IllicitEncounters.com,
which provides a platform for married people to conduct affairs, has released
the results of its ground-breaking World Cup Survey uncovering the hidden
effects of the World Cup on your relationship.

The results should provide a wake
up call for all football fans as the World Cup gets underway; thousands of so
called ‘football widows’ are flocking to join-up and look for a extramarital
relationship as the world cup frenzy is leaving them feeling neglected by their
partners.

The website, which has over
900,000 members in the UK has reported an average of a 67% rise in female
activity since World Cup fever swept the nation; the surge of new female member
sign-ups further spiked during England’s 2-1 loss to Italy on Saturday.

The World Cup survey revealed a
startling amount of the new female members classed themselves as ‘football
widows’, and the top reason they were now looking for an affair, was down to
feeling neglected and deprived in the bedroom.

Question: Why are you looking for
an affair during the World Cup?

Spokesperson for
IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor commented: “Whilst the World Cup cannot be
blamed for the breakdown of a relationship, there is no doubt that like Christmas
and family holidays, it can highlight existing problems and bring underlying
tensions to a head. Scotland has proved that by not qualifying, relationships
are happier and men are reporting having more sex while women feel their men
are being more attentive. Meanwhile in England, almost the exact opposite can
be said whilst their team are away in Rio.

The World Cup is again showing
that women are not content with coming second in a relationship and are
realising that if they are feeling neglected, they can use a site like
IllicitEncounters.com to find someone that will give them what they are looking
for.”

An even more worrying thought for
football fans is that 72% of normally faithful women would consider having an
affair if they felt neglected during the World Cup. This could be made even
more likely with a huge 83% of the men surveyed admitting they would lie to
their significant other to avoid spending time with them so they could watch
the football.

However we shouldn’t
underestimate the importance of the World Cup: 12% of men surveyed were willing
to forgo sex for a year for tickets to the World Cup Final. There was good news
for Juan Mata, despite the terrible result for Spain against the Netherlands,
he was voted the player most women would like to cheat on their husbands with,
and despite her husband not even making the England line-up Abby Clancey
snatched the most desirable WAG tittle from Shakira.

The survey also revealed the most
unfaithful football fans with French fans taking the trophy for most
adulterous, followed by Italy and Brazil with England again being closely
beaten by the German fans who took 4^th place.

End.
