"1/3 of men under 30 haven’t had sex in the last year. People don’t realize why that’s actually one of the biggest issues we face today. It means the foundation of our society is deteriorating"
About this Quote
The subtext is less about orgasms than about social cohesion and male status. Sex functions here as a proxy variable for belonging: if young men aren’t coupling, the story goes, they’re disengaged from work, community, family formation, and the tacit bargain that keeps societies stable. It’s also a coded anxiety about surplus men - loneliness curdling into resentment - which has become a recurring fear in discourse about radicalization and political volatility. Hormozi compresses all of that into one headline-ready sentence.
Context matters, because the claim trades on a real debate (declining social participation, delayed adulthood, dating-app dynamics, economic precarity) while skipping the messy parts: voluntary celibacy, shifting norms, mental health, and the fact that “sex in the last year” is a crude instrument. The rhetorical move is classic entrepreneur-speak: find a lagging indicator, call it existential, and imply that fixing it is a matter of optimizing inputs. The danger is that it invites simplistic solutions and, worse, treats women as infrastructure rather than agents.
