Do you think there would be increased sexual violence if more and more young men go without sex and romance?

pauiel31 · 2026-03-10T23:08:13+00:00

Not necessarily...a few people might go primitive and take what they want, but more than likely you would see an increase in harmful or nonproductive copes like drugs.

Honestly a smart man would see that the system is enabling the women's behavior, and blaming the women ignores the history of why successful societies were... "different"

Kinexity · 2026-03-10T23:09:32+00:00

If the answer to this question were to be "yes" it would have been already visible. The thing is that most misogynist men capable of such acts are not even sexless.

lazlo119 · 2026-03-11T00:56:36+00:00

I’ve been single for 17 years and I would never do anything like that or did anything like that even when I was wasted.

Pretend-Storm4566 · 2026-03-11T01:21:57+00:00

I think there would be a huge DECREASE in sexual violence if we put women in jail for committing it.

TheGrandmastersFav · 2026-03-10T22:52:56+00:00

"Overall Decline in Reported Violent Crime: The rate of violent victimization in the U.S. has declined significantly over the past three decades, dropping from 79.8 per 1,000 people in 1993 to 23.5 per 1,000 in 2022. However, 2022 marked a notable increase in reported violent victimization (9.7 per 1,000) compared to 2021 (7.5 per 1,000), signaling a potential shift in reporting or trends."

General trend has been downward though it can vary year by year. I think young men going without sex leads to them pursuing other things in general

Paulina1104 · 2026-03-11T02:49:38+00:00

No. If there is increased sexual violence, it will probably be perpetrated by a female.

javerthugo · 2026-03-11T02:32:55+00:00

No. We are not animals who just act out when we don’t get what we won’t. The very few people who would are already violent pigs. the worst we’ll see is an increase in porn use and mental health problems.

That’s of course it’s own set of problems

Future-Stretch-401 · 2026-03-11T03:22:29+00:00

No. Sexual violence in men is driven by character and attitude not by how much sex they have. In fact men convicted of sexual violence are more sexually active, have more partners, more one night stands etc.

_redditguy_04 · 2026-03-11T02:50:27+00:00

No, most men who commit sexual assault probably get sex without force. The reason most rapists do it is because they like the control, it's not because they're not getting sex, they just want control. So no, it would not increase by anymore than a micro amount.

InsaneBasti · 2026-03-11T01:56:38+00:00

No. Most of us have basic manners.

Emmy-Ebel7851 · 2026-03-11T03:12:53+00:00

Pornography exists for a reason. It’s free and it’s legal, regardless of its dangers. Therefore, if an orgasm is all that certain men are looking for…why risk their liberty, and sometimes even their lives, when they can access one easily?

Yet, of course, there will always be a slender minority who decide to take the wrong path. However, even in the hypothetical case that pornography is prohibited or shut down entirely…more than an increase in sexual violence, I’d say there would be an increase in suicide rates.

xEyelessOnex · 2026-03-11T04:02:00+00:00

I can't speak for anyone else, but when I was single and celibate, that never crossed my mind. In that instance, I was the one not wanting intimacy because I was happier alone and working on myself.

hairyturks · 2026-03-11T17:30:01+00:00

A study showed that "incels" were less violent and sexually violent than men that could regularly "get it". So no.

PracticalSock5373 · 2026-03-11T06:02:48+00:00

Rape is abnormal behavior. Lack of access to sex isn't what typically causes it. I think if someone is a rapist, they commit it regardless of the availability of willing partners.

But the question assumes a scenario which has been proven invalid since 2014 although that has remained the best kept secret in our society.

The statistics showing almost all rapists to be men and almost all victims to be women is the result of severely gender-biased DEFINITIONS of rape defining it as "penetration". Since men have sexual organs which protrude outward and women have ones which extend inward, inward protruding sex organs can be penetrated while outward protruding organs can't. Women are typically forced against their will to be "penetrated" while when men are raped they are "forced TO penetrate". So the vast majority of male rapes do not meet the normally applied anti-male DEFINITION of rape and are therefore discounted and denied to be rape by gatherers of rape statistics. Male victims are in this way excluded from data/statistics gathered on the subject of rape. Only if a man is penetrated (anally for example) can a male rape even be measured within rape statistics (even though that's not typically how most men are raped). These rarer types of male rapes currently make up the tiny amount of male rapes which ARE ever counted in any statistics.

