Dirty data: Tech-heavy Thames Valley scores big in adultery index The UK’s tech hotspots have made a shockingly prominent showing in an adultery website’s list of the most adulterous towns in the UK – though some, thankfully, showed a dramatic slippage in extra-curricular activity compared to last year. Adultery site Illicit Encounter has helpfully applied a bit of big data magic to its …
Something wrong in their ranking,,,,,,,,,
there are around 138,500 people in the Lancaster area
According to the website, the four biggest towns in the area have figures of
Lancaster 5506
Morecambe 395
Heysham 395 (funny coincidence there)
Carnforth 155
i.e. a total of 6451, or..........4.66%. If you added in the villages it would be even higher.
So do you really think 5% of the local population - the entire population including kids and OAPs - are shagging someone other than their partner courtesy of the website? That would equate to something like 10-15% of the sexually capable population and assumes everyone is married. If you exclude unmarried people, and then realise only a small proportion of the population will be using the site to get dates then you start to look at a figure of around 30% or more of the married adult population is shagging someone other than their spouse
I don't believe it

Back in the early 1970s boffins looking at blood types in West Isleworth were taking the red stuff from entire families. They discovered that fully 30 percent of the children had blood types proving that they couldn’t possibly be biologically related to their “fathers.” The true rate of illegitimacy was still higher, though, because some fathers and bastards would have matching blood types due to coincidence. The researchers estimated that the true rate was around 50 percent. Other estimates I've seen place the figure at around 30% (US/UK data).
It was blood types that tipped off to my sister that we had different fathers. Our mother hotly denied this, much to our amusement, but the evidence was incontrovertible.
Back in the 1920s they came up with a slogan for the then emergent seaside resort of Morecambe: "Health Abounds, Beauty Surrounds." Yeah. Snappy. Morecambe is dead nowadays with only druggies, alcos and dole hogs imported from elsewhere staggering around. None have much energy to get up off the floor still less to climb into someone else's bed. These "surveys" show only how pointless PR is: dreamt-up stats for clumsy fictions that are easily disproved when it's realised that Barnsley is more sexually sophisticated than Paris. 'S true. I read it somewhere.
Morecambe...........as someone once said, the highlights of Morecambe life are watching the traffic lights change, the OAPs cross the road, and the pigeons die.
Or was it the pigeons cross the road and the OAPs die..........I can't remember which now.
But it isn't the end of the universe - you can see Barrow on the other side of The Bay. In Barrow nearly ALL sex is extramarital: you can't legally marry your sister or daughter.
I grew up and live in Seattle, so my perspective is a bit warped, but why is there such a revulsion about extra-marital sex? Disgust at the lies and sneaking around, that's a massive problem, but I don't find anything inherently evil in having sex with someone who is not a spouse. So long as everyone involved is aware of the situation, I see nothing wrong in it.

Not suprising if the Mothers Live at the Fillmore east is anything to go by :-)

Seriously though, couples whose libidos match are rare. If you can't get the extra marital sex you want then it's likely to be extra-marital sex that you seek. There was a chap from London living in Hobart back in the early 70s whose hobby was fornication. Actually, it was more like a vocation as he didn't work for a living. Anyway, he very politely asked every attractive female he met for sex and was surprisingly often successful. He told me that most of the women who said yes were in their first year of marriage.
Those with an interest in the boffinry behind the evolution of our sexual habits will find Matt Ridley's Red Queen an interesting read.
if you Google for images for "sexy underwear High Wycombe" you'll find a site dedicated to the female friends of a High Wycombe lady allegedly named Trisha
If you go there you'll need that pint, and probably another half dozen as well. Beer goggles definitely required
