AT: The world is changing and for young people, those changes are having a profound effect on their sex lives. A new survey from the General Social Survey has found the portion of Americans 18 to 29 reporting no sex in the past year more than doubled between 2008 and 2018, to 23 percent.
It’s even higher for millenial men – 28% reported having no sex last year. The number of young women abstaining from sex is smaller but still saw an 8% increase since 2008.
The lack of sex is being driven mainly by young men. In the last decade the share of young men saying they had no sex in the last year has nearly tripled to 28 percent. Young women have seen an increase since 2008 of 8 percentage points.
Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, said that partnering up later in life is contributing to sexlessness.
“There are more people in their twenties who don’t have a live-in partner,” she said. “So under those circumstances I think less sex is going to happen.”
Participation in the labor force among young men has also declined in the last decade, and young men are more likely to live with their parents than young
“When you’re living at home it’s probably harder to bring sexual partners into your bedroom,” Twenge said.
She also cited technology as a factor. “There are a lot more things to do at 10 o’clock at night now than there were 20 years ago,” Twenge said. “Streaming video, social media, console games, everything else.”
Another factor driving what’s being referred to as “America’s sex drought” is the aging population. While the number of people over 60 not having sex has remained constant at 50%, the increased population of seniors has driven the overall numbers higher. more
With the VD rate going through the roof, those numbers mean there’s some really skanky women out there staying extremely busy.
The other 2/3rds were not married.
What about sex with themselves???
I’m sure plenty of “men” had sex in ’18. Soy-boys, Femboys and Cucks not so much.
Or protesting to destroy the Earth. After fright night in the House of Commons gallery…anything goes today.
“It has long been a thoroughly British trait to be able to ignore pointless nakedness.”

…it doesn’t help at ALL that the young men don’t know if they’re with an ACTUAL young woman or not until the moment of truth, and once bitten, twice shy as they say…
Sadly, I can sympathize.
No sheep were available for comment.
Now let’s survey MILITARY men (aka real men).
Third Wave Feminism can be attributed for a lot of this
The headline should read “Nearly 1/3 of men didn’t have sex with someone other than themselves last year”.
JD is spot on, today’s feminazis are not attracted to the weaklings they created.
Attention men 18-29 years old. Safety tip #274184. More sex will not occur as the hands on the clock cruelly take their toll. The Voice of experience on long dry spells.
Notice they leave out mention of the MGTOW movement.

In other News: PG&E confirmed reports they had added two new Gas Turbine Power Plants last year to no fanfare or even a public announcement.
PG&E Spokesperson Pat McPhartus did acknowledge they were forced into the decision of fossil fuel plants over green solar. “When the sun is mostly down the server farms over there at PornHub really kick it up a notch. We’ve been having problems making sure they have the electrical energy they need.”
Whaaaaaat?
jerkin off ain’t sex ??
Jill gotzta see dis!
That explains why women in their 20s are easy pickings
Pfffft… 1 year. BIG whup. 🙄
Just wait until you’ve been married 23 years… and haven’t had sex in 14 years! Let’s see how you millennial wusses hold up THEN!!! 😉
Fly down to Columbia SA with us, the Venezuelans love our US Dollars and the sex with a Latin beauty is second to none, and pretty inexpensive too.
There may be a legitimate fear factor involved, too.
I would be leery of getting too close to some young women for fear of being accused of being – horrors! an aggressive male!!!
And, getting married first is no big help if it all goes wrong and you lose your home, children and income because she was a lazy, mentally unstable person who didn’t want or “need” sex, either.
Sadly, speaking of almost firsthand experience.
A lot of angst over something that happens once a year and takes only 5 seconds.
Has anyone seen what colleges are turning America’s young women into?
It’s not marriage material.
Imagine going on a date with someone and if it doesn’t go well that it’s broadcasted to several hundred people. Social media rewards narcissists and sociopaths and is distorting people’s relationships.
“I’m not gonna marry a woman who’s fucked every other guy in the company – go to a cocktail party and she’s slept with 13 of the guys there.”
(paraphrased from some whiny article I read years ago about guys who avoid marriage)
Civilization is founded on family and … oh … what’s the use?
Cry in the wilderness and eat locusts … very little of what John preached remains – the most relevant parts – but very little.
