Nobody was expecting this news, but here it is: Sydney has been ranked among one of the world’s most seductive and kinky cities.

Courtesy of some investigation from The Bottle Club, we’ve been gifted with a list of cities around the world that “radiate sexual energy, serve up sensual menus and allow you to indulge in your deepest, darkest desires.”

Only one Australian city is in the top 20, with Sydney coming in at a respectable ninth place. London made first place, followed by Las Vegas, New York, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Berlin, and Toronto. Have a gander at the full list below.

What criteria did they use? We’re so glad you asked.

Seductiveness was measured via the following categories: number of strip clubs, number of sex events, number of kinky people, number of porn stars, number of one-star hotels, number of people on OnlyFans, number of restaurants that sell champagne, and number of restaurants that sell oysters. Personally, we’re very confused about the oyster restaurants criterion. Is this a weird sex thing? No one answer.

The Bottle Club also did a deep dive into cheating cities in the UK, adding that the country is a “hotspot for promiscuity and affairs.” Who knew? London, Birmingham and Nottingham were found to be the most affair-ridden cities, while Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Milton Keynes are apparently the most faithful.

Sydney was also crowned the world’s 10th kinkiest city, this time using criteria that included number of sex events and number of people on OnlyFans.
