6. Malta

According to the first study of its kind in Malta, people living in the northern part of the country watch pornography the most, while those in the southern harbor area have sexual intercourse most frequently. The study aimed to shed light on people’s sexual behaviors and reduce stigma surrounding sexuality. Being declared as a highly religious country, with more than 86% of its population identifying as religious, Malta is a place where sexual activity remains a taboo subject. The cultural and religious influences have created an environment where discussions about sex are often avoided or considered sensitive. As a result, topics related to sexuality are not openly discussed, and there may be a sense of discomfort or hesitancy in addressing such matters.
