Love on the Tyne...

Is all mine, all mine

Published 9th Feb 2015

The most romantic day of the year is nearly upon us. Flowers will be sent, chocolates will be eaten and romantic dinners will be planned. This year however, there’s one event that the people of the North East will be flocking to more than any other; the opening of the new “50 Shades of Grey” film.

One cinema chain has estimated that it has already pre-sold ÂŁ1 million worth of tickets for the flick.

Although us Brits have an image of behaving like the cast of Downton Abbey, in a survey conducted last year, Britain was voted the fourth sexiest country in the world with the UK adult entertainment industry worth an estimated ÂŁ250 million a year!

It’s because of statistics like these that SKYN Condoms want people to embrace their naughty side! Inspired by the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey film, they’ve created a quiz designed to show people how kinky they really are.

Marta Toth, Senior Manager of SKYN Condoms said…

“We all would like easy ways of having better sex, no matter how good it already is. We created our 'How Grey are You' quiz to give people a fun, lighthearted look into their own sexual adventurousness and behaviour, with tips and suggestions on how to take your sex life to the next level”

You can have a go at the quiz by following the link, but beware it’s not for the faint hearted! -
