Men higher in partnered sex (it is not clear if this is true for sex in general) do tend to masturbate less, though it is more likely that men display a compensatory pattern for masturbation (which is not generally found among women), which rather suggests that men masturbate more when they can't get sex rather than the masturbation being the cause of them not being able to get sex.<ref>https://rd.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-022-02305-8</ref> This study found evidence for clusters of heavy masturbators who were sexually satisfied, and heavy masturbators who were highly sexually unsatisfied, as opposed to high sex satisfaction/low masturbation and low sexual satisfaction/low masturbation, suggesting that incels who masturbate a lot are simply those with higher sex drives, as opposed to high portion of completely sexless people who seem to be asexual.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3947171/</ref>
