Kink.com Releases List of The Most Popular Sex Toys, By State

Want to know what the top fetish in your neighborhood is? Look at the data. Using sales information from their online store and eponymous product line, Kink.com has released sales data for all 50 states, as part of an ongoing look at the kinkiest places in the United States.

"Adult companies are able to provide an honest, unique and broad-based look at sex and sexuality, based on what users actually do and buy, rather than what they tell researchers," said Mike Stabile, spokesperson for Kink.com. "Using our data, we looked at the top selling toys in each of the fifty states, to try and determine what really drives people sexually in different areas of the country."

Liberal states like California, home to Los Angeles (#1 in the Kinkiest Cities survey this year) and San Francisco (#4), and New York (home to #2, NYC), favor electro-stimulation tools, such as the "TAZapper."

Anal toys, including butt plugs and prostate massagers, dominated in conservative states like Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Kansas.

Maryland, home to much of the D.C. (#8) political class, favors penis pumps.

Rust belt states, like Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin and Illinois, tend to favor extreme restraint, like chastity cages and hoods, while Mid-Atlantic states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania like whips and floggers.

Vibrating wands like Hitachi Magic Wand are popular regardless of a state's electoral orientation.

Kink.com is the world's largest producer of BDSM and fetish entertainment. In 2016, Kink partnered with Doc Johnson to develop a high-end BDSM and fetish line to better serve kinky communities around the world.
