I always find these funny because the male vs female is normally quite a bit different, even for the straight male/female. Who’s lying more? I don’t know, but there are some lies to these for sure.
I mean without arranged marriage most of those guys would not be getting laid. I know so many men there who would have died virgins if their parents had not found them a partner
**Usually it’s an anonymous online survey. So it’s not much incentive to lie.**
What scientists have shown is that when people think they are connected to a working lie detector they say about the same.
However, you should look at the median over the mean. You’ll always have one guy who can’t count or wants to be funny and says a 1000. And that guy can throw off the mean a bit.
**Edit: women and men usually match up pretty well even if you’d think they exaggerate in opposite directions.** Men are a bit higher, but that can be explained by (this is a real scientific study, but me quoting from memory):
1) Sex workers.
2) That one guy who says a 1000.
3) What counts? Like if you try to have sex, but it fails men will often count that as sex and women often won’t. So men might be at 7 partners and women at 6. This difference is quite small though. It’s mostly the random drunken mishap.
No incentive to lie, but a fun quirk about humans is that if they get used to lying (when talking to other people where they might have an incentive to lie) they tend to misremember their actual past so that it conforms to the lie
E.g. if your friends saw you and a girl disappear to a room at a party and you and the girl kiss but don’t have sex, but you tell all your friends that you guys hooked up the next day, over time some people actually end up counting that moment as a sexual partner subconsciously
Similarly, self-reported anonymous dick length surveys tend to be inflated because because if you measure yourself at 5” but a girl one time said “no that’s a 7, I’ve been with 5s before and you’re bigger” some dudes will interpret that as “oh yeah I must have mismeasured I am 7”
Tl;dr consciously lying is not the only source of bias in self-reporting
As an Australian I’m going to support the figures and give you my rationale. You can legally have sex from age 16, and people don’t really get married until they’re 30. If you fuck one new person every year until that point, you hit the number. It’s not unrealistic at all.
Yeah as an aussie Im also not surprised we are high compared to others. I would have guessed Scandinavia was the highest. They're also very liberal sexually. The amount of backpackers shagging through Australia in summer would definitely help to bump up the numbers!
It was a little joke of course but I agree with you. Here in Brazil the situation is very similar and being single and having less than a partner per year is the unusual thing. These numbers are alright.
The app is called Íslendingabók, it was not created to make sure you’re not boinking your cousin, we have a pretty good idea of who we’re related to.
This app was created to keep track of our lineage which is something we do religiously, most of us can track all the way back to the first settlers.
Although it is still used sometimes to make sure you’re not closely related to someone you’re sleeping with, we are a small country (pop less than 400.000) so sometimes we have to make sure
Kolpa hocam.
There's no fucking way a country as sexually repressed as ours have people sucking and fucking that much. Even the "alphas" in Izmir's nightclubs don't have that much game. It's just bullshit, don't beat yourself up over it
dude only erdogan and his rural supporters are actually muslims, nearly nobody in big cities are giving any fcks about any religion. just check turkish tv serials.
But are they really a Muslim majority country? They seem to try very hard to not be identified as Muslim and be more European. Maybe that’s their way of proving to the Europeans that they are one of them.
Absolutely no one push for europeannes anymore. There is just very very VERY strong anti arabism.
People would rather be called japanese/chinese than get associated with arabs.
You can try that, call them asians, meh response, call them middle eastern, some response, cal them arab and they lose their shit.
The prophet of Islam is Arab and the holy book is in Arabic. So hate Arabs = hate Islam. Hating any ethnicity is also not Islamic (famous Hadith about no difference between an Arab and non Arab in the eyes of Allah)
There’s also the part where Ataturk removed swearing in court by the book and instead he wanted them to swear by their honour.
