'''Volceldom''' is the state of being '''volcel''', which is short for voluntarily celibate. It is the opposite and antonym of the word incel. Being volcel means you choose via volition to live a romanceless, dateless and sexless lifestyle. Men are pretty much never volcels unless they are [[libido|low-T]], extremely religious, made some strange ascetic vow, or prefer masturbation to sex with others. Male self-proclaimed Volcels are often suspected of being sex pests or pedophiles due to prominent child abuse scandals in the Catholic Church and other religious organizations. | '''Volceldom''' is the state of being '''volcel''', which is short for voluntarily celibate.

The term is also frequently employed in a derogatory fashion in the incelosphere, to imply that a particular incel isn't putting in enough effort to escape from his self-proclaimed status as "incel", or to claim that only those with very low or non-existent standards should be able to truly consider themselves incel. | ||
