=== More sexless men than women ===
In GSS data from 2018, more male than female millennials had no sex in the past year (28% vs 18%),<ref>https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1101592/the-great-sex-recession-celibate-americans-at-record-high</ref>, but the difference is not statistically significant.
However, combining survey years 2016 and 2018, one does find a significant difference for millennials (24% vs 17%, X² = 4.6, p = 0.03).
Including year 2014, it becomes more significant (21% vs 15%, X² = 6.3, p = 0.01).
What is worse, women are known to downplay their partner counts, so sexlessness among women is possibly lower than what they report.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women.27s_reported_sex_partner_count_dramatically_increases_when_hooked_up_to_a_polygraph</ref>
Including older populations, this sex difference vanishes somewhat as older men [[serial monogamy|remarry]] more often, leaving behind [[single mothers|single mothers]].<ref>https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783658059231</ref>
The higher sexlessness among men aged 18-25 is likely mainly caused by women getting into relationships in their [[The Wall|prime years]], preferring men slightly older than themselves.

Sexlessness among young adults is not only higher for men, but sexlessness has also risen more quickly for men (see [[#sexless|table]]). Men experienced a greater decline (-7% vs -3%, p < 0.001).
