Which U.S. States Are the Most Sexually Curious?

Which States Are the Naughtiest, Horniest & Most Sexually Curious? We Now Have the Answers

The Story

Which U.S. state is most interested in sex?

Twenty years ago, if you wanted to know the answer to a question like that, you’d be forced to rely on pure conjecture. But today, access to search engine data will do the trick.

Well, wonder no more — British online bed retailer MattressNextDay thinks it has the answer, thanks to a recent study.

The Snapshot

According to the study, New York is the most sexually curious state, narrowly beating out California with a little over 197 sex-related searches per 10,000 residents. Texas, Georgia and Colorado round out the top five, with Utah missing out by the slimmest of margins — perhaps surprisingly, given its chaste reputation. 

Granular data on what residents of each state are searching for showed some fascinating results: Georgians lead when it comes to butt plug searches (8.96 per 10,000 residents) while Arkansans were first when it came to strap-on sex (1.92 per 10,000).

And they weren’t kidding when they said Virginia was for lovers: Virginians lead the union with a whopping 20.78 searches for BDSM per 10,000 residents.

The Lesson

If you’re curious to learn more about sex, you might be too shy to ask questions of someone you know in real life. So why not turn to the seemingly all-knowing internet? It could help explain things like popular kinks and fetishes or how to choose the best condoms or even show you illustrations of different sex positions!

It is fascinating then to see aggregate data on the questions Americans have about sex and how they break down by state.

It might even be something that could be used to help guide sex education policy at some point in the future, to help address questions before people even need to search for them.
