Every community, no matter how big or small, has another that it uses as a measuring stick. For Vancouver, that community is Toronto. We’ve long looked at it as our natural national rival (sorry, Calgary) and regarded it with varying degrees of envy, resentment, and superiority. We’re not above feeding that fire, either. That’s why we polled Toronto residents on the same question that we asked people in Vancouver. And as the results show, the two cities have some pretty stark differences on a few aspects of their bedroom behaviour.Vancouverites, for example, are a bit more willing to be sexually adventurous than their buttoned-down central Canadian counterparts. When it comes to open relationships, sex with a co-worker, sex with a co-worker at the office, and sexting, we’re far more inclined to be open-minded than the average Torontonian. But there’s a catch: for all of our adventurousness and open-mindedness, we seem to be less satisfied with our sex lives than Torontonians.
