The dating site illicitencounters.com claims they see a 50% jump in new members when daylight saving time ends or begins.
A site representative tells the Daily Mirror: “The clocks going back afford us more time in bed, but they allow for a lot more when it comes to adultery. Pitch black afternoons aren’t exactly joyful, especially for those who wait long hours at home for their partner to return from work, and it’s in these moments of upsetting reflection that someone may realize how fractured their marriage is. Cheating is easier under cover of darkness. As a result, they decided to warm up their cold, dark afternoons, with a steamy affair being the perfect remedy. The darker days lend to this quite well, as does the colder weather. You can wrap up well, covering your face with a ski mask if you really want to, and few would bat an eyelid; you’ve got a bit more anonymity to meet your secret lover, which is particularly important for those who cheat close to home and are more prone to spotting a familiar face.”
Illicitencounters.com is a dating site for married people.
