Russian gays have let their Belorussian colleagues win the first place in so called "Fidelity Competition". According to EMIS (European Internet research among men practicing sex with men [MSM]) 53% of Belorussian gays do have regular sexual partner, Russians - only 1% less (52%). These are very positive results because "fidelity index" in Europe in general doesn't exceed 39%. To be frank, the same research showed that 52% of Russian MSMs have had 2-10 sexual partners during the last time, in Belorussia - 57%, Moldova - 47%, Ukraine - 59%.

20% of Russian gays have changed 10 and more sexual partners during the last year, thus corresponding to median European rate in promiscuity. The most picky were gays from Bosnia&Herzegovina - only 10% in infidelity index, Belorussians - 12%, Ukrainians - 13%. Only in 10 European countries one can meet such "fidèle mari".

The most unfaithful and easily excitable buddies turned out to be from France (38%) and Turkey (33%) - more than one third of MSMs have changed more than a dozen of sexual partners per year.

But on the other hand, Russian gays were among the first who prefer anal sex. 91% (European median - 85%) gays in Russia enjoy anal sex. Only neighbors from Moldova got 96% of anal amateurs among MSMs who practiced anal sex during the last year.

For reference: the survey took place in 2010, Gay.Ru visitors have actively participated in it and more than 5000 Russians filled the survey form.