But when the "forced TO penetrate" against their will definition is included, the statistics instantly reveal something utterly shocking. The data reveals that the same percentage of men are raped as women every year, to within a few tenths of a percent! Men are raped at the same rate as women, but the way men are raped "doesn't count" as far as statistically gathered data is concerned. This has created the false scenario that virtually ONLY women are victimized by rape. In reality, an equal number of men are also simultaneously victimized! They're rapes are simply dismissed and excised from the dats as invalid! INVALID!

These men suffer PTSD, fear, guilt, depression, trauma, suicidal thoughts, alcohol/drug dependence, sexual dysfunction, etc., the identical symptoms experienced by female rape victims. These men are plagued by identical psychological damage as female rape victims! But the horrific crime they experienced is simply dismissed, tossed out like so much garbage, excluded from the gathered data. Imagine being raped and told what happened to you isn't valid, doesn't count, that YOU weren't raped because the definition excludes YOUR anatomy from counting because it protrudes outward instead of inward!

Nothing more than including "forced TO penetrate" to the rape DEFINITION (at last acknowledging the way it is usually done to men) revealed instantly the staggering fact that men are raped with equal frequency as women! It revealed that the actual number of rapes is nearly twice as high as popular statistics report, and half of this now larger number of victims are MEN!

And the even greater surprise revealed was that these men whose rapes were finally counted for the first time, admitted that two-thirds of them were raped by women! TWO-THIRDS BY WOMEN!

Unexpectedly revealed was an entire group of rapists preying in men in large enough amounts to comprise nearly one third of ALL rapists. Rapists whose very existence has been previously unknown and unsuspected! A large population of rapists who are comprised of women!

This isn't some fly by night theory hawked by some crackpot! The FBI investigated & found the data to be so overwhelmingly irrefutable that they admitted to the new reality it showed them and now include "forced TO penetrate" in the definition driving their own investigations. That doesn't mean prosecutors charge anyone, but the FBI does it's due diligence investigating.

Every news outlet in any medium is so terrified of the social and political backlash they'd receive reporting it that in all this time since being revealed back in 2014, not ONE WORD of it has ever been passed on to the public. It's been practically as tightly held a secret as the contents of the Epstein files! NOBODY is aware of it even after all these years!

So, the rapes of millions of men remain completely unknown, and an entire group of rapists are unwittingly protected, and even their very existence remains a secret, as a result of the now 12 year old, unbroken wall of silence. And the same media who refuses to tell this truth, continues to promulgate the fallacy that virtually ONLY women are ever the victims of rape (when in reality just as many men are victims) and virtually ONLY men commit rape (even though in reality a third of all rapists, and two-thirds of the ones raping men, are women).

The promotion of this fallacy is a powerful driver of resentment and fear among women towards men, it promotes misandry, destroys empathy for men, hurts male victims, allows large numbers of female sex criminals to escape the repercussions of their dispicable crimes, allows their very existence to remain completely unsuspected, all because of the use of the DEFINITION of rape applied being inexcusably gender-biased to exclude male victims merely because of their outward protruding anatomy! And a whole segment of female sex offenders continue to be be protected by that unbreakable wall of silence!

The silence is deafening. I'm sure it's the first time you have ever heard about any of this. Nobody has heard about it! And I know it's incredibly hard to believe. But you can research it the way I did after being told about it from a client of mine who was then working in the FBI. I thought it simply COULDN'T really be true. Just COULD'T POSSIBLY be! But when I researched it online, it proved to be 100% real!

Don't take my word for it. The data is there. You should be able to access Lara Stemple's paper online. And the data she reports was indisputable enough to convince the FBI, not just me.

It will change your understanding of rape and rapists forever. And your understanding about WHO commits it, too. Contrary to the lie still being promoted everywhere (enabled by the sexist, gender-biased, male exclusionary definition of rape), this data reveals that men aren't the ONLY sexual predators, and that women aren't the ONLY victims.

