Sexual loneliness: A neglected public health problem?
I love how the article compares the unequal distribution of sex partners with the unequal distribution of wealth, because in my opinion that might be part of the cause.<p>I would predict that being able to afford a nice apartment in a good area close to date locations will easily 10x your sex chances.<p>There have been other studies about young men struggling to find jobs that pay well enough for them to become financially independent, and there&#x27;s been a lot of discussions about Hikkomori and the Japanese Grasseaters movement, which is basically older guys that refuse to move out of their parent&#x27;s home.<p>My overall impression is that a bad economy and bad job market makes it difficult for young men to become independent and that makes it extremely difficult for them to become sexually active. Because despite all progress with regards to gender equality, the overwhelming majority of girls prefers to date a guy who can afford a nice shirt and a nice appartment.
