Countries with the highest average sexual partners of a lifetime

When it comes to the number of sexual partners over a lifetime, Turkey leads the world, according to the World Population Review.

Topping the chart is Turkey with an average of 14.5 partners, followed closely by Australia with 13.3, and New Zealand at 13.2.

Here’s the top 10 list:

1. Turkey – 14.5
2. Australia – 13.3
3. New Zealand – 13.2
4. Iceland – 13.0
5. South Africa – 12.5
6. Finland – 12.4
7. Norway – 12.1
8. Italy – 11.8
9. Sweden – 11.8
10. Switzerland – 11.1

The data offers a curious insight into cultural, social, and possibly dating behaviors around the world. While the numbers may not fully reflect personal or societal values, they do shine a light on global differences in sexual behavior and relationship trends.

Experts caution, however, that cultural openness, survey methodology, and societal norms could influence self-reporting in such studies.

Still, for some, this chart is likely to spark conversations — and perhaps a few raised eyebrows.
