Just over the past decade.

It's basically right in line w/ the rise in prominence of dating apps, especially ones like Tinder where looks is all that matters.
There's been OK Cupid and other sites doing surveys where women find 80% of men to be "below average" and how utterly massively skewed matches received are for men vs. women. Seems like dating has turned into feast or famine for men. I'm glad I'm out.

"Data from the General Social survey indicates that around 23% of men aged 18-30 reported abstaining from sex in the past year. The percentage of young men abstaining increased from 10% in 2008 to 28% in 2018, while women reported slightly better numbers."

Suspected factors seem to be prolonged living at home, influence of social media, video games and other distractions. All this goes hand in hand with the "rise of the alpha male" influencers like Tate. What worries me most is that a lot of them resent this and are turning to misogynists that lay all the blame on women instead of trying to help themselves. All these kids that go and spend money on those only sites and them complain they dont want a girl with "high body count". Well guess what, NOBODY wants a person that doesnt take care of themselves, plays video games all day. Sure its more complicated than that, and the actual economy also plays a big part. Hard to feel confident when you dont have a decent paying job, have no place to yourself at a later age or just no positive outlook for the future. But first of all...work on yourselves before blaming women.

"Distractions"? What a bunch of bull shit. The distractions are the result of the dudes not being able to get a partner, not the cause.
And yeah, the pick up artist grifters are disgusting, preying upon guys who are miserable and desperate and filling their heads w/ that shit.
If you think there's an outcome where a huge amount of young adults want sex and companionship and can't find it and DON'T get upset about it though, you're delusional. I think we should just legalize prostitution. *shrug*
