With the romantic allure of Valentine's Day in the air, the quest to identify the sexiest city in the United States has taken center stage. This interest often sparks thoughts of enhancing one's allure, and for some, even prompts considerations of moving to where the vibes are just right.
Pure Romance has tallied up their sales figures, including online and through their active Partners nationwide, to crown the sexiest city. The year 2020 saw a remarkable 49.7% increase in sex toy sales, totaling 933,000 items sold by Pure Romance.
According to Pure Romance's CEO and President Chris Cicchinelli, Detroit has emerged as America's sexiest city, based on their sales data. This surge in relationship enhancement products reflects an increased focus on intimacy during more time spent at home over the past year.
However, the spotlight isn't just on U.S. cities; Puerto Rico has dazzled with a whopping $21 million in wellness products and toys sold in 2020, making it arguably the sexiest place of all.
The importance of maintaining sexual and social connections during the pandemic has been underscored by a study from the Indiana University School of Public Health. Those who kept up close social and sexual interactions experienced better mental health outcomes during lockdowns.
Apart from sexual wellness, self-care also took precedence, with beauty and bath products among Pure Romance's top-selling categories. The company's founder, Patty Brisben, highlights the significance of self-care for overall well-being.
