Sex with your Ex? You might not find it to be the wisest choice, but a new survey has revealed that people in Britain reckon cheating on one’s partner with an old flame is ‘ok’.

According to the poll, one in five Britons believe that sharing the bed with an ex while dating a new girlfriend ‘doesn’t really count’.

In fact, in the ‘Why Men and Women Cheat’ survey, more than 50 per cent of all blokes have claimed that they prefer two-timing, even if they were in a happy marriage or relationship.

“Many men who love their partners and have great sex at home never turn down an opportunity for a bit on the side if they think they can get away with it,” the Daily Star quoted pollsters in the survey as saying.

In the survey, only a third of female love cheats said they were happy at home, blaming boredom as the main reason they slept around. And they claimed having an affair was a much-needed ego-boost.

Most women admitted that they had enjoyed a secret fling because it ‘was a reward for being an unappreciated wife and mum’, or for ‘putting up with a partner who wasn’t affectionate, didn’t listen or ignored’ them.
