It’s not quite up there with being named the European Capital of Culture, but Liverpool has landed the dubious title of the UK’s most promiscuous city.

The north-west city beat off stiff competition from Oxford and Newcastle as the place where people are most likely to experience one night stands.

Just over 2,000 single men and women aged 18 and over were asked, ‘Do you have regular one night stands?’ to which 42 per cent of those taking part said ‘yes’.

The study then broke down responses by region of residence in order to reveal the cities home to the ‘most promiscuous’ people in the UK.

Sarah Bailey of UKMedix.com, an online pharmacy specialising in sexual health, said: ‘We wanted to find out a little more about the attitudes that Britons have towards sex.



‘Whatever your sexual preferences, as long as you’re safe and responsible, that’s all that matters.’

Meanwhile, Cardiff was revealed to be the most ‘sexually adventurous’ city.
