Most adulterous professions revealed

Those working in the teaching profession are the most likely to have an affair, research from IllicitEncounters.com has found.

The website asked 1,500 people, and 27% of teachers admitted to being unfaithful, followed by lawyers, pilots, journalists and doctors.

Men (72%) were more likely to instigate relations with a co-worker than their female colleagues (28%).

IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesman, Christian Grant, explains why the teaching profession was the most adulterous: "Teachers are now closing the book after another undoubtedly stressful year. Whether they're stressing over targets, an impromptu Ofsted inspection or their class' exams, they always have their colleagues' shoulders to lean on, in what is generally a positive environment. However, when the work becomes too much, they're doing a little bit more than just leaning on a shoulder of their colleague.
