This is an underrated pill, the pretermpill (and lowbirthweightpill or LBWpill).
In the study Association of Preterm Birth and Low Birth Weight With Romantic Partnership, Sexual Intercourse, and Parenthood in Adulthood (2019), they found that people born prematurely or with low birth weight are less likely to ever find a relationship, have sex, or become parents. They're at increased risk of being virgins without relationship experience even in middle adulthood. They find that being timid, shy, socially withdrawn, controlling, and reluctant towards risk-taking increases the risk of involuntary celibacy or preemies/LWB people.
Preemies also struggle socially during childhood and the teenage years:
Risk of inceldom is highest for extreme premature babies (<28 weeks; <1000 g):
In another study, they found that preemies and LWB people in their 30s were earning less money, were lower-income, were 1.95 times as likely to be unmarried, and 11.3 times as likely to be virgins. Preemies also reported 8.4 times as much low self-esteem: "even when the impaired subjects were factored out, the premature group still had lower incomes, and statistically significant rates of low self-esteem, were more often virgins at the time of the study."
OTHER DEATH SENTENCES THEY FACE:
*Preemies are more likely to be unemployed, less likely to own their own home, more likely to work manual jobs, more likely to have financial difficulties, and more likely to be lower income. very LWB people also struggle with unemployment more often than normal birth weight/non-preemie people. Preemies are more likely to have low-paying jobs.
*Preemies struggle more in school and go to college less.
Although most preemies and LWB people do well with all these things, including sex/relationships, they're at increased risk of struggling.
@Alone75 were you a preterm birth or Low birth weight?

Using dating apps probably doesn't help younger PT/LBW people. Dating apps are focused on good looks and many men struggle on there, and adult virgins in their mid-20s are less likely to use dating apps.