Huitzil37 · 2026-03-11T03:26:41+00:00

All the arguments about "no because I'm not an animal I can control myself" are stupid. Obviously you aren't. And obviously some small percentage is. Will that small percentage become slightly larger?

I don't think so, but the reason isn't "men can control themselves." Because the population of men who can't control themselves can't control themselves. Like almost all crime it's caused by low intelligence and terrible impulse control. Consensual sex doesn't replace assault becaise assault is not a rational response to a scarce resource, it's terrible impulsive behavior.

BitesTheDust55 · 2026-03-11T11:30:00+00:00

Probably not. Testosterone rates are falling and we're getting to the beautiful ones stage of humanity's universe 25 equivalent. Years ago I would've said yes, definitely a powder keg. Now I don't think so.

Medium-Knowledge4230 · 2026-03-11T15:30:48+00:00

I will answer that with a big "maybe", you have to ask why this reduction is happening. For example: if young people don't have time for relationships anymore or don't want it, the violence will not increase.
Now, let's assume that young men will suffer from a lot of dire circumstances that only get worse... Imagine some crisis that puts the majority of men into misery, but will not affect women in the same intensity and they fell apart in life.
Young men are going to war, a majority of them will die. The ones that return will be sick, wounded, with PTSD and without money. When you have a lot of young men without any hope for the future, with a lot of issues and full of anger... Crime becomes a certainty. If anyone thinks "I have nothing to lose" they simply stop caring about anything. That's why in times of war, sexual violence becomes very common.

WilliamRobutt · 2026-03-11T16:46:28+00:00

Sort of, but not in the way you think. When culture attacks men, only good men leave. The kind of men who assault women have never cared. So if 1 in 100 men who try to have relationships with women will commit SA and then you scare off 50 men you have changed the rate to 1 in 50 because people who commit such crimes have neither shame nor the capacity to consider the consequences of their actions.

Also, as the pool of men decreases, the women do not stop having relationships. They just share men. So what happens is it those same guys SA 10 in 100 women. Now women all know someone who has been SA'd or had it done to them. Consequently the perception of more offenders is created, but in reality the women have just all started dating more and more risky men while simultaneously blaming all of the men who might have protected them.

Obviously these numbers are made up for illustration purposes.

Wylanderuk · 2026-03-11T21:31:57+00:00

Most likely not, well not by men. Increase by women? I think is more likely, but not of out and out violence but a increase in say women who have power over over teens? more likely.

My_Legz · 2026-03-11T00:04:28+00:00

Over time it is likely but we will likely see political movements before that. Only if those fail completely will we see that kind of breakdown. That political movement can take many forms, it can be ideological, it can be religious, or it can be something else but it is likely to happen

Specialist_Load_9953 · 2026-03-11T02:12:26+00:00

I think anyone being put on the spot and posed this hypothetical and having to quickly respond would instinctively say yes.

But when you’re allowed a moment to step back, take a wider view and consider currently available empirical evidence it’s not that straightforward.

So when considering currently there is no evidence to suggest an increase is happening at this moment in time, the incel community have continually proven themselves to be nothing more than performative gobshites, that whilst are talking a big game about the most heinous of imaginable things, it’s just all talk because there’s no evidence of them actually doing any of it. There’s also the matter smexbots imminently and AI already being used as an alternative. There’s also the matter of men and women both are now more than ever aware and educated on what isn’t acceptable, that whilst far from perfect potential perpetrators are also aware that law enforcement are has more tools available to catch you and also the internet follows you when guilty, where in years past you could move away after a conviction and start afresh or could more easily avoid the shame of guilt: so in essence the increased consequences would have some potential perps reconsider.

Then of course there’s the very significant fact that the majority of the most violent sexual crimes aren’t in fact perpetrated for smexual fulfilment they’re acts of violence.

With all that considered, I don’t think anyone suggesting there’ll be no or a very small spike in the most serious crimes and maybe some small increase to any other crimes; wouldn’t be a wild unbelievable claim for someone to make.

Express-Economist-86 · 2026-03-11T09:21:08+00:00

Yes. Because Redditors are saying they won’t and they’re typically wrong about everything, (especially human behavior) further they don’t go outside enough to commit such acts so their point is moot.

