Talking Kinky In The Metro

Map reveals the kinkiest cities in the UK with an unexpected winner | Metro News

Nestled in the southernmost county of Cornwall sits the newly crowned BDSM capital of the UK.

The city of Truro, known for its unique cathedral and cobbled streets, has some very raunchy locals who have googled the term BDSM more than anywhere else in England.

In fact, with 3,074 searches each month per 10,000 people, the Cornish are keen to explore bondage, domination, sadism and masochism – we’re blushing.

These southern ladies and gents actually search for BDSM and related terms over four times as much as the national average!

While Truro is dominating the rankings, research by podcast Talking Kinky found that the Cambridgeshire city of Ely isn’t far behind.

It may look quaint perched on the riverside, but the residents of Ely are anything but reserved, with 2,839 searches per 10,000 people. With a population of just 20,000 that’s more than 5,000 searches a month.
