How many people haven't had sex in the past month? - Guardian Article

http://www.theguardian.com/news/reality-...nt-had-sex

Quote:Quote:

When you look at a spreadsheet of numbers, it's useful to think about the people behind them. So, when I saw the percentage of 25 to 34 year olds that haven't had sex in the past four weeks, I asked my friends at dinner what they thought the number would be.

And a funny (albeit slightly predictable) thing happened: those that hadn't had sex recently guessed a much higher percentage than those that had. Paul (in a long-term relationship) guesses 7% of men his age haven't had sex in the past four weeks while perpetually single Chris puts it at 55%.

Both of them are wrong, a lot wrong. The National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles asks 15,000 British adults about their sexual experiences through face-to-face interviews. But some more sensitive questions are reserved for a self-completed questionnaire.

One of those sensitive questions is "have you had any sex in the past four weeks?". The chart below shows the percentage of respondents that said no.

What's happening?

Depending on who you are and what assumptions you have about sexual activity, these results from the Medical Research Council might surprise you. For me, one anomaly jumps out straight away: the gap between men and women.

On average, there is an 8 percentage point difference between the men and women who answered. That's a considerable gap that would mean millions more men than women have had sex in the past four weeks. There seem to be four possible explanations for that discrepancy.

1. Homosexual men outnumber homosexual women and they have more sex
2. Several men are sleeping with the same woman - and that situation is being repeated nationwide
3. Men are more more likely to lie to make it seem that they're having more sex
4. Women are more likely to lie to make it seem like they are having less sex

Without more data on sexual preferences and attitudes, it's not possible to work out which of those is the case.

The missing virgins

Explanations 3 and 4 above show how important wording is. Asking 'have you had any sex in the past four weeks?' could elicit very different responses to 'has anyone willingly had sex with you in the past four weeks?'.

In fact, even the four weeks bit is very important. Those bars in the chart above represent people that haven't had sex in the past four weeks, but they also represent people that haven't had sex in the past four months, the past four years and even people that have never had sex. But because there's only one question, phrased in only one way, it's not clear how that breaks down.

There is one company that thinks they do know, because their profitability depends on them knowing: Durex. Only, rather than calling it 'virginity' they keep a close eye on 'age at first sex' and they seem to know a lot about it. For example, their 2007 survey found that PhD students will on average have their first sexual experience at 20.25 years, compared to 19 years for those who never completed university. Silver linings maybe.

Durex even claim to know how the age at which people first have sex varies between countries. Malaysia has the highest average age in the world (23.7 years) and it also has the highest rate of confidence (42% of Malaysians felt they were ready for that first sexual encounter). Silver linings maybe.

By contrast, Austrians feel almost as confident (38% of the said they were ready) even though the average age they first have sex is considerably younger; 17.5 years old. So clearly, age isn't everything.

36,4% of the responding females between 16 and 24 allege they haven't had sex in the last four weeks.

Here is an article which says that the middle aged are having more sex than the young.
[quote]
Official stats show only three quarters of us got lucky last year – compared to 90% among the middle aged.

Students are having less sex than their parents, a shock new study has revealed.

Research by medical mag Lancet found only three quarters of 16-24 year olds had sex last year, compared to 90% among the middle aged.

And our generation is so frigid that a 64-year-old is more likely to get their end away than an undergraduate.

This is statistically as likely to happen as a 54-year-old giving a blowjob

While you're dicking about on Tinder, they're getting down to it

The report also found:

• The average Brit has sex five times a month – down from six a decade ago.
• Anal is the only sex we have more than our parents – they match us for oral.
• More than half of the nation’s OAPs shagged last year, and 3% did anal.

The news will fuel growing claims that our generation is the most puritanical since the 1950s. It follows exclusive Tab research from earlier this year which discovered that a whopping 12% of students are still virgins.

INFOGRAPHIC
This graphic shows the percentage of each age group that had taken part in the sexual activity.

