OnBuy.com recently reported 41% of women and 60% of men were unhappy with their sex lives in quarantine. Now that lockdown measures are being lifted, are we more likely to seek a thrill elsewhere?

Resume.io conducted a nationwide survey to find out what percentage of professional people have cheated; how many have cheated with a colleague, and in which sectors cheating is most and least likely to occur. (*Methodology)

If yes, why did you cheat?
