Question

The share of US adults reporting no sexual intercourse in the previous year seems to have gone up over the last decade. The change appears to be driven mostly by young people, especially young men.

What percentage of US men under 30 will report no sexual intercourse in the previous year in 2024?

This question will resolve according to the General Social Survey.

This question will resolve ambiguously if the General Social Survey stops asking about sexual intercourse in the previous year.
