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 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> and also much ''later marriage''.
