However, the decline in teen pregnancies is mostly explained by improved contraceptive use.<ref>https://www.guttmacher.org/news-release/2016/declines-teen-pregnancy-risk-entirely-driven-improved-contraceptive-use</ref>

==Adult incels in the U.S.==

===Rise in male sexlessness and singledom===

The 95% confidence interval for men who did not have sex in the past year aged 18-30 is 20%-34% (N = 137). Combining data from 2016 and 2018, one finds an estimate of 24% (N = 311, 95% CI: 19%, 29%). Most sexless males are likely incels as evidenced by:

* Only 1% of the population self-identifies as asexual.<ref>https://health.usnews.com/health-news/health-wellness/articles/2015/05/04/asexuality-the-invisible-orientation</ref><ref name="asexuals">https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=17133744500922136515&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5</ref>

* 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>

The distinguished social psychologist, Professor [[Roy Baumeister]], sagely summarized the sex difference in mating drive: "Given the mismatch between men's and women's desires, most men are doomed to experience chronic sexual frustration. […] They are doomed to be horny."<ref>Baumeister & Tice, 2001</ref>

Ergo, women, at least in modern society, are essentially the ''gatekeepers'' of sex<ref>https://assets.csom.umn.edu/assets/71503.pdf</ref> and hence they decide the celibacy rates.

===Have women become sluttier?===

[[File:Average_Number_of_Lifetime_Sex_Partners_(IFS).jpg|thumb|400px|right|Number of sex partners over time, by decade of birth, sex and education, U.S. ([https://ifstudies.org/blog/nine-decades-of-promiscuity source)]]]

In data from Finland (see the [[#Finland|Finland section]]), women have become twice as likely to not have been in love with their first sex partner (from 82% down to nearly 39%) over the course of over 80 years, whereas men's answers remained unchanged around 50%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeYts4AzRUo</ref> This may reflect that young women more often are promiscuous like men, and just engage in sex for near-term gratification. But a number of other explanations are conceivable, e.g. that women's love may require a [[orgasms for resources|resource dependence]]. A change in promiscuous behavior, however, is also evidenced by later-born women also more readily say they'd be willing to have sex without being in love (up from 20% to around 80%), also in the Finnish data.

===Are late marriage and reproduction unnatural?===

[[File:World_map_of_Age_at_First_Marriage.png|thumb|Regions with fast-life strategists such as Africa tend to have earlier marriages, on average.]]

Historical data on age of marriage and reproduction suggests that late first marriages and late reproduction were not unheard of in history, especially in [[life history|K-selected]] societies such as Northwest Europe, with both sexes commonly only marrying in their mid-20s or early 30s.<ref>Patricia Crone (2015). Pre-Industrial Societies: Anatomy of the Pre-Modern World. Oneworld (Kindle Edition). p. 2747 (Kindle loc.).</ref>

Genetic life history speed, is not the only factor determining marriage age as marriages have been fairly early in ancient China, commonly explained by economic necessity.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12285484/</ref> Overall, however there is a correlation as Africa has particular early marriages (see the map on the right).

==Other countries==

===Crossnational search term popularity===

As of 2018, there was an excess of 70 million males in China and India,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#There_are_now_70_million_excess_men_in_China_and_India_who_will_live_and_die_without_partners</ref>

24 million of these in China.<ref>http://pulitzercenter.org/projects/china-population-women-bachelor-marriage</ref>

Up until the turn of the millennium, marriage was enforced quite strictly such that among 30-34 year olds only 2% of women (but 10% of men) were single.<ref>Ji, Y. (2015). Between tradition and modernity: "leftover" women in shanghai. Journal of Marriage and Family, 77(5), 1057-1073.</ref>

===Denmark===

According to Project SEXUS 2017/2018, among 25-34 year olds, 5% of men compared to 3% of women, never had sex since they were 15 (N = 3495, p = 0.0025), however for older groups there were no sex differences.<ref>https://files.projektsexus.dk/2019-10-26_SEXUS-rapport_2017-2018.pdf</ref>

As a very liberal country, Finland may serve as a model of liberal subcultures in other Western countries.

===France===

{{see_also|[[French incelosphere]]}}

Sexlessness is on the rise in France as well. For men under thirty, a decrease in the mean sex partners was seen from 10.4 in 1992 and 7.7 in 2006 (p < 0.00001), but for women in the same age group there was no change.<ref name="france">https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=9691333152456161933&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5</ref>

The number of lifetime reported sexual partners for all ages was fairly stable in the recent 50 years (11.8 in 1970, 11.0 in 1992, and 11.6 in 2006). For women, mean lifetime number of partners increased from (1.8 in 1970, 3.3 in 1992, 4.4 in 2006), which may be related to women lying less about their number of partners. That women lie about this is evident as women should have just as many lifetime sex partners as men.<ref name="france" />

===Germany===

[[File:Germans_18-30_Sexually_inactive_within_past_year_2005_2016.png|thumb|300px|Sexlessness is on the rise in Germany as well.<ref name="GerMen"></ref><ref name="GerWomen"></ref>]]