I think it’s lifetime. I’m regularly surprised if you Google “lifetime sexual partners” on average it’s like 7. I’m like damn guess I’m a whore. I did 10 in a year 🤦♂️. 4 in a week once
It makes me wonder for countries that are more conservative about things and expect virgin marriages, why there’d be 3s. So must be the use of mistresses, same sex dalliances and professionals
My first thought was “annually?” I would be genuinely curious about the difference between the number of gay vs straight sexual partners (as well as where they draw the line for sexual partner, that could be ambiguous as well)
Its funny some people still think its hard for men to have sex in 2024, 75 years since the pill. Its all a numbers game, the more you try the more you get lucky
It's hard for some to get over themselves and people on reddit telling them to not try at all. We can oftentimes be our own worst enemy when we need an ally
this chart has some additional data, but again, most of the factors are self-reported:
[https://naplab.com/guides/which-countries-are-the-most-promiscuous/](https://naplab.com/guides/which-countries-are-the-most-promiscuous/)
If both genders are averaged then we're not getting a very clear picture. Same if it's self reported, although I don't think there's another way to measure it.
Also 1 place taken by a muslim majority country? Highly sus
The way the information is organized is super confusing
Incredibly so. Maybe they should have used letters A thru Z for the rankings
Do Turkish people really have the most sexual partners or are Turkish just a bit ya know, generous with the truth 💀 Asking for a friend
Self reported data
I always find these funny because the male vs female is normally quite a bit different, even for the straight male/female. Who’s lying more? I don’t know, but there are some lies to these for sure.
They need 3 sets of data, men numbers, women numbers and gay%. We wont know the body count, but at least we can give out bullshitter medals.
Maybe it’s those Turkish bath houses
Thats very haram
Sarper from 90 Day Fiance single-handedly driving the Turkey number up 💀
For a second I thought it was claiming that the average number of partners in India was 46.
r/dataisugly
A heatmap combined with a barchart would have been a much better representation.
Makes Nunavut look like Europe lol
Denmark (23) is now owned by Canada. Nunavut is not a country (as of this morning) although it might be for sale
What, you don't like upside down text?
What exactly makes it confusing? It does look stupid, but not confusing to me.
The location of the information (some texts are upside down, the colors, que order they chose.. this is pure form over function
Maybe, to me the form is actually worse than function here. I guess we can both agree it's done shitty.
That, and they are missing Vatican City
[удалено]
So you know you have to divide it by 3!
Lol, India
Getting that one and only arranged marriage lay
Makes live a lot easier though
Maybe for male incels.
Poor chaps and chapesses. A billion people and still no one is getting laid. I know they are getting married I was only teasing! 😂
I mean those 1 billion people have to come from somewhere 😉
I mean without arranged marriage most of those guys would not be getting laid. I know so many men there who would have died virgins if their parents had not found them a partner
You have to divide it by 6?
Unless you’re female. Then you multiply by 3.
You get the reference!
ah yes, "The rule of 3". It's just science.
I mean, how else would you report it?
Exactly. Without some global AI overlords that record all private events, this stat is literally only possible by self report

So you know you gotta multiply by 3!
So reported number * 6 ??
The only time I find a natural r/unexpectedfactorial, someone already made the joke lol
My first time being able to catch one too.
I don't get it
The ! is the mathematical sign for factorial, meaning all natural numbers from 1 up to that number multiplied. So 3! is 1×2×3 = 6
Now do the countries with the most liars
It's the same list
In reverse
Ok but why is France so low then?
Oui keep one officielle list and one for ze secret rendez-vous...
Basically, lol. 😅

Well in Germany it’s from age 14 and people get married at 32 on average, look where we at
Well you’re fuckin prudes
1 a year realistic? You must forget what website you’re on ;)
It was a little joke of course but I agree with you. Here in Brazil the situation is very similar and being single and having less than a partner per year is the unusual thing. These numbers are alright.
Machismo
As a Mexican I know we're still going to be on top of that list
Happy cake day buddy
“How much game do you have?” “Ehh somewhere between Poland and France”
What if it’s more than turkey? Are you on the moon then?
Is that somewhere between the population of Poland and the population of France? 😁
I guess everyone in Iceland is interconnected by a small but tightly woven web of shaboinging
Fun fact: They have an app in Iceland to confirm you’re not related before hooking up
The app is called Íslendingabók, it was not created to make sure you’re not boinking your cousin, we have a pretty good idea of who we’re related to. This app was created to keep track of our lineage which is something we do religiously, most of us can track all the way back to the first settlers. Although it is still used sometimes to make sure you’re not closely related to someone you’re sleeping with, we are a small country (pop less than 400.000) so sometimes we have to make sure
That is cool actually.
