The | As summarized in the [[demographics]] article, there is a trend towards less sex that appears to have accelerated recently. The decline in sexual activity can be traced back to 1930-born cohorts and it is ''not'' attributable to increased pornography use or working hours and is present in both the married and unmarried.<ref>http://link-springer-com-443.webvpn.fjmu.edu.cn/content/pdf/10.1007%2Fs10508-017-0953-1.pdf</ref> | ||
Along with the increase in inceldom, there is a decline in causal sexual activity and other risky behavior in the young. Among young women, 25% in variation of this decline is explained by less alcohol drinking. Among young men, different factors predict a significant decline in casual sex: Less drinking, more computer gaming, and cohabitation with parents. There is no evidence that trends in young adults’ economic circumstances, internet use, or TV watching explain the recent decline casual sexual activity,<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2378023121996854</ref> with excessive pornography consumption even rather correlating with a fast [[life history]] speed.<ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ab.21960</ref> In addition to cohabitation with parents, males also experience declining independence in terms of driver license ownership | Along with the increase in inceldom, there is a decline in causal sexual activity and other risky behavior in the young.

With regards to fast life history speed, there is an increase in risk-aversion reducing the rate causal sex (and increasing inceldom as a side-effect), and, on the other side there is a departure from (or deferral of) marriage traditions accompanied by increase in women's sexual self-determination, increasing inceldom and sexlessness among slow life history strategists as well. | With regards to fast life history speed, there is an increase in risk-aversion reducing the of rate causal sex (and increasing inceldom as a side-effect), and, on the other side there is a departure from (or deferral of) marriage traditions accompanied by increase in women's sexual self-determination, increasing inceldom and sexlessness among slow life history strategists as well. | ||
