Britain’s most and least celibate cities are revealed – do YOU live there?

The UK’s most and least celibate cities have been revealed – after research claimed the number of Britons embracing celibacy had increased in the last decade.

Leicester apparently has more individuals abstaining from sex than any other city in Britain, a poll of 2,000 people by dating app Dua.com found.

This followed those in Luton, Romford, Glasgow and Walsall, who also had some of the highest amounts of people wanting to be celibate, according to The Sun.

Meanwhile, Londoners were least likely to decide not to have sex, followed by those living in Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol and Portsmouth.

The study discovered that those abstaining from sex had increased from 12 per cent to 20 per cent in the last decade. 

In Leicester, 28 per cent of those surveyed reportedly admitted they were celibate.

Commenting on the increase, relationship expert Valon Asani said: ‘Celibacy may allow some people to focus on personal growth or other aspects of their lives, such as their careers.’

The expert add: ‘If you are considering celibacy, it’s vital to take the time to reflect on your reasons for doing so. 

‘Are you motivated by spiritual or religious beliefs or a desire to focus on other aspects of your life? Are you seeking to avoid past traumas or emotional complications?

‘It’s important to ensure that celibacy is the right decision for you and that you understand the potential emotional and physical challenges that may come with it.

‘Before making a decision to abstain from sex, taking a breather to explore why you are unhappy in dating can help to identify what you want from a partner and what has been missing previously.’
