Over 100,000 Spouses Cheating On-line While Working From Home

(PRWeb UK) February 23, 2011

A survey from UK-based extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com shows that growing numbers of work-at-home spouses are cheating online.

In an in-site study, the website found over 65% (370,000) of members access the affairs site during work hours, and 23% (131,000) admit to logging on while ‘working from home’. The statistics show a 10% increase on those who visited the site on company time; perhaps a symptom of the overwhelming number of British employees stuck in jobs they no longer enjoy, as a result of the recession.

The self-employed are the most well-represented professionals on the site, with 13% of members working for their own businesses. Site spokesperson Sara Hartley comments:

“Those working from home do not have to labour under the scrutinous eyes of their boss, and are therefore more able to visit saucier websites on company time. However, self-employed men and women are also psychologically endowed with traits that make the more likely to stray.”

“Those who can afford to be self-employed have to have had a great deal of success in their professional lives, and we know for a fact that people who succeed in business are more likely to cheat; they usually nurture perfectionism, which makes them more likely to be dissatisfied with their relationships, and are also risk-takers – a behaviour which can aid them to make bold financial decisions, and also one which draws them to the idea of an affair”.

IllicitEncounters.com has been running since 2003, and has just over 570,000 members.

Successful Model Leads Movement to Prevent Cosmopolitan Magazine From Aggressively Marketing Sex to Minors

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 09, 2012

Model Nicole Weider is leading a movement alleging that Cosmopolitan Magazine is actively targeting minors, and needs to be sold in a non-transparent wrapper, exclusively to adults.

She believes the public may have no idea how explicit the cover copy and editorial of this publication, sold openly on store shelves, can be. Weider points out that 17-year-old Dakota Fanning is currently on the February 2012 cover, right alongside the statement, “Too Naughty to Say Here, But you HAVE to try this Sex Trick.” Disney favorite, 19-year-old Selena Gomez, has been reported as the cover model on an upcoming issue. Weider asks, if the magazine is truly not targeting an underage audience, why would it put teen heroines on the cover?

Weider’s Change.org campaign demands that Cosmopolitan be sold in a non-transparent wrapper to adults only to prevent children from buying and reading material inappropriate for their development. The petition already has gained fast traction, with over 20,000 signatures in agreement with Weider’s request since its launch. The petition can be viewed at http://Tinyurl.com/anticosmo.

“We are not asking Cosmopolitan to change their content,” explains Weider. “We simply want them to take responsibility for it. They say it’s for adults, so let them sell it only to adults. This is what we are in communication with the FTC about. If they are going to print sexually explicit articles and images, it should not be marketed and sold to kids. It’s that simple.”

The American Psychological Association’s 2010 study titled “Report of the APA Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls” suggests that the proliferation of sexual images of girls in the media is harming and impeding healthy development, self-image and body-image, and is now linked to common mental health problems including eating disorders, low self-esteem and depression (see page 23 of the APA report).

“Exposure to over-sexualization during the early and teen years almost always disturbs the development of a consistent yet flexible sense of self, resulting in deeply rooted objectification and personality disorders.” explains Los Angeles-based Dr. Shandiz Zandi. “These disorders manifest behaviors such as self-mutilation, eating disorders, prostitution, drug addiction and other behaviors that are destructive to self and others and could remain devastating through an entire life span.”

The campaign began after Weider simply purchased a copy of the magazine. “I couldn’t believe how pornographic the content had become. I started thinking about my teenage siblings and was horrified that their age-group had easy access to this graphic material.”

Initially, she made a YouTube video and posted it on her fast-growing website for Christian teens, http://www.projectinspired.com. The response from young girls who had been negatively affected by the publication was so great that she created the change.org petition, urging that Cosmopolitan make itself available to adults only.

Weider explains, “In recent issues the editors of Cosmo have urged their readers to sext, participate in anal sex, accept cheating boyfriends, have public sex, try three-somes, and visit pornographic websites with the URLS conveniently provided. This subject matter should not be available to minors.

“With our change.org petition, we simply ask that the magazine admit its content is not appropriate for young girls, stop putting teens on the cover and put the magazine in a non-transparent wrapper. It’s that simple. If you aren’t marketing to teen girls, then this request shouldn’t be an issue.”

