Most Promiscuous Countries 2023 (worldpopulationreview.com)
Most recent study done by a Dr. David P. Schmitt, Founding Director
of the International Sexuality Description Project. This is not done by a PUA
or heresay and is considered one of the best studies ever on this topic.
An alternative study found the promiscuity among countries around the world based on one-night stands, attitudes towards casual sex, and the number of sexual partners the average person enjoyed. The study found that Finns have the largest number of sexual partners in the industrialized world. Additionally, British people have the largest number of sexual partners among western industrial nations. This study further showed that the top ten OECD countries on the promiscuity index are the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Australia, the United States, France, Turkey, Mexico, and Canada.
Condom-maker Durex has conducted multiple surveys that measured sexual behaviors including promiscuity among nations. Durex found that Austrian men had the highest number of sex partners of males around the world of 29.3 partners on average. New Zealand's women had the highest number of sexual partners with an average of 20.4. In general, people from developed Western countries have more sex partners than people in developing countries; however, those in developing countries have higher STI rates. Additionally, the "most promiscuous" countries do not have the highest fertility rates; those are typically also seen in developing countries. For Western countries high on the index, especially in the United Kingdom, their positions can be linked to increasing social acceptance of promiscuity among women and men.
Finland and New Zealand are no surprise to me but Israel near top is. Iceland has a very
sex positive attitude but they were not in study. France is in middle which is no surprise
as their attitude is not as liberal as thought, they consider sex to be personal. I thought Japan would be higher
Canada is in the middle but , confusingly, we beat New Zealand in OECD countries,
that NZ is part of , in the alternative study, but the Durex study says NZ is tops
