What if you’re 38? Asking for a friend.
If your friend can hold it for 2 more years then they can get a movie made about them.
I bet young people today are more honest.
Also more gay.
In 2008 Sasha Grey win Performer of the Year award.
I am not going to figure out/imagine how many years ago was that, nope, no way, I know better.
Ah, you were educated in the Southeastern US too, huh? I don’t math good neither.
hugs
… no, I was born lucky enough to get my math skills out if US altogether. Im just old and 2008 feels like … several months ago.
zero female sex partners
Well that’s a meaningless study then
Not every study has to be about everything, there’s plenty of interesting things this tells us.
Lots of follow up studies too, are gen z women the same or do they all go for older guys or the same guy? Is this trend tied with sexual identity, how do men feel about it, do porn habits correlate, how does it split demographically and economically…
Doing a study on all these factors would be huge and expensive, getting a good data point to inform future study design is a vital step.
But yeah look up the paper I bet they asked more than one question and have a methodology based on sound principles trying to increase understanding of a complex subject.
Meaningful if you’re looking for predictors on birth rates, I suppose. Usually I see studies like this used to explain why populations start to decline.
It’s interesting, but that stat doesn’t really tell us everything. It only looks at guys who haven’t been with any women since they turned eighteen. A lot has changed since 2008, especially with more same-sex couples being open and accepted. That detail alone could throw off those numbers. Plus, with all the tech and social changes, who’s to say people’s sex lives haven’t shifted in other ways too?
Emphasis on “female”.
Even in the late 1900s that number is still way higher than I thought it would be.
“late 1900s” is something I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to hearing.
I never know if 1900s means 1900-1909 or 1900-1999.
See that peak a little while after 1989?
I lost my virginity in 1993.
😎
To who?
The girl I was having sex with.
Yeah and her name was? Matilda?
you wouldn’t know her, she’s from Canada.
Why on Earth do you think I’d tell you what her name was?
So it was Matilda.
I’d not surprised if women had a much lower percentage
You could’ve just said “Correlation does not imply causation” and moved on but man…
Correlation does not imply causation
what does this have to do with anything in this discussion?
The OP is a joke post, you don’t have to try so hard to prove your point since the OP is not even trying to be consistent.
The most virgin thing you could possibly say to seeing this
I’m not wrong tho
You literally are.
The study’s findings regarding sexual frequency declines among adolescents are particularly notable, according to Herbenick. The proportion of adolescents reporting neither solo masturbation nor partnered sexual behavior increased from 28% of young men and 49% of young women in 2009 to 43% of young men and 74% of young women in 2018.
the study in OPs post is about the percentage of men with no sex between 18 and 30. your study is about sex AND masturbation for ADOLESCENTS. you realize those are two different things, right?
anyways, here’s the graph completing OPs image (and proving me right)
The proportion of adolescents reporting neither solo masturbation nor partnered sexual behavior
Wow. I didn’t lose my virginity til I was 18 but for about 5 years before that I whacked it all the damn time. Was I just super horny as a youngun or are teen libidos going down?
aside from the social reasons, there is a general decline in testosterone over time in the population, probably due to estrogen-like compounds from plastic. So yeah, people are less horny. Doesn’t mean they are not horny, just less.
Don’t forget other factors, like stress, poor diet, reduced physical activity, and obesity. At least in the United States, all of these things are worse than ever.
Logically speaking how? Having sex with aliens? Or just being lesbians?
It would mean that there’s a subgroup of men that had more sexual partners than the average in the given timeframe.
“Young male virgins” equals “men under age 30 who report zero female sex partners since they turned 18”?
Good thing no male has sex before 18 or with anyone who isn’t female.
It’s confirmed.
The Bourne Ultimatum turned men gay.
More like Bourne Ulti-gay-tum.
I’ll see myself out.
Please.
😁
Right, like what’s the point in excluding this data? I guess it’s probably safe to assume if you had sex under 18 you probably have had sex after 18 but still odd that it’s like that.
I’m willing to bet that they just didn’t want the legal hastle of collecting data on minors. Also minors are going to be more likely to lie about any potential sexual history.
As far a why they excluded man on man action I have no idea. If the origional graph was in an article about declining birth rates or something then that may explain it but idk what the original article was so idk if that is the case.
I think that’s the one I tried to watch 3 separate times and fell asleep at the same exact spot each time. I’ve only ever actually seen the first and last quarter of the film.
So Jason Bourne turned everyone gay?
Or did he turn women into lesbians?
I mean, I guess millennials were right in the middle period between having a healthy sex life prior to 18 and then various life clusterfucks hit the generation. I can only assume ppl gave up, secluded, moisturised, in their lane, flourishing in their shituation as best they can.
Ok, now overlay young men under 30 who are into Ben Shapiro and Andrew Tate…
can you overlay a line on itself?
That’s when social media started earnestly taking a foothold. I am guessing maybe this has to do with depressed females (there are studies which indicate social media use affects females more and also depresses them). Depressed females likely have different preferences and standards than those who are not, perhaps. If you don’t like yourself, you’re unlikely to pursue and welcome relationships.
Alternatively, that was the time of the Great Recession. Perhaps some young adults in general are too economically stressed to do normal activities?
ugh i hate the word “females”. why not just say “women”
Because the study is clearly talking about goats. You only use the word “women” when you’re talking about humans.
In the context of this discussion, the chart title is “young male virginity on the rise”, so it doesn’t seem too far off the mark.
Yeah male virginity. Male is an adjective in this case.
Male or especially Female as a noun, has a very weird ring to it. Sounds kinda disrespectful, as said above, like your talk about cattle…
Eh, monkey see word male, monkey think female appropriate word to use when discussing things.
Monkey brain is not the smart brain, but I understand where it’s coming from.

Well broken clock, etc. etc.
Pornhub was launched on 25 May 2007. Just saying…
Just one more year until Pornhub is 18!
females
amirite?
I’m trying to understand your post. Do you mean that the number of young men who are virgins has risen because women are depressed, thus implying that all of these young men are involuntarily celebite?
Not all, it’s hard to say
Note that I am not “blaming” women for the lack of sex these men are getting. I am saying that if you’re comparing yourself to the best female in your group and her outcomes, then you’re constantly going to feel like you’re not doing good enough for yourself. You’re going to get depressed, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not coupling. But you’re restricting yourself and constraining your choices.
It’s an untested hypothesis, but here’s some prelim evidence: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/08/20/key-takeaways-on-americans-views-of-and-experiences-with-dating-and-relationships/
More women say dating is emotionally and physically risky now. What’s changed necessarily? I don’t know, I think it’s the hyper awareness induced by social media and also the increased economic pressures.
My hypothesis is that mankind unconciously sorted out that earth its not gonna hold much longer with the size of our population and decided to apply the sex breaks.
Whatever the cause is, it’s good to know that our best scientists are doing their best to make a better world both developing AIs and robots. Sex robots are on the next corner. And luckly, microplastics are making us dumber, so we will have a higher and faster acceptance of them too.
Also, social media is a major contributor to the isolation epidemic going on, as is the economic situation and the work culture of countries like the US.
So what I’m saying is, you’re probably right on all accounts.
I saw a great video once that went into how the economic situation is largely responsible for the cultural shift from “adult” as a thing you are to “adulting” - a thing you do. That from Millenials onwards, generations don’t feel economically secure enough to partake in traditional cultural norms of middle-class adulthood. Things like buying a house and popping out 2.5 kids.
Looks like I’m finally better than the majority at something!
