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 (Source: https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783658059231)</ref> possibly a bit more as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}. With 57 million millennial males, this amounts to '''8-17 million male millennial incels''', and 2-3 as many in an unstable or no relationship, pointing to a substantial amount of sexually frustrated males. | On the other hand, one could question whether systemic circumstances pressure men into these situations, which could then count as involuntary.

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''. 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 larger decline (-7% vs -3%), though, which agrees with other findings 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 the most sexually active men getting more sex than ever. | |||

Including older populations, this difference vanishes somewhat as older men remarry more often, leaving behind single mothers.<ref>https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783658059231</ref> | Including older populations, this difference vanishes somewhat as older men remarry more often, leaving behind single mothers.<ref>https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783658059231</ref> | ||
This difference among the young is likely mainly due to women getting into relationships earlier, in their [[The Wall|prime years]], dating older men, and possibly though less likely 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 difference among the young is likely mainly due to women getting into relationships earlier, in their [[The Wall|prime years]], dating older men, and possibly though less likely 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.'' [[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.
