Who's Having More Sex? Angelenos or New Yorkers?

Boi From Troy reminded me of a short news story that I had seen over the weekend about the New York City Health Department inking a deal with Lifestyles condoms to become the official free condom of New York City.

New York is already a big player in the condom market. The city hands out 1.5 million free condoms each month, or about 18 million a year. Hundreds of organizations get free condoms from the city and distribute them at various locations, including health clinics and advocacy groups, bars, restaurants, nail salons, nightclubs and even prisons.

By comparison, the Los Angeles County health department gives out just over a million condoms per year, according to Peter Kerndt, director of the department's STD program. In Los Angeles, health and advocacy organizations request and then restribute condoms, and individuals can order up to 10 at a time by calling a hot line.

New York negotiated a deal with the maker of the Lifestyles brand for 4 cents per condom, putting the expense to the city at just $720,000 annually, according to health officials.

As Boi From Troy points out, distributing 18 million condoms for New Yorkers is just under 2 condoms per capita per annum, while 1 million condoms for Angelenos is 1 condom for every NINE Los Angeles residents. What are we supposed to do, share?
Boi speculates that he doubts that New Yorkers are having more sex than Angelenos, but they may be having more safer sex. Mad Professah doubts that assertion is true (You may recall that I have previously blogged about the amazingly low price on Trojan Magnum XL condoms at Target stores in Los Angeles). However, I thought I would ask my loyal readers, "who do you think is having more sex, New Yorkers or Angelenos?"
