With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today.

If you're looking to get lucky this weekend, science suggests that you head to San Diego or San Bernadino. According to an OK Cupid survey, the two SoCal cities are among the most promiscuous in the country.

CBS News reports that San Diego slid into the list at #9, while San Bernadino eased it's way on at #7. Our neighbors to the north made an impressive showing as well: San Francisco is the 5th most promiscuous city in the country, and Portland is #1 (of course -- get a job, Portland).

The report comes on the heels of another study, notes CBS, that shows that Americans are among the most careless when it comes to having unprotected sex. So let's just all keep in mind that if we're going to maintain our proud legacy of most promiscuous area in the nation, we should always wrap it up before getting down.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
