The last few days I’ve been confirming stops on my European trip. It got me thinking about what it will be like sarging in various countries, so I got Googling statistics on sexual behavior in different cultures. The results I came across were fascinating.

Probably the most interesting thing I came across was a “Global Sex Survey” done by the condom company Durex a couple years ago. They surveyed 317,000 people frome 41 countries between the ages of 16 and 70 on their sexual experiences, behavior and history. Some of the more interesting statistics I found:

- The global average age to lose your virginity is 17. Women lose their virginity about half a year before men. This statistic is also trending younger — i.e., each generation is having sex at younger and younger ages.
- The global average of sexual partners is 9. Men average 10 partners in their lifetime (and 1.3 a year when they’re single), and women average 7 in their lifetime. Believe or not, Turkey tops the charts with 14.5 partners on average.
- India is the prudest country in the world, waiting until their 20 to lose their virginity on average and averaging only 3 partners in their lifetime. Over 65% of the population sleeps with one person their entire life. I could of told you this considering how much bullshit and LMR I’ve gotten over the years from Indian girls.
- Norway and Sweden have the most unprotected sex. They also have the most STD’s (20% of the population).
- The Chinese and Japanese are the least content with their sex lives. The Japanese also have sex a third as often as most countries in the Western world.
- The scandinavians have the most one night stands. The Turks cheat on their spouses the most. And the USA has the most homosexual encounters (oh, the irony).
- The Greeks and Balkan states (Croatia, Serbia, etc.) have sex the most often… about 30% more often than Western Europe and the US.

My only complaint about this survey is that Latin America and Russia weren’t included. I think Mexico, Argentina and Russia would have had some interesting results, and I imagine Brazil would top the charts in multiple categories. It’s a shame they weren’t included.
