Sexual Behavior in Germany
Before the data evaluation, the researchers conducted plausibility tests on the basis of the complete data sets. Altogether, subjects tended to be satisfied with their relationships. Table 2 , Figure 1 , and eTable 1 provide an overview of reported sexual behaviors in men and women. Detailed reported rates of sexual practices by sex and age are shown in eTables 1 — 5.
Persons who had had sexual contacts outside their relationships reported a mean of 3. Differences between the sexes reached significance? Persons who had had sexual contacts outside their current relationships reported a mean of 2. Very few men 0. Women were not asked for sexual contacts with prostitutes as the researchers were wary of the risk of dropouts from the study as a result of such questions.
Men from this high-risk group reported a mean of 38 female sexual partners, women reported a mean of 17 male sexual partners figure 2. The number of sexual partners in the high-risk group was three times as high as in persons who did not meet all the listed criteria normal population.
Half of those who reported sexual contact with prostitutes reported having had unprotected sex outside their relationship once: The data do not convey any information on the occurrence or frequency of unprotected sex with prostitutes. Subjects aged 25—29 were the most sexually active age group, as was also shown by a previous study 4. Increasing age was observed to be accompanied by a decreased frequency in sexual activity; the causes may be the length of the relationship 17 as well as aging for example, as a result of falling testosterone concentrations e9.
Similar to the results from research from the US and the UK to date 3 , 5 , the responses from men and women differed regarding the numbers of their sexual partners. Self-serving biases and gender-specific responding behavior may have contributed to the differing responses. As far as we know the reasons for these differing responses have not been investigated to date.
Data from questionnaire surveys have also not been validated on the basis of behavioral data. Compared with earlier, non-representative studies, fewer subjects reported active or passive oral intercourse, and the same was true for insertive and receptive anal intercourse. This may be because of cultural differences 3 , 4 or online based data collections The proportion of persons who reported having sexual contacts outside their relationship was low compared with earlier studies 6 , 7.

Many partners therefore seemed to be true to the widespread desire for faithful relationships e Because of the random selection of the sample and the independent completion of the questionnaires it can be assumed that the data are less prone to biases and the rates shown are more reliable than in other studies. In a scenario of changing sexual partners and inconsistent condom use, regular sexual medical examinations are recommended, because STIs will otherwise remain undetected at first Only one in four of those who answered in the affirmative about having unprotected sexual intercourse outside their steady relationship had undergone a relevant medical examination.
Simultaneously, some persons displayed behaviors external contacts, unprotected sexual intercourse outside their relationships, inconsistent condom use, a higher lifetime number of sexual partners that are to be considered as at risk with regard to STIs. The medical care of persons with sexual dysfunction , our results underline the necessity of exploring in detail high-risk behaviors and of providing factual and structured education for the prevention of STIs.
In addition, the guideline 20 recommends that the HPV types 16 and 18 vaccine be given to girls for cancer prevention as early as possible. Whether vaccination at a later date—especially after the start of sexual activity—is indicated should be decided on an individual basis A detailed sexual history is helpful and required in this setting. The results should be viewed while considering the composition of the sample.
Participants mainly reported being heterosexual. The proportion of homosexual subjects was consistent with the proportions reported in other German-language publications Because of the small subsample sizes, no conclusions were possible with regard to specific subgroups for example, those with a homosexual identity.
To this end, a disproportional number of such subgroups compared with the total population would have been required in the sample oversampling. For reasons of economy we also dispensed with capturing data on body image and satisfaction with the reported sexual behaviors.

Similarly we were not able to find out which factors for example, consumption of pornography affect the sexual practices undertaken. And neither did we focus on contraceptive use in specific sexual behaviors. Certain criteria age, sex, place of residence were weighted during recruitment, so that the sample largely matched the total population of Germany. However, individual reports of frequencies may be subject to bias because the willingness to answer a question varied by the subject of the question. We decided against estimating the missing data and reported confidence intervals.
Self-serving memory biases and self-portrayals have to be assumed as a matter of principle in the setting of reporting sexual behaviors. As self-reported sexual behaviors are also subject to biases when using other data collection methods e12 , in future, partners should be interviewed about the behaviors and experiences of their significant other, in order to validate their responses.
A longitudinal study design would help identify predictors for high-risk sexual behaviors. The data collection took 8 weeks 20 January to 16 March The study collected data on unemployment, migration background, different attitudes among others, on religiousness, right-extremist attitudes, democracy , and mental wellbeing. The target households were identified after the regional areas were subdivided by using the random route method.
All persons in a household were allocated a number by entering them into a schema by sex and age descending. The person whose number appeared first in a series of random numbers was included in the survey; the order of random numbers in the data collection protocols varied. Subsequently the questionnaire was handed to those surveyed. Because of the in some cases very personal data, the idea was for participants to complete this independently. Finally the subject handed the completed questionnaire to the interviewer. Altogether persons were included in the survey German-speaking residential population; minimum age 14 years; response rate The average age was In compiling the questionnaire, existing German and international measuring instruments were used.
English-language items were translated and used after detailed checking by different psychologists. The items were not validated separately. Before the evaluation, plausibility checks were undertaken on the basis of the full data sets for all sections of the multiple-subject survey. Descriptive statistics were reported in absolute and relative rates. The respective sample size that the data referred to was given. This can vary because certain questions were asked only when certain conditions applied for example, duration of the relationship only when a relationship actually existed or if subjects did not answer the question.
Chi square tests were used to compare results between the sexes. Conflict of interest statement.
