Combining data from 2016 and 2018, one finds an estimate of 24% (N = 311, 95% CI: 19%, 29%). | The share of sexless men between 18 and 30 has nearly tripled in the past decade, according to the ''Washington Post'' using data from the U.S. nationally representative ''General Social Survey (GSS)''.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-americans-not-having-sex-has-reached-record-high/?utm_term=.9b52429c7136</ref> The 95% confidence interval is 20%-34% (N = 137).

Combining survey years 2016 and 2018 for female millennials, one finds fewer incels, only 17% (N = 337, 95% CI: 13%, 21%), which is significantly different from men (X² = 4.6, p = 0.03). Including year 2014, it becomes more significant (X² = 6.3, p = 0.01, 21% M vs 15% W). | Combining survey years 2016 and 2018 for female millennials, one finds fewer incels, only 17% (N = 337, 95% CI: 13%, 21%), which is significantly different from men (X² = 4.6, p = 0.03).
