Reasons behind sexual abstinence in certain individuals
In a pioneering study, researchers have discovered a series of fascinating correlations between sexlessness and various aspects of life among mature adults. The study, which centered on individuals who have never engaged in sexual activity, offers valuable insights into the lives of this unique demographic.
One of the most striking findings of the study is the genetic negative correlation between sexlessness and substance abuse. People who had never had sex were found to use drugs and alcohol less frequently compared to their sexually active counterparts.
The study also revealed a genetic negative correlation between sexlessness and depression. Sexless individuals were more likely to report feelings of loneliness, nervousness, and less happiness. Interestingly, they were also less likely to have someone to confide in or to believe that life is meaningful.
Another significant finding was the genetic correlation between sexlessness and measured intelligence. Sexless individuals were more educated, suggesting a potential link between intellectual capacity and sexual activity.
The study also uncovered a genetic correlation between sexlessness and higher income and socioeconomic status. Sexless individuals were more likely to live in regions with higher income inequality, further emphasizing the connection between wealth and sexual activity.
In terms of health, the study found a genetic negative correlation between sexlessness and drug and alcohol disorders. It also found a genetic correlation between sexlessness and autism spectrum disorder and anorexia.
The study also revealed a genetic correlation between sexlessness and introversion. Interestingly, sexless individuals tended to start wearing glasses from a younger age.
The study examined differences between mature adults who had never had sex and those who had. It found that sexless individuals had fewer visits from friends and family, suggesting a potential social isolation among this group.
The study was conducted by a team of researchers, with Hen Kenward, a psychology researcher at Uppsala University and Oxford Brookes University, being mentioned as the lead author of a related study on gender-neutral education and children's social behavior. However, the specific researchers for the sexlessness study were not explicitly named in the provided search results.
The study found a genetic correlation between sexlessness and education, with sexless individuals being more educated. It also found a genetic negative correlation between sexlessness and anxiety.
The study's findings provide a captivating look into the lives of sexless individuals and the potential factors that contribute to their lifestyle choices. While more research is needed to fully understand these correlations, the study offers valuable insights into this often overlooked demographic.
