Let’s be honest, hooking up with another traveller really isn’t that hard. You’re both running around with the same carefree mind-set and both up for trying something new – YOLO right.
The real challenge comes into place when you’re trying to ‘unite’ with one of the locals. It takes more than just feeling confident in your own skin and batting your eyelashes at every Tom, Angelica and Jamie – you need to be in a city of people who are relatively relaxed when it comes to sexual relations.
Something that could really help with that and practically guarantees you a holiday fling, is booking a trip to one of the most ‘sexualised cities in the world’, and just in case you’re wondering, yes, a study has been done to narrow these destinations down for you.
Lazeeva, creators of adult-entertainment apps, did the dirty work by travelling to 200 cities across the globe to determine just how open their citizens are towards sex. This meant, researching their attitudes towards a number of factors including adult entertainment and swingers culture as well as determining whether they’re accepting of the LGBT community and equal rights for everyone.
So where are these sexualised beings hiding?
Well, the City of Love and Romance aka Paris was named the most sex-positive destination around the world for scoring “exceptionally well” in the swingers culture and adult entertainment sectors.
Shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise because hello, Moulin Rouge.
Then there’s Rio de Janiero, which outperformed all other cities in the sexually experimental and sexually active categories.
It must help to be home to one of the largest carnival celebrations in the world where men and women freely express themselves through dance and revealing costumes.
Following on from France and Brazil’s Capitals is London, where it was found to be the best city for LGBT friendliness.
Rounding off the top five in fourth and fifth place were Los Angeles and Berlin, while New York, Sao Paulo, Las Vegas, Ibiza Town and Amsterdam completed the list of the top 10 most sexualised cities.
For local flings, Aussies are more likely to encounter sexually open people in Melbourne, which landed the 17th spot on the list, while Auckland was 23rd, followed by Sydney in the 47th spot, Brisbane 50th and Perth 57th.
