PARIS is a hotspot for flings amongst globe-trotting business executives in Europe, according to a recent survey.
The French capital was named by 52% of respondents as the city of choice for a sexual encounter when on business trips without their spouse or regular partner. Next in the list was Milan, followed by Barcelona, Brussels, London, Geneva and Berlin.
The need to keep infidelities secret came lower than other motives for off-base hook-ups. Loneliness was another tempting factor for hook-up’s and the fact that being away from home gave an added sense of freedom. The extramarital dating agency Gleeden.com conducted the survey.
The survey was carried out online among 950 people of between 30 and 55 years of age living in fixed relationships and declaring to earn more than 50,000 euros (43,453 pounds) a year. The city ranking was based on spontaneous responses and not a pre-defined list of city names. The survey sample was limited to Europe, Gleeden communications officer Helene Antier added.
