Using YRBSS, NSFG, and GSS, the author finds the Gini of sexual activity has risen mainly because the share of virgins increased, while overall dispersion (absolute inequality) has actually narrowed. This means the distribution is getting 'spikier at zero' rather than more dominated by a small group of hyper‑actives. The male share of rising sexlessness is growing fastest.
— This reframes 'incel vs. Chad' talk by showing inequality is driven by more people having no sex rather than a few having much more, shifting how we think about social policy, mental health, and dating markets.

The article analyzes the lead SNP from Abdellaoui et al.'s sexlessness GWAS and reports a Holocene‑long decline in its frequency, suggesting selection against sexlessness‑linked liability; this genetic time trend provides context for the existing idea’s modern behavioral finding that sexlessness is rising due to environmental factors rather than biology alone.

The article’s explicit claim that the sex Gini is rising due to more virgins while absolute inequality declines, based on YRBSS/NSFG/GSS triangulation.
