We never thought that a landscaper booking website would publish a study about the horniest cities in the United States, but 2021 apparently had more surprises in store for us.
LawnStarter says it ranked the libido levels of 200 U.S. cities by “nine key indicators of sexual arousal,” including proportion of single residents, Google search interest in adult content, and sales of sex toys.

To measure the thirst of each metropolis, the researchers culled data from All Swingers Clubs, Eventbrite, Google Trends, Innerbody Research, Lovehoney, U.S. Census Bureau, and Yelp.
The results? The horniest cities in America, according to the survey, are:
- Paradise, Nevada
- Orange, California
- Hollywood, Florida
- Providence, Rhode Island
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Fort Lauderdale, Florida
- Newark, New Jersey
- Dayton, Ohio
- Tempe, Arizona
- Baltimore, Maryland
Paradise, Nevada, has more sex shops and adult entertainment venues than any other city, according to LawnStarter, while Providence, Rhode Island, sells the most sex toys out of the cities surveyed. LawnStarter also notes that California and Florida cities dominate the top 10 in all nine metrics, crediting those states’ standout sex drives to “sand, sweat, skin, and sangria.”

And then there’s the bottom 10 — and in this case, we don’t mean “bottom” in the good sense.
- Omaha, Nebraska
- McKinney, Texas
- Naperville, Illinois
- Plano, Texas
- Brownsville, Texas
- Laredo, Texas
- Amarillo, Texas
- Cape Coral, Florida
- Frisco, Texas
- Midland, Texas
Um, can someone check on Texas, please?

Re : The bottom 10 (according to the above article ) least horniest cities in the USA … 6 of the 10 are in Texas. I from Houston , TX which I can personally attest is a VERY horny place.. We have quite a number of “arcades ” aka bookstores / sex toy /accoutrements / paraphernalia shops /stores … etc,etc,etc… The metrics utilized in the LawnStarter ( who knew ??? ) study skewed results one way..When the metrics are changed the results are different.. Obviously the people in the “bottom 10” Texas cities aren’t getting it in often enough…. They need to catch up…

Also from Houston & totally agree. No idea what they base this on, but Damn. I did live in the Dallas area from 99- 2004, my sex life sucked there. So may be it is accurate for North TX.

Perhaps other metrics to consider are rates of STDs, specifically HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and syphilis, and the number of people actively seeking hookups on apps such as A4A, Grindr, Scruff, BarebackRT, Bareback, Daddyhunt, Silverdaddies, Jack’d, Growlr, Manhunt, and about 10 more who’s names I can’t recall at the moment!

Perhaps you need to learn to differentiate between your agenda and reality (in this specific case the article presented here).
1. Your choice of sites is specifically gay, the study is very, very, very obviously not specifically gay.
2. You seem to conflate having sex with not being aware of steps one can take to prevent STDs…a rather stupid assumption.
3. While the study’s choice of metrics is questionable, your obvious notion that gay promiscuity is the source of all things evil is way more than questionable. Contemptible and stupid is more like it.

they actually did look at those metrics if you view the report on their web site

ummm queerty are you going to explain why a lawn care company is conducting this research? seems like a pretty important detail to leave out

the article on the lawn starter site refers to providence as a “gay mecca” — not sure if that’s true, maybe they were thinking of provincetown?

I have gotten laid in Austin and San Antonio several times. Great bath houses in both cities. Does that count?
