Also, men who see prostitutes have sex, but may still count as [[incel#definition|incels]]. Conversely, men in long-distance relationships, religious men or very career-focused men might voluntarily forgo sex, hence might rather count as [[volcel|volcels]] or temporarycels. | Also, men who see prostitutes have sex, but may still count as [[incel#definition|incels]].

On the other hand, one could question whether systemic circumstances pressure men into these situations, which could then count as involuntary. Today, people might involuntarily marry much later as a consequence of cultural, economic and environmentalist pressures forcing them to do so. Indeed, career-focused singles tend to report they focus on their career because they are single rather than vice-versa.<ref>https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783658059231</ref> | On the other hand, one could question whether systemic circumstances pressure men into these situations, which could then count as involuntary.

Focusing more on reclusive incels ([[hikikomori]]), in 2019, professor Simon DeDeo estimated a somewhat lower numbers of incels, namely '''700,000 in the U.S for men over 25 years old''',<ref>http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/02/the-world-of-american-hikikomori.html</ref> and '''1.3 million for men over 18 years old'''.<ref>http://simondedeo.com/?p=221</ref> | |||

Among American vicenarians (people in their twenties), women were 10% more sexually active than men,<ref>https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1101592/the-great-sex-recession-celibate-americans-at-record-high</ref> | |||
which can probably largely be attributed to the fact that men bloom later than women. | |||
Yet, this undeniably implies women's sexual needs are more likely met in this age bracket. | |||
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).
