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. | 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). | 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).

The | This difference in 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 IFS found there is a greater share of men are sexless both among wedders and nonwedders, also based on GSS and other data.<ref>https://ifstudies.org/blog/male-sexlessness-is-rising-but-not-for-the-reasons-incels-claim</ref> The IFS also found sexlessness is on the rise overall. Indeed, | |||
between 1990-2006 in GSS, only 13.4% of men aged 18-30 had no sex in the past year (N = 2013, 95% CI: 11.9%, 14.9%), but in 2012-2018 it was 20.8% (N = 682, 95% CI: 17.7%, 23.8%), which is a significant change (z = 4.6, p < .00001). For women it was 11.5% (2489, 95% CI: 10.3%, 12.8%) and 14.5% (742, 95% CI: 12.0%, 17.0%), which is also a significant change (z = 2.2, p < .03).<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_get_2-3_times_as_many_casual_sexual_relationships_from_Tinder_than_men</ref> Men experienced a somewhat larger decline (-7% vs -3%), though, which agrees with finding that sex has [[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, yet both sexes have less sex. | |||
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: | Conclusion: Young people generally have less sex and men even less. Also few people have more sex at the same time. But the largest changes are less stable relationships and later marriage. | ||
