Here's one for you: The Smuttiest Cities in America
Most porn films may be shot in the L.A. area, but their biggest audience is in Orlando. We know what you're thinking: How can the home of G-rated theme parks be skin-flick central?
It seems that while tourists line up at a kid-friendly fantasy world,
the locals prefer one in which Snow White and the dwarfs whistle while
they... well, you know.
We peered through a statistical peephole
to tabulate the following criteria: the number of DVDs purchased,
rented, or streamed (AdultDVDEmpire.com); adult entertainment stores per
city (StorErotica.net); rate of porn searches (Google Insights); and,
for fans of soft-core, percentage of Cinemax-subscribing households
(SimplyMap). Not only were Orlando folks the randiest residents, but
Florida was also the most salacious state.

Thanks to high-speed Internet, a pornucopia of X-rated flicks is a few clicks away?unless your city is listed here with an asterisk. These places fall into Adult DVD Empire's no-stream category, a restriction companies put in place to avoid being charged with violating community standards. But these standards were meant for mail-order porn, says obscenity law attorney Jeffrey J. Douglas, and shouldn't apply online. Petition your politicians to stop the Net-nannying.

Kids' peeking at Dad's porn stash is so last century. In a U.K. survey, one in four boys (and one in five girls) reported viewing adult-only sites on their phones. Shield your child's eyes with the Mobicip Safe Browser app (mobicip.com, $5, Android or iOS). It uses age-based filtering to block sites and is recommended by the Parents' Choice Foundation.

My Chart My Nest Bio
<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home D
My Grandparents lived in Bakersfield and I used to have to spend a week there during the summer. I swear to void that the ONLY things I did were either swim in the pool (part of their trailer park. I kid you not) or watch TV inside. Said TV was always TCM or soap operas. I hated that week. (Love my grandparents, but we were never especially close, so that didnt help either...)
<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home DDude. Summertime in Fresno we would debate the wisdom of leaving the house to cross the street for a sno cone. There were days when it was too hot to cross the apt complex to get the mail. The apt pool looked like this:
Freaky, freaky Florida!
Hey, we've held the title for a lot of reasons. Now we can keep it a while longer thanks to our love of porn.
Hilariously enough, every day I take 95 in SoFla, my eyes are bombarded with a giant billboard for this weekend's EXXXotica Convention. And there's another billboard for the Hustler store located right across the street from a local high school.
And then there's Tampa, dear old Tampa with its five million strip clubs in a 5-mile radius.
Florida, Florida, Florida.
#56! Shoutout!
We are either going to have to try harder or less hard, because I was secretly hoping we'd be #69.
Sounds like stip clubs aren't even part of the equation. That surprised me. I figured Providence made the list because of the "gentleman's clubs" that everyone comes from Boston to visit.
If it weren't for the g string law a few years ago, I bet Tampa would be number 1.
It wasn't until college that I realized it was not the norm to have strip clubs every where lol.
