Podcast episode "Why 1% Never Have Sex" hosted by Dr. Anne Truong (intimate health MD). The episode reviews a study (reported in Psychology Today) analyzing genetic data from roughly 400,000–500,000 people in the UK and Australia that found about 1% of adults reported never having had a sexual experience. The host explains reported correlates: higher education/intelligence genes, introversion/risk aversion, weaker grip strength, early use of glasses, abstention from alcohol/tobacco/cannabis, and certain neurodevelopmental traits (ADHD, autism spectrum, PTSD) — while depression and anxiety were not linked. Environmental factors (areas with fewer women, greater income inequality) and personal choice are also discussed. The episode mixes clinical interpretation with practical advice (diet, supplements/smoothie) and promotions for paid programs to improve sexual function and confidence.
