https://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/news-opinion/the-number-of-men-under-thirty-reporting-no-sex-has-reached-record-highs

Despite the apparent ease of securing sex in the age of dating apps and hookup culture, young Americans seem to be having less of it than ever before.

According to The Washington Post, the number of adults in the United States who reported having no sex in the last year has reached an all-time high of 23 percent.

Citing the latest data from the General Social Survey, the Post reported a much larger than expected number of twenty-something men among the nations sexually inactive adults.

According to the survey, the portion of Americans between 18 and 29 reporting no sex in the last year has more than doubled in the last decade, leaping from 8 percent in 2008 up to 23 percent in 2018. Broken down by gender, the data also showed a significant and unprecedented divide between male and female respondents. While the number of women in that age group reporting no sex saw an 8 percent increase in the last 10 years, the number of men reporting the same has nearly tripled to a staggering 28 percent.

While the data suggested young Americans are responsible for the sharpest rise of sexlessness, it also revealed a nationwide dry spell. According to the Post, the number of adults who reported having sex at least once a week now sits at 39 percent, down from 51 percent in 1996.

Are people still gonna deny that there's a modern social problem that's ruining mating prospects for a sizable portion of people?

It's highly doubtful that 28% of young men just don't want to get laid.

Social media addiction creating mental illness and lack of sex drive

Tinder esque sites being fucking awful for most men

Society just putting men down any chance they can these days.

Women graduating college and earning more than men means they don't need to settle down and rely on men.

Not really surprising

It's studied to be strongly linked to mental health.

I mean, you don't NEED anything but the bare minimum shelter, food, water, and sleep, but people still complain when more secondary things are denied to them (especially at disproportionate rates compared to other people).

My personal perspective on this. I date a lot of women in their mid to early twenties. I'm 36. Many, many times I've heard that they prefer dating older guys for all sorts of reasons (usually true). I get more tail now then I ever did in my twenties. I'm not bad looking, but I'm not rich either. its more confidence, experience and maturity.

I mean, if a red piller said "The sky is blue" that doesn't mean that they are automatically wrong.

At the end of the day, I think both women AND men tend to play a role in hypergamy though. Women looking for men with wealth / not respecting men that they make more money than. And men looking for women that make less money than them cause otherwise they feel embarrassed or emasculated. And just in general not caring how much their SO makes as long as she's hot. Both sides are in part to blame, so it annoys me when people act like it's all women's fault.

I dunno, lol. It seems like this is uniquely a problem in a gynocentric leaning society. All the Asian, South American, etc.. countries are still all banging like rabbits and popping out shit tons of kids. What other reason could there be other than value disparity?

Honestly, I don't know enough about general Asian and South American social climates to really comment, but if those societies don't really push women into college and careers the way the U.S does, then it really wouldn't surprise me.

That being said, haven't there been some reports about a large percentage of Japanese men having little to no sex?

You are projecting hard. It doeasnt matter to most man how little or much a woman makes in their eyes becuase they dont give a f***. They value youth and beauty above all.

I know media likes to paint guys as being intimidated by the big bad career woman but.....no, they arent. Those womans standards are just to high is why they cant get a man. Due to hypergamy they wont marry down. And even if they did those relationship tend not to last becuase ultimately woman prefer a man who can take of them, and their children, not the other way around.

Contrary to popular belief humanity has not escaped its lizard brains as much as they think.

Particularly if he's a strong believe in historical gender roles.

Contrary to popular belief humanity has not escaped its lizard brains as much as they think.

I literally mentioned that as a reason for one. For two, I'm not sure why you think there can't be multiple reasons. For most of these social types of issues, rarely is there one reason, even if one reason tends to take precedent over another.

Next, I said what I said and I'm sticking by it. There are plenty enough men out there that are uncomfortable with their women making more than them (and vice versa) that the statement has merit. Particularly when the disparity is large. And I definitely don't deny that a large percent of women won't marry down, I even mentioned it. That's actually the point I was making, both sexes play a role in the situation.

Lastly, it's interesting that you brought up the argument of women wanting a man that can take care of them and their children without fully fleshing it out, particularly from a mans point of view. The whole idea of a man taking care of and providing for his family is ingrained into society, that's historically supposed to be a mans role and a large percentage of the population still plays into those roles. If a man makes less than his SO, particularly if he makes significantly less, you don't think that plays into his psyche at all? Like "Man I'm supposed to be the one providing for them but she's the main one doing it".

From an economic standpoint, it is.

You don't have to be mating yourself, but a portion of the population NEEDS to be replacing population numbers in order for the economy and most social support programs to effectively function. Nations need babies. And the primary method of producing those offspring (by a large margin) is still old fashioned mating.

A rising trend in people having less sex is not necessarily life-or-death, but it's a valid socioeconomical concern for a number of reasons. Not just because some people are bitter about it.

It is true and the "apparent ease" to have sex brought by dating apps mostly applies to a relatively few men.

What happens when you reduce the stigma of casual sex and make for more convenient access? The females choose to sleep with the top, maybe, 15 - 20% of males and disdain the rest.

Men, meanwhile, are much less discerning and most of them can't be.

Good, because these two:
Women looking for men with wealth / not respecting men that they make more money than.

And men looking for women that make less money than them cause otherwise they feel embarrassed or emasculated.

...are related. In many cases, one causes the other.

Yes, there are some men who get uncomfortable knowing that the woman in their lives brings in a bigger paycheck and it threatens their self-esteem. They're a portion of men.

However, an even greater portion of men would flat out stop being bothered by their girlfriend making more if the average woman was not so hung up on how much her boyfriend makes to begin with. If most women did not care about a man's income, most western men would not get bothered by the issue at all. It could even become an accepted norm. The fact that many woman DO consider it a standard issue is part of why many men are "intimidated" about falling behind. Because the women they want to date will literally penalize them for it...

Population issues can be solved by immigration. Low birth rates are not a problem everywhere and there is no shortage of people looking to move to places with low birth rates.

But I see what you're saying, didnt think of it

There are many times where it's easier just to beat off because at least one of us is usually exhausted from taking care of the kids. But it's certainly not my preference.
