"Sex is concentrated within a small, yet sexually active, group of people. In one study, it was reported that the 5% of the population with the highest number of vaginal sex acts (penile-vaginal-intercourse) accounted for more vaginal sex acts than the bottom 50% of the population with the lowest number of vaginal sex acts.
Using the Gini index, it is found that the distribution of the number of sex partners both for men and women throughout their lifespan is as unequal as the distribution of wealth among the most unequal countries in the world (South Africa Gini 0.63 in 2014 and Namibia Gini 0.59 in 2015). The number of female sex partners is more unequally distributed among single men (Gini 0.60) than the number of male sex partners is among single women (Gini 0.58) although both male and female sex partners are highly concentrated among people.5
While sex is not like money or wealth in every aspect, the lack of access to sexual experiences can be seen as a concern for distributive justice and a problem for public health since an active sex life is beneficial for people's health and well-being.
There are numerous studies that show the link between active sex life and our mental and physical health. On the other hand, people experience negative emotional effects when being without access to sexual and romantic partners. Sexual loneliness decreases self-esteem and positive mood in both men and women. Especially for men, sexual loneliness might cause anger and aggression, which can manifest violently.
Lack of sex and relationship is related to many societal problems, and loneliness and lack of intimacy predispose men to violent behaviour. Misogyny is prevalent in places."
TL;DR: A small number of men are studs and a slightly less small number of toilets are sluts, the vast majority of sex is being done by these, but it's more widely distributed among toilets. Among men it's so unequally distributed that only a minority of men have virtually all vaginal penetrating penile sex.
