List: Top Ten Regions for Sex Toys Spend in the UK
Date: October 2009
Source: LoveHoney.co.uk
Base: All UK regions of 10,000 persons and above spending money on sex toys (vibrators, dildos and male masturbators), bondage gear, bedroom lingerie, sexy costumes, condoms, lubricants, erotic books, sex games, rude food and sexual health products.
Notes: From the website: "First we took an anonymous sample of more than 500,000 orders placed at LoveHoney. Then we aggregated the data into regions that match the population statistics from the UK Census. We divided the amount of money spent in each region by the number of people who live there to tell us the average spend per head on all sex products."
