With an average house price of £574,860 – more than double the national average of £242,639 – it is one of the most desirable places to live in the UK.
IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said: “Windsor is the UK’s new cheating capital.
“It is one of a number of posh commuter towns in the top ten and shows that sex in the suburbs has never been more popular.
“Lots of couples cannot afford to divorce due to the cost of establishing two new homes, so they are sticking with their partner and adding some spice to their marriage by discreetly having an affair.
“They know that with a site such as IllicitEncounters they can have an affair with a like-minded partner who is also looking to cheat. Both sides can have some fun without upsetting things at home.”
The figures are based on IllicitEncounters’ own extensive data on the numbers of Britons cheating.
Since its inception 16 years ago, more than one million people have registered with the site. IllicitEncounters.com has seen a 25% surge in registrations in the last five years and each week around 20,000 people are conducting affairs on the site.
The average income of men on the site is £54,000 a year – with most working in professional jobs.
“After a month we met. We didn’t talk about leaving our partners, however, as our home relationships continued to decline, possibly because we now put less effort in, we did decide to be together.
