Revealed: The hottest sex kinks in every British city – including ‘jeans’ and ‘smoking’
You may have heard of a foot fetish, but what about a kink for pantyhose, socks, and even jeans?
It turns out these are some of the most popular sexual fantasies Brits are searching for online, according to a popular adult video site, which hosts more than 8 million x-rated clips.
The website conducted an intriguing analysis of what its 250,000 daily users search for, breaking down the results by British city.
The deep dive into the site’s millions of searches this year has revealed that ‘giantess’ – which describes the desire to be caught by a female ‘giant’ – is still the most popular search query in Britain.
But locally, other unusual trends have soared in popularity.
A popular kink in Brighton is ‘smoking’, which means that users enjoy watching sexual content that involves people lighting up a cigarette.
Meanwhile, people in Birmingham and Nottingham are fans of boobs, most often searching for ‘cleavage’ and ‘big boobs’.
Those in Cambridge fantasize about being ‘cheated on’ – seeing your partner with someone else, while in Oxford people go wild about ‘burping’.

In Liverpool, ‘biting’ was the most searched for fetish, while in Sheffield people were interested in ‘spanking’.
People from Edinburgh were fans of ‘sissy’; content that shows the reversal of traditional male and female gender roles.
Belfast residents landed on perhaps one of the most unusual kinks – ‘socks’ – while Londoners have a habit of searching for ‘pantyhose’ and ‘feet’.
Similarly, those in Leeds were found to be fans of a ‘footjob’ and Geordies in Newcastle-upon-Tyne were into sexual content featuring porn stars wearing ‘jeans’.
Based on sales data from adult site Clips4Sale, foot photos and videos are among the top 10 most desired fetishes, along with “giantess.”
Overall, the top fetishes by country include ‘giantess’ for England and Wales, ‘wrestling’ for Scotland and ‘smoking’ for Northern Ireland.
A separate analysis from earlier this year, which looked back at trends over the past two decades, found that tickle fetishes have been overtaken by searches for more external terms, such as farting and bondage.
The analysis also revealed a host of obscure fantasies harbored by today’s global users, including BBL – a preference for women who have undergone buttock augmentation procedures.

Another little-known modern term is ‘pegging’: the act of a woman penetrating someone, usually a man, with a sex toy.
Meanwhile, “findom” is financial domination, and “JOI” involves an adult creator telling viewers how to practice self-pleasure.
Superheroines – the erotic attraction to characters and archetypes derived from superheroes in comic books – is also a new popular trend.
Bondage is another kink that has become increasingly popular over the past two decades, analysts say.
The term ‘taboo’ is also a mainstay; Studies have shown that for some, the more adult content someone watches, the more extreme the theme needs to be to generate arousal.
Others, such as spitting, choking, and a kink for high heels, are not as popular as they were in 2003, when the site first launched.
Brits are among the most prolific porn users in the world, with an average of 16,600,000 searches for adult content every month.
The adult film industry is estimated to be worth over £15 billion a year.
While thousands of British men and women have no problem viewing and enjoying pornography, around one in twenty British people have a porn addiction.
In some of the most extreme cases, experts have treated patients who watch X-rated content for up to 14 hours a day, according to the nonprofit online therapy program Pivotal Recovery.
However, many who suffer understandably do not seek professional help, out of shame and embarrassment about their condition or fear of exposure.
