It’s thought that roughly 14 million people watch porn online in the UK.

Each viewer will likely have their own sexual preferences, kinks and fetishes, which will impact the kind of content they search for and consume.  

But if you’ve ever wondered how your porn-viewing habits compare to those around you, we’ve now got an answer. 

This is because new analysis has revealed the top 10 hotspots where people in the UK are searching for porn the most, and it’s Newcastle upon Tyne, England’s northernmost city, that’s number one on the list.

The team over at MedExpress have named the top 10 porn hotspots in the UK, where people made the most porn-related searches online over the last year.

The online pharmacy analysed searches for 10 key porn-related terms, including ‘porn’, ‘AI porn’, ‘lesbian porn’, ‘bukkake’ and ‘threesome’ and measured them against per capita data (per person) to compile the list. 

Newcastle was crowned the ‘most porn-obsessed’ city in the UK as it had the most searches per person, with an average of 3.27 Google searches per head, per month.

This works out as a whopping 629,260 Google searches overall on average each month.

This comes after Birmingham was named as one of the kinkiest places in the world

A new study from Australian sexual wellness company Pleasure Chest analysed a number of different variables to come up with the results.

For example, things such as the number of ‘sex toy’ searches, searches for ‘BDSM’, sex toy market sales per capita, the number of sex-related events, and the number of sex shops were all taken into consideration.

These results were then filtered into a ‘kink rank’ which sorted the top global cities for sexual exploration and wellness.

London was the only other UK destination to make the global ranking, edging in just in time at 20th position.
