This isn\u2019t your typical poll either \u2013 our respondents are people actively engaging with UK-based escorts. Broken down by city, age, and attitude, the findings paint a surprisingly nuanced picture of infidelity. Let\u2019s dive into the numbers and see what they reveal about relationships, loyalty, and human nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The Setup: How the Survey Worked<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Erobella asked two straightforward questions: \u201cHave you ever cheated on a partner?\u201d and \u201cHow important is sexual fidelity to you?\u201d Spanning 114 UK cities and towns, with data sliced by age, this survey was conducted in March 2025 and offers a rare glimpse into the minds of those navigating the world of paid companionship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure disaggregated data by town and city was not skewed by low response rates (i.e. the data was statistically significant), only locations with a minimum response rate of 25 were included in this breakdown.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Nationwide Findings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This might come as a surprise: 54% of respondents say they\u2019ve <em>never<\/em> cheated, while 46% admit to straying at some point. For a platform like Erobella, where you might assume infidelity is the norm, that 54% is striking. It suggests many users are either single, in open relationships, or simply haven\u2019t crossed that line. Fidelity also matters to them, as most cities report an average fidelity importance rating of 4.0\/5 or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Age Trends<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The data shows a clear pattern: older users are more likely to have cheated. Here\u2019s the breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2432\" height=\"1462\" src=\"https:\/\/erobella.com\/lust\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/cheating-by-age-group.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3842\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Younger users start lower, but the numbers climb with age, peaking at 48.54% for those over 65. This could reflect longer relationship histories, shifting attitudes, or simply more opportunities to slip up. Middle age sees some fluctuations, like a dip at 35-44, but the upward trend is undeniable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Regional Differences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK\u2019s diverse attitudes shine through in the city-by-city data. Cheating rates vary wildly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Highest:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/erobella.com\/uk\/escort\/newcastle\/\">Newcastle Upon Tyne<\/a> at 62.32%<\/li><li><strong>Lowest:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/erobella.com\/uk\/escort\/tonbridge\/\">Tonbridge<\/a> at 26.32%<\/li><li><strong>Notable:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/erobella.com\/uk\/escort\/doncaster\/\">Doncaster<\/a> (61.76%, high) and <a href=\"https:\/\/erobella.com\/uk\/escort\/sheffield\/\">Sheffield<\/a> (30%, low)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fidelity importance, rated on a likely 1-5 scale, also shifts by region:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Highest<\/strong>: Sheffield at 4.22<\/li><li><strong>Lowest<\/strong>: Doncaster at 3.16<\/li><li><strong>Others<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/erobella.com\/uk\/escort\/birkenhead\/\">Birkenhead<\/a> (4.0), <a href=\"https:\/\/erobella.com\/uk\/escort\/newton-abbot\/\">Newton Abbot<\/a> (4.15)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheffield stands out as a bastion of loyalty, with low cheating rates and high fidelity scores. Meanwhile, Doncaster and Newcastle lean the opposite way, suggesting regional cultures shape relationship norms. Across 114 cities (including <a href=\"https:\/\/erobella.com\/uk\/escort\/london\/\">Greater London<\/a>), the average cheating rate is 46.3%, mirroring the national figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"0e04bce3-3f9b-4510-96a8-2d67cc81d1f3\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Cheating Index 2025\"><\/div><script>!function(e,n,i,s){var d=\"InfogramEmbeds\";var o=e.getElementsByTagName(n)[0];if(window[d]&&window[d].initialized)window[d].process&&window[d].process();else if(!e.getElementById(i)){var r=e.createElement(n);r.async=1,r.id=i,r.src=s,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,\"script\",\"infogram-async\",\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\");<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Users of escort services vs. the UK public<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To put this in context, let\u2019s look at broader UK studies on infidelity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A 2024 World Population Review poll found 36% of Brits admitted to cheating, lower than Erobella\u2019s 46%. This makes sense &#8211; escort users aren\u2019t the general population.<\/li><li>A 2015 YouGov survey for The Sun reported 20% of adults had an affair, though definitions varied (kissing, sex, etc.) and the study was primarily focused on married couples.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So it seems that Erobella\u2019s users cheat more than the average Brit, but the 54% who haven\u2019t is a key takeaway. It challenges assumptions about why people use escort services &#8211; some might be single, in consensual arrangements, or just browsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Fidelity Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fidelity question, rated on a 1-5 scale, shows most users value loyalty. Sheffield\u2019s 4.22 is the high mark, while Doncaster\u2019s 3.16 is the low. Even on an escort platform, these scores suggest fidelity isn\u2019t just an afterthought; it\u2019s a real factor in how users think about relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What It All Means<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Erobella\u2019s survey flips expectations. Over half of its users haven\u2019t cheated, and many prioritise fidelity, despite the platform\u2019s purpose. Older users show higher cheating rates, likely tied to longer life experiences. Regionally, places like Sheffield champion loyalty, while Newcastle and Doncaster tell a different story. Compared to UK-wide data, Erobella\u2019s users are a bit more prone to infidelity, but the majority staying faithful is a curveball. This isn\u2019t just about escorts; it\u2019s about the messy, human dance of desire, loyalty, and choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we\u2019re happy to release the findings on our massive survey of almost 9,000 users, digging into their thoughts on cheating and sexual fidelity.