Got Midlife Issues? Get Real-Life Answers From Midlife Experts in This Life-Changing Workshop for Women

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 21, 2008

We Boomers are on top of the world, aren’t we? Then why are so many of us feeling lost and alone in our own maze of confusing questions, emotions and physical problems?

“In midlife, says Joyce Dillon, RN, MN, founder of Healthy Living & Balance Institute, most people experience some physical, relational, professional or psychological changes which often occur in the form of an unhappy marriage, affairs, or divorce; or they experience anxiety or depression that may have no clear source; and/or discontent with careers.

Also during this time, Dillon says, mid lifers may begin to notice “a calling” which is our soul urging us toward our authentic life of enhanced purpose and meaning, and they need support to understand their experience and answer this “calling.”

Sound familiar?

If so, Dillon and her colleague Caroline Dott, PhD, LCSW, CGP are offering hands-on help, with a special bonus. Check out Healthy Living & Balance Institute’s new workshop, Finding and Living Your Authentic Life: Embracing Your Soul’s Calling In Midlife.

This unique, full-day workshop helps women understand this spiritual and psychological transition and helps them to use hands-on techniques for navigating more smoothly through the challenges of their midlife journey. Workshop facilitators Dillon and Dott will guide participants through experiential exercises, guided meditations and trans-formative teaching. This workshop will help women to:

Begin to explore how they want to live their life
Understand this transition as a normal spiritual and psychological process
Eliminate hidden behaviors and programs that sabotage them
Learn how to activate their divine feminine energy
Rewrite the blueprint of their life to include all they want to be
Learn self-care techniques to manage and maintain balance in life
Release obsolete beliefs that will allow them to live more fully

Ms. Dillon and Dr. Dott offer a special bonus for all workshop participants: One complimentary individual session with either Dillon or Dott, and one complimentary follow-up teleconference group call with the facilitators.

Related Marriage Affairs Press Releases

Adultery Dating Website Banned from UK Wedding Shows

UndercoverLovers.com Banned from Wedding Shows

(PRWEB UK) 4 November 2011

UndercoverLovers.com, which is aimed specifically at married people seeking extra-marital affairs, were planning to exhibit at The UK Wedding Show, to be staged at London’s ExCeL from February 4th-5th, and other events planned in Manchester, Newcastle, Coventry and Harrogate, but have now been refused permission to attend.

UK Wedding Shows originally agreed to Undercover Lovers exhibiting. As UK Wedding Show Director Bev Howard put it: ”We would be happy for Undercover Lovers to take a stand but we have to be sensitive to all our exhibitors and a location would have to be discussed.”

However when news went public of Undercover Lovers’ participation in the shows, the organizers suddenly back-tracked and informed the dating website that: “We regret to inform you that after today’s events we cannot accommodate you at any of our future shows.”

UndercoverLovers.com spokesperson Emily Pope comments: “We’re disappointed to have been banned. Our motives for wanting to exhibit at The Wedding Show were positive. Statistically more than 50% of the soon-to-be married exhibition attendees will eventually separate. We planned to attend the show with leading French marital relationship expert and authoress Dr Maryse Vaillant), with the intention of offering attendees advice on some of the potential pitfalls that lie ahead in married life and ways to avoid their marriages becoming one of the statistics.

Emily Pope adds: “The French and English have traditionally had very different attitudes towards marital infidelity. Dr Vaillant, France’s most prominent female psychologist, believes wives should welcome their husbands’ extra-marital affairs as a sign of a healthy marriage.”

Dr Vaillant says “Most men don’t have affairs because they no longer love their wives. On the contrary, they simply need breathing space. Once women accept that fidelity is not natural but cultural and that infidelity is essential to the psychic functioning of certain men who are still very much in love, it can be very liberating.”

Emily Pope states for UndercoverLovers.com: “We’re aware that our exhibiting at The Wedding Show would have been controversial. But we were genuinely planning to present an alternative view of marriage in a sincere and honest way with the intention of stimulating intelligent debate. We believe that British attitudes to adultery are often hypocritical. In a recent survey we conducted, 90% of British respondents said infidelity is wrong. Yet when asked if they would be unfaithful if guaranteed to get away with it, 55% of the same respondents said they would. We are seeking to challenge the orthodoxy, as often expressed in British media, that affairs are necessarily destructive to marriages.”

