At what age are people most likely to cheat?

According to IllcitEncounters- people have a habit of seeking sex with someone other than their spouse when they hit the number nine in their current decade, so look out if your partner is 19, 29, 39, 49 or 59 a this could spell trouble.

Apparently, people of this age are twice as likely to seek an affair, than at any other age.
When people reach an age that ends in nine- they start to look at their life and see where they can inject some new excitement into it- and sometimes this exciteme
nt comes in the form of straying from their marital bed.

Another reason for cheating is that an opportunity comes along and it's too good to miss. Just over half of members are bored with their partner and so deliberately seek out other people which results in some reconnecting with old flames. The least common but still accounting for a fifth of cheaters is the need for a change. A different person, a new dialogue and fresh experiences.

Allegedly, the age to be most worried about your partner having an affair is at 39, as many people genuinely believe now that life starts at 40.

The dating site also found that there were 18% more profiles in years ending in nine than for other years in the decade and they were more active when it came to dating in this year.

IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said: "Beware of the figure 9 - it is the danger age as far affairs are concerned.

"This is applicable to men and women. Both go looking for affairs when they are on the verge of entering a new decade. "IllicitEncounters.com research shows that some people cheat to get their partner's attention. If their partner's a workaholic or unavailable to them, being caught with someone else is a way of saying: 'Hey, if you love me, pay attention to me!'. "'Payback cheating' is also common. If you've cheated in the past or done something else to hurt your partner, they might retaliate to get even."
