TAIPEI - Taiwanese men have had five sex partners on average over time, which is a lower number compared with some other countries, according to a global sex survey published by a condom maker.
The Durex Global Sex Survey, launched to mark World AIDS Day, found that Malaysian men and women have had the fewest sex partners in total, numbering three and two, respectively.
In comparison, Taiwanese men have had five, while Taiwanese women have had three, the survey found.
The survey also found that almost one in 10 Taiwanese men (9 per cent) said they had paid for sex to lose their virginity and less than half (45 per cent) of men and women said they were in a stable relationship at the time.
Among the 36 countries surveyed, New Zealand was found to have the most sexually active men, who claimed to have had 44 sex partners in total. Swiss, Portuguese, South African, and Turkish men followed with 42, 34, 33, and 31 partners, respectively, in total.
Among women, Swiss females were at the top of the list with 17 sex partners, followed by Australians with 14, the Czechs and New Zealanders with 13 each and Germans with 12.
The survey also found that the highest rate of admitted infidelity was among Thais (54 per cent), followed by South Koreans (34 per cent), Malaysians (33 per cent), and Russians (32 per cent).
Taiwanese were in ninth place at 22 per cent, on par with mainland Chinese.
Meanwhile, 57 per cent of men and women in Taiwan said they did not have sufficient information about AIDS.
The men feel less well informed than women, with 60 per cent of males saying they wanted to know more about the disease, compared with 55 per cent of women who said they lack adequate knowledge of AIDS, according to the poll.
This lack of information about HIV/AIDS reflects a lack of knowledge among Taiwanese men and women about their partners, the poll showed. Almost one in four (23 per cent) admitted that they did not know if their partners had ever had a sexually transmitted infection.
More than 29,000 people from 36 countries, including 1,012 adults in Taiwan, took part in the survey, which was carried out online and in face-to-face interviews.
