Women Have More Séx Partners than Men in India - Indian Culture Sinking?
According to NFHS statistics, women have more sexual partners than males in the following states: Kerala, Lakshadweep, Puducherry, tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Ladakh, rajasthan, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Jammu & Kashmir.
Rajasthan has the highest proportion of women among these states and union territories, with an average of 3.1 sex partners compared to 1.8 for males.
Nonetheless, the NFHS data indicates that more men (3.6%) than women (0.5%) have engaged in sexual activity with individuals who were not their spouses or with whom they had shared a residence within the year before the survey.
The main purpose of the study was to determine the frequency of higher-risk sexual encounters and the use of condoms during such encounters, as poor condom use may increase the risk of HIV/AIDS.