As this graphic shows, our generation in the past year actually had vaginal, oral and manual sex fewer times in the past year than most of our parents did although that trend doesn’t hold for anal sex which is statistically a young man’s game.

Research published in the Lancet medical journal has shown that on average men get their leg over 4.9 times a month while the average woman enjoys some how’s your father 4.8 times a month.

Sights like this could become a rarity outside of council libraries
This is now more likely to happen at a council library than a university one

The average shag rate of five per month is disappointing for British sex enthusiasts as it represents a drastic decline from previous figures which had shown both sexes enjoying hanky panky more than six times every month.

For men the friskiest age group was between 25 and 34 which, boys, implies that your tutor’s probably putting it around more than you are.

The next winner will probably be a virgin

Reasons put forward for the fall in fornication include the increased use of pornography as a substitute for old-fashioned bonking with horny students taking the problem in hand rather than reaching out for some help.

The distracting power of modern technology has also been blamed with twitter replacing slap-and-tickle and laptops more popular than lap dances.

I believe it. As much as men keep repeating that all women are promiscuous sluts, study after study keeps showing that a lot of us are having sex with the same bishes. Hell, even over here in Southeast Asia where it's supposed to be so easy to get laid, members on this forum repeatedly keep finding out they're doing the same girls. Women often go longer without sex and it doesn't affect them as much, and the ones that do get laid on the regular usually latch on to a guy and stick with him for a while.

They can run through guys on the regular if they want, of course, but not all do it.

By the way, something that stood out for me is that map with the average sex age. Indonesia showing 23 - 25 especially sounds nice. Not a big surprise but interesting nonetheless - good place for guys who like virgins or are seeking long-term set-ups, I'd say.

Yep. I don't have the link right now, but I do recall a very thorough study that found this to be true. The problem, though, was that these women had sex mostly with men who have had 10+ partners a year (in other words, once a nice girl eventually has sex, she has a huge chance of having with a player, leaving the infinite Beta hordes dry).

Always keep in mind that a woman can be a worthless slut without being promiscuous at all. Just look at that "worst christian woman" that was described a few weeks ago.

Well, a problem for guys who never get laid, anyways... [Image: biggrin.gif]

In terms of guys, I'm very surprised about how HIGH this is.

I guess this is skewed by guys who have girlfriends and bang them every day?

It's weird looking back, but as members of this forum, we often forget how LITTLE guys get laid when they have no game/aren't red-pill.

My close-friend group in Britain was considered very 'promiscuous' while we were at university.

I used to think I got laid frequently, but oh man was I deluded. It's an absolute joke that we got labelled with that term.

Our mate 'Alex' banged eight girls one year and was seen as 'the man' of the group. On Facebook, when something funny came up, we'd joke about 'sending in Alex' to clear the place up. The comments would get like twenty 'likes'.

Outside our group though, there were plenty of good-looking guys who were only averaging one girl a year or less.

I did Civil Engineering. It was 90% guys. Despite the nerdy subject, a lot of the dudes were were really good looking and well-built. But, they weren't getting any play, despite going out three times a week.

I can't think of anyone who was getting more than our (reflectively) paltry amount, and we were the kids sporting emo fringes and skinny jeans FFS! We just loved drinking and understood you had to approach.

I remember one guy in particular. He's easily an 8/10, but I think he's still a virgin! He looks great. He works out every day and has a chiseled jaw, but he doesn't approach. It's unfathomable how a guy like him can't get laid when that 5/10 bitch at closing time is always leaving with someone.

So, how many guys don't approach/don't know game/don't think like us? (recent ROK articles are an indication) the VAST majority, right?

Hell, how many guys even have an interest in getting laid? Many young guys are content with alcohol, video games and social media these days.

So yeah, in conclusion, if anything, these rates seem high to me.

The notch rates we get here are just incomprehensible to the average Joe. If we all went and told our blue-pill friends our annual bang rate, they'd think we were full of shit.

