Anyway, according to a survey by UK pharmacy Superdrug, these are the most #sexy places in the whole super sexy world. They collected approximately 4.2 million posts, over 375,000 of which had geolocation data. To account for population differences, posts were counted per 10,000 residences, so as to ascertain proportionally accurate data.

“Looking at the top five nations for #sexy Instagram posts per 10,000 residents, you might notice they have something in common: four are islands, and all are coastal – features that typically attract large numbers of vacationing tourists.”
Coming in first is Monaco, a European micronation bordering France with a Mediterranean coastline running along its entire length. This country, covering less than a square mile in total, is also the most densely populated nation on Earth.
In second place is the French territory of the island of Saint Martin in the Caribbean…hosting over a million visitors every year – and much of its coastlines are clothing optional…this territory still has less than a quarter as many such posts as Monaco.”

“The top 20 nations and territories for #sexy Instagram posts show just how thoroughly Monaco eclipses every other location: Even among the top-ranking places, most have only five to 10 such posts per 10,000 residents.
Although many may think of Iceland as a wintry sub-Arctic nation, the country’s tourism has experienced a boom in recent decades, with its natural beauty attracting summer visitors to its geothermal hot springs. Iceland ranks 10th for these posts, with 5.62 per 10,000, illustrating that #sexy Instagram posts are truly a global phenomenon.”

“When it comes to #sexy Instagram pics, European nations show a diverse pattern. Omitting Monaco, which otherwise heavily skewed the rankings, scenic Iceland places first in the region. And Malta, an island off the coast of Italy, ranks No. 17 worldwide and No. 2 in Europe, with 2.97 #sexy posts per 10,000 residents.”
Conversely, not all coastal nations follow the #sexy trend. The Faroe Islands, located off the coast of Britain and bordering the North Atlantic, place No. 46 out of 50 European countries, with only 0.42 #sexy posts per 10,000 residents. Romania and Bosnia, two nations bordering the Black Sea and the Adriatic Sea respectively, come in last at No. 49 and 50.”

“Overall, the United States itself ranks 14th worldwide for #sexy posts, with 3.4 posts per 10,000 residents….Despite the clear trend of coastal appeal, America’s top-ranking state is actually landlocked Nevada, with 15.35 #sexy posts per 10,000 residents….Nevada would place third in the world, between Saint Martin and the Virgin Islands, if it were ranked as a country.”
Elsewhere in the U.S., the results are somewhat more predictable: Florida (8.91 per 10,000), Hawaii (8.02), and California (7.47), all states with extensive coasts, rank No. 2, 3, and 4 in the country.”

“We also looked at a selection of terms you’d expect to see commonly used alongside these pics, such as “women” (including near-synonyms like “girl” and “lady”) and “men” (grouped with terms like “boy” and “guy”) as well as “body,” “legs,” and other physical features.”
Worldwide, use of “women” and related terms in #sexy photos (11,861 total instances) far outnumbers the use of “men” (3,831) by a factor of about 3 to 1. And while “body” is the most frequent physical term we encountered with 1,776 posts, the focus on specific features isn’t always explicitly sexual. Occurrences of the terms “eyes” (736) and “faces” (650) both outranked “legs” (563) and “ass” (536).”

“We’ve seen that mentions of women in #sexy Instagram photos are much more common than mentions of men – so which nations are posting about women the most on Instagram? While world-leader Monaco makes a strong showing in second place with 2.39 such posts per 10,000 residents, it’s the UAE that surges ahead to take first with 3.52 per 10,000. The Faroe Islands, one of the lowest ranked countries in Europe at only 46th place, unexpectedly places No. 6 worldwide for #sexy posts mentioning women with 0.21 per 10,000.”

“Mentions of men in these Instagram posts by first-place San Marino (0.32 per 10,000 residents) are still little more than a tenth of the mentions of women by first-place UAE (3.52). And while islands continue to dominate the top 10 nations for #sexy posts about men, it’s prosperous alpine Liechtenstein…. that comes in second with 0.27 mentions of men per 10,000.”

“Beyond differences between mentions of women and men in #sexy Instagram photos, we also looked at posts that made reference to a sexy body. Unsurprisingly, Monaco places first by far on this measure as well, with 0.27 mentions of sexy bodies per 10,000 residents. But out of the remaining nine, only five also appeared in the global top 20 for #sexy posts. Bermuda, Jamaica, the United Kingdom, and Panama are all overrepresented for specific mentions of sexy bodies in these Instagram pics.”

“We mapped the most commonly used word alongside #sexy out of our selected terms for all countries where data were available. Overwhelmingly, #sexy women are the most prominent in North America, much of South America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Notable exceptions include Brazil, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Ethiopia, where #sexy men were the most mentioned. In Uzbekistan, #sexy bodies are the most commonly mentioned in these Instagram posts, while Bolivia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Namibia focus on #sexy eyes.
11
“Out of 50 states, 37 show women as the most commonly mentioned word from our selected terms alongside #sexy. Largely rural and inland states such as North Dakota, South Dakota, and Arkansas primarily take an interest in #sexy men. However, so does Hawaii; this island location contrasts other states such as Nevada, Florida, and California, which rank highly for overall #sexy Instagram posts. Montana stood out as the only state where posts about #sexy eyes came in first, while Wyoming showed a particular interest in feet, and West Virginia primarily posted about sexy shoulders.”
