Chefs create the food of love – the no.1 best skill is cooking in affairs!

The ability to cook a good meal is the most desirable skill in an extra marital partner, according to a recent survey by Illicit Encounters, the UK’s top married dating site. 500 women were asked ‘what’s the most vital skillset for your potential partner – DIY, playing a musical instrument, speaking in public, dancing, speaking a foreign language, or cooking a good meal?’ The ability to stimulate taste buds came out on top!

“The result of our survey proves that the old saying ‘the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’ also applies to women.” Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters said, “People who seek affairs also seek escapism from their often boring, mundane lives. Both husbands and wives in stale marriages can begin to resent their partner if they have to do the bulk a chore they don’t enjoy, such as cooking. It can naturally become a huge priority for them that their new partner has cooking skills so they don’t have to do the cooking themselves.”

The research also found that over 78% (394) of the surveyed women on IllicitEncounters.com would like to be wined and dined at least once a week, and 315 of these women would prefer home-made meals.

“There are many different reasons these women prefer home-made meals. Firstly, it’s less time in public at cafes and restaurants, which means more discretion. Secondly, for health and vanity reasons because home-made meals are generally healthier and contain less calories because you know and control what’s going into them. Thirdly, it shows that you’ve put more effort into the meal, cooking it yourself rather than just going to a restaurant and getting someone else to do the work. Women want to feel wanted and important. Knowing someone’s gone to the trouble of cooking something from scratch – that in itself is an aphrodisiac!”

The top ten meals women wanted were:

• 1) Full English breakfast
• 2) Shepherd’s pie
• 3) Beef stew
• 4) Lasagne
• 5) Chicken Fajitas
• 6) Spicy tacos
• 7) Roast chicken and vegetables
• 8) Spaghetti bolognaise
• 9) Fish and chips
• 10)Chicken Caesar salad

The top ten desserts were:

• 1) Chocolate brownies
• 2) Chocolate fondant
• 3) Ice cream
• 4) Tiramisu
• 5) Bakewell tart
• 6) Eton mess
• 7) Warm apple pie
• 8) Scones with clotted cream and jam
• 9) Crème brûlée
• 10)Battenberg cake

Footballers Top the Least Trustworthy List!

New research released today by Illicit Encounters have confirmed that footballers are seen as the least trustworthy public figures, beating bankers, politicians and journalists, with 91% of the 2,000 women surveyed on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top extra marital dating site, saying the first characteristic that comes to mind when thinking of a footballer is ‘cheater’, before ‘talented’, ‘ambitious’, ‘athletic’, ‘fit’, or ‘motivated’.

The beautiful game isn’t short of its scandals and super-injunctions, and there have been more than enough footballers who have given in to temptation throughout their careers and earned them the least trustworthy slot, according to 1,820 of the surveyed women. Forget WAGS, the new footballing term is WAGOOs (Wives and Girlfriends of Others!)

“It’s not difficult to see why the stereotype that all footballers are cheaters is so strong in Britain with the likes of Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, John Terry, Peter Crouch, Franck Ribery and Carlos Tevez casually engaging in affairs,” said Clare Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters, “Men often follow examples of their boss, father figure or leader and their managers aren’t doing a great job of that – when the likes Arsene Wenger and Sven Goran Eriksson get away with it, they may think they can do the same.

“Some of our clients are high-profile athletes who are looking for escapism from their high pressured lives on our website. They have huge stress from their fans, captains, media and agents to always play perfectly, support the correct charities, say the right thing to the press and represent their best self at all time – they’re bound to crack under the pressure of the limelight. IllicitEncounters offers the best possible remedy to this pressure: discretion and hot affairs!”

David Cameron, Ed Milliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage receive Mistresses for the New Year?

New research released today showed that cheaters are twice as likely to be in political jobs than those in low-salary brackets. UK political leaders, including Prime Minister David Cameron, Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage have this week received posted invites from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top married dating site, encouraging them to cheat online.

Psychologist Lucy Redford said that men in power are more likely to cheat because “The feeling of invincibility is a natural by-product of the rise to political power. They feel like they won’t get caught, or if they do get caught they believe they will be able to talk their way out of it, which politicians are very good at.”

