20 Least Sexually Active Countries in the World

5. Romania

Romania, as a highly religious country, maintains conservative attitudes towards sexual behavior. These cultural and religious influences contribute to a societal environment where discussions about sex are often considered sensitive and may be avoided. As a result, topics related to sexuality are not openly discussed, and there might be a sense of hesitancy in addressing such matters. In Romania, the sexual experiences of Roma women typically begin during adolescence, with a significant portion (63.9%) having their first sexual intercourse between the ages of 15 and 19. Additionally, 26.7% of Roma women experience their first sexual encounter at age 15, and 9.4% between ages 20 and 24. It was observed that Roma women with lower levels of education tend to initiate their sexual lives earlier. For instance, 28.8% of Roma women with no education had their first sexual intercourse before the age of 15, and 64.8% between the ages of 15 and 19.
