Contrary to perceptions in the media and for the purposes of this wiki, incel is ''not'' a political movement or [[incel community|community]], but a gender-neutral life circumstance.

Inceldom overlaps but is distinct from '[[sexual frustration]]', in that an involuntary celibate may accept their ''in''celibacy and not feel bad about it. | |||
No mass murderers have been users of incel forums. Neither [[4chan]] nor [[PUAhate]] have self-identified as incel forums, even though incels may frequent them. Current major incel internet forums are: [[incels.co]], [[Facebook's Incelistan]], [[Incelistan.net]], [[Love-shy dot com|love-shy.com]], [[Incelswithouthate]], and [[Foreveralone]].

The state does not want people to reproduce who are unfit for raising children, yet it is amazingly ineffective at doing so, e.g. the most anti-social males have a disproportional amount of children. | The state does not want people to reproduce who are unfit for raising children, yet it is amazingly ineffective at doing so, e.g. the most anti-social males have a disproportional amount of children. | ||
At the same time peaceful and motivated men have no chance, likely because women's standards have been spoiled by feminism and dating apps, and because men are not raised to assert dominance. | At the same time peaceful and motivated men have no chance, likely because women's standards have been spoiled by feminism and dating apps, and because men are not raised to assert dominance. | ||
Male incels are often met by disgust of women. Men have a lot less sexual disgust,<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037/emo0000389</ref> so this likely occurs more rarely for female incels. | |||
Life as an incel is particularly awkward whenever the topic of sex or relationships comes up. There is an overwhelming social expectation to be in a sexual relationship that is likely biological. Spending time with other males tends to be awkward because the lack of sexual activity otherwise may suggest that one is homosexual ([[homohysteria]]). People generally agree that one's sexual life is essential for feeling good about oneself and for one's social status and acceptance. Especially women find men who do not have sex less appealing. | Life as an incel is particularly awkward whenever the topic of sex or relationships comes up.

Frequenting [[prostitutes]] or being a sugar daddy/mommy does not count as a sexual, romantic, or even social relationship, but rather a financial relationship, as the relationship remains without sex/romance/sociability, but not without money. | Frequenting [[prostitutes]] or being a sugar daddy/mommy does not count as a sexual, romantic, or even social relationship, but rather a financial relationship, as the relationship remains without sex/romance/sociability, but not without money. | ||
What makes things worse, most incels cannot afford it regularly and it is associated with various risks due to illegality and sexually transmittable diseases. | |||
Also, many [[escortcel]]s frequently characterize prostitution as not a full sexual experience as it usually lacks sexual validation. It is not accompanied by the status elevating experience of being selected by someone for who ones is. | |||
Legalization of prostitution can mitigate the [[side effects of inceldom]], but it does not constitute a sexual relationship. Plus in most parts of the United States, prostitution is illegal. Most people with incel problems do not want to break the law. However, more incels would see prostitutes if they were legal. | |||
