Another Reason to Move to North Texas: Not as Many STD’s…
Share News:
We do a LOT of things better in DFW, and one of those appears to be practicing safe sex. Remind me not to use any potties the next time we drive through Killeen. (My husband is an ObGyn and says that STDs are NOT transmitted that way, but I’d rather be safe than sorry!) The list of the top ten cities for people with STDs was so popularly devoured that the next 80 cities were added. You can see that we need to be extra cautious in San Antonio. But oh sweet Jesus what are they doing in Longview? Corpus Christi? Lubbock, Odessa and… Waco? (So much for Rudy’s Barbecue.) This data was compiled by RentApplication.com using CDC data. This does NOT include data on herpes, yikes. As you can see, the military helped cities rank strongly in the top 10, with Norfolk Naval Base, Ft. Hood, and Ft. Bragg all pushing their cities to the top. Remember what they used to say about a man in uniform being so sexy? NOT!

Interestingly, cheaters site Ashley Madison puts both Austin (#1) and Houston (#8) in their “top 10” for subscribers per household. Yet it seems smaller Texas cities are the most ripe for STDs. I guess safer sex is better practiced in the big cities.
