The General Social Survey found that "the portion of Americans 18 to 29 reporting no sex in the past year more than doubled between 2008 and 2018, to 23 percent

  23% in 2018. It was about ~35% or so in 2022 IIRC. And then you have to also factor in that men tend to lie a bit on these surveys. Also factor in that it's only asking if they got laid in the past 1 year. Do it 6 months, and the figure shoots way up. IMHO, the time gap should be no more than a month or so. That would define real incels. 1 year is way too much.

    "Real incels are people that haven't had sex for a month" What do you mean by this?

      That men who want sex, but cannot have it for a period of month should be counted as incels regardless of whether they think they are incels or not. People seek divorce if their spouse isn't having sex with them for a month. I am applying that same heuristic to inceldom.

        That's insane nonsense.
