Males Have an Average 10 Partners in Their Life

Men have twice time more sexual partners of women during their life.

The researchers reported that men have on average 10 different partners, a quarter of men boasted more than 10 victories.

In contrast, women have an average of 5 sexual partners in their lifetime, while 35% admitted that they had only one.

Moreover, the fair sex were more likely to be secure in their number of sexual partners.

More women than men reported that they having had sexual relations with only one partner of the opposite sex in their lives (30% of women versus 20% of men) and conversely more men than women reported having had sexual relations with 10 or more partners of the opposite sex (30% of men and 15% of women).

Among women in older age monogamy is even more common, with 50 percent of women between 60 and 70 say they have had only one sexual partner.

Older women are less likely to be sexually active, 40 percent said they had no partner in the last year. Total one-fifth of the surveyed women between 20 and 70 said they were virgins.

The poll of 25,000 people published by the Information Centre for health and social care shows that the younger generation lost their virginity in an increasingly early age, taking more risks.

30% of men and 80% of women said they had sex before their 16th birthday, a middle-aged people have sex for the first time in 17 years.

25% of young women said they had two to four different sexual partners last year.
