Overall, 70 per cent of British men and 50 per cent of British women aren’t satisfied with their sex lives within their marriage, leading them to seek it elsewhere.

Those in Wales are the most unsatisfied with their sex lives, despite them getting the second most frequent marital sex in the UK.

Those in London are most likely to cheat on their spouse despite them getting the third most frequent amount of marital sex in the country.

Shockingly, 8 per cent of Londoners have admitted to cheating on the partner five times or more. This probably contributes to them being the second most sexually satisfied county in the UK.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, the company to commission the research, Rosie Freeman-Jones says, “The overwhelming statistic that we got from this survey is that married people are not happy with the amount of intimacy in their life.

“It’s a very serious position that over half of all those questioned in all regions of the country have said they are dissatisfied with their marriage because of this.”

Compared to other regions in the country, Londoners are almost twice as likely to cheat as the more faithful regions such as East Anglia where only 16 per cent of married couples have cheated on their partner.

Rosie Freeman-Jones said, “There were huge differences between the sexual appetites of the different regions of the UK but one of the stand-out points across the board was that married people were not getting enough sex at home.

“As many as two thirds of people in Wales were unhappy with the amount of sex they were getting and everywhere in the UK at least half of all married people were unhappy that they weren’t getting enough.”

Due to Londoners getting sex from both inside and outside their marriage, it will come as no surprise that 42 per cent of them said they were happy with their sex life.
