At any given moment in L.A. there are 170,000 people engaged in sexual intercourse, which is more than any other U.S. city, according to a new study by the Center for Progressive Sex Research (CPSR).
“Prostitutions rings, the epic center of the porn industry, and the ubiquitous celebrity sex tape are all major forces in bringing this number so high,” said CPSR Director Ed Goodman. “But our research has also found that there is no way L.A. could gain this title without the regular Joe’s copulating at the rate they do.”
In fact, even when accounting for population, L.A. still has the second highest rate per capita of people having sex at close to 5 percent of the population. The number one spot being the town Iluya, Alaska where the merciless cold and dark send people indoors to have an astonishing 25 percent sexual engagement.
“The California free love sex spirit has never really dwindled here in L.A.,” said renowned sex doctor Drew Pinsky. “People are still screwing like it’s the 1970’s but now we use protection.”
While L.A. took the top prize other top contenders included New York, Chicago, and Miami. Las Vegas was a notable absence in the top ten, however, it ranked highest in blowjobs and third best in contraceptive use. L.A. was fifth in blowjobs and fourth in contraceptive use.
“There are a plethora of reasons for having sex from financial gain to just sheer enjoyment,” said CPSR Director Goodman. “L.A. should be very proud of itself.”
