If you\u2019re waving a significant other off on a girls or lads holiday in the sun this year, new research may give you pause for thought.<\/p>\n

Four out of ten holiday-makers have cheated on their partner while on a break, according to a new survey.<\/p>\n

And women are more likely than men to have a holiday fling.<\/p>\n

Almost half of females polled (46%) said they had played away during a break, compared to 42% of men.<\/p>\n

And what happens on tour tends to stay on tour because only 15% of women and 13% of men have confessed to their partner about being unfaithful while holidaying without them.<\/p>\n

The most popular occasions for a holiday fling are stag and hen dos.<\/p>\n

A third of women (36%) admitted straying while away with hen pals and 32% of men have done the same on a stag do.<\/p>\n

The results are from a new survey of 2,000 people, split evenly between the sexes, by\u00a0IllicitEncounters.com, the UK\u2019s leading dating site for married people.<\/p>\n

It was carried out to coincide with the return of Love Island on Monday June 3.<\/p>\n

It found that the main reason people cheat when they are away is because they were unlikely to get caught \u2013 with 42% of women and 39% of men choosing this response.<\/p>\n

Other reasons for cheating included sun being an aphrodisiac (39% of women and 36% of men), mates were doing it (32% of women and 34% of men), I drank too much (28% of women and 30% of men) and an opportunity came up and I thought I would go for it (29% of women and 27% of men).<\/p>\n

Only 17% of women and 13% of men have regretted having a holiday fling.<\/p>\n

But tagging along might not even stop your partner straying.<\/p>\n

While almost all holiday flings happen when people are away with friends rather than their partners, a brazen 8% of women and 11% of men have cheated while they were on a break with a loved one.<\/p>\n
