According to Thai media news, recently, the non-profit research organization "Global Population Overview" released statistics on the average number of sexual partners in the world in 2024. Among them, Thailand is the first Asian country to rank at the top of the list, ranking 12th in the world, with an average of 10.6 sexual partners.
Data shows that the average person will have 9 sexual partners in their lifetime, and the average number of sexual partners varies greatly from country to country, as cultural norms can have a huge impact on the number of sexual partners. This time, only 46 countries/regions around the world were collected for ranking, and the top 10 with the highest average number of sexual partners were:
1. Turkey: 14.5 on average;
2. Australia: 13.3 on average;
3. New Zealand: 13.2 on average;
4. Iceland: 13 on average;
5. South Africa: 12.5 on average;
6. Finland: 12.4 on average;
7. Norway: 12.1 on average;
8. Italy: 11.8 on average;
9. Sweden: 11.8 on average;
10. Switzerland and Ireland: 11.1 on average.
At the same time, it is worth noting that the United States, which is considered to be sexually oriented, does not make the top 10 list, and some countries have an average number of sexual partners lower than the global average, such as China (mainland), Hong Kong and Vietnam have fewer than four sexual partners.
In addition, Thai media said that the main basis of this survey is the sexual history of the respondents, so there is a possibility that the research results are high or low.
