fewer clothes.

Saturday is by far the most popular day of the week for couples to have sex, followed by Fridays and Sundays.

And sex always peaks on the last Saturday of the month because it follows the most popular payday for companies which is the last Friday.

We are more likely to go out and celebrate with our partners with money in our pockets – and sex typically follows a night out together.

The most popular time for couples to have sex is between 10pm and 11pm at night. 

This week is also the most popular for holidays in the UK and three-quarters of couples (74%) say they have sex more frequently when they are away.

The analysis of Britain’s bedroom habits was carried out by IllicitEncounters.com, the dating site for married people.

It looked at the most common times to have sex of 2,000 people, split evenly amongst the sexes.

The results also showed that July was one of the most popular months for cheating because adultery levels always rise in the summer months when more people are socialising.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

IllicitEncounters.com sex and relationship expert Jessica Leoni said: “Get ready for Sexy Saturday – when we will be having more sex than any other day in 2019.

“There is a perfect combination of elements this weekend that will see couples getting it on more than any other time of the year.

“Whether people are enjoying that special time with their partner or an illicit lover, we should all be having a great time this weekend.”

More than 10,000 new people have signed up to start affairs with IllicitEncounters.com since the start of the year.

Women can join for free while men pay a monthly subscription.

The average male adulterer is a BMW driving golf fan working in finance and living in the South East, earning £60,000 a year.

A third of people have cheated on a partner at Christmas – and the works party is where an affair is most likely to start, according to a new survey

* Two-thirds said they were unfaithful because they had drunk alcohol and things had gone too far;
* Christmas is the peak period of the year for cheating – ahead of the summer holidays and New Year;
* Less than third of cheats (32%) said they had regretted their fling – suggesting they were likely to do it again;
* 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

A third of people have cheated on a partner at Christmas, according to a new survey.

It is the most popular time of the year for a new affair to start ahead of the summer holidays and the New Year.

The office Christmas party is the most likely place for a fling to happen with more than half of respondents (57%) who had been unfaithful saying it was with a work colleague.

Two-thirds of cheats (68%) said they were unfaithful because they had drunk alcohol and things had gone too far as a result.

In just over half of cases (54%), the affair did not extend beyond the works party but 46% carried on seeing their colleague after the festive season.

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


Slightly more women (35%) than men (31%) have betrayed a partner at Christmas time.

The survey found that 85% of people felt more passionate in the run-up to Christmas because they were excited by the holidays and they were partying more with friends and colleagues.

Most affairs happened in the three week period between December 3rd and Christmas Eve – the key period for works parties before the holidays start and people stay at home with their families.

Three-quarters of people (74%) who cheated with a work colleague admitted flirting with them in the run-up to the party.

Seven out of ten cheats (71%) concealed the affair from their colleagues but 29% made no secret of the fact that they had been unfaithful – mainly because they were drunk.

Less than a third of cheats (32%) said they had regretted their fling – suggesting they were likely to do it again.

Only one in ten Christmas flings (11%) are discovered by the betrayed partner – so nearly all cheats get away with their indiscretion.

Expert comment from Jessica Leoni

IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said: “Beware of the Christmas party season because it is a hotbed for affairs.”

“Sexual tensions which have been bubbling up over the course of the working year finally explode due to drink and the opportunity to grab a kiss under the mistletoe.”

“The good news for cheats is that they are very unlikely to get caught out if they start an affair at this time of year, though they are advised not to flaunt their new love in front of their colleagues.”

More than 1 million people have registered with IllicitEncounters.com since it started – and thousands of people begin new affairs each week. The peak time for new registrations is the first two weeks of January when disgruntled spouses return to work after the holidays realising their relationship is unfulfilling and seek someone new.

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.”
