An article dated April 16, 2012 in Men's Health ranks Orlando at the top of the list for the Smuttiest City in America. The criteria use to compile the list (which ranks Las Vegas as #2) uses the following criteria:

1. The amount of pornographic DVDs purchased, rented or streamed
2. Registered adult entertainment stores per city
3. Rate of porn searches
4. Percentage of households who subscribe to a cable channel that shows soft-core porn

Could some of these figures be attributable to the high number of tourists that visit Orlando each year?  Perhaps because of the large convention population that we attract?  It would be interesting to see results for DVDs rented or streamed that are from hotels.  The Orlando area (according to Visit Orlando) attracts over 50 million tourists a year, yet the Greater Orlando metropolitan area has a population of only 2,134,411.

I'm offended by this report - like so many that give Orlando a bad rap, the criteria is weak and doesn't take into account all the factors.  What do you think?  Post your comments below.
