      Stunning chart: the share of men under 30 who aren't having sex has nearly tripled in the past decade https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-americans-not-having-sex-has-reached-record-high/?utm_term=.50d764f2c767 …pic.twitter.com/HVVmffy7Jc

      Those numbers are helping drive a big shift in American sex-having habits: the number not getting laid is at a record high. Conversely, the number reporting sex weekly or more is on the decline. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-americans-not-having-sex-has-reached-record-high/?utm_term=.50d764f2c767 …pic.twitter.com/n6htQQPBMB

      Christopher Ingraham Retweeted Aschleigh

      Glad you asked! 1. Young male labor force participation has fallen. Less work = less relationships = less sex 2. Alongside that, men in that age group are more likely than women to live with their parents which presents... obvious barriers to having sex.https://twitter.com/aschleigh/status/1111608864040996865 …

      There also *might* be a #MeToo effect considering the drastic rise in 2018. But that's pretty speculative at this point, and the expert I talked to for this story noted that the rise in young men's celibacy was well underway prior to 2018.https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-americans-not-having-sex-has-reached-record-high/?utm_term=.a553ca9dda48 …

      I see a lot of jokes along these lines BUT: married people are way more likely to have sex. For instance only 11 percent of the married didn't have sex last year, compared to 34 percent of the unmarried https://twitter.com/elverkonge/status/1111610419200827393 …pic.twitter.com/zLNBV5NdSP

      Final datapoint: the share of young men reporting no female sex partners since they turned 18 -- a rough a proxy for virginity -- more than tripled since 2008. I say rough proxy bc 1) some had sex in their teens and 2) some exclusively have male partners.pic.twitter.com/nCJly8s3Ok

          Oh also: 18-30 year olds are nearly *twice* as likely to report past-year celibacy as 50-somethings, which is frankly amazing https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-americans-not-having-sex-has-reached-record-high/?utm_term=.9a0df62d8d52 …pic.twitter.com/SCdLVr55S4

          Did anyone find a correlation with rise in virginity to smart phone use age? The iPhone was released in June 2007. A big part of starting an emotional connection is making eye contact.pic.twitter.com/HjiFfgeVwE

          Or maybe because they have easy access to porn with their phone they're able to control their urges.

          As an asexual, I don't see the issue not/never having sex. I can pleasure myself without the need/emotional dependency of another party to achieve physical euphoria.

          Wait- as a society, weren't we pushing young people to wait before having sex? Wasn't that suppose to be a good thing? This whole article makes it sound like social scientists are suddenly concerned about the lack if sex by young men. This is a good thing.

          Well I was always taught abstinence since sex ed in grade school so I'll probably wait till I'm 30 or married. It's not a big deal.

          Its porn. Easily attainable through the smart phone without having to put in the work in courting a woman. Men can satisfy their sexual needs without putting in the work.
