As of 2005, people in the United States stated that they have had an average of 10.7 sexual partners, which is slightly above the global average of nine sexual partners.
Turkey in the lead?
Surveys on sensitive or very personal topics, like sexuality, are often to be taken with a grain of salt, but in this case, Turkey did not only lead the ranking in 2005, it also topped the one conducted in 2010 on the mean number of sexual partners. So is it likely that the Turkish people are sexually more prolific than everybody else? Another survey by another source suggests otherwise: It does not include Turkey when it comes to the countries with the most sexually active inhabitants but lists the Greek as the most active ones. In general, people tend to embellish their own activities, but also those of others – the disparity between the perceived and the actual number of times people have sex is staggering and similar everywhere around the world.

Both China and India struggle with a significant difference between the number of men and the number of women, and both countries largely adhere to conservative standards of sexuality that prohibit sex before marriage.

Participants were invited via online recruitment on Facebook, with a maximum of 18 participants invited for each session, and took part in several tasks for a set of studies. Each session consisted of either men, or women only. Only self-reported heterosexuals were recruited for the study in order to clearly discern relationships between the measured variables on a sample of the target size. In total, 158 people participated in the experiments (74 men, 84 women, mean age=21, median of age=21).Participants were greeted at the reception and led to the computer lab with seats separated by cardboard screens, so that the subjects could not see each other or otherwise interact during the experiment. They read and signed their informed consent and were able to ask questions about it before the commencement of the experiments. At the beginning of the computer-based survey, participants viewed twenty neutral-expression frontal portrait color photos of people of the opposite sex. The priming part of the session was always overseen by an experimenter of the same sex as the subjects.The subjects were asked to rate the attractiveness of the faces on an 8-point Liekert scale. One half of the subjects was randomly allocated photos rated as less attractive on the same Liekert scale by an independent sample in a previous online questionnaire (Machová 2018), the other half was shown the twenty faces rated as more attractive. The unattractive sample of men was originally rated 2.73 on average, the attractive 3.97 (t=7.98, df=37.67, p
