A new report released by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) on Tuesday, January 17, shows that the average number of sexual partners among men is seven while women two.
In the report detailing the sexual behaviour among Kenyans, 19% of women had sex with a person who was neither their husband nor living with them compared to 35% of men.
"A higher proportion of men (15%) than women (4%) reported having two or more sexual partners in the 12 months prior to the survey. Of those with more than one partner in the last 12 months, 24% of women and 45% of men reported using a condom during their last sexual intercourse.
"In the 12 months before the survey, 19% of women had sex with a person who neither was their husband nor lived with them, and just 37% of these women reported using a condom during their last sexual intercourse with such a partner," part of the report reads.
The KNBS adds," Thirty-five percent of men reported having sex in last 12 months with a person who neither was their wife nor lived with them, and 68% of these men reported using a condom during their last sexual intercourse with such a partner. Average numbers of sexual partners are 2.3 among women and 7.4 among men.
