Since the 1950s ended, most of America has let its guard down and people have become a whole lot kinkier.
Searches for sex online are at an all-time high, and with sexting, flexting, and every other new way of communicating our desires online, it’s pretty clear that we can’t get enough.

Methodology: How We Measured The Kinkiest Cities In The Pine Tree State
In order to rank how kinky a city is, we simply had to see which cities in Maine 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 Maine 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 18 places in Maine with over 6,000 people.
The kinkiest cities in Maine based on this methodology are Portland, Saco, Caribou, Ellsworth, Bangor, Lewiston, South Portland, Augusta, Presque Isle, and Belfast.
