An ''' | An '''emcel''', or '''emotional celibate''' is a person who is unable to pair-bond with a partner. Someone who is unable to love or be loved. The term can apply to both men and women, but it is usually used to refer to a woman due to the ease with which women can become emcels. | ||
The cause of this phenomena is a mix of many different factors. One factor being hormonal birth control which has been shown to deplete or actively suppress oxytocin,'the love chemical' (see below) among other issues it may create. It is unknown whether this particular effect on oxytocin is permanent or temporary. Another factor is the development of 'hyper-casual sex culture' which aided by speed dating apps like Tinder, takes sex from being an act of loving commitment to a bodily function on the level of defecation. It is thought that this consistent attaching and re-attaching between strangers over time wears out a person's ability to bond emotionally through sex, leaving them unable to experience love later on. | The cause of this phenomena is a mix of many different factors.
