Australia’s dating landscape is changing fast, and so is the way people explore private connections outside their relationships. As one of the country’s most active affair apps and cheating platforms, Sasha7 has unique insight into where discreet behaviour is most common.
Using internal per-capita activity across Australia, we’ve identified the Top 7 Cheating Cities—counted down from #7 all the way to the most unfaithful city in the country. Some of the results may surprise you, especially when comparing men vs women.
Let’s start the countdown.
#7 — Brisbane
Brisbane takes the seventh spot, but don’t underestimate the River City. Quietly, it hosts a large and active base of users from suburbs like Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane, and Chermside. Many are professionals in long-term relationships looking to explore online affairs or meet married women nearby without drama.
One interesting trend in Brisbane: daytime activity spikes. This suggests users who want to connect discreetly while their partners are at work, making Brisbane a hotspot for lunch-break flirting.
#6 — Newcastle
Newcastle may be smaller, but it punches above its weight in secrecy. Mining, FIFO workers, and transient work schedules create an environment where maintaining an affair is easier. Many users here prefer anonymous connections and are drawn to the simplicity of a cheating website where real-life social circles don’t overlap.
Search activity in Newcastle skews heavily toward terms like married woman looking for fun, signalling a no-strings, casual approach to infidelity.
#5 — Sydney
You might expect Australia’s biggest city to rank higher—but per capita, Sydney lands in the middle. That doesn’t mean the Harbour City is innocent.
Sydney’s long commutes, demanding jobs, and overstretched relationships create the perfect environment for private emotional or physical connections. Parramatta, Bondi, and Chatswood are among the busiest areas for discreet meetups on affair apps in Australia.
A diverse dating culture fuels everything from anonymous messaging to fully planned affairs.
#4 — Perth
Perth is often known for its relaxed lifestyle, but behind that calm exterior is a city buzzing with discreet activity. Geographic isolation plays a role—people feel safer pursuing an online affair when social circles overlap less.
Perth also ranks #1 for women in our gender-specific breakdown, showing that many women here are seeking emotional or intimate experiences outside long-term relationships.
#3 — Melbourne
Melbourne’s nightlife, creative communities, and digitally active culture all feed into a strong cheating ecosystem. User hotspots include St Kilda, Southbank, and Fitzroy—some of the busiest per square kilometre in Australia.
Many Melburnians use cheating platforms as a way to escape routine relationships or explore excitement missing at home. Melbourne also ranks in the Top 3 for both men and women, making it one of the most balanced affair cities in the country.
#2 — Adelaide
Adelaide’s #2 ranking surprises many, but the data doesn’t lie. In a socially tight-knit city, public affairs are risky—so people turn to digital, anonymous spaces like Sasha7.
Adelaide women are especially active, ranking #2 for women nationally. Many describe feeling emotionally stuck in long-term relationships and use online platforms to reconnect with excitement, validation, or intimacy.
#1 — Canberra
And finally, the city with the highest cheating activity per capita: Canberra.
High-pressure jobs, political culture, frequent travel, and intense work demands all contribute to emotional disconnects in relationships. In this environment, the anonymity of a cheating platform becomes incredibly appealing.
People in Canberra often compartmentalize their private lives, with many describing affairs as a way to release stress or escape public pressures. Canberra ranks #1 for men and #3 for women, making it Australia’s most unfaithful city overall.
After the Reveal: What Sasha7’s VP Has to Say
Now that the rankings are clear, the context makes more sense:
“It’s no surprise Canberra tops this list. Wherever politicians gather, cheating seems to follow. Our data shows capital cities in Brazil, the US, and Canada all punch well above their weight in users per capita too.” — Sasha Correia, Vice-President
Gender Differences: Men vs Women
The overall rankings tell one story, but men and women behave very differently. Here’s how the top cities shift:
Top Affair Cities for Men
- Canberra
- Brisbane
- Melbourne
Men tend to seek convenience, anonymity, and excitement—often driven by work stress or emotional disconnects at home.
Top Affair Cities for Women
- Perth
- Adelaide
- Canberra
Women often describe seeking emotional validation, passion, or connection—things they feel are missing in long-term relationships.
When combined, these gender trends help explain why the national Top 7 looks the way it does.
Final Thoughts
The rise of online affairs, cheating websites, and platforms connecting married women looking for fun shows a larger shift in how Australians navigate relationships today. Whether driven by boredom, emotion, stress, or curiosity, Australians in these seven cities are seeking discreet connections at higher rates than anywhere else in the country.
Sasha7’s growth in Australia reveals more than numbers—it reveals where people are quietly living double lives.
