In the GSS survey 2018, only 18% of millennial women had no sex in the past year compared to 28% of men,<ref>https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1101592/the-great-sex-recession-celibate-americans-at-record-high</ref> but this difference is not statistically significant, meaning it could be coincidental. | |||
However, combining survey years 2016 and 2018 for female millennials, one finds 17% of women are sexless (N = 337, 95% CI: 13%, 21%), which is significantly different from men's figure for these years of 24% (X² = 4.6, p = 0.03). Including year 2014, it becomes more significant (X² = 6.3, p = 0.01, 21% M vs 15% W). | |||
The IFS found there is a greater share of men are sexless both among wedders and nonwedders, also based on GSS.<ref>https://ifstudies.org/blog/male-sexlessness-is-rising-but-not-for-the-reasons-incels-claim</ref> | The IFS also found there is a greater share of men are sexless both among wedders and nonwedders, also based on GSS.<ref>https://ifstudies.org/blog/male-sexlessness-is-rising-but-not-for-the-reasons-incels-claim</ref> | ||
This is likely mainly due to women getting into relationships earlier | This sex difference is likely mainly due to women getting into relationships earlier, in their [[The Wall|prime years]], 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. | ||
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.'' [[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169534709001128 FullText]]</ref> and is likely a result of women's higher [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]]. | 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.

Conclusion: Both young men and women have overall less sex today, but sex has likely [[Scientific Blackpill#Women_get_2-3_times_as_many_casual_sexual_relationships_from_Tinder_than_men|become more unequally distributed]] for both sexes, with especially the most sexually active men getting more sex than ever. The strongest effects are however in sexlessness overall, less stable relationships and later marriage. | |||
