A dating site has found that fathers want a bit of excitement in their sex lives.

According to a survey by the infamous extra-marital dating site AshleyMadison.com, of over 2 000 married male members want preferably a blow job finished off with some anal sex for Father's Day.

The survey found that 36% of men said that a lack of sex is the primary reason for their infidelity, followed by lack of intimacy (29%) and lack of excitement (19%).

Only 36% of respondents felt guilty about their extra-marital liaisons, with 66% saying that their affair has had a positive impact on their marriage.

“People cheat because their physical or emotional needs are not being met and a biological drive in each and every one of us can push us to seek out change,” says Noel Biderman, CEO of AshleyMadison.com.

“It comes down to human nature. It is not in our DNA to be monogamous.”