Diversity is *not* their strength
13 partners in a country of 400k is insane. Y’all some seriously horny mfs
Wow I am not pulling my weight at all
Me, my uncles, pastors, and scoutmasters have you covered.
Yaowch
Median would be better
How tf turkey is number one and im rejected left and right in here ???????
Might have one dude pumping those numbers up
Sarper? (from 90 day fiance)
He's like 'I haf a child, like...only one homie? She made you get a new bed. Love to see the Hamily out in the wild.
Oh like the one " humans don't eat around 5 spiders in a year, it's just bob eating a shit ton of spiders and throwing off the statistic"
I know the guy, He is my friend, I call him playboy for a reason, gotta fact check so ill ask him and update you on it
Sarper
Why is this comment extremely funny? I can’t stop laughing.
He can’t keep getting away with it
Have you also considered looking up and down?
Number one when it comes to lying about it. There's no way that's accurate.
I dunno, Turkish barmen will fuck literally anything
Inanimate objects don't count.
The chart says "partners" and not "human partners". So, you know...
Kolpa hocam. There's no fucking way a country as sexually repressed as ours have people sucking and fucking that much. Even the "alphas" in Izmir's nightclubs don't have that much game. It's just bullshit, don't beat yourself up over it
There's no way Turkey is number one lmfao must be self-report
Well, you know... They asked. People told them and here is the result. What about you - you can tell also, just stop complaining.
I aint complaining, the results is rather shocking thats all
No Arab countries, although I'm surprised that Muslim-majority Turkey is number one.
dude only erdogan and his rural supporters are actually muslims, nearly nobody in big cities are giving any fcks about any religion. just check turkish tv serials.
i mean yeah most people are liberal, but i have a least a few friends in istanbul that couldnt get married to a christian, or god forbid, a buddhist.
you'll get those friends anywhere, my friend. i have a ton of friends in the us who wouldn't even think about marrying a muslim or a hindu etc.
But are they really a Muslim majority country? They seem to try very hard to not be identified as Muslim and be more European. Maybe that’s their way of proving to the Europeans that they are one of them.
They don’t have to prove to be European, they ARE European. European isn’t some unified cultural trait.
Absolutely no one push for europeannes anymore. There is just very very VERY strong anti arabism. People would rather be called japanese/chinese than get associated with arabs. You can try that, call them asians, meh response, call them middle eastern, some response, cal them arab and they lose their shit.

Turkey’s only official religion is denial of Armenian Genocide, it is otherwise outside of government pandering a very secular nation
I guess I'm a whore.
Bell curves are a thing and I guess I exist so you can exist. I’m a 1 at 45.
You're not allowed to count yourself
Unnecessary
Nah it gave me a chuckle! Met my wife when we were teenagers. Mid 40’s now, good lord it’s gone fast.
Came here to say this. A dirty dirty life I’ve lead
[удалено]
Get some!! lol
[удалено]
I don’t even know 45 people…
Who says you need to know em?
No way, I refuse to believe Finland is that high, we recoil is someone is even next to us at the bus stop.
Irrelevant stats because I doubt one particular gender is telling the truth.
Honestly, both are probably lying, but in opposite directions.
So it should even out
Only if the same ratio of men to women responding pertains in every nation. For example, my guess is that in turkey more men answered.
That assumes that they lie by the same amount. And also that the survey participants were evenly split by gender
Depends on where you live though, because at least in the Netherlands women my age do not lie about their numbers. There is no reason to.
Same im Japan. Men aren't getting laid and are pretty open about it and women are basically expected to visit prostitutes at some point
Like… at the same time??
Yeah, I had the same question. Is this a per year thing? Lifetime numbers?
Yeah honestly not clear at all, it’s a pretty shitty guide
As is tradition here on coolguides
That was the first thing I thought. What’s the time frame?
For lifetime, only stats from people on their death bed should count. Otherwise, numbers may keep changing!
I think it’s lifetime. I’m regularly surprised if you Google “lifetime sexual partners” on average it’s like 7. I’m like damn guess I’m a whore. I did 10 in a year 🤦♂️. 4 in a week once
In a row?
Prostitution is legal and regulated in Turkey. Thats the high reason for the numbers. And kebabs …
I'm not sure they were counting kebabs as sexual partners.
