According to a National Family health survey (NFHS) survey performed in 11 states and union territories between 2019 and 2021, women had more sex partners than males. One lakh men and 1.1 lakh women participated in the study, which was conducted in 707 districts nationwide.
 
According to NFHS statistics, women have more sexual partners than males in the following states: Kerala, Lakshadweep, Puducherry, tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Ladakh, rajasthan, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Jammu & Kashmir.
 
Rajasthan has the highest proportion of women among these states and union territories, with an average of 3.1 sex partners compared to 1.8 for males.

In the 12 months before to the poll, a somewhat higher proportion of married rural women than married urban women, as well as those who are presently married than those who are single, divorced, widowed, or separated, reported having sex with two or more partners.
 
Nonetheless, the NFHS data indicates that more men (3.6%) than women (0.5%) have engaged in sexual activity with individuals who were not their spouses or with whom they had shared a residence within the year before the survey.
 
The main purpose of the study was to determine the frequency of higher-risk sexual encounters and the use of condoms during such encounters, as poor condom use may increase the risk of HIV/AIDS.
 
Data on socioeconomic status and other background traits are also included in the NFHS report. These details help formulate policies and ensure that programs are implemented successfully.
