A new study suggests that an increasing number of women who have graduated from college in the United States have no sexual experience, with a notable decline in sexual desire among them.

According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, Dr. Sarah Hill, a professor at Texas Christian University specializing in women’s health, revealed on The Diary of a CEO podcast that the percentage of female college graduates in the U.S. who remain virgins has reached an all-time high.

Dr. Hill’s assertions are corroborated by research from UCLA, which has tracked behavioral trends, including sexual activity, through annual health interview surveys of California residents. In 2021, the survey found that 38% of young adults aged 18 to 30 reported having no sexual partners in the past year, the highest rate in a decade.

This marks a substantial increase of 16 percentage points compared to 22% in 2011. Another study indicated that in 2021, three out of ten Generation Z men did not have sexual intercourse the previous year.

Dr. Hill attributes this trend mainly to the significant gender imbalance in college admissions. In the spring of 2021, 59.5% of incoming first-year college students were female, while male students accounted for only 40.5%.

As the gender gap widens, male enrollment rates are declining more rapidly than female enrollment rates. Notably, in 2021, 400,000 fewer male students were enrolled compared to 2020, while the number of female students decreased by 200,000.

Dr. Hill explained, “Statistically speaking, women will likely face difficulties finding compatible partners in their immediate surroundings. This may lead some women to engage in less dating and sexual relationships.”
