No. The sample sizes used mean that this is all noise on the graph.

I looked at the partner count sample for basically this same group on Monday and it was decently large so I’m surprised the sexual frequency question is such a low N, unless it was a result of conditioning on marriage.

There’s not close to the power you need to meaningfully detect an interaction. I mean even if you didn’t know anything about the size of the GSS it’s obvious from getting 0% celibacy for women.

What’s the interaction? I mean my thread about this was skeptical about any appreciable movement in overall male sexual frequency and partner count. It seems possible that there’s been significant change in the number totally non-sexually active.

This is implicitly trying to get at celibacy as a function of year, sex, and year x sex; there’s the interaction. Anything’s possible but people should basically not update at all from this graph

I mean, what happens isn't we see the graph and radically change our understanding of the world to fit it

what happens is we see the graph, share it because we suspect it might be a point in favor of something we already ambiently feel about the world

then if it gets shared enough it becomes a new planetoid around which the discourse revolves for a few days to a week

dozens of blue journalists and cultural commentators across the globe are suddenly forced to write 1-2k words about how it's definitely not true and if it is it doesn't matter anyway

and maybe a few academics see it and are like "huh that might be something to look into for real?" and a few years later they publish and no one notices but esoteric graphpoaster accounts
