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>
