One out of two Korean women remained silent to their partners about their past sexual behavior.
Both men and women agreed it was better to “lie about sexual experiences” but there was a considerable difference on the degree of the lie.
Slightly more than half, or 52.1 percent, of females questioned replied that sexual experiences must be hidden “absolutely,” while as many as 85.8 percent of males responded that they would tell lies “depending on circumstances.”
The answers came from the outcome of a survey of 278 of its members, including 113 males, aged 20 years to 39 years across the country conducted by Duo on “lies between partners of couple” from March 15 to 25.
The poll also found that women were more curious about their partners’ past affairs, asking in person, than males at the ratio of 58.8 percent and 42.5 percent.
But when it comes to their partner’s past dating. On average 83.1 percent of the questioned said that they were able “to tell a lie depending on the circumstances” to their partners, with males more so with 85 percent compared to 81.8 percent of women. Some 16.2 percent replied that they would reveal their dating history in “an honest manner.”
About 93 percent of women said that they asked whether their partners dated or not, against 69.9 percent of men, indicating that the former are more curious that the latter in the past dating.
Asked if you have anything to conceal from their partner, 49.6 percent, the highest in men, replied that they would tell a lie, compared to 35.2 percent of women.
Men and women disagreed about degrees of forgivable lies with 67.3 percent of men saying that they would accept lies for continuous couple relations but 53.3 percent of women saying that they only tolerate small lies.
