A survey of 11 050 of cheating members on the Victoria Milan dating Web site for attached and married people looking to cheat reveals that cheaters are becoming bolder, taking more risks – and they aren’t worried about getting caught.Almost 90% of cheaters are using their mobile devices to contact their lovers – yet only 12% are scared of getting caught. Three-quarters of people did admit they have a slight fear of being found out – and 13% aren’t afraid at all that their digital dalliances might come to light.
Particularly cheeky are the cheaters who are sexting while their partners are home (23%), or even in the same room (64%). Only 13% claim they do not communicate with their lovers while their partner is around.
Founder and CEO of Victoria Milan, Sigurd Vedal, says mobile devices have brought the cheating world to a whole new level.
“We know at Victoria Milan that often affairs remain a digital fantasy – a cheeky online flirt is enough to satisfy people. Moving this from the desktop computer to mobile devices means our members can sext from the office, the car, or as we’ve revealed – from the same room as their partner, and still keep their affair a secret,” Vedal says.
The survey shows that 89% of Victoria Milan members use a smartphone or a tablet to communicate with their lover.
Asked if they are afraid of being caught when using a mobile device to communicate with your lover, 12% said they are very afraid, 75% are somewhat afraid and 13% are not afraid at all.
In addition, 23% of cheaters chat to their lovers using a mobile device while their partners in somewhere in the house; 64% while their partner is in the same room and just 13% never chat while their partner is in close proximity.
