In Vietnam, in 2012 ISDS Institute for Social Research did a study on the sex life of Vietnamese people. They interviewed 5,300 people, including 2,400 men and 2,900 women, all aged 18-65 in 11 provinces and cities nationwide. This study has shown that the record for many sexual partners belongs to a man over the age of 30 who has 200 sexual partners.
Meanwhile, the record number for women is only 5 sexual partners. The percentage of respondents affirming being faithful to 1 sexual partner is 78%, only about 6% having more than 3 sexual partners. Dr. Khuat Thu Hong - Director of ISDS shared that this number may not be accurate. Because Vietnamese people still have a prejudice that, if you show off a large number of sexual partners, you will be judged as unreliable, lewd or playboy... Therefore, for the question "have you ever had a sexual partner?" how many mates?" It will be very difficult to give an exact answer.
