The Influencers Normalizing Not Having Sex
"Dominique Silver, a trans woman and supermodel, has been a porn star for around two decades but has chosen to abstain from intimacy for the past year. She notes that many of her friends, including cisgender supermodels, are also not entertaining men right now."
"The National Survey of Family Growth indicates that sexlessness among young adult women has increased significantly, with the percentage of those who hadn't had sex in the past year rising from 8 percent to 13 percent over a decade."
Abstinence from sex is increasingly common among young adults, particularly women aged 22 to 34, with a 50 percent rise in sexlessness from 2013 to 2023. Factors contributing to this trend include anxiety about societal issues and a desire for autonomy. While both genders report similar loneliness levels, studies indicate that single women may experience greater happiness. New terms like femcel and boysober are emerging, reflecting this cultural shift. Individuals like Dominique Silver, a porn star, are also embracing celibacy, challenging stereotypes around sexual activity.
