Yeah, so that was a big kind of statistic that was flying around there.

There's some new statistics actually that show that that sexlessness uniquely being towards young men has actually reversed somewhat.

And part of that might be that during the pandemic, young men might have been more risk taking and they'd be more inclined to go out.

During the pandemic, they were taking bigger risks.

I thought for sure that number was going to go the other way.

Right.

Yeah.

But young men would be less kind of disgust sensitive than women.

So they'd be willing to maybe take the risk, especially for sex.

So that has reversed somewhat.

So the sexlessness for men was going up up until 2018.

But now the new statistics are showing that it's not uniquely men that are sexless.

The women have actually overtaken them.

And that's what we're saying might be a response to the pandemic, that women would be staying in more risk adverse comparing to men.

Men would actually go out and take the risk to have sex.

Yeah, I think men typically will be more willing to take the risk.

Women won't.

There'll be fewer women who will take the risk and more men would be willing to have sex with them.

That's just one theory.

The other idea could be that it's just a naturally kind of cycling back and forth that this unique spike in sexlessness for young men wasn't any major artifact at all and it's kind of evening out.
