In a survey by Trojan Brand Condoms of men and women in the 10 largest metropolitan areas in the US, Houston was getting busy the most at 101 times a year. This number is higher than the average for adults in the 18-49 age range (89 times a year according to the Kinsey Institute as of Jan. 09). And there apparently something about the “Dirty South” since Atlanta and Washington, DC follow, at 88 and 86 humps/year, respectively. BBG's own informal survey supports the numbers, with less than 50% of those responding having sex 5+ times a month. Jeez.

As if the people from “the great state of Texas” weren’t insufferable enough, Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth put Texas over the top for frequency of sex per year (101 and 73 respectively for 1^st and 8^th place) and satisfaction with their sex lives (70% and 63% for 3^rd and 4^th place), in the head-to-head battle (no pun intended) with the state of California. Los Angeles was 4^th in frequency at 82 times a year, but San Francisco was 10^th at 60 times a year; LA was 5^th in satisfaction with 66%, while San Fran was 9^th with 63% satisfaction with the nookie they were getting.

Let’s put this in perspective: at the top of the sweaty sexual heap, Houston is knocking boots less than 2 times a week. This includes those in relationships, which assumes more loving than the average bear (27% of our survey respondents are in relationships). So what does this say about our sexual activity, fellas (New York, we're disappointed, seriously)? You’d think from all the yapping that goes on these numbers would be higher. You know who I'm talking about, the guys who only date dimes (10s), wouldn't touch Jennifer Aniston or Rashida Jones with a 10-foot pole, and must obviously look like LL Cool J or Robert Pattinson, right? Yeah, blogging from your grandma's basement with bottle service and a stripper pole, we're sure. 

Is it too much access? Too many options, now that you don’t have to marry the girl next door, or at least from your hometown?  Now more than ever, you can date and hook up across social, racial and ethnic, and economic boundaries. It seems all of the means of communication, increased numbers of women actively out on the market as players, it would have gotten easier. Women are bringing it (so we hear), so fellas, what gives? We want to hear from you on this, so send an email, contact@bebetterguys.com  and tell us what's up.
