Which U.S. Cities Have The Most Casual Sex?

Unless you're reading this in Portland, the most promiscuous city in the nation, you have some work to do -- at least according to OkCupid.com. The start-up dating site has taken on the envious job of determining which cities are most likely to engage in casual sex. Along the way, they've also compiled some sex-related infographics correlating the mundane and the risque (for instance, a ven-diagram of 'people who eat oatmeal,' and 'people who, like, really go at it').

How were these distinctions awarded? OkCupid told the HuffPost it all ties back to the percentage of users in each city who list "Casual Sex" as one of the relationship types they seek. While we're thrilled two of HuffPost's Locals broke the top 10 (Denver and San Francisco), we're disappointed neither of them grab number one by the... uh, never mind.

This is for Colin P Boyd.......Do you keep up on current events? Your "Hitler-esq" Mayor of NYC decided to ban religious clergy from speaking at the 911 Memorial Service next month at Ground Zero! He also banned smoking outdoors at Central Park, & other outdoor tourist attractions. Just like Hitler Mayor Bloomy loves to ban things! He is very "AUTOCRATIC!"

What a bunch of baloney! Portland is #1 only in self-deprecating sarcasm and skewing the statistics. Just because people check "casual sex" doesn't mean anybody's getting any, they check it for the heck of it because it's already known there's nobody worthy in online ads. And nobody actually cares because the marijuana is so good here... More like #1 at getting ripped, going to the neighborhood strip joint, and programming oneself to believe that he/she just had casual sex :-) I'm straight-edge and don't smoke, so I notice these things... Dammit, when am I gonna get some?

Geeze.....what a wonderful way to be known. Denver...the rest of the U.S. is just so envious. NOT.

The only reason Houston made the list is because down there they think casual is the same as "can't remember".

If casual sex was electricity Las Vegas would never have a power bill! And they didn't rate?

Most people wouldn't consider a month's wages for a minute and a half with a professional to be casual.

Casual means you don't have to play dress-up, right?

Forgot to say the reason NYC isnt on the list is because of its"Hitleresk" Mayor Bloomy.......

I live in Denver, but why would I take OkCupid's word for it? I think I'll go out and do my own research. :-)

It's a shame that #DC didn't make it to the top 10, but makes sense: here people love to pretend but they are freaks behind closed doors, they can't risk that federal position or the corporate lobby portfolio. That's why people here are always look unhappy and worried.
