More women cheat while on vacation than men, says idiotic website

Here's your morning dosage of rage-inducing nonsense in the form of a "study": women are more likely than men to cheat while on vacation, sometimes even when their husbands are nearby.
Of course, once you get past that surprise intro, you find the actual story:
According to new research from British "married dating site" IlicitEncounters, over a third of (already cheating) spouses can't keep it in their pants while on vacation solo or with friends. In fact, six percent of the sneaky devils strayed while on holiday with their spouse. The real news, however, is that married women vacationing with friends are more likely to break their vows than men.
The spokesperson from IllicitEncounters -- which sounds like one of those VCR foreplay "games" I found in my aunt's dresser drawer -- explains this phenomenon by saying "The sun is an aphrodisiac." Really? Only for women? Gimme a break.
IllicitEncounters was established in 2003, and expects have half a million memberships by the end of this month. Their study indicated that 63% of the 800 men and 800 women surveyed also said they would prefer to vacation with their mistress or...mister than their spouse, and that male cheaters were more likely to take their lovers on holiday than their wives.
You know, when you start taking your mistress/mister on vacation instead of your spouse, your marriage may be headed toward... counseling. Shocking, I know.

I don't know, I kind of see it. The sun IS an aphrodisiac, so it definitely causes more people to cheat. Plus, women are more susceptible to heat stroke than men, so that could definitely be playing a role. Without a strong male stabilizing presence, I could see a woman straying on vacation.
Women = "sneaky devils."
Why the Rage, Brian? Would you feel the same way if it reported men were cheating more? Or do you just think men are scum and only they can be doing 'bad' things?
Seems like extramarital vacation sex has only two options: bring your lover with you, or hook up with somebody there.
Bringing your lover with you is like daring your husband/wife to find out about it, with all the planning and everything. Impulsive shit seems like you could get away with a lot easier.
Women are more likely to have random people who are into them. If men want an impulsive fling, they have to find a partner. Women just have to smile at a guy.
For sure...my EX either did it when I was away...or, when SHE was !!! :-(
Of course, it's true because most societies in the world, other than China and India, also have a very high number of male inhabitants rather than female inhabitants. (Most people prefer to have sons versus daughters). Even if she's traveling with a boyfriend or husband, local guys might tempt her to cheat and cause her guy to become violent and abusive to her and/or her local lover. Like some British girl who was spending a vacation in Greece while with her boyfriend, for example, from a news source. She was cheating with the local guys and he beat her up and killed her. It was horrible. I know if I did that to my boyfriend, he'd beat and/or try to kill me and/or the other guy and of course my family would disown me too like in a story I read in a chapter in which a young law professor's family disowns her for cheating on her boyfriend. Most families do that to their daughters if they do that, especially if he's an overall steady boyfriend.
