The Number Of Sexless Men Increased By 250% in 10 Years
Men are getting laid less and less. Why is that?
I recently came across a shocking statistic.
It showed that men seem to get laid less and less.
After thinking about it for a bit, I could confirm the described developments from my own experience. I know a lot of guys who struggle quite a lot to attract women.
Accordingly, their dating success is very limited, to put it nicely…But it seems that this was not always the case.
The fact that surprised me the most was that the number of men between 18 and 30 years old tripled from 2008 to 2018.
A tripling.
You have to think about that.
I’m pretty sure the Corona pandemic has exacerbated this trend. Unfortunately, I could not find more current data.

As you can see in this chart, the percentage of sexless women has increased much less than that of men. Moreover, I dare say that a larger proportion of women do not have sex voluntarily. Among men, one must assume that most would like to have sex.
I think this disparity is related to female privilege in the dating market. Generally speaking, it is much easier for women to attract men than it is for men to attract women.
Men are more interested in casual sex and women are clearly more choosy. This is the reality of human nature and not only a stereotype as the study described in this article impressively showed.
What Are The Reasons?
Porn
In 2008 the number of sexless men began to skyrocket. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that porn might have played a role in this development.
From that time on, it was quite normal for every private household to have an Internet connection. A little later, smartphones became popular on the market. Pornhub went online in May 2007.
Of course, correlation does not equal causality, but I think there is a connection.
Maybe, men were no longer forced to meet women in real life to satisfy their needs. It simply might have been much more convenient to enjoy artificial intimacy at home.
A sad but logical development.
Attractiveness/ Fitness
The number of overweight men trended in the exact opposite direction to the number of sexless men. Is this a coincidence?
Maybe, but something tells me it isn’t.
Since women, as already described, are much more choosy when choosing a partner, an increase in obesity drives up the male virginity rate in particular.
Worldwide Competition
Today, the whole world is connected. The internet makes it possible.
Whereas men used to have to be the most attractive in their village to have a wide choice of women, today they have competition from all over the world. In addition, women are constantly looking at pictures of the best-looking men on social media, which raises their expectations.
I can report from experience. A sports star from a foreign country once messaged my ex-girlfriend on Instagram.
Don’t worry, he is not the reason that she is my ex now.
What To Do As A Struggling Man?
The only thing you can do as a man to become more successful with women is to work on yourself.
Physically, financially, socially, and so on.
Become the best version of yourself and you will surely attract some women.