She continues: “The success of Undercover Lovers proves that in reality more and more British spouses are adopting a more Continental approach to their marriages by having affairs, but are not necessarily being honest about it due to outdated societal mores. We aim to create a more open discussion about the issue and exhibiting at The Wedding Show was intended to form part of this initiative.”

About UndercoverLovers.com

UndercoverLovers.com was launched in 2009 ago and is the UK’s foremost extra-marital dating agency. With over 550,000 members, the site was created to provide a safe, discreet and non-judgmental environment, where married women and men can meet. The majority of the site’s members are 30 and 40 something professionals earning on average £10k more than the country’s average wage and have been married 5+ years. Unusually for a dating website, Undercover Lovers has an even 50:50 ratio of men and women.

Undercover Lovers members are generally seeking to fill the gaps in their marital relationships, be they of a physical or emotional nature. They often describe their relationships with their spouses as having become more like a friendship. For a variety of reasons they are not looking to dissolve their marriages (financial, children, much still OK with the marriage etc.). Meeting someone in a similar situation, and thus with the same expectations of a relationship, is for many the best solution.

From Amusement Park Spas to Snow Showers to Beauty Coaching: SpaFinder Forecasts Top 10 Global Spa Trends for 2012

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 06, 2011

From “amusement park” spas to cold treatments like “snow showers” to the arrival of beauty coaches, SpaFinder today released its annual Spa Trend Report™ forecasting the global trends and ideas that will reshape spa and wellness in 2012.

Now in its ninth year, the influential annual report is based on analyses from SpaFinder Research and its team of experts who visit hundreds of spa and wellness businesses around the world every year, as well as interviews with leading industry analysts, and data and feedback collected from SpaFinder’s partnership with over 15,000 spas, yoga, Pilates and fitness studios, wellness practitioners and salons worldwide.

The Spa Trend Report™ is developed under the direction of SpaFinder President Susie Ellis, a contributing editor to NewBeauty magazine, a founding board member of The Global Spa Summit, and author of the widely read industry blog Susie’s Spa Blog. Ellis is credited with forecasting numerous industry “mega-trends” that have taken hold in spas around the world.

“After four tough economic years that made experimentation challenging, we are seeing the industry once again pushing the envelope with exciting ideas, delivering more wows, more fun, and quite serious wellness innovation,” said Ellis.

Ellis continued: “Overall, we see two distinct themes emerging. One is the industry innovating with diverse, new sensory experiences and treatments−from cold and “vibration” therapies to new services for healthy feet. The second is how spas are re-imagining and extending their connection to customers, moving beyond the sporadic visit, to programs aimed at developing long-term relationships such as coaching and online gaming.”

The top ten global spa trends for 2012 are:

1.) Healthy Feet Treatments

The delicate human foot contains 33 joints, 26 bones, and 126 muscles, ligaments, and nerves – which women regularly squeeze into high heels. Add the fact that the average person spends four hours a day on their feet, and it’s no wonder there is a national epidemic of foot problems like bunions, hammertoes, arthritis, and worse.

Spa-goers can now take care of their troubled tootsies with a variety of treatments and classes. Canyon Ranch SpaClub in Las Vegas offers a comprehensive “Healthy Feet” program, with computerized gait analysis and treatments in zero-gravity chairs, while Yamuna’s boot camps in New York City teach attendees to improve their posture and strengthen the muscles in their feet. There are even 100% foot-focused med-spas such as California’s Stride Wellbeing, which combines podiatric medical care with a menu of foot-pampering treatments. And podiatrist-overseen “medi-pedis” are booming, like those served up at celebrity foot doc Margaret Dabbs’ London centers, or famed French foot doctor Bastien Gonzalez’ signature pedicures at One&Only spa resorts worldwide.

2.) Cold and Ice Treatments

From saunas to steam rooms to hot stone massages, spas have traditionally turned up the heat. But while heat promotes relaxation and detoxification, the benefits of icy therapies – including better circulation and reduced inflammation of muscles and joints – are finally getting their due.