Truth is, 10% of men are fucking 90% of the women (#OccupyRooshStreet)

The 'alphas' are HUGELY bringing up the average, whilst the 'betas' are getting nothing.

Awhile back a few old friends were at the bar begging me to come out. It was around midnight and they asked what was taking so long. I sent a picture of the girls pussy that i was with.

They assumed it was fake. So I sent another one with me flipping them off.

The girl then drove me to the bar. These guys could not fathom how I just got laid, got the girl to drive me to the bar, and got a new girls phone number while I was there. It blew there mind.

I didn't even pull a second girl, I just got a phone number. And it blew there mind. THats the typical mindset of your average guy.

When the previous girl picked me up from the bar and brought me home, she had cleaned my apartment, folded all my clothes, and wrote a little love note to me on my chalkboard wall. She was a good girl.

God'll prolly have me on some real strict shit
No sleeping all day, no getting my dick licked

I bet they were whining about how girls always like assholes after you left.

I can actually remember a buddy saying that shit directly to me. Not in an accusing manner but more like "life is so unfair" mopey manner. About some girl I told him I was going to break up with because she was more into than I was.

The woman in question was a manipulative slut. Hell, you can have her if you think she's that special, Buddy - that's what I was thinking at the time.

Yes well - after seeing those devastating pie charts, a Beta man has to truly be a fool not to learn game and start moving into the other group. But I have pity for them nonetheless.

I've been involved in the Scientific Process enough times to know that if you give a woman a self-report form and the promise of full anonymity, she'll operate under the assumption that she's secretly being judged, and so won't answer truthfully: she'll just give what she guesstimates is a socially-acceptable answer based upon her hamster. You can see it happening: men fill them out quickly, wanting to get it over. Women go to mark something, pause, think, pause again, then fill in the bubble they weren't hovering over initially.

I've, (very-tactfully), argued against them repeatedly for this reason, but they're a low-effort way to draw spurious assumptions from vague data sets, and the cost of the experiment is much cheaper, so it's more likely to secure funding. Junk methodology for junk science.

So yeah, Everybody's a whore or nobody's fucking is spot on. Who knows? Though, based on those figures, I'm probably a dirty fucking manwhore.

This.

I remember going out for a colleague's birthday in Taipei. (He's your standard 33 year-old Beta dude.)

After saying hello to him and his friends I did the rounds and approached girls.

I was talking to two 34-year-olds (OK, it was a SHIT venue haha) and after a minute I looked behind me and saw the three of them staring at me, putting their hands up like 'WTF' and talking about me like I was demented.

Then later I was talking to a group of younger girls. It was going well and he came up, interrupted us and said "Looks like you're doing quite well here Leighton ;-)". (Yeah, cheers for the cockblock :/)

BUT, do you know what's more annoying? This guy always states how "Taiwanese girls love white guys" and shit.

He states how his friend 'Thomas' had a rock and roll lifestyle in Seoul, and how he loves Taiwan for the easy women.

He told me how I did Korea 'all wrong' and I should have done 'this and that'

He gives out advice about girls, BUT this is his girlfriend:

So, what is my point?

NEVER trust any information you get outside of this forum. They just have no idea. They're not clocked in to our way of life. It's worthless.

It's like asking a six-year-old for the -ins and -outs of child psychology, or asking a British guy about the draft system in American football, or asking an American about the rules of cricket. (or asking a British guy about the rules of cricket. As far as I'm aware the average game lasts six years and 500-8 is either shit or amazing)

They just don't know. 90% of people who took this survey have not swallowed the 'red-pill'. (That expression has become very cheesy, but it's a good one)

You've still got guys who think women approach men as much as men approach women. You've still got guys who think they'll get somewhere being 'a gentlemen' and you've still got guys complimenting girls before they've put their dick in the hole.

If you ever want to see how different this community is to the populace, go on your facebook and look at your blue-pill friends. Facebook is a time machine for me now.

It's weird I only count have many girls I've laid each month, not the number of times I've had sex.

5 times laid per month average seems pretty high though. How many different women is that?