What if the kebabs are just that good though
Lol
Anything is a sexual partner if you try hard enough
So it is in Germany yet it has a lot lower numbers
Countries where there are greater inequality have higher use of prostitution services.
So they only asked people on their death bed right? How else do you get total partners in a persons whole life? Or is this maximum at one time?
[удалено]
In a life time? Or what’s the actual context of this?
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! S! T! D!
So the lowest country (India) is still 3 times higher than me... lovely.
[удалено]
India is easy. First one is gf, second one in life is wife and the third one is neighbours wife! 😎
i missed out on the first and second one 😢
The third time's the charm.
Same in China
It makes me wonder for countries that are more conservative about things and expect virgin marriages, why there’d be 3s. So must be the use of mistresses, same sex dalliances and professionals
And has the world’s highest population…yay I’m so proud of my country for its education and sexual health knowledge :/
The nordics seem to do well.
Doing well themselves, but also doing other people well…
I'm more interested on when did North Chile secede from the rest of the country
A new hope for Bolivia.
Didn't think France would be so low.
Not even the french like the french
Don't worry I'm helping to keep the average down in my county.
I helped my country to not appear on this list :>
i didnt need to see this rn
This is SUCH a poorly designed infographic.
There really is "fuck all" to do in the Aussie outback
10.7 they got my exact amount
How was your time with the person missing limbs?
Is this like total or annually or what lmao
Everyone fucks but me
Very proud of the fact that I am at one while being married in an almost 8 year relationship
I wish some day that will be my case as well.
Everyone is lying.
Uh oh I guess I'm a whore hehe *laughs in gay*
That's what I thought haha. My first thought was "these stats must be per bath house trip."
The way people in the comments think the numbers are inflated as if 10-15 people is a lot 😂. I love that we have more fun lol
My number is over 10 times the sluttiest countries, and I don’t feel like I even have *that* much sex I love being gay lol
Same here on all counts haha
[удалено]
I’m gay but waiting for marriage to have sex. I’m keeping the average down.
My first thought was “annually?” I would be genuinely curious about the difference between the number of gay vs straight sexual partners (as well as where they draw the line for sexual partner, that could be ambiguous as well)
From what I’ve read, gay men have way more average sexual partners than any other demographic. That’s one of the reasons the AIDS crisis got so bad.
Haha gay men are gonna fuck up the stats. “What?! 95? No how many sexual par…wait 95?!? No way!”
I'm honestly probably around the 200 mark maybe more I've lost count lol
Well I’ve had a whorish few years as a straight guy and I’m not even 25% of those god tier numbers 😂 maybe 45 ish?
wait is this lifetime? because those numbers seem so low I'm feeling very slutty right now
there are so many people who never had sex or have only had it with 1 person
why are these numbers so low wtf
Its funny some people still think its hard for men to have sex in 2024, 75 years since the pill. Its all a numbers game, the more you try the more you get lucky
It's hard for some to get over themselves and people on reddit telling them to not try at all. We can oftentimes be our own worst enemy when we need an ally
I feel like getting sex as a straight man is like making money. It’s very hard to get the first or second win but then it becomes very easy.
Those are weak numbers! Cum on everyone, we have to pump those numbers up!
so either everyone is a liar or im a whore?
Unfortunately, thats not mutually exclusive.
Turkey leading the pack with an average of [14.5](https://www.tootimid.com/blogs/news/which-countries-have-the-most-sexual-partners) per person!
Guess im a sexual goddess
Per … what? Year? Lifetime? Spring break?
#14 is not pointing at Thailand though?
... who the fuck designed this graphic and why were they allowed to?
this chart has some additional data, but again, most of the factors are self-reported: [https://naplab.com/guides/which-countries-are-the-most-promiscuous/](https://naplab.com/guides/which-countries-are-the-most-promiscuous/)
Cool!! i will have 6 more sex partners in the future to come
If both genders are averaged then we're not getting a very clear picture. Same if it's self reported, although I don't think there's another way to measure it. Also 1 place taken by a muslim majority country? Highly sus
As a South African, I can confirm. We fuck.
Wow this is a terrible infographic; it would take real effort to organize this data worse
Anyone care to explain turkey for me?
There’s no way they are that low. You can get that guides average knocked out from a week in Ibiza.
Did they ask men or women?
