Higher education may be the key to improving your sexual desirability – for men.
The 2022 Ghana Statistical Service’s Ghana Demographic and Health Survey report has revealed that as men scale up the academic ladder the probability of them having more sexual partners is higher.
For instance, amongst uneducated men, 14.5% had more than two partners, while 18.6% of them had sex with a person who was neither their wife nor lived with them.
Amongst men who had terminated their education at the primary level, 14.9% had more than two partners, while 29.9% of them had sex with a person who was neither their wife nor lived with them.
Amongst secondary school graduates, the number inches even higher with 15.1% of men having more than two partners, while 36.1% had sex with a person who was neither their wife nor lived with them.
Finally, 15.4% of men who have attained higher education i.e. tertiary level had more than two partners, while four out of 10 men (41.8%) had sex with a person who was neither their wife nor lived with them.
The reverse is true for women.
The survey reveals women relatively have fewer sexual partners the higher their education level.
For instance, amongst uneducated women, only 1.0% had more than two partners, while 6.9% had sex with a person who was neither their husband nor lived with them.
Amongst women who had only basic (primary level) education, 2.8% had more than two partners, while 21.5% had sex with a person who was neither their husband nor lived with them.
Amongst secondary school graduates, the percentage of people who had more than two partners drops to 2.4%, while 27.3% had sex with a person who was neither their husband nor lived with them.
And women who had attained tertiary level education, only 1.5% had more than two partners, while 25.2% had sex with a person who was neither their husband nor lived with them.
