      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

          It’s not need. It’s fear. If an accident happens many can’t feed themselves and their child or afford daycare or college. And slut shaming, celibacy campaigns, politics. 100% of women won’t have sex w/ 50% of men because they have 100% opposing values. Sex supply is 50% lower.

          Thank your mom for me also! We need all the good men we can right now. The most important thing a man can do may be to find like-minded women who share his political perspective and establish friendships. It’s hard to say no to sex with a man you genuinely like as a person.

          One wonders if those using targeted psy ops on the population via social media (& Cambridge Analytica) might have something to do with this.

          Wish I were kidding, but I’m not. The #MeToo movement may partly be a response to some men being triggered to be celibate/resentful/violent.

          Is it possible that access to online porn from as early as reaching a sexual age has something to do with this? A teen male with very little access to sex may become enticed by online porn, that becomes a far more comfortable experience than competing for a partner as an adult.

          It makes for a nice one-two combo. The social environment has become increasingly competitive and there is more access to individualized stimulation.

          Very interesting studies. I would not be surprised to find upon digging deeper that MANY of the SAME things causing this is also causing school shootings to increase. (i.e. Internet addiction, phone addiction, App addictions, social media addictions, common core, no hope, debt)

          Be interesting data point with a site like Porn Hub to see if their increase in the same demo matches up.. Could be men are just using porn more so don’t pursue sex as much..
