The number of U.S. adults not having sex has reached a record high, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the General Social Survey.
Twenty-three percent of respondents, or nearly 1 in 4, reported having no sex in the past year, according to the Post. More than 30 percent of adults reported having monthly sex and nearly 40 percent reported having sex weekly or more.
Young men between 18 and 30 years of age saw one of the biggest declines in sexual activity, with 28 percent saying they had no sex over the last year. The same data from 1989 shows just 14 percent of men of the same age range reporting no sex.
Young women in the same age range, however, report higher rates of sexual activity, with only 18 percent saying they had no sex in the past year.
There are a number of reasons experts attribute to the decline in sexual activity, including technology, more people marrying or finding partners later in life and an increase in young men living at home.
The new analysis comes after data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier this year showed a decline in sexual activity among high schoolers.
The January CDC report shows just over 41 percent of students in grades 9 through 12 reported having had sexual intercourse, down from almost 47 percent in 2005 and from 53 percent in 1995.
Just under a quarter of 9th graders reported having sex, down 10 percentage points from a decade ago, while the number of 10th graders with sexual experience declined by 7 points, according to the report.
CDC researchers similarly attributed the decline among teens to technology, social media and also federal spending to prevent teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
The market research company where I wrangled data for a couple of years had a strict sales rule for the analysts: no sex surveys. I asked the VP I worked for why. “Because people lie about sex,” she told me. “Every time, all the time, all ages, and every study you read on it is garbage.” Oh.
Ha! Good one.
Really, that is one for the books!
Well that thought will make a lot of people limp for awhile.
Which means the numbers are likely to be even worse with fewer celibate women and more celibate men than this survey shows.
Porn and the man-destroying machine.
The ones claiming once a month are bragging.
The ones claiming more than that are just lying.
Bill: "How ya doing, John? Been getting any on the side lately?"
John: "Nah, Bill. I haven't gotten any in so long, I didn't know they moved it."
“..and “Michelle Obama is beautiful” so says the media. LOL”
Yeah, and stepping in warm puke on your kitchen floor, barefoot, with a hangover, suffering from the flu, with the cops at the door,...
Always wanted to be trendy.
And I should care - - - why? It’s a private affair.
YangGang can get in front of this.
The future belongs to those who reproduce.
The Democrats are getting ready for legal prostitution.
I came here to say that. Beat me to it.
What it means is some guy is getting all the sex.
And he’s probably black.
;)
WHere the Puritans failed the feminists have succeeded in implementing a utopia of sexless fanatics beyond their wildest dreams.
Where I work, I see white female customers of all ages dragging around stud-looking men of every conceivable ethnicity. You can't tell me they aren't getting it on, it's so obvious.
These women love third world neanderthals who've never heard of feminism.
White neanderthals are an endangered species if not already extinct.
BTW some of the most breathtakingly beautiful women I see now in the store are Latinas. The men they bring with them are tattooed, muscled, and gold-chained to the hilt.
So who's having multiple sex partners and who isn't getting any? The invaders always get the invading country's women. It's a historic certainty.
Subtle one. Took me a while to get it.
“Twenty-three percent of respondents, or nearly 1 in 4, reported having no sex in the past year”
23.0001%.
What? You'd rather have more animals behaving like the brute beasts typical of the cast of Saturday Night Fever?
Yeah, I'd rather have today's youth keeping their bodies under control because they understand absolute moral values. But anytime fools don't copulate, conceive children, murder children..........that's a win. Regardless the reason.
