Demographics of inceldom: Difference between revisions

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics, sexlessness has increased among the young between 2002 and 2006/2008. 27% of 15-24 year old men have never had any form of sex, up from 22 percent in 2002, and 29% of females in that age bracket have never had sex, also up from 22 percent in 2002.<ref>https://www.livescience.com/13072-sex-stats-virgins-rise.html</ref><ref>https://time.com/4435058/millennials-virgins-sex/</ref>

With increasing sexlessness and steady partnerships almost cut in half for those between 18-35, one can see that inceldom issues are approaching a majoritarian issue.  With 51% of young adults without a partner could indicate that the amount of people sympathetic to incels due to their own situation may now be a majority of young adults.

Some [[feminist|feminists]] have claimed the comparison in acceptance to invitations to sex is not a fair measure of how much women suffer from sexlessness because women need to know the men first to be safe. However, there is evidence that women do engage in very adventurous sex with no hope for reciprocity or investment on part of the man, namely if the man has exceptionally [[statusmaxxing|high status]]<ref>https://doi.org/10.1017/S0140525X00029939</ref> and/or is exceptionally good looking ([[sexy sons hypothesis]]) and even abusive/violent men ([[hybristophilia]]). Van Halen had ''sex tents'' set up at his performances.<ref>https://www.cracked.com/article_22900_van-halens-sex-hut-8-acts-legendary-rockstar-debauchery.html</ref> This proves women do engage sometimes in adventurous, unsafe sex, therefore most [[femcel|femlcels]] are believed to be [[volcel|volcels]]. Feminists have a point in that women have more [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]], but phenomena like sex tents and sexy sons suggest women exploit their ability to choose from many men somewhat, so their inceldom seems more [[fake depression|self-inflicted]]. Women are naturally [[female solipsism|oblivious]] to these facts.
