I'd not surprised if women had a much lower percentage

edit:

TRIGGER WARNING: this image contains scientifically correct data, which might cause some of you discomfort

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.

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.

I suppose it's a good thing, we need a slow, gentle population decline pretty badly IMO.

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)

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.

no but some idiots said I was wrong with saying that the percentage for women is lower and showed some random handpicked studies to "prove" it.

so I simply showed them OPs statistic but with the women's data added. they've been weirdly silent ever since

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.