Infrared saunas, which direct radiant heat into the body without heating the air, are becoming more widespread, and more extreme cold and hot/cold-contrast treatments are on the rise. Every ESPA spa in the world now offers ice rubdowns after saunas, while spa-goers at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas can experience falling snow in its Arctic Ice Room. A new Snow Shower from Thermarium will hit the market soon, and for hardcore ice devotees there’s cryotherapy, where a person spends 2-3 minutes in a chamber cooled to a mind-numbing -120°C (-184°F). It’s a highlight at Canada’s Sparkling Hill Resort and California’s US Cryotherapy Center – the first dedicated “cold therapy clinic” − which is poised to franchise its full-body, cold-therapy chamber to other locations.

3.) Wellness and Beauty Coaching

Health coach. Sleep coach. Eyebrow coach. Coaching is gathering steam at spas, and with good reason. While isolated treatments have their benefits, spas are in a unique position to help people make the kind of lifestyle changes that lead to long-term health and well-being. With the word “spa” increasingly evoking an entire lifestyle, it is only logical that coaching will become a fundamental part of the spa philosophy.

US destination spas like MiiAmo and Canyon Ranch are taking the lead with spa coaching packages followed by post-visit consultations via phone, email, and even Skype. The trend is also hitting the beauty arena, with Clarins officially offering “beauty coaches” at its new flagship spa in Paris. As wellness-related gadgets and apps become more advanced, watch for long-distance wellness and beauty coaching to become even more prevalent.

4.) Online Wellness Gaming

Half a billion people worldwide play online games for at least an hour a day, and gaming’s addictive features – points, challenges, rewards, social interaction – are uniquely suited to making healthy lifestyle changes stick. Pioneers in the wellness gaming space include early entries like the meditation game Leela, from mind-body guru Deepak Chopra, and MindBloom’s Life Game, which rewards members for achieving well-being goals and has the backing of insurance giant Aetna.

While French beauty powerhouse Clarins has dipped its toes into the market with its beauty-centric Facebook game “Spa Life,” the spa industry is well-poised to take the lead in wellness games, as spas already enjoy powerful real-world connections with their customers. The next step is to use gaming to maintain those connections once they return home, offering daily online workouts, using sensors to track progress, and facilitating online encouragement from therapists, friends, and family.

5.) Spa, Wine, and Dine Packages

While many hotels and resorts have long offered both very fine food and very fine spa, the two weren’t traditionally paired together as a package. That’s changing in a big way, as fine dining and spa-ing are being aggressively paired, packaged, curated, marketed, and savored together as never before. Creative culinary-plus-spa experiences have become a massive trend because they’re massively appealing: a logical, sensory, “lifestyle” combo for both pleasure seekers and true connoisseurs.

This healthy hedonism lends itself to an infinite variety of packages, from the “culi-spa” weekends offered by San Francisco’s Cavallo Point – which features expeditions to local farmers’ markets – to full-immersion packages like the “Plates and Pilates” retreat at Cascina Papaveri (Italy), where guests help harvest and cook food around their daily sessions. Other spas are curating spa/wine/food combinations; at Auberge du Soleil (Napa Valley), each vinotherapy spa treatment is paired with a local wine selected by their sommelier.

6.) Vibration, Sound, Music, Light, and Color Therapies

Spas have long used sound and light as ambient accessories. Now, new scientific evidence revealing the physical and emotional benefits of frequencies and vibrations has inspired an explosion of approaches based on the idea that various systems in our bodies vibrate at different frequencies, and disruptions can affect our health.

The Spa at Woodloch (Pennsylvania) offers Tibetan sound massage, which balances the body with vibrations from singing bowls, while more spas are incorporating Ayurvedic medicine, which corrects chakra imbalances with color therapy.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the trend is an explosion of blended, multi-sensory “good vibrations” approaches, including new saunas, steam capsules, lounge chairs, massage tables, tubs, and experiential pods that weave light, color, sound, and music/rhythm together for sensory bliss. The trend is epitomized by Miraval Resort’s (US) new Taiz Sensorium, which integrates vibrational medicine, music therapy, gentle human touch, and aromatic oils to fully engage all senses. And look for the new Wolke 7 Cloud 9, a futuristic multisensory, multidimensional recliner experience designed by award-winning Vienna artist sha, to show up in top spas soon.

7.) The Glam Factor

The intensity, frequency, and sheer whimsicality with which people are now getting “glammed up” is exploding worldwide.

