Mobile devices are aiding infidelity and the cheaters are getting bolder, taking more risks - and are not worried about getting caught.
This is according to a survey of 11 050 cheating members of an extramarital dating Web site Victoria Milan.
The survey states that almost 90% of cheaters use their mobile devices to contact their lovers - yet only 12% are scared of getting caught.
Three-quarters of the respondents admitted they have a slight fear of being found out - and 13% aren't afraid their digital dalliances might come to light.
Particularly bold are the cheaters who are "sexting" while their partners are home (23%), or even in the same room (64%).Only 13% claim they do not communicate with their lovers while their partner is around.
The Web site reveals most of the cheaters on the site have a contract instead of using prepaid cards even though it is riskier given that their bill provides a complete record of everyone they have contacted each month using the phone.
New technology not only impedes sharing intimate moments with partners in their personal relationships, but also helps them in their search for romantic connections outside their existing relationships, states the Web site.
Founder and CEO of Victoria Milan, Sigurd Vedal, says mobile devices have promoted the cheating world.
"We know at Victoria Milan that affairs often remain a digital fantasy - a cheeky online flirt is enough to satisfy people. Moving this from the desktop computer to mobile devices means our members can 'sext' from the office, the car, or as we've revealed - from the same room as their partner, and still keep their affair a secret," Vedal says.
"Like anything else that enhances our lives, technology is a double-edged sword. It isn't surprising that cheaters would be ahead of the curve when it comes to taking advantage of its benefit."
Launched in 2010, Victoria Milan is a social network for men and women seeking a secret affair. The Web site has more than four million members worldwide in more than 33 countries.
