Americans are saying no to sex like never before — with young men leading the depressing trend

Let’s not get it on.

Americans are losing interest in sex, a government study has found — with one astonishing age group leading the no-nookie trend.

Rates of sexlessness are climbing from coast to coast among adults ages 22 to 34, statistics plucked from the newly unsheathed National Survey of Family Growth showed — with 10 percent of young males and 7 percent of their female counterparts saying they’re still virgins.

“In sum, for young adult males, sexlessness has roughly doubled across all measures over the last 10 years or so. For young adult females, it has risen by roughly 50 percent,” according to the Institute of Family Studies (IFS), which published an analysis of the study.

The survey is conducted annually by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, with support from the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Researchers conducted face-to-face interviews with American men and women ages 15 to 49, collecting data on everything from bedroom behavior to reproductive health habits.

Besides the fact that virginity appears to be trending, the numbers also showed big jumps in sexually active men and women in the 22-34 age bracket reporting a serious lack of loving.

A whopping 24% of males 22-34 had not had sex in 2022-2023 — up from 9% in 2013-15. For females, the number was 13%, up from 8%.

And when asked if they’d had sex in the last three months, 35% of men said no — another big jump from 20%. Women didn’t fare much better, with 31% concurring this time around, up from 21%.

Narrowing the focus to discover when these trends began, the experts said that much of the jump occurred between 2019 and 2022 — the same time as the pandemic.

However, they also offered that COVID-era mandates couldn’t be solely blamed for the downturn in deed-doing.

“One of the biggest drivers of declining sexual activity is the decline in marriage. Married people have more sex, and for most young adults, marriage is occurring later or not at all. As a result, sex is declining,” they stated.

A previously published Pew Research study showed that a record 25% of Americans age 40 and younger had never been married.

Many in that age category reported living alone.

And late last year, a surprising survey suggested that married men age slower than their single counterparts.

But there’s a catch — they have to stay married. Separation, divorce or death of a spouse were seen to have negative impacts.

Women appeared to age at about the same rate, partnered or not, stats showed.
