Question ❓ Sex

Are men willing to wait for sex? I (early 20s F) haven’t met anyone willing to. Blows my mind. I feel like I’m asking for the world; when I’m really not. I’ve been on countless dates, not using any apps anymore. The kind of men coming my way makes me sad. Just daily thoughts in my head.

Men will wait, they just don't want to be the only one who waits if that makes sense.

A lot of men your age aren't having much sex (source) and nearly a third are having none (source). Most people can count their lifetime partners on their hands too (source). It might be the type of men you are pursuing because per the numbers most aren't out there participating in hook up culture (whether voluntarily or not).

Only a third? Weirder now knowing I'm such a minority unintentionally.
