The above figures are to be compared with this study examined in the guardian newspaper https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/aug/02/less-sex-please-were-millennials-study which demonstrates that there has been a secular increase in celibacy (especially among men) over the generations, with 6% of men aged 20-24 being sexless in the 60s and this increasing to 12% in the 1970s-80s and further increasing to 15% in the 90s. Thus the sexual revolution plainly failed in its ostensible objective of promoting 'free love', at least for the majority of men. This also demonstrates that the increase started before online dating, but online dating is most likely exponentially increasing it further, to the point that one must presume the west will soon imitate Japan in levels of celibacy | The above figures are to be compared with this study examined in the guardian newspaper https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/aug/02/less-sex-please-were-millennials-study which demonstrates that there has been a secular increase in celibacy (especially among men) over the generations, with 6% of men aged 20-24 being sexless in the 60s and this increasing to 12% in the 1970s-80s and further increasing to 15% in the 90s.
