Music and Infidelity: Rock 'N' Roll Lovers more Likely to Cheat

A recent study looks at how rock 'n' roll lovers may be more likely to cheat on their partners than those who prefer other types of music.

A survey from the study revealed that 41 percent of people who admitted to being in an extramarital relationship had a preference for rock 'n' roll over other kinds of music. Pop music came in shortly after, with 11 percent of cheaters citing it as their favorite genre. The survey showed that 7 percent of the cheaters had a preference for classical music while 2 percent had a preference for rap and hip-hop.

Though the findings showed that 70 percent of respondents overwhelmingly preferred mates with their own music tastes, the same did not apply to Irish folk. Many of them seemed to prefer country music at 33 percent.

"I am not surprised that rock 'n' roll music came out on top," said a spokesperson for IllicitEncounter.com, who commissioned the survey, according to the Daily Mail. "Rock music has a long been associated with sexual appeal, risk taking and living life on the edge."

"Many of our members would have grown up under the influence of bands such as the Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac and it is very possible that these songs have had an influence on their lifestyle," he concluded.
