Forget Paris or Rome. If you're desperately seeking sex, head to San Antonio or Cincinnati instead.
Residents of these metros enjoy vigorous sex lives — at least their condom and contraceptive purchases at grocery and drug stores indicate as much. These purchases placed them in the top 10 of a survey of America's Most Lustful Cities.
In the absence of government or academic research on the sexual practices of Americans in the country's 50 largest cities, the market proved to be the best place to provide answers. Research firm ACNielsen provided a per-capita index of over-the-counter contraceptive purchases in major U.S. markets for the past 52 weeks. The average index was 100.
Denver topped the list with an index of 289, which translates into 189 percent more contraceptives sales than normally expected for a market its size. Other cities that ranked in the top 10 were Seattle, Washington, D.C. and Salt Lake City. Metropolitan areas one might expect to see ranked, like New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, had average or below average indexes.
Though condom and contraceptive sales are an imperfect way of measuring sexual desire — this is especially true for monogamous couples and those in same-sex relationships — they do provide a broad picture of sexual activity in each city.

I'm so proud! And just in time for the Democratic National Convention, too!
