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 data from 2016 and 2018, one finds an estimate of 24% (N = 311, 95% CI: 19%, 29%).

GSS data also shows that the share of people between the ages of 18 to 34 in the USA who do not have a stable partner has now risen to 51%, up from 35% in 1986.  Meaning only 49% have a partner.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2019/03/21/its-not-just-you-new-data-shows-more-than-half-young-people-america-dont-have-romantic-partner</ref>

Share of American young adults in stable partnerships has been cut almost a third to 49%]]


A study by Poortman and Liebroer found that ''only roughly 4% of singles'' preferred their singlehood over being in a relationship.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssresearch.2010.03.012</ref> Further, only 1% of the population self-identify as asexual.<ref>https://health.usnews.com/health-news/health-wellness/articles/2015/05/04/asexuality-the-invisible-orientation</ref>
The 95% confidence interval for men who did not have sex in the past year aged 18-30 is 20%-34% (N = 137). Combining data from 2016 and 2018, one finds an estimate of 24% (N = 311, 95% CI: 19%, 29%).

This is likely mainly due to women getting into relationships earlier (in their [[The Wall|prime years]]) and dating older men, and possibly due to open relationships, polyamory, serial monogamy, harems, online dating and other forms of ''de facto polygamy'', i.e. [[Chad|Chads]] getting [[Hypergamy|more of the pie]].

===Commentary - Hatfield and Clark===


Some say general rates of celibacy should not be used as rates for inceldom among people.  While this may be true for women... for men, celibacy rates and inceldom rates should be very similar.  The assumption that almost all young men would rather have sex than not, in any given day, is heavily supported by science.  As mentioned earlier, A study by Poortman and Liebroer found that only roughly 4% of singles are [[Volcel|volcels]], i.e. singles who stated to prefer their singlehood<ref>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssresearch.2010.03.012</ref> Another notable study is the academic Hatfield and Clark study of college students<ref>https://www.sciencefriday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/gender-differences-in-receptivity-to-sexual-offers.pdf</ref>.  Certain students were asked to randomly approach members of the opposite gender if they wanted to have sex right now.  Women accepted the casual sex offers 0% percent of the time in that study. While men accepted the casual sex offers 75% of the time when the offer was the most direct while the rest of the men apologized or gave valid excuses.  This is just when men were asked at random by a random women too.  The number would be even higher for both genders in less casual circumstances most likely.

Some [[feminist]]s have claimed to reject (whatever rejected means in the face of such blatant facts) the methodology of the Hatfield and Clark study stating that the women do not know if they will orgasm or not and they do not know the men.  It is not that brilliant of an observation though, as we already know women would have male-like acceptance of casual sex offers if the male offering were a celebrity.  Women like [[statusmaxxing|status]]<ref>https://doi.org/10.1017/S0140525X00029939 </ref>.  A lot.  Van Halen had fucking <span style="font-size:150%;">[[sex tent]]s</span><ref>https://www.cracked.com/article_22900_van-halens-sex-hut-8-acts-legendary-rockstar-debauchery.html</ref> set up at his performances.  The stadium janitor goes home jacking off to gangbang porn while crying.

===Commentary - a majoritarian issue, particularly for men===
====Commentary - a majoritarian issue, particularly for men====
Statistics mentioned above suggests inceldom is something that primarily affects men. Inceldom rates have been growing for both singletons and married men while it has remained stable for women. According to the General Social Survey (GSS) data, a greater share of men are sexless, both among wedders and nonwedders.<ref>https://ifstudies.org/blog/male-sexlessness-is-rising-but-not-for-the-reasons-incels-claim</ref>

With inceldom near tripling in a decade and steady partnerships almost cut in half for those btw 18-35ish as shown above, we can see that inceldom issues are approaching a majoritarian issue.  But with 51% of young adults without a partner, we can safely conclude that the amount of people sympathetic to incels due to their own situation may now be a majority of young adults.

The strangest anomaly within this data is that married women have more sex than married men. Which begs the question, are married women cheating more, or are married men becoming willful [[cuck]]s?
