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 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> | ||
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> | 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.

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%). 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).

Hence, accounting for [[volcel|volcels]], the percentage of incels among millennials is likely a bit less than the sexless, so likely '''roughly between 15% and 30%''', likely a bit higher as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}. With 57 million millennial males, this amounts to '''8-17 million millennial incels''', and 2-3 as many with an unstable or no relationship. | Hence, accounting for [[volcel|volcels]], the percentage of incels among millennials is likely a bit less than the sexless, so likely '''roughly between 15% and 30%''', likely a bit higher as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}.