The spa and beauty industry is working overtime to invent ways for beauty-seekers on a budget to more quickly, more cheaply, and more often change up their looks and hair with high-impact little beauty “fixes” and frills. “Blingy beauty” is hot – from funky and flashy manicures like those with Swarovski crystals or holograms at Manhattan’s Spa Martier, to creative hair flair: intricate braids, ornate feathers, ribbons, crystals, and colorful extensions. Speed and convenience also figure big in popular chains like Drybar’s blow-dry bars; Blushington Makeup Beauty Lounge, offering walk-in professional makeup applications; and :10 Minute Manicures in airport salons. At Blink, a brow bar in London, it’s all about the eyes, with lash tints, brow shaping, false eyelashes, and anything to glam up the peepers.

For the flush and not-so-rushed, spas are offering ultra-high-end experiences. The Guerlain Spa at NYC’s Waldorf Astoria, which is re-launching with a distinct 50’s glamour sensibility, ends each spa treatment with a complimentary makeup application or pressing service that sends guests away looking like a page out of a vintage French fashion magazine. Toronto’s Quartz Crystal Spa at Trump International takes it one step further with an interior design that transports guests to an oasis of vintage Hollywood glamour.

8.) Spa Evidence

Will a massage boost immunity? Can time in a sauna cure cold symptoms? Does acupressure relieve lower back pain?

The answers to those questions can be found at SpaEvidence.com. Launched in 2011, the site is the web’s most comprehensive resource on the hard science behind popular spa and wellness therapies like massage, foot reflexology, aromatherapy, yoga, and meditation. It’s part of a growing trend toward holding alternative therapies up to scientific scrutiny – and the wealth of positive results has encouraged the medical community to adopt spa approaches, while providing an opportunity for the spa industry to link their menu of treatments to medical evidence.

In 2012, more hospitals than ever will incorporate – and more doctors will prescribe – spa and wellness approaches. Meanwhile, big spa players like Rancho La Puerta (Mexico), Fairmont’s Willow Stream Spas (across Asia, Europe, and North America), and SpaFinder.com have adopted a custom version of SpaEvidence.com, while other spas prominently link to the site. As clinical studies continue to erode the barriers between traditional and alternative therapies, look for more spas to adopt the language of evidence-based medicine.

9.) Spas Become a Family Affair

As more families travel with children to spas, the industry is evolving to accommodate the under-18 set – from opening kids-only spas to offering services focused on everything from childhood obesity to the development of lifelong wellness practices.

Spa parties, big with brides-to-be, now come in kid-friendly versions, while kid-specific day spas such as Sundae Spa in Connecticut offer playfully named treatments like “ice cream pedicures” and “starfish sparkle manicures.” The Omni Houston Galleria now offers dedicated kids’ packages, while Nickelodeon Suites in Orlando showcases a kids’ spa. Major destination and resort spas have also recently opened separate spas for kids, including Schloss Elmau in Germany and the new Disney Aulani resort in Hawaii, which offers a special spa designed exclusively for kids and teens, baby massage classes for new parents, and a host of other family-oriented services.

10.) Spas Aim for the “Wow” Factor

Gone are the days of interchangeable spas with the same beige, Zen look. As seasoned spa-goers seek new experiences, spas are piling on the “wow” factor to differentiate themselves from the crowd.

There are wows for almost any budget. Big wows include celebrity partnerships (Richard Branson speaking at Six Senses, Thailand; Mariel Hemingway serving as spokesperson for SpaFinder Wellness Week), futuristic designs like Milan’s outrageous bubble-themed Atomic Spa Suisse, or the cool, inspired treehouse concept at the Cocoon Spa at Indigo Pearl Phuket. Small wows include unexpected amenities like Mii Amo’s (US) WaveMotion rocking massage table, which makes clients feel like they’re floating.

Other spas have broken from the hushed, deadly-serious pack by lightening up, and a whole new species of “amusement park” spas are on the rise. The Kayley Sauna and Water Park in Estonia showcases tube slides, bubble baths, and every type of sauna imaginable, while New York City’s Spa Castle offers five stories of internationally themed saunas, steam baths, and swimming areas – plus a food court.

Postscript:

SpaFinder also highlighted one emerging trend that did not make it into the global top 10 primarily because it is mostly a U.S. phenomenon– Corporate Wellness Programs & Spas. SpaFinder Research will release a special report summarizing the significance and state of employee wellness in the printed edition of this report available in January 2012.
