Why are so few frisky in Frisco? A new survey says that Texans aren't as wild in the sheets as they have been on the streets lately.
DALLAS, TX —Say it ain't so, Frisco.
According to a survey released by LawnStarter.com (not exactly Gallup, it's easy to say), when you invite a North Texan over to "Netflix and chill," the chances are ... you'll be watching a show rather than getting busy.
The survey, as reported by The Dallas Observer, claims that on a list of supposed horniest cities in America, the city of Frisco limped in at 199, barely edging out Midland at 200.

The glimpse into the sex lives of entire cities was determined by such criteria as online searches for sex-centric visuals and stories, purchases of adult toys, the population of singles in the area, and interviews that included self-identified levels of libido.

Explanations of WTF (Why This Finding) is so deflating range from COVID-19 and the understandable fear of getting up in someone's grill to the recent protests and the January insurrection.
It does seem that this misery has company, however — because among Texas cities, McKinney comes in at a floppy 192 and Plano can't muster even that much mojo, bringing up the rear at 194. Brownsville is on siesta at 195, Laredo turns in a limpid 196, and the yellow that provides Amarillo its name appears more brown-speckled and wrinkled at 197.
And as for Dallas, it somewhat rises to the challenge at 115, handily beating out that den of decadence, New York City, which put in an anemic appearance at 147th.
