Together with IllicitEncounters.com and Onepoll, I authored the UK's largest survey into infidelity.
Illicit Encounters, with over 635,000 members (that’s 3% of the British public’s married population), has released the results from the biggest ever survey on infidelity, commissioned by the dating site and conducted by One Poll. I authored the poll itself, in order to garner some hard facts about cheating in the UK.
Findings include:
25.4% of married men and 18.3% of married women and have cheated on their current partners at least once
The U.K.'s National Health Service urges students to have an orgasm twice a week.
The UK's NHS is handing out pamphlets to school children touting "An Orgasm A Day Keeps The Doctor Away." The pamphlet asks the question: why promote healthy eating and exercise and not the maintenance and upkeep of one's sexual organs? They are also saying sex is good form of cardiovascular exercise.

The UK's longest living married couple shares insights on how they've made it last.
They met at a YMCA dance in the St. Bordeaux area of Plymouth, England in 1926. They were teenagers at the time. Two years later, on May 26, 1928, they tied the knot at a nearby registry office. It was the same year penicillin was invented.
Since then, Frank and Anita Milford have survived the Blitz (with one bomb even landing on their house), separation from their two children during the WWII evacuation, and 81 years of ups and downs.
Now living together in a nursing home in Plymouth, Frank, 101, and Anita, 100, will soon be the longest married couple in Britain. And while they say there is no "magic secret" to a happy marriage, they do have some wise insights that they've shared with the BBC over the years.
Especially women with step-kids. So says a nationally funded UK clinic.
Let's first make something clear. We don't think everyone should procreate. In some cases, we really wish they wouldn't. In fact, if we had our druthers, we might actually sit down with a few of them and ask: "Are you really sure you want to do this, Mrs. Hitler?"
That being said, we also aren't in favor of arbitrarily picking and choosing who should be allowed to receive fertility treatments.
For example, if you're a 27-year-old woman who's been trying for over three years to get knocked up, we wouldn't deny you fertility treatments just because your husband fathered two kids in a previous relationship.
A nationally funded clinic in the UK, however, seems to see things differently.
British teenager and his 15-year-old girlfriend now parents to baby girl.
In a classic, made for Maury tale, Alfie (just 12 at the time) impregnated Chantelle, then helped her hide the pregnancy until her mom noticed her bump. The parents of these two baby-having babies came together to support the scenario, and are allowing the pair to have sleepovers as they struggle to raise their infant. Alfie's dad notes that the kid still seems completely confused by the situation, which makes total sense BECAUSE HE IS ONLY THIRTEEN. Dad says, "I will talk to him again and it will be the birds and the bees talk. Some may say it's too late but he needs to understand so there is not another baby."
In the shower! In a hot tub! With a vibrator! During a sex dream!
Masturbation: ladies are doing it! Jezebel blogged about a UK study of 1,000 women ages 18 to 30 which found a whopping 92% masturbate!
Two-thirds of women in the Gossard Big M survey touched themselves three times a week and women living in London self-pleasured four times a week.
According to past surveys, 74% masturbated in 1974 and 62% did in 1953. (1953? Really?)
Of course, the study took place across the pond, so we can't be totally sure women here are just as frisky. We'd guess that with the shame surrounding the female body and female pleasure, less American women masturbate.
The person believed to be Britain's youngest sex-change patient -- born Elizabeth, now Alex -- has received the green light for a female-to-male procedure.
Alex has been openly gay since age 15 and lived as a boy for the past year, including flattening his breasts. Now he plans to undergo a double-mastectomy and a hysterectomy.
Prenups may become legally binding in the UK soon.
The UK has long resisted the siren call of the prenup. But after national treasure Sir Paul McCartney had to pay that harpy like $50 million they're rethinking things. So it may be a lot tougher to make a go of it in the divorce capital of the world, gold diggers
A new divorce fair puts everything you need in one place.
In response to a rapidly rising divorce rate, Britain will host its first-ever divorce fair, says The Telegraph. Couples will have access to lawyers, financial advisers, and self-help experts.