Partial to bringing back monasteries as a respected career field. men in general need meaning or some kind of quest, many find it in their families.

Entertainment is a nice pacifier, but I am concerned if it will be enough.

For our world to make it through the next bit of change we’re going to need a serious level of commitment to a positive future. Men will have a tough time obtaining that without families or some deeper drive outside their selves.

AbysmalDescent · 2026-03-11T14:10:44+00:00

Yes, for multiple reasons. One, there's the physical aspect. The more people go without their needs being met, the more desperate they become to have those needs met. This desperation can manifest in more force being used or it can manifest in men being more gullible and vulnerable to exploitation(which will also have negative effects on their mental health).

The mental aspect, however, is the more relevant one, I think. Because the depravation can have a lot of long term negative effects on mental health, which in term could also turn into other substance abuse or unhealthy coping mechanism, which also have negative long and short term effect on mental health as well. This can also result in those men becoming more vulnerable to exploitation but deteriorate some of the barriers they might have between fiction/reality or right/wrong.

The feeling of being unchosen, of feeling like life is hopeless or that success might not be possible can also have some pretty devastating effects on mental health, and result in other breakdowns or meltdowns. It can also lead to self harm or spark an intent to harm others. None of which is good.

McIntosh812 · 2026-03-10T22:34:55+00:00

Yes. If something is perceived as valuable, it is more likely to be stolen

radioraven1408 · 2026-03-11T03:28:59+00:00

It’s the ‘chads’ that are doing the assaulting.

World-Three · 2026-03-11T06:56:29+00:00

Possibly... But any situation could be explained if you waste enough time doing it.

Being poor and existing in a space where people watch and relish in the fact that you're poor is the problem. Not to mention when it becomes the dominant factor to your personal worth.

If the only thing people around you value is objects, and you want to be valued but cannot produce whatever grants you those objects... Theft is considered.

Most people don't steal because they value what they have, who they are and who they're associated with. Too proud, in a way. But most boys who aren't privileged enough to come in intimate contact with a woman, have that value stripped constantly. Yeah you have hobbies but do you get bitches? You're smart, but nobody wants to touch you, or you're a gentleman, but no one would ever sleep with you.

This tells boys that it doesn't matter how hard you work if you never get paid... Seeing every personal moral or even performative value they have be reduced to nothing while sex remains the goal is typically a behavior associated with cheaters. Cheaters obviously want to win. And because either lack of skill, opportunity, or or being constantly outmatched, they can't win. Instead of seeing and valuing how much those people want to win and encouraging them to keep trying, only the success is valued and how isn't. Success is the payoff, but everything else is free labor.

Boys, even men, have very little to call theirs. Broken families through divorce, housing crisis, dating crisis, recession, inflation, etc. Morals are essentially on their way out the door. Now jam the focus on success and not the journey to it, and now if that man doesn't own anything, he isn't worth anything.

Why is he even alive? Everything that man does is "unpaid labor" if sex is the only payoff people teach him to care about. If all the worth of man is reduced to thankless jobs and a potential extension to his Orthodox challenge to prove himself worthy enough to practice the most basic instinct, why not cheat? We all know why, but if men become completely depraved because society has admitted that his ultimate value is in how many women he can overcome, in that acute lens, that appears as success.

I think the more important question is how to make sure we don't get there.

FrequentPotato6116 · 2026-03-11T01:36:57+00:00

I really think that lack of sex or romance would increase more sexual violence because there’s a majority of men out there who don’t do those things despite what society says. However what I think would increase violence in general is if women keep talking crap about men the way they do nowadays. I’m seeing it now where I live. Men and especially young men are becoming more and more conservative, and some are tending toward extremism. They believe women should just shut up and obey. So I think it is very urgent that women stop acting the way they do because I said that 3 years ago, that men will be criticized so much they won’t want to hear a damn thing from women anymore. And let’s be honest what criticism haven’t we heard from women. Even I am not phase anymore because I know they keep repeating the same thing and none of them seem to be toxic (their thoughts tho). I do my best not to let them get in my mind and hate them but my little brother is starting to build resentment and if it wasn’t me talking to him out of hating women he’d be extreme as well.
