Demographics of inceldom: Difference between revisions

* Sex is regarded as the most satisfying and joyous experience and ~70% of men report "sex is essential to feeling good about oneself".<ref name="ref25">https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Sex_is_the_most_pleasurable.2C_joyous.2C_and_meaningful_human_experience</ref>

Including older populations, this sex difference vanishes somewhat as older men [[serial monogamy|remarry]] more often, leaving behind [[single mothers|single mothers]].<ref name="ref48">https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783658059231</ref>

This agrees with other findings of a rise of sexual inequality. The most sexually active men have more sex than ever,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_get_2-3_times_as_many_casual_sexual_relationships_from_Tinder_than_men|become more unequally distributed</ref> which may indicate a slight rise in open relationships, men engaging in 'casual sex' with a quick succession of sex partners, possibly facilitated by online dating<ref name="ref33">https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_get_2-3_times_as_many_casual_sexual_relationships_from_Tinder_than_men</ref>, [[serial monogamy]] and other forms of ''de facto polygamy'', accompanied by a rise in acceptance of polygamy.<ref>https://news.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/214601/moral-acceptance-polygamy-record-high-why.aspx</ref>

[[Brian Gilmartin]] in the 1980s estimated that 1.5% of all American men experience involuntary celibacy, estimating them at 4.7 million people.<ref name="ref21">https://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/72931916/One-of-the-internets-most-reviled-subcultures</ref>

A 2012 report by The Centers for Disease Control claimed that within the past year roughly 6% of men ages 25 to 44 have not had any sexual partners. The Washington Post correlated this figure within inceldom; thus making roughly 6% of that age group ''virginal'' involuntary celibates (per Washington Post).<ref name="ref21"></ref>

Men also more often report having sex is essential to feeling good about oneself (d ≈ 0.25).<ref name="ref25"></ref>

Nonetheless, a minority of women (e.g. around 21.9% of female Tinder users) does seem to have ''lots of sex'' and can get it substantially more easily than men.<ref name="ref33"></ref>

In Germany, [[incel|incels]] are called [[Absolute Beginners]], or ABs. There are no comparable data to the GSS or NFSG with variables about virginity or sexlessness. Some sources claim inceldom affects twice as many males as females with 10 percent and 5 percent respectively, however the exact source of this claim is unknown.{{citation needed}}<ref>https://www.srf.ch/wissen/mensch/absolute-beginner-leben-ohne-liebe-und-partner</ref> Data from 2008 suggested that among 18-30 year olds, 60.4% of men and 35.6% of women were singles.<ref name="ref48"></ref> Interestingly, these figures are similar to GSS in 2018 as discussed above. Even though men might bloom later, this points to ''substantial'' [[gynocentrism]] in that women in their twenties have their sexual basic needs more likely met. A survey showed that the rate of sexless women aged 18-91 increased from 33% to 38% between 2005 and 2016, which likely means it has increased by at least a much for males, and may veil a substantial increase for the younger generations due the broad age range of the sample.<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-019-01525-9</ref>

A survey from 2008 by „Neon“ estimated the number of ABs aged 20-35 to be 4% of women and 6% of men.<ref name="ref48"></ref>

Among ages 28-30, 8.4% of men never had sex, but only 2% of women (p = 0.003).<ref name="ref48"></ref>

Unsurprisingly and according to a Durex survey from 2009, Japan was the least sexually satisfied nation, with just 24% being satisfied with their sex lives compared to a global average of 44.12±7.68.<ref>http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/22444/Kiwi-women-most-promiscuous-in-the-world</ref><ref name="ref71">http://www.data360.org/pdf/20070416064139.Global%20Sex%20Survey.pdf</ref> A similar result was found by a Japanese sex toy company in 2019.<ref>http://archive.is/wip/mUQlw</ref>

In a survey conducted by Durex in 2006, inhabitants of the Scandinavian countries were the most likely to state they wanted more sex. 52-53% wanted more sex vs a global average 36.12±8.33.<ref name="ref71"></ref>

The currently largest incel forum [[incels.co]] conducted two surveys so far of its userbase. 59.5% of users were between 18-25 years old and few are younger. 22.5% have had sex. 56.1% were White/Caucasian.<ref name="ref76">https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Incel_forums_are_disproportionately_populated_by_suicidal.2C_disabled.2C_autistic.2C_and_ethnic_men</ref>

In agreement with the result above, around 55% of incels on [[/r/braincels]] were Caucasian.<ref name="ref76"></ref> More than 75% were younger than 25 years.<ref>https://archive.md/e9pTT</ref>
