A study by Poortman and Liebroer found that ''only roughly 4% of singles'' preferred their singlehood over being in a relationship.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssresearch.2010.03.012</ref> Accounting for that, the percentage of incels among millennials is likely roughly between 15% and 30%. This reasoning, of course, has various limitations. For one, singles who reported to prefer their singlehood could be having casual sex otherwise. Conversely, individuals may be happy in a relationship, but get no sex, adding to sexless men despite being possibly in a happy, e.g. long-distance relationship, which may count as [[volcel]] or [[temporarycel]], or men may be religiously motivated to postpone sex or too busy with their careers.

Provided that [[Scientific_Blackpill#Sex_is_the_most_pleasurable.2C_joyous.2C_and_meaningful_human_experience|sex is regarded as the most satisfying and joyous experience]], it does seem plausible that few would voluntarily forgo sex and that such men would prefer sex if they had the chance, which would count as involuntary celibacy. | ||
