20 Least Sexually Active Countries in the World

18. Vietnam

The cultural emphasis on virginity and the expectations surrounding sexual behavior may indeed contribute to the average number of sexual partners in Vietnam being relatively low at 3.20. The societal norms and values play a significant role in shaping people’s attitudes towards sex and relationships. With a strong emphasis on preserving virginity and traditional family values, individuals in Vietnam may be less likely to engage in casual or multiple sexual relationships compared to societies with more liberal views on sexuality. It’s essential to consider the cultural context and social factors when understanding the patterns of sexual behavior in different countries.

17. Malaysia

The study conducted in Kuala Lumpur in 1986 surveyed 1,200 Malaysian adolescents aged 15-21 years. The research aimed to understand various sexual behaviors, including premarital sexual intercourse, contraceptive usage, and masturbation. Among the 1,181 unmarried respondents, 9% (105 individuals) reported having engaged in sexual intercourse, with males being significantly more experienced than females. The study also found that older age groups were more sexually active than the younger ones. These findings provide valuable insights into the sexual behaviors of Malaysian adolescents during that period. However, the number of sexual intercourses per year is only 86.
