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.

Meanwhile, women fared similar: tying each other up (67 per cent) and blindfolds (66 per cent) were amongst the top activities with nipple play (64 per cent) and biting (62 per cent) rounding out the list. 

While Aussies have their preferences on how they want to get hot and heavy in the sheets, turns out there are also hotspots for submissive sex. These are Australia's top 10 places for bondage: 

1. Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, New South Wales

2. Sunshine Coast, Queensland

3. Mildura, Victoria

4. Geelong, Victoria

5. Perth, Western Australia

6. Bendigo, Victoria

7. Lismore, New South Wales

8. Coffs Harbour, New South Wales

9. Gladstone, Queensland

10. Ballarat, Victoria

To celebrate the growing interest in BDSM, Lovehoney has teamed up with Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L. James to create a themed sextoy range. 

"They’ve built on everything fans loved about the previous pleasure collections to create a thrilling new selection of erotic and stylish adult toys, designed to bring lovers of the Fifty Shades trilogy more pleasure and intimacy into their romantic lives,”  says James.

“Though the story of Christian and Ana was concluded for now in Fifty Shades Freed, the thrill of the red room continues to inspire and excite consumers around the world," adds Lovehoney product director, Bonny Hall.

“The products are designed for fans of the Fifty Shades books who want to inject some mystery and intrigue into the bedroom.”
