A new study from World Population Review has revealed the countries where people have the highest number of sexual partners—and the results are surprising.
While countries with a more liberal philosophy around sex, such as France and Brazil, immediately come to mind, these countries are actually revealed to be less promiscuous than we might think.
With the average French person sleeping with 8.1 people in their lifetime, the nation comes in at 29 on the list.
Likewise, Brazil takes the 25th place, with the average citizen sleeping with nine people.
The countries that made the top ten are similarly surprising.
Which Country Has The Highest Number Of Sexual Partners?
It turns out that Turkey has the most sexual partners, with the average citizen clocking an average 14.5 sexual partners over their lifetime.
The result is surprising considering Turkey’s predominantly Muslim population and the religion’s traditional views on sex and marriage.
Following close behind Turkey is none other than Australia, with the average Australian sleeping with 13.3 people.
New Zealand comes in at third place followed by Iceland, South Africa, Finland, Norway, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland.
