According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, sex is an essential human need for happiness and fulfillment. Yet 33% of modern males are virgins or report not having sex, and that number seems to keep growing. What implications does this have for society?

I think you are already seeing it. High rates of depression, suicide, drug abuse, unemployment, economies fracturing and only staying alive through money printing that is causing crazy inflation. Eventually shortages will lead to uncomfortableness and social breakdown. You will see increase in murder and more gangs being formed.

honestly i can't imagine forming gangs consisting of people like me

Yep, this user gets it. Wikipedia has a page called "diseases of despair" and you have to laugh at it, it goes on and on about the economic costs and lost productivity, oh noo!!! My little hamsters running on the wheel generating wealth for us are killing themselves, my lost wealth!!!!!!!!
>The factors that seem to exacerbate diseases of despair are not fully known, but they are generally recognized as including a worsening of economic inequality
Just lol...

Virgins or report not having sex.

Actually about 31%.
>During that time, the researchers found that sexual inactivity had increased from 19 percent to 31 percent among men age 18 to 24. Men and women age 25 to 34 also reported an increase in sexual inactivity during the time period.

How surprising women don't want to socialize the one resource where they have an advantage. Remind me again why anyone ever thought it was a good idea to give them rights and equality?

Is there any reason I should not kill myself right now?

Any prospects on the horizon?

Prospects of what? More weed and porn I guess.

nobody is happy or fulfilled nowadays, yet somehow society keeps going

Reason for Rome's fall
>Falling birth rates
>Over-reliance on slave labor due to production falling during the 2nd century. Slave revolts took military resources.
>Unable to recruit enough troops from citizenry, so relied on mercenaries
>Government ran out of money so civil infrastructure dilapidated. Over-taxation and inflation.
What caused all these? Increasing frequency of divorce and growing freedom and laxity in women's morals
>Decrease in traditional for-life marriage where the man had the legal power to do what he wanted. Divorces were rare.
>"Free marriages" became the norm, where the wife no longer came into her husband's power or property regime but remained in that of her father. Moral infractions were no longer needed to justify divorce.
>Many women inherited part of their fathers' estates, they could use their independent fortunes to exert influence on husbands, children, and people outside the house.

Probably gaymers. Opinion discarded. Maslow meme doesnt apply if you are socially inactive.
Adam Bell
chicken or the egg? people become socially inactive because there's no opportunities

Rome was "falling" literally for 300 years, you are not gonna see anything change in your lifetime.

Maslow's study was done on a bunch of mostly male college students. It's not something applied outside of academics due to the shit methodology of his theory.

technology like phones and social media has created radical quick changes

Exactly. The power could hide the damage and kick the can. You can't do that any more. The first sight of weakness is picked up on and people flee. Look at the early bank runs. People used to be so aware even back then of the slightest economic disturbance. Farmer Joe goes bankrupt and everyone made a run on a bank.
