You may have heard of the foot fetish, but what about stockings, socks, and even jeans?
It turns out these are some of the most popular sexual fantasies Brits search for online, according to a popular adult video site, which hosts more than 8 million X-rated clips.
The website carried out an intriguing analysis of what its 250,000 daily users are searching for, stratifying the results by UK city.
Deep diving into the millions of searches on its site this year revealed that “giant”, which describes the desire to be stepped on by a female “giant”, remains the most popular search in the UK overall.
But locally other unusual trends have gained popularity.
A highly searched perversion in Brighton is “smoking”, meaning that users enjoy watching sexual content involving people lighting up a cigarette.
Meanwhile, those in Birmingham and Nottingham are breast fanatics and most frequently search for “cleavage” and “big breasts”.
Those in Cambridge fantasize about being “cuckolded”, seeing their partner with someone else, while in Oxford people go crazy about “burping”.
Adult video site Clips4Sale, which hosts over 8 million X-rated clips, conducted an intriguing analysis of what its 250,000 daily users search for to reveal the most popular issues in each city.
In Liverpool the most sought after fetish was “biting”, while in Sheffield people were interested in “spanking”.
The people of Edinburgh were fans of “ladybug”; Content that features the reversal of traditional male and female gender roles.
Belfast residents were amused by perhaps one of the most unusual problems – “socks”, while Londoners have a habit of searching for “stockings” and “feet”.
Similarly, those in Leeds were found to be fans of a ‘foot job’ and Geordies in Newcastle-upon-Tyne were found to like sexual content featuring porn stars wearing ‘jeans’.
According to sales data from adult site Clips4Sale, foot images and videos are among the top 10 most desired fetishes along with “giant.”
Overall, the top fetishes by country included “giant” in England and Wales, “wrestling” in Scotland, and “smoking” in Northern Ireland.
A separate analysis from earlier this year looking at trends over the past 20 years revealed that tickle fetishes had been overtaken by searches for more outlandish terms, such as farts and bondage.
The analysis also revealed a host of dark fantasies that users around the world have today, including BBL, a preference for women who have undergone butt enlargement procedures.

Another little-known modern term is “pegging,” the act in which a woman penetrates someone, usually a man, with a sex toy.
Meanwhile, ‘findom’ is financial domination and ‘JOI’ involves an adult creator telling viewers how to achieve personal pleasure.
Superheroing (the erotic attraction to characters and archetypes derived from comic book superheroes) is also a popular new trend.
Slavery is another phenomenon that has become increasingly popular over the past 20 years, analysts say.
The term “taboo” is also a mainstay; Studies have shown that, for some, the more adult content a person views, the more extreme the subject matter must be to cause arousal.
Others, such as spitting, choking and high-heel twisting, are not as popular as they were in 2003, when the site first launched.
Britons are among the most prolific users of pornography in the world, with an average of 16.6 million searches for adult content made each month.
The adult film industry is estimated to be worth more than £15 billion a year.
While thousands of British men and women watch and enjoy pornography without problems, approximately one in 20 Britons has a pornography addiction.
In some of the most extreme cases, experts have treated patients who watch X-rated content for up to 14 hours a day, according to the nonprofit online therapy program Pivotal Recovery.
However, many patients understandably avoid seeking professional help out of shame and embarrassment about their distress or fear of exposure.
