BuzzFeed ranked states by how often people there have sex (practical sexiness) and how sexy they are (superficial sexiness). Could be a good reason to move — or at least take a vacation.
Having that stereotypical Barbie and Ken appearance. Like those pesky Joneses you're always trying to keep up with. Or the mean girls. Kinda what Abercrombie & Fitch is going for, but with shirts on.
Or the frequency and competency with which you actually have sex. Closing the deal is probably the most important part. I mean, let's be real — sex is the root of the word.
For superficial sexiness, we gathered stats on looks and success in life. The looks include obesity rates and media-driven superlatives (Miss Americas, People's Sexiest Men Alive and Most Beautiful, Playboy Playmates, and GQ cover men born in each state). Success includes household income, education level, and unemployment rate.
For practical sexiness, we looked at birth rate, STD rate, and penis size. Really wanted to get condom sales too, but they're not available at a state level.
Each stat was weighted equally within its form of sexy. See the results in the matrix below.
States on the right side of the matrix above tend to put out a little more often while the left is a bit more prude, and the top is where the beautiful people live. We weighted both ranks equally and tallied them up for our most and least sexy.
