When it comes to kinky, the UK has a rich heritage in an \u2018ooh matron\u2019, Carry On movie kind of way \u2013 but is there a difference in kink levels across the country? We took a look at some of our data from our\u00a0Valentines card<\/a>\u00a0sales to figure out exactly which cities are kinky in the UK, and you’ll definitely be surprised at which towns and cities make it into the top tier!<\/p>\n

But before we get into that, why not take a look at some of our favourite Valentine\u2019s cards, designed by our very own thortful card creators?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on the number of\u00a0cheeky Valentine\u2019s card<\/a>\u00a0sales we saw last year, we found the UK\u2019s kinkiest hotspots and we can crown a winner for the UK\u2019s kinkiest town! Take a peek at the results:<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The most kinky UK county is Cornwall<\/h2>\n

Did it come as a surprise to anyone else that our surfing, Cornish-pasty loving southern friends down in Cornwall were actually the cheekiest card givers at Valentine\u2019s, and therefore our kinkiest town in the UK? Only two of our kinky towns are in Northern England, and we only have one town from Scotland in the top 10 too \u2013 therefore, we can confirm that Southerners are definitely the cheekiest lovers as of our stats for 2021!<\/p>\n

Northerners that enjoy a bit of kink are most likely to live in either Durham or Doncaster, which came in third and ninth places respectively; whereas salacious Scots are typically based in Fife, just north of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

Which cities are most likely to send Valentine’s cards?<\/h2>\n

Our data also revealed some sweet stats about the rest of the UK, including the fact that Leeds was definitely the most lovey-dovey town of the UK, having bought the largest volume of Valentines cards out of any town, and City of London has the loneliest hearts with one of the lowest volumes of cards bought! Birmingham bought the highest percentage of love-based cards, whilst South Norfolk and Bromley had the highest volumes of pretty cards purchased.<\/p>\n

Maybe they all invested in our sensual scent sensation<\/a> we launched last year, or maybe took particular care to avoid our top passionate moment killers<\/a> with their partners! We\u2019re not kink-shamers here at thortful, so if you want to bump your town\u2019s profile on next year\u2019s list, why not grab one of our cheeky, rude, or funny Valentine’s cards<\/a>, and if you\u2019re stuck for a saucy message, take a look at our guide on what to write in a Valentine\u2019s card<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
