Overseas research shows that the number of ideal sex partners is four to five men and two to three women in their lifetime.

Researchers from the University of Jarland, Germany, published the results of a survey of about 340 adults in the international journal 『Social Psychological and Personality Science』.

As a result of the study, the ideal number of sexual partners for men is about 4 to 5 over their lifetime, of which 2 to 3 are 'light encounters'.




They also responded that they had sex for the first time at the age of 18-20, and had sex about four to five times a week and self-defense three to four times a week.

He also said that sexual desire and sexual fantasies occur about three times a day.

On the other hand, women said they had about two to three sexual partners in their lifetime and had regular relationships with one to two.




They responded that their first sexual experience was between the ages of 16 and 18, having sex about three to four times a week, self-defense two to three times, and having sexual desire and fantasies about two times a day.

The researchers pointed out that social standards for men and women are applied differently.

Society positively evaluates men with a lot of sexual activity and women with a lot of sexual activity.




In other words, it means that men who are active in sexual activities are favorable, while there is a negative view in the case of the same woman.

The researchers argued that `the moderate level of sexual activity is most valuable to both men and women rather than extremely low or extremely high levels of sexual activity.'

However, the researchers said that the study focused only on German residents and that the subjectivity of responses was limited.
