When it comes to first dates, some people are all for jumping into bed while others prefer to take things slow and build an emotional connection first. It's a personal preference that varies from city to city. Interestingly enough, one city that doesn't make the list of those most likely to have sex on the first date is London.
So which city takes the top spot for the most first date hookups? It's none other than Belfast, the capital of Northern Island. According to a survey by Pour Moi, a whopping 30% of couples in long-term relationships in Belfast had sex on their first date. Perhaps it's the city's reputation for being "hospitable" that makes it a popular spot for first date flings.
But Belfast isn't the only city where residents are open to getting intimate on the first date. Glasgow, Newcastle, Sheffield, and Nottingham also made the list. In fact, Scotland's second largest city, Glasgow, came in at a close second with over 27% of couples admitting to having sex on their first date.
If you find yourself in Belfast looking for some first date inspiration, a visit to The Crown Bar is a must. This historic watering hole, which first opened its doors in the 1850s, is known for its Victorian charm and delicious drinks. And if you're in Glasgow, you can't go wrong with a romantic dinner at Mowgli or a cozy pub date at Waxy O'Connor's.
While some cities may be more open to sex on the first date, others prefer to wait. In a survey by Lovehoney, almost half of Brits admitted to having sex on a first date, with men being more likely than women. But for those who choose to wait, reasons include not feeling comfortable with a stranger or wanting an emotional connection before getting intimate.
One city that prefers to wait is Newcastle, known for its party scene. But even in this lively city, only 26.9% of couples in long-term relationships had sex on their first date. On the other end of the spectrum, Leeds, Cardiff, and Birmingham are the cities least likely to have sex on the first date.
No matter where you are, there's no right or wrong when it comes to sex on the first date. It's all about what feels right for you and your potential partner. So whether you're in a city where it's more common or one where it's less so, just remember to always prioritize your own comfort and boundaries.
And if you do find yourself in one of these cities, perhaps you can take your date to The Ubiquitous Chip in Glasgow or The Crown Bar in Belfast for a romantic and magical evening. Who knows, it might just lead to a fairytale first date and a steamy night between the sheets. But at the end of the day, the most important thing is to have a connection with your date, whether it's on the first night or after a few more dates.
