Have you ever wondered what the most sexually curious states are? Wonder no more! The research is in!

Every state is a little bit different than the next. It could be weather, customs, food, interests, and more! Now, we're learning that not every state is the same when it comes to being sexually curious. Some are more open minded than others it turns out. Some like to get freaky in new and wonderous ways while others like to keep it to the same old routine. With Valentine's Day coming up, it's good to know where your state stands. MattressNextDay conducted a study to find the most sexually curious states in the USA. To find their data, they analyzed more than 5.5 million sex-related Google searches and now we have a look at which states are more vanilla than others and which ones like to get freaky in new and exciting ways. Is your state one of the most sexually curious states in the country?

Analyzing The Most Sexually Curious States

MattressNextDay's research showed that New York was the most sexually inquisitive state in the country. Their data found 197 sex-related searches per 10,000 residents. I guess this makes sense. New York City is a melting pot filled with all sorts of people and that includes the sexually curious.

Coming in at 2nd on MattressNextDay's list is the state of California. Personally, I expected this to be number one on the list. California just seems more open minded and you have the counterculture movement, hippies, and lots of free love types there. It's an easy going state and I would have believed it would have been at the top of the list. Second place isn't bad, I guess. California had lots of searches for BDSM (per MattressNextDay) which would go against my theory thinking it was free love and hippies. BDSM seems to be a different crowd.

Texas comes in at number 3 on the list created by MattressNextDay and that's another surprise for me. When I think of Texas, I don't think of them being very curious. Sure, things are bigger there but I would have guessed that they were more reserved and conservative in the bedroom. It looks like I'm wrong. Texas had a lot of interest in the 69 position, per MattressNextDay.

Georgia and Colorado round out the top 10 on MattressNextDay's list. That's followed by Utah, Nevada, Maryland, Virginia, and Illinois. I'm not surprised Utah made the list. If anything, I would have guessed they'd be a little higher. It seems like they'd be curious about a lot of stuff and doing research online given the culture and psychographics there.

Martin Seeley, CEO of MattressNextDay, says, "Our in-depth analysis not only reveals the diverse interests across states but also highlights a broader trend of sexual curiosity and openness. It's encouraging to see people actively seeking information to enhance their relationships and personal satisfaction. However, it's important to remember that a healthy sex life is closely tied to good sleep habits. As couples explore their interest this Valentine's Day, I encourage them to also prioritize quality rest, which can significantly boost intimacy and overall well-being."

Should have known a mattress and sleep comment was coming given the source, but I can't help but agree. There's no place like bed. See the full list from MattressNextDay here.

Chocolate

Chocolate is probably the first aphrodisiac that comes to mind for most people. Not only is it a great gift for your significant other on Valentine's Day, it also has the power to get you in the mood! According to Simply Chocolate, chocolate contains two chemicals that are linked to arousal: tryptophan and phenylethylamine. So, if you're looking to set the mood you best find some chocolates. You can have many purposes with it in the bedroom. Wink wink.

Oysters

Oysters are not the sexiest food. They are disgusting looking and are pretty difficult to eat. It can be difficult to look attractive while eating oysters. However, it's probably worth it! According to MedicalNewsToday, they contain zinc and other nutrients that may support sexual performance. Is there something about all that slurping that gets people going?

Asparagus

Asparagus is probably most famous for making your pee smell. However, it's also known as an aphrodisiac. According to PETA UK, asparagus is high in Vitamin E which increases blood and oxygen flow to the genitals. It also contains potassium which is important for sex-hormone production. They say to get the best effect, eat the vegetable 3 days in a row. Wow, your pee will be smelling for a while!

Figs

You likely didn't know figs are an aphrodisiac. Many people aren't aware of its secret power. However, the ancient Greeks had it right and understood back then what figs were capable of. Now, it's all backed up by modern science. It turns out figs are filled with minerals like iron that strengthen fertility for men and women, per Kosterina. So, if you're trying to have a baby you should try to load up on some figs!

Strawberries

Strawberries are famous for being a bit of a sexual treat. There's something about feeding your partner a chocolate covered strawberry that can really get the mood going. Even just seeing one it's like, "Aw yah! It's on!" However, it's not just a sexual activity--they're the real deal! Strawberries are another example of an aphrodisiac. According to Allina Health, they contain compounds like capsaicin and antioxidants. They also can enhance bodily sensations and blood flow.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
