Way to Sleep Around, SoCal: Two Local Cities Among Most Promiscuous in Nation

One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership 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.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
