Life without sex: Large-scale study links sexlessness to physical, cognitive, and personality traits, socioecological factors, and DNA

2024-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Romantic (typically sexual) relationships are important to personal, physical, mental, social, and economic wellbeing, and to human evolution. Yet little is known about factors contributing to long-term lack of intimate relationships. We investigated phenotypic and genetic correlates of never having had sex in ∼400,000 UK residents aged 39 to 73 and ∼13,500 Australian residents aged 18 to 89. The strongest associa...
