North Dakota Is Secretly One Of America’s Kinkiest States

Are North Dakotans Kinky?

I recently came across some interesting data concerning the bedroom habits of the Peace Garden State. I guess I would've thought we would have ranked pretty low when it comes to sexual exploits, considering our reputation for being a boring or bland state. I mean, how many times have you heard, "There is nothing to do here"? As it turns out, couples are making their own fun.

Fifty Shades of Green

According to statistics from Say It With A Condom, North Dakota ranks as the 5th most Kinky State in the USA. This is based on a new study in 2026 that ranked all 50 states by their adult habits, sex frequency, and adult retail density to find the most sexually adventurous places in America.

Only Vermont, Arkansas, Oregon, and New Mexico finished before us (maybe I should rephrase that line).

The North Dakota Wild Side

Online curiosity is massively active in our state, with residents logging an impressive 1,046 specific kink searches per 10k people.

Other findings include:

North Dakota's high ranking is also strongly supported by digital interest in adult entertainment, with 4,219 content searches per 1K people.

When it comes to specific preferences, BDSM is North Dakota's favorite online curiosity with 18,800 searches, followed closely by virtual sex (14,250) and Swinging (13,500).

We also like our adult book stores, with 4.9 of them per 1 million adult residents. We have one not far from us in Mandan.

The state also craves physical intimacy, with an average weekly sex frequency of 1.09 times per week. That stat doesn't seem all that impressive to me. Just sayin'.

There you have it. It doesn't matter what you are into, but sexual activity is a normal and healthy activity that has many benefits to your overall well-being. I guess North Dakotans are not so innocent; the prairie just got a little spicier.
