    2008 was the beginning of the recession, and in many ways things never really recovered. Cost of college never went down. Housing remains unattainable for most young people. And the job market is becoming more exploitative than ever.

    Financial uncertainty creates anxiety. People with too much anxiety don’t have the time or energy for relationships and family. As it happens, countries where this is felt even more, like Korea and Japan, have it far worse.

      And it’s a hard sell to get a girl at a bar/club to come back to your mom’s house.

        by that logic, nobody would have sex while in high school. And japan would have basically no virgins, since they have the love hotels.

        btw, america needs those. very covenient, and with the housing prices and everyone living with their parents, very much in demand

    “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.

      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.

      Yeah some of these virgins are bi guys who had sex with a girl in their teens and met the man they’d marry in high school.

    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?

      When most people have to worry about their rent & food everyday of their life while working for ludicrous amounts of time every week, having a family or relationships in general just look like more expenses for the individual. It’s not an issue only men face either.

    men under 30 who report zero female sex partners since turning 18

    Okay, but what about male partners?

    Also, can we clarify whether we’re defining “sex” as “sexual contact” versus “penial vaginal intercourse”? Because I think ex-President Clinton is still a virgin under the second definition.

    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.
