Mobile firm Lazeeva has conducted a huge survey of 450,000 participants to find the most sex positive city on earth.

Lazeeva make apps designed for sexual fulfilment, described by its makers as:

Lazeeva is your gateway to a joyful universe. 100% positive pleasure, just a fingertip away.

Applying science to sex is their thing, so they surveyed people from 200 cities, drawing from this pool a top 100 to find the most sexually positive cities in the world.

Participants in the survey were aged 18-70.

Scores were combined from the following categories: Sexually active, sexually experimental, sexually satisfied, sex toy consumption, porn consumption, adult entertainment, swingers score, access to contraception, LGBT friendliness, and gender equality.

In addition to the survey, the scores and list were based on existing data from the United Nations and the World Health Organisation.

The survey also looked at the top porn search terms for each city.

Paris had the highest score for sex positivity at 86.5.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was the most sexually active city. They were also the most sexually experimental.

To indy100's smut analysis unit (me) that means they're trying it a lot of different ways, a lot, possibly suggesting the experiments are one offs.

Here's the top 10 most active:

  • Rio de Janeiro
  • Paris
  • Los Angeles
  • Ibiza Town
  • London (I say!)
  • Berlin
  • Santiago
  • Prague
  • New York City
  • Johannesburg

Despite having less sex, the people of Antwerp, Belgium have the most satisfying sex in the world - or so they claim.

Chengdu, China, came bottom for sexual satisfaction score.

Here's the top 10. Sadly nothing from Britain. Damn you Brexit.

  • Antwerp
  • Warsaw
  • Brussels
  • Amsterdam
  • Rotterdam
  • Utretcht
  • Ghent
  • Sao Paulo
  • Rio de Janeiro
  • Los Angeles

Highest Porn Consumption

LA's other film industry is porn. As well as where much of porn watched in the US is made, LA also has the highest consumption rate.

The most searched for porn term in the city was 'Massage'.

The places watching the least porn were Belgrage (Serbia), Havana (Cuba), and Prague (Czech Republic).

  • Los Angeles
  • New York City
  • Toronto
  • Miami
  • San Francisco
  • Shanghai
  • Vancouver
  • Austin
  • Oslo
  • Montreal

Obviously these were surveys, so it relies on people not being bashful about their pornography watching habits.
