Donnelly study: Difference between revisions

'Involuntarily celibate' is a valid academic sociological term first used academically by [[Antoine Banier]] and later portmanteaued/abbreviated by [[Alana]] and subsequently popularized in Donnelly's study, referring to people who would like to have a sexual or romantic partner but can't find one for six months or more. The date may seem arbitrary, but there had to be a cutoff point, and [[Denise Donnelly]] chose six months as that factored in that some sexually active people go weeks without sex, and people start to worry about their sex lives after a certain period longer than that period.