The research found that of the 1,000 cheating people surveyed, 235 of them were earning over £60,000, in political roles such as senior civil servants, head of government departments, parliamentary officials, political representatives or local councillors; compared to the 110 earning under £28,000, and in junior management or executive roles.

Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters said there are many high-profile politicians using the website – “Our priority for us and for our customers is discretion. We facilitate affairs easily in a stress-free environment, where the big players look for escapism from their high-pressure professional life. Those in politics are particularly unfaithful, such as French president François Hollande, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Vance McAllister. It’s so common today that people barely bat an eyelid when they hear that yet another politician has had an affair. Hollande actually got a popularity boost after his affair revelations!

“Today, a lot of marriages, especially in politics, are more business unions, such as the partnership between Bill and Hillary Clinton. The spark in the marriage may have gone, but there are other reasons to stay, such as voters’ support which is increased with a united façade, but why should they lose out on any romanticism or sex life when they can still have it so easily online?”

​All About That Bass: Musicians Top the ‘Best Lovers’ List, above Models and Personal Trainers!

A poll released today showed that women think musicians are the best in bed, beating models and personal trainers. The survey, carried out by Illicitencounters.com asked over 500 females across the UK what type of man, in their experience, is the best in bed. The top ‘best in bed’ group was musicians (39%), beating personal trainers (18%), models (11%), lawyers (7%) and bankers (0.5%).

“It’s very obvious and quite simple why musicians top the ‘Best in Bed’ poll,” said Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters, “Talent and creativity are extremely attractive. We get so many emails from women talking about their hot affairs with musicians, song writers and singers. The biggest sex symbols of all time, like Frank Sinatra, Justin Timberlake and Elvis Presley are all musicians. There’s something incredibly seductive about a man singing a love song. Every woman wants to thinks it’s about her!”

The names that topped the ‘fantasy sex partner’ list were:

1) Hozier

2) Harry Styles

3) Bruno Mars

4) Mick Jagger

5) David Bowie

6) John Legend

7) Jared Leto

8) David Grohl

The top three reasons women gave for musicians being great in bed are because:

1)They are passionate

2)They have good rhythm

3)They know what they’re doing with their hands!

Dancing in the dark – how you can tell if a couple are having an affair from the way they move on the dancefloor

New research released today shows that people can tell if a couple are sleeping with each other by the way they dance. 78% of the 1,200 people surveyed on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s biggest extramarital dating website, said dancing is the most sensual form of interaction, and most legible to people who are observing.

Close facing body language, smirking and mirrored movements are the top three tell-signs of people having affairs, according to 936 of the people surveyed.

“The way someone dances reflects the way they are in bed,” said Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters, “when someone’s dancing, their body language is heightened so if someone’s sleeping with another person on the dancefloor, the way they move around each other is a big give-away.

“Even the most discrete affairs have tell-tale signs when people are sleeping with each other, like if they’re making a lot of eye contact while they dance, suggesting they’re thinking of the other person while they grind, roll their hips or even sway tenderly from side to side. In the UK, people only take to the dancefloor once they’ve had a few drinks and inhibitions are removed, so it’s no wonder people are easier to read when they’re dancing.

“Movies like Dirty Dancing, Flashdance, Footloose, Honey and Step Up have all inspired us to express ourselves through dance. Often, people can better express themselves through movement than through words.”

Marriage with bite: Dog lovers are most likely to be faithful!

Marriage is made to last when it has its ruff stages, as research released today showed that those who own pedigree dogs are least likely to stray.

New research conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top married dating site with 1 million members, showed that of the 1,000 people in the UK surveyed, all of whom are having affairs, only 18.4% of them are dog owners. 816 of the 1,000 surveyed did not own dogs, did not have pets or else owned other animals, such as cats, hamsters, goldfish, snakes, guinea pigs, rabbits or budgies.

“There are many different reasons people have affairs,” Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters said, “Some people do it for companionship. Others do it because their partner travels often and they feel lonely, or because they think their partner is also having an affair so they feel it’s only fair. People want to feel adored, loved, important, valued, treasured, listened to, thrilled, or in control. An affair is not as black and white as some people think. That’s a prejudice and naïve way to look at it. What’s very interesting is the statistic from our latest survey – the fact that dog owners are the smallest group of people to stray says a lot. It reflects the temper of a dog – loyalty, protectiveness, friendship and affection are all things we associate with canines and people who are faithful.

