UN HAPPY HOLIDAY!

AROUND four out of 10 holidaymakers have cheated on their partner while on a break, according to a new survey.

Women are more likely than men to have a holiday fling.

Almost half of women (46%) said they had played away while on a break, compared to 42% of men.

And what happens on tour tends to stay on tour, because only 15% of women and 13% of men have confessed to their partner about being unfaithful while holidaying without them.

The most popular occasions for a holiday fling are stag and hen dos.

More than a third of women (36%) admitted straying while away with hen pals and 32% of men have done the same on a stag do.

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

It found that the main reason people cheat when they are away is because they were unlikely to get caught – chosen by 42% of women and 39% of

men.

Other reasons for cheating included the sun being an aphrodisiac, my mates were doing it, I drank too much and an opportunity came up and I thought I would go for it.

Only 17% of women and 13% of men have regretted having a holiday fling.

And even fewer have been caught out by their partners – 14% of women and 12% of men.

Two-thirds of women who have had holiday flings ( 63%) said they would do it again, along with 59% of men.

Almost all holiday flings happen when people are away with friends.

Only 8% of women and 11% of men have cheated while they were on a break with a loved one. One in six women (16%) and 14% of men have had flings at home while their partners were partying abroad with friends.

Jessica Leoni, of IllicitEncounters.com, said: “The sun is shining and we are about to enter peak cheating season with so many of us heading abroad for some fun.

“Many people who wouldn’t dream of cheating on their partners at home suddenly feel this compulsion to cheat when they go away with their mates.” 1 I didn’t think I would get caught – 41% of cheats 2 Sun is an aphrodisiac – 37% 3 My mates were doing it – 33% 4 I drank too much – 29% 5 An opportunity came up and I thought I’d go

for it – 28% IF I’m in a relationship I would never cheat, no matter where I am.

It doesn’t matter if you’re on holiday or in the next town, just because you’re not with your partner is no excuse to sleep around.

I’m very sex positive, but in my mind that means no one should get hurt.

If you want to cheat, then just end the relationship.”
