Ireland is in the top 20.
Not only do Sweden, Denmark and Greenland have the cold weather in common, they also like purchasing their sex toys. Do the two correlate? Who knows.
The trio sit at the top of the Sex Toy World Rankings (yes that is a thing) beating the likes of the US, UK, Germany and Japan to reign supreme (something you probably wouldn’t write home about).
How are the rankings made? Well, Vouchercloud, looked at 18 popular sex toy search terms including everything from dildos and vibrators to jiggle balls and cock rings, and translated them into every google-available language in order to rank every country around by their sex toy searches.
They must have had some fun trying to translate jiggle balls into all the different languages and it’s fair to say there were some interesting conversations in the Vouchercloud offices while this survey was being carried out.
The fiercely romantic lovers in Sweden, Denmark, USA and, strangely, Greenland were all over 100 in sex toy searches per 1000 internet users respectively.
They were followed closely behind by the UK (96) with the Netherlands (88), Russia (87), Bulgaria (86), Italy (84) and Australia (82) all rounding off the top 10.
Our very own emerald isle came in 19th place with 71 searches per 1000 internet users and unsurprisingly, there are countries with a wholly anti-sexualised culture ranking way down towards the bottom of the list – India (6) lingers in 141st place next to Bangladesh (6), below even the likes of Saudi Arabia (15) in 107th place.
