By Colombo Telegraph<\/a><\/span> –<\/strong><\/p>\n

With over 2400 million internet users worldwide<\/a><\/span>, Sri Lanka has managed to secure the\u00a0number one slot for searching the term \u2018sex\u2019 globally<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka became the 100 in the Search\u00a0Volume Index<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Not many will doubt that one of the most sought after keyword on Internet is \u201csex\u201d. And Sri Lankans, it seems, are the most search savvy when it comes to Googling that term.<\/p>\n

This is according to Google Trends, a public web facility that shows how often a particular search-term is entered relative to the total search-volume across various regions of the world, and in various languages.<\/p>\n

Second-placed India is not far behind in search for the term, and so isn\u2019t (surprise, surprise) #3 Papua New Guinea and #4 Ethiopia even as Pakistan completes the Top 5 nations that Googled for \u2018sex\u2019 in 2012.<\/p>\n

According to Google Trends, search for the term peaked in Sri Lanka during the week April 15-21, 2012, even as the partial data for the current week (December 23-29, 2012) shows it as second-highest week during which the term was Goggled in 2012.<\/p>\n

In India, people most Googled for the term during the week November 11-17, 2012 while the week October 21-27, 2012, wasn\u2019t far behind.<\/p>\n

When it comes to breaking down the data by cities, however, India\u2019s Bangalore tops the charts for people Googling the term \u2018sex\u2019 in 2012.<\/p>\n

In fact, the top 5 slots are all Indian cities \u2013 Bangalore is followed by Chennai, Pune New Delhi and Calcutta, in that order.<\/p>\n

And mind you, this is a worldwide list \u2013 not the list of Indian cities most searching for the term. Pakistan\u2019s Lahore is at No. 6 while the next two \u2013 Chandigarh and Mumbai \u2013 are again Indian cities, followed by Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi, both in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Below are the \u2018rankings\u2019 for 2012, as of December 26, 2012.<\/p>\n
