A cheating map of Britain has been drawn up revealing Devon as the capital of the country for unfaithful partners. Britain's largest survey of sex and marriage has revealed that the coastal county is the UK's most unfaithful, with a staggering 47 per cent of spouses currently playing away. The poll, conducted by a extramarital dating agency, also revealed that three per cent of the UK population admitted to cheating on their current partner.

I just thought this was interesting. Not normally the type of thing I post, and frankly I don't know too much about the culture of British counties. But I was wondering what an equivalent map would be like in the US.

I was reading a book about the British Navy. I think a lot of sailors came from Devon. It could be that they cheat more there because of the history of long separations while men were at sea.

Oh. I thought they had finally done it, and mapped what part of Britain is still non-muslim. My bad...

I think that the clotted cream and the scones have something to do with it.

Expect DC to be blood red.

One would guess both coasts only a bit less so.

Heartland (outside of urban areas) to be green.

The poll, conducted by a extramarital dating agency,

More fake stuff, I'm only aware of one serious sex survey that was ever done, the media concealed most of it's results and put it away.

Of course, the Brits obsessed with berries and cream go home with Rosey Palm and her five sisters.

FWIW: The divorce rates in are lowest in the northeast (!) and the upper midwest, and highest in the South.

I wonder what the percentages are for STDs and abortions.

They probably need to break it down to a smaller locality to really get a good picture of which areas are whoring around. As an aside, it would be fun to correlate this with political and social demographics.

In this study the people were chosen scientifically and they were interviewed, what impressed me is that the researchers would pursue the people until they got compliance, I think they ended up with 80% compliance of the randomly chosen subjects.

Most surveys are built to only receive the answers of the people that want to talk about sex to strangers which naturally leaves out the less outgoing, less mature, and the more conservative ones. I would like to know how losing the 20% skewed even this study.
