What people are saying
The discussions show a mix of supportive acknowledgment of the study's conclusions, with examples such as mentions of how income and gender influence sexual activity and happiness. The tone varies from analytical to humorous, with some posts referencing the societal implications of the findings, which indicates moderate engagement and interest.
Most discussions acknowledge the study's findings, especially regarding demographic factors and happiness levels, showing general support.
The discussions are quite engaging, especially with comments about sociodemographic influences on sexless behavior and the social implications.
Participants demonstrate moderate engagement by referencing specific research findings, sharing interpretations, and adding related social observations.
The conversations reflect some impact on public understanding of sexual behavior patterns and the social dynamics surrounding mate choice and income, but the overall impact remains moderate.
Abstract in brief
- The study found that older age and being unmarried are the main factors linked to having no sexual activity in the past year among American adults, with some differences based on gender and income.
- Factors like poor health, very low income, lack of children, and conservative sexual attitudes are associated with sexlessness in women, while low income in men also shows a link.
- Importantly, the research indicates that not having sex does not negatively affect self-reported happiness levels once sociodemographic factors are taken into account.]

@la_otra_madre @Kalikrates6 @armesillaconde Women prefer high status men and fewer men than women reproduce as a result: In a large population survey, males with much lower income than their wives were 2.27 times as likely not to have sex. https://t.co/gEalZhwwQa (Kim 2017)
@NovemberQueen32 @IncelsCo @healthychangez https://t.co/uABRJzCW0l Some good scientific evidence of hypergamy here. Women are very sexually strict when it comes to mate selection and overwhelmingly prefer men of higher status and physical attractiveness to breed with. Also far more women than men reproduce
Americans who are not having sex are just as happy as their sexually-active counterparts. https://t.co/bzkfYttWoe

@datepsych It seems to be the trend among both single and married adults. Somehow, at least in the short term, it did not affect their happiness. I guess a meaningful/ good experience is more fulfilling than any experience. https://t.co/2h4jU2tHYd

@Dr_Tasman 74. Mężczyzna z mniejszą wypłatą od swojej kobiety będzie miał mniej okazji do seksu z nią. Kobieta z większych dochodem od swojego partnera zmniejsza szanse na seks o 50% https://t.co/cgkaMuIjbN
