The States That Ask Google the Most Questions About Sex

According to a December 2025 report on American sexual curiosity, Utah residents search for sex-related information more than anyone else in the country. The study by the adult toy shop Babeland examined all 50 states based on how often people look up topics online about intimacy and sex.

• Utah residents search for sex-related information at the highest rates, looking up adult topics nearly 95,000 times each month.

• The Mountain West region shows the highest sexual curiosity, with North Dakota, Wyoming, and South Dakota all ranking in the top five.

• Alaska residents check sex-related topics online frequently and have intimate encounters 3 times every week, far more often than most Americans.

The research looked at Google search data across all 50 states to understand where Americans are most actively looking for sex-related information. The study tracked five types of search interest: "sex positions," "sexting," "sex store," "improve sex," and "libido booster." Each state's search volume was calculated per 100K residents to account for population differences. The study also examined how often residents report having sex per week and their average satisfaction levels to provide a fuller picture of intimate life across America.

Here's a look at the top 10 most sexually curious states in the US:

• Total monthly searches: 94,120

• Most searched topic: Sex positions (60,540 searches)

• Sex per week: 1.28 times

Utah takes first place as America's most sexually curious state. Residents here search for sex-related topics about 2,641 times per 100K people, the highest rate in the country. They also report having sex about once per week on average, which is pretty common for a lot of Americans. When it comes to satisfaction, most Utahns rate their sexual experiences 4.08 out of 10, roughly in line with what people in other states report.

2. North Dakota

North Dakota comes second with residents looking up sex-related information nearly as often as Utah. The state sees about 21,000 searches each month on these topics, with most of the people checking information about sex positions. Like Utahns, the North Dakota residents report having sex once per week, although many feel less satisfied with their intercourse, rating it 3.65/10. 

3. Wyoming

Wyoming ranks third among the most sexually curious states. Residents here check sex-related topics 15,000 times every month, mostly asking questions about sex positions. People in Wyoming also have intimate encounters more often than those in Utah or North Dakota. Plus, the majority say they’re satisfied with their sex lives, giving it an average rating of 5.7 out of 10.

4. South Dakota

South Dakota follows with roughly 22,000 people searching for sex-related content each month. Residents here also report having sex about once per week, similar to what people in North Dakota say. However, most South Dakotans feel more satisfied with their intimate lives than their southern neighbors, rating their experiences 5.86 out of 10.

5. Nevada

Nevada rounds out the top five states most curious about sexual matters. More than 76,000 residents look up sex-related topics every month here, with many checking sex store locations along with information about different sex positions. Respondents in Nevada say they usually have sex once a week, and when asked how satisfied they feel, they give it a 5 out of 10. 

Lisa Finn, sex expert at Babeland, commented on the study: 

“High search interest around sexual topics is a positive thing. It suggests people want to learn more, try new things, and better understand what works for them - and is not necessarily an indicator that something is wrong. That said, when someone is searching because of a real concern, it is important not to rely solely on what you find online. Seeking information is great, but on the internet can be tricky - especially when it comes to sex - which is why it is so important to seek out trusted sites, sources, and experienced sex educators for these answers. When questions involve well-being or health concerns, talking directly with a professional can give you answers that actually fit your situation, especially given how personal and unique sexual experience is.”