Surprisingly, according to some sources, India is characterized as having some of the lowest rape rates in international comparison,<ref>John A. Humphrey, Frank Schmalleger: Mental illness, addictive behaviors, and sexual deviance 2012, ISBN 978-0-7637-9773-7, S. 252.</ref><ref> Humphrey, John A.; Schmalleger, Frank (2012), "Mental illness, addictive behaviors, and sexual deviance", in Humphrey, John A.; Schmalleger, Frank (eds.), Deviant behavior (2nd ed.), Sudbury, Massachusetts: Jones & Bartlett Learning, p. 252, ISBN 9780763797737.</ref><ref> Gregg Barak.

ISBN 978-1-945926-26-6.</ref> however, this is suspected to owe to a very high dark figure, which is evidenced by some high profile rape cases of e.g. gang rape arousing attention in Indian media in a way unheard of in modern Western countries.<ref>Siuli Sarkar: Gender Disparity in India. 2016, ISBN 978-81-203-5251-3.</ref><ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-31483956</ref>

There are also many reports of [[bluepill]]ed female Westerners experiencing [[rape]], groping and [[sexual harassment]] while [[I love to travel|solo-traveling]] in India,<ref>*[https://www.scoopwhoop.com/inothernews/expat-on-women-safety-india/#.l34y6k66j Men masturbating at White female traveler on a public bus]

The age of marriage and divorce rates also increased consistently, though at a slower rate compared to other countries.<ref>https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/age-at-marriage-women?country=GBR~USA~NOR~SWE~PRT~SAU~TUR~ZWE~BGD~NER~IRN~ISR</ref>

===Italy===

{{see_also|[[Italian incelosphere]]}}

Italy has some of the lowest marriage rates of only 3.20 marriages per 1,000 inhabitants per year, which is less than half compared to the U.S. (6.50) and the lowest marriage rate among OECD countries.<ref>https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/marriage-rate-per-1000-inhabitants?tab=table&country=ITA~USA</ref> This likely owes to a particularly high median age in Italy, but it is also somewhat lower than Germany (4.90) which has a similarly old population.

Italy also has some of the lowest fertility rates among the OECD countries with only 1.27 births per woman.<ref name="oecdfertility"></ref>

As in other Western countries, the Italian youth has substantially been indoctrinated by [[feminist]] propaganda between 2000 and 2017, though the [[double standard]] (i.e. that men are admitted more [[promiscuity]] than men) is still fairly prevalent.<ref>https://genus.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41118-020-00085-4</ref>

One informal survey suggests Italian adults have on average slightly more sex than the world's average.<ref>https://www.italymagazine.com/featured-story/survey-reveals-italians-have-more-sex-global-average-and-sex-kitchen</ref>

===Japan===

Japan has among the highest rates of incels and has had them for quite a while. As of 2019, 10% of 30 year olds have no sexual experience. 24.6% of 18-39 year old women have no heterosexual experience, up from 21.7% in 1992. For men it increased from 20% to 25.8%. Sex differences are remarkably small.<ref>https://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/focus/en/press/z0508_00035.html</ref>

In 2016, a government survey found evidence of 541,000 [[hikikomori]] living in a country of 127 million people.<ref>https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/02/the-world-of-american-hikikomori.html</ref>

Unsurprisingly and according to a Durex survey from 2009, Japan was along with China 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> The survey by Durex has been criticized for potentially biased sampling,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promiscuity#Global_studies</ref> but a similar result was found by a Japanese sex toy company in 2019 (though with China being much more satisfied).<ref>[https://archive.fo/wip/mUQlw http://archive.is/wip/mUQlw]</ref>

Another study found between 1992 and 2015, the age-standardized proportion of 18-39-year-old Japanese adults who were single had increased, from 27.4 to 40.7% among women and from 40.3 to 50.8% among men.<ref>Ghaznavi C, Sakamoto, H, et al. 2020.

===Netherlands===

In a survey from 2017, among 25-39 year olds, 8% (N = 427) of men but only 4% (N = 687) of women never had sex which is significantly different (Chi² = 8.053, p = 0.0045). Among 18-24 year olds, it was 25% (N = 4934) of men and 19% (N = 8216) of women, also significantly different (Chi² = 66.3, p < 0.0001).<ref>https://www.rutgers.nl/sites/rutgersnl/files/PDF-Onderzoek/Seksuele_Gezondheid_in_NL_2017_23012018.pdf</ref>

In a survey by YouGov from 2019, around 18% of men said they had no close friends. Only 12% of women said the same.<ref>https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21041784</ref><ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7488709/One-five-men-no-friends-loneliness-epidemic-leaves-thousands-living-isolation.html</ref>

Further, 88% of Britons aged from 18 to 24 said they experience loneliness to some degree, 24% often and 7% saying they are lonely all of the time.<ref>https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/campaigns/unlock-loneliness/research-briefing</ref>