“That’s not to say that every person who owns a dog won’t have an affair. One of our members is a multimillionaire man who breeds greyhounds. Another one of our clients is a top designer who is having affairs with three different men and owns two Pomeranians.”

Of the 184 dog owners surveyed, the top five breeds were-

• 1)Doberman
• 2)Mutt/ mixed breed
• 3)Shih Tzu
• 4)Bull terrier
• 5)French Bulldog

New Year, New You? Women are resolving to make 2015 the year of the Affair!

The New Year marks a time for change and for thousands of women it marks a time for self-renovation. However in 2015, there has been an unusual growing trend for over 3,500 women across the UK – their New Year’s Resolution is to have an affair!

Research from extra-marital dating site IllicitEncounters.com shows that more and more women are seeking affairs online as a means for self-improvement. Since the beginning of January, the site has gained over 3,500 female members – a record in the site’s 11 year history.

These new female members are looking for short, passionate love affairs, which they hope will restore their self-worth and put their marriage or long-term relationship into perspective.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Claire Page said, “There has been a clear change in attitudes toward adultery in the last few years, but 2015 indicates something much bigger.

“Women are coming to us with more awareness about their needs than ever before. From their profiles, you can see that our new ladies are looking for something more than just a quick fumble – they are looking for fulfillment, they expect something life-altering.”

Claire said that celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow showing understanding towards people having affairs, rather than just condemning them, is part of a large change in society, in thinking an affair can be beneficial.

Tiffany, 39, from West London, has been a member of the site for just over a week, “My decision to join was made out of frustration. Over Christmas, I spent over 3 weeks confined with my husband, who, after 12 years of marriage, only pays attention to me if I block his view of the television. I want to feel young and sexy again, I want to feel like a better woman. As my partner has made it clear he is incapable of helping me out, I have employed a more drastic measure.”

IllicitEncounters.com have taken on extra staff to deal with the record number of new sign-ups received in the last month, and now have nearly one million members across the UK.

The UK’s Leading extra-marital affairs website IllicitEncounters.comis the UK’s largest and longest running dating site for married people.

Established in 2003, we have been providing a meeting place for like-minded married and attached people for over 11 years.

Monday the 5th of January is the BIGGEST day of the year for affairs!

Following on from news that Friday the 2nd of January is dubbed ‘Divorce Day’ by the legal community, the UK’s leading married dating website, IllicitEncounters.com, has revealed that Monday 5th January, is the most adulterous day of the year.

When most of the British public goes back to work after a busy and stressful Christmas it makes for the most likely time that UK married couples would embark on an affair.

Statistics show that January is the time most married people either think about embarking on an affair – or splitting from their partner completely, making it Britain’s bleakest month of the year for marriages.

This follows research conducted that shows that 1-3 married people think they may have married the wrong person or for the wrong reason.

Christmas and New Year is a week of family lockdown when there is no excuse for avoiding family time this leads to people seeking extra-marital relationships, which rises significantly after the majority of the British public go back to work.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor explains: “Christmas and New Year are times when couples spend an intense period of time with each other and their families. This can be quite claustrophobic and sometimes leads to a ‘cabin fever’ situation where both parties feel irritated with each other and underlying problems are exasperated. The 5^th of January is typically one of the first days back to work and back to freedom and spouses take this opportunity to explore all the things they couldn’t under the watchful eye of their partner.”

IllicitEncounters.com sees on average a 30 per cent higher levels of activity during the winter months compared with the rest of the year, and this year to attract more female members Illicit Encounters has even released a 2015 calendar to showcase some of its eligible non-bachelors.

Based on previous years, IllicitEncounters.com is expected to see a sharp rise in the number of members joining the site. It is expected that there will be over One Million active UK members, approximately six per cent of the UK’s married population registered on the website by the end of winter.

This year the surge started even earlier with the pressure being too much for some couples, even by Boxing Day as Illicit Encounters reported it’s highest ever boxing day activity on the site showing it doesn’t take long during the festive period for the cracks to appear.
