In analysing the occupations of members that have joined the website since 2002, the company found that the most commonly identified professions for women were medicine (23 percent) and education (12 percent), while men were most likely to work in trades (29 percent) and information technology (12 percent).

Next most common for both genders was entrepreneurship.

Ashley Madison suggested that the connection between these careers and cheating make a combination of the emotional and practical: the intense nature of these jobs leads people to seek an additional outlet or release for their stress, and the erratic hours make it easier to carry out/cover up the infidelity.

The findings come on the back of a January survey by Relationships Australia on understandings of infidelity.

The research found the majority of 1,800 respondents reported that the main cause of infidelity was emotional disconnection. The second most commonly cited reason was feeling unappreciated at home.
