I must admit that there have been times when I’ve considered the possibility that life without “the General” would be a bit easier.

Depends what the meaning of ‘never’ is. /WJC

It’s kind of unnatural. I remember when I met my wife she had a friend, a pretty gal who was in her late 20’s and was a virgin. She had dated one particular guy for several weeks when one night he was kissing her and tried to slip her a tongue. She thought the concept revolting and ended the relationship. I just can’t imagine getting to the age of 40 as a virgin.

He also represents an estimated 1.1 million American men and 800,000 women aged 25 to 45 who have never had sex.

300,000 more women are NOT virgins compared to men? Interesting.

His team’s survey found that 13.9 percent of men and 8.9 per cent of women said they have never had sex.


That number seems really high (off) to me. The article also says that 1.1M between 25-45 never had sex. Surely, that can’t even be anywhere close to 10% of that population.

That being said, I think a fair number of people are just asexual—very low sex drives.

We've got to get these two groups together!

A growing number of people are virgins because they just do not have the energy to bring about a sexual relationship. For them, it is utterly exhausting to even try.

In most of the modern nations, the continual pressure and stress put on children to achieve, instead pushes many to exhaustion. Then, confronted with the near impossibility of having a successful career path like their parents, instead they face being burdened by deep academic debt for decades, when they should be raising a family.

Many of them are trying to be responsible, not marrying or having children because they know they cannot support them.

Others find sex to just be rote and dreary. Even their fantasies are drab.

I made it to my 15th birthday. Glad I saved it for the girl next door who was a year older.

“800,000 women aged 25 to 45 who have never had sex”

Didn’t know we had that many nuns in that age bracket in this country.

Hell, I didn’t think there was that many nuns period. LOL

I’m still a virgin at 33. Not by choice, I just haven’t been successful at attracting a husband. I’ve never had a boyfriend, either. I just don’t get asked out on dates.

There are a lot of depressed people who need antidepressants.
