Being tied up with handcuffs or getting blindfolded might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s no denying that BDSM is a growing trend. And even if you’re not a regular partaker in bondage, we’re sure it’s peaked you’re interest. So now sex toy retailer Lovehoney has dug deep into the sex habits of Aussies to find out which sadomasochistic acts arouse men and women the most.
According to the online store, nearly three quarters of women who indulge in bondage have spanking at the top of their list. Meanwhile, men are more likely to want to be blindfolded (66 per cent) during sex.
For males, spanking (65 per cent) and tying each other up (64 per cent) also ranked highly while nipple play (63 per cent) and biting (52 per cent) wrapped up the top five.
