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> | 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> | ||
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]]. Regardless of the cause this undeniably means men's sexual needs are less likely met in this age bracket. | 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]].

The tendency that men are more likely sexless can be observed across the world as summarized below and also in terms of [[reproductive success]],<ref>Brown, G.R., Laland, K.N. and Mulder, M.B. 2009. ''Bateman's principles and human sex roles.''
