Is the denominator here all respondents, or only never married respondents? That is, is this (never married&no sex)/(never or ever married) or (never married & no sex)/(never married)? I assume it's the former?pic.twitter.com/3uz0Vd3eza

This is: never married, 22-35 year old men/women who report not having had sex in the last year, divided by total never married 22/35 year olds who report any sexual frequency, multiplied by the ACS/Census measured share of the 22-35 M/F population which is never married.
