On National Kissing Day (July 6th) a new study reveals that 37% of married couples haven’t passionately kissed in the last 3 Months

A new study by the UK’s leading married dating site IllicitEncounters.com has revealed that a staggering amount of married couples haven’t kissed in the last 3 months. National Kissing Day doesn’t seem to hold much passion for the 6% of members who further admitted that they haven’t passionately kissed their partner in the last 12 Months.

The survey of 2,000 married men and women revealed a startling trend of married couples going without a loving embrace for long periods of time as 30% admitted that they wouldn’t want to kiss their partner every week. ‘You’ve lost the loving feeling’ for sure!

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor commented: “Kissing is a tender and important part of a loving relationship and when it disappears from a marriage, you can find yourself feeling unattractive or disconnected from your partner. A passionate embrace isn’t just fun and enjoyable; it is psychologically good for you too as kissing releases endorphins, which make you feel happy. It can also help reduce stress and if that isn’t convincing enough, you should have a good snog to burns calories as research has shown that kissing burns around 2 to 3 calories per minute.”

When was the last time you shared a passionate kiss with your partner?

Today: 12%

Couple of days ago: 20%

Week ago: 17%

Couple of weeks ago: 14%

Month ago: 13%

3 Months ago: 10%

6 Months ago: 8%

Over a year ago: 6%

How often would you like to passionately kiss your partner?

More than once a day: 17%

Every day: 23%

Every 2-3 days: 16%

Once a week: 14%

Once a month: 10%

Once every few months: 9%

Once in 6 months: 7%

Once a year: 3%

Less: 1%

Steve, a member of Illicitencounters.com from Lincoln commented: “I don’t really kiss my wife that often anymore. We have been married for 13 years and I am no longer attracted to her, I still love her but our relationship is more like brother and sister. I miss kissing and being passionate a lot and I have met a few women who are in the same situation – none of us are looking to leave our partners but I don’t want to go the rest of my life never kissing passionately again.”

So if you are one of the 37% of people who hasn’t been kissed in the last 3 months or you are married to one of the 30% of people who want to kiss less than once a week, then maybe you should look to find another person to lock lips with, asap.

How do they do it? Women reveal the sexiest professions – but high profile womanizing professions such as Politicians and Footballers fail to score votes.

A 2014 study conducted by the UK’s leading extramarital affairs site IllicitEncounters.com has revealed the male professions that women find the sexiest.

The study asked over 2,000 female members of the dating site what they thought the sexiest profession for a potential partner was and why. The top job title to get a ladies attention is entrepreneur; it’s unsurprising that creative, risk taking and intelligent entrepreneurs top the list, with examples such as Dragons’ Den star Peter Jones, Richard Branson (Virgin), Michael Smith (Mind Candy) all being ranked as top female crushes. However, straight-laced bankers and stockbrokers occupied the second place profession with women describing them as ambitious, ruthless and confident.

According to the study, the least attractive professions are professional footballer and politician. Probably not helped by the over exposure of the world cup and recent election campaigning, women viewed them as over-confident, vain, self-absorbed and as having a reputation.

IllicitEncounters.com spokesperson Mike Taylor commented: ” With the World Cup over (Well for England anyway) and the footballers antis on the pitch now moving off pitch, they could find themselves struggling to score as women find their over-confidence incredibly off-putting. Women who are looking for a new lover often look for a man who is as attractive on the inside, as well as the outside; they want someone they can have an emotional and physical connection with. It appears that whilst footballers may be attractive on the pitch, off the pitch most women feel they would have little or nothing in common with them. So despite their fame and fortune, most women find their arrogance, and reputation as a real turn off.”

Other professions that made the ‘hot’ list include doctors, firefighters and musicians. Firemen were described as heroic, caring and brave whilst doctors were seen to be professional, motivated and protective.

Sally 44 from Yorkshire, who uses IllicitEncounters.com to meet married men commented: ” I am looking for a date with someone who can provide stimulating conversation. I find men who are overly vain and egotistical off-putting, and I can’t imagine anything worse than going for dinner with a politician – I want to be excited, not bored to sleep, and I doubt they are dynamite in the bedroom either.”

Women also found musicians attractive, describing them as creative, artistic and mysterious. So footballers and politicians should watch out it looks like women are picking brains over brawn in the sexy professions stakes.

Top 5 Sexiest Professions:

Entrepreneur: 24%

Banker / Stockbroker: 19%

Doctor: 17%

Fireman: 14%

Musician: 10%

Least Sexy

Politician: 2%

Footballer: 1%
