Sex in the U.S.A

Ever wonder which state in the union has the easiest women? Or which will leave you high and dry? How about our favorite--the state where you have the best odds of scoring? In the 1950s, Alfred Kinsey was the go-to guy for that kind of information. But a lot has changed in the last 50 years. That's why MF decided to turn Kinsey's findings on their proverbial ear, interviewing the exact same number of red-blooded Americans--11,240--and updating his data with our own no-holds-barred, make-you-blush, hardcore sex questions. Gentlemen: Pull the blinds, lock the doors, and grab an atlas. Here's a look at what we found.

For our first report on the nation's current sexual attitudes and behaviors, we partnered with the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S., banstds.com, and a board of nationally recognized doctors, authors, and experts. With the help of our sister mag Shape, we surveyed men and women all over the U.S., asking brazen questions about what rams them on, who cheats (and why), and how satisfied they really are with their sex lives. We then spent months poring over the data and crunching numbers to find out the real deal--the raw truth--about what happens behind closed doors.

A STATE-BY-STATE GUIDE TO HOW AMERICANS ARE GETTING IT ON

STATE WHERE MEN ARE THE BEST LOVERS

South Dakota

Dakota's gals report receiving more oral sex than women in any other state. Maybe that's because Mount Rushmore guys have the greatest concern of all the men we surveyed over whether their partners reach orgasm or whether they truly feel satisfied at the end of a sexual encounter.

STATE WHERE MEN ARE THE WORST LOVERS

New Mexico

Sexual encounters that include oral sex are few and far between for the female residents of the Cactus State. Not that it would matter anyway. More than men in any other state, New Mexico men claim it's just not important to them that their partners reach orgasm during sex.

DIRTIEST STATE

Mississippi

Mudcat state residents get screened for STDs less often than anyone else in America. Perhaps that's because they're also highly reluctant to use condoms. In fact, about the only time you'd find a Trojan in use in Mississippi is if USC were to take on MSU.

SAFEST STATE

Rhode Island

R.I.'s men and women get screened for STDs more often than folks in any other state. They are also the most consistent about using condoms (30% always do), and they're most willing to have honest conversations with their partners about potential STD infections.

STATE WITH THE HORNIEST MEN

Alaska

When a man in Alaska can find a woman, he definitely takes advantage of the situation. Alaskan men report not only getting laid often, they also have the highest overall sex drive and the greatest desire to engage in casual sex of all the men we surveyed.

STATE WITH THE HORNIEST WOMEN

North Dakota

North Dakota women love sex. They're the most receptive to casual sex of all the women we polled. They also masturbate the most and are the most likely to have a sex drive that has increased over the years, rather than decreased, as with the majority of women surveyed. Women of the aptly named Roughrider state also have the least concern of all women in the U.S. over the size of a guy's penis. Big or small--it's all OK by them.

STATE WITH THE MOST WANKERS

Washington, D.C.

In a place where everybody's looking out for their own personal interests, it should come as no surprise that this behavior carries over to their home life as well. Perhaps that's why men in D.C. masturbate more than men anywhere else in the U.S.--30% play with themselves at least every other day.

MOST SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED STATE

Wyoming

Sure, it's beautiful, but combine miles of vast, open space with an incredibly meager population (the lowest in the U.S.) and it's no wonder the men and women of Wyoming claim not only to be incredibly dissatisfied with their sex lives but also to have a hard time finding even a single decent lover.

STATE WHERE WOMEN ARE THE MOST GULLIBLE

Montana

Bonanza indeed! Of all the women we surveyed, Montana's are the most trusting of their men. They have the least problem with their partners cheating and are the least aware of their men spending time with prostitutes.
