It’s the home of Sin City — and a whole lot of raunchy residents.Those looking to spice up their sex life should move to Nevada, which was recently ranked the kinkiest state in the USA, according to a salacious new study by SmutFinder.The site, which uses artificial intelligence to create custom erotic stories, compiled “kink scores” based on five key metrics to look at the steamiest states in the Union.
