Lexington, consolidated with Fayette County and often denoted as Lexington-Fayette, is the second-largest city in Kentucky and the 60th-largest city in the United States. By land area, Lexington is the 28th largest city in the United States. Known as the “Horse Capital of the World,” it is the heart of the state’s Bluegrass region. With a mayor-alderman form of government, it is one of two cities in Kentucky designated by the state as first-class; the other is the state’s largest city of Louisville. In the 2016 U.S. Census Estimate, the city’s population was 318,449, anchoring a metropolitan area of 506,751 people and a combined statistical area of 723,849 people. Due to constant increases in population, Lexington suffers some of the worst traffic congestion in Kentucky, because two interstates bypass the city to the north and east, resulting in a lack of freeways going through the most populated areas of the city.

Methodology: How We Measured The Kinkiest Cities In The Bluegrass State
In order to rank how kinky a city is, we simply had to see which cities in Kentucky purchased the most sex toys from online erotic adult toy and novelty powerhouse Adam & Eve. They provided us with purchase information in 2015.
It’s pretty easy to figure it out, actually, when you know the cities in Kentucky are buying adult toys.
Saturday Night Science at its finest — there’s no better way to solve this argument at a bar.
We calculated all the data on a per capita basis, meaning these are orders on a per-person basis, not a raw number of total dollars spent or number of orders. That keeps us from ranking the largest cities at the top since they have the most people.
Additionally, we only looked at the 66 places in Kentucky with over 5,000 people.
The kinkiest cities in Kentucky based on this methodology are London, Elizabethtown, Mayfield, Morehead, Covington, Florence, Somerset, Owensboro, Mount Washington, and Lexington-Fayette urban county.
