NEW York, Las Vegas or Los Angeles may seem more likely choices but Austin, Texas, has been named the sexiest city in the United States in a magazine survey.
Dallas, Houston and San Antonio also scored high marks in the ranking by Men's Health Magazine that looked at birth rates, condom sales, rate of sexually transmitted diseases and sales of sex toys.
Cold-weather cities, including Portland, Maine, which came in last, and Burlington in Vermont, didn't do well.
"One possibility is that in an area where's it's hotter, people need to dress lighter and that puts pressure on them to look better and keep in better shape," said Matt Marion, the deputy editor of the magazine.
Seven of the 15 sexiest cities in the poll of 100 urban areas were in Texas. In contrast, New England, with its freezing temperatures and parka-wearing populace, was home to many of the least libidinous cities.
The finding that amorous people tended to be more abundant in warmer cities such as Charlotte, North Carolina, and Atlanta, contradicts the notion that sultry weather makes people lazy.
Some cities renowned for their singles bars and hook-up scenes were also low in the ranking. Las Vegas was No. 70, followed by New York at 73, and San Francisco at 74.
