== | == Sexlessness == | ||
A 2008 study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that delaying sexual activity may "create health risks by impeding development of the emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal skills that are crucial to satisfactory sexual functioning and general well-being."<ref>https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/78bmza/the-cost-of-losing-your-virginity-late</ref> By their definition, those who had their first sexual encounter at age 22 or older were considered "later starters." The knowledge that you are incompetent at something that comes as natural as breathing for most humans means that most on the [[inceldom spectrum]] tend to feel incompetent, and as a result, their self-esteem drops like a ton of bricks. The physical manifestation of an unfulfilled [[libido]] also creates anxiety. The lack of dopamine from sexual or romantic affection also eventually leads to general health problems. | A 2008 study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that delaying sexual activity may "create health risks by impeding development of the emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal skills that are crucial to satisfactory sexual functioning and general well-being."<ref>https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/78bmza/the-cost-of-losing-your-virginity-late</ref> By their definition, those who had their first sexual encounter at age 22 or older were considered "later starters."

Another study found mating performance was significantly related to happiness and life satisfaction.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Mating_performance_is_significantly_related_to_happiness_and_life_satisfaction</ref> | |||
One survey study suggested that penile–vaginal intercourse is associated with health, but masturbation and anal sex are not.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Penile.E2.80.93vaginal_intercourse_is_associated_with_health.2C_but_masturbation_is_not</ref> | |||
== | Men who lose their virginity in their 20s, in particular, are more likely to experience sexual problems that include [[erectile dysfunction|difficulty becoming sexually aroused]] and [[anorgasmia|reaching orgasm]] say researchers at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute's HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies, in a study in the January 2008 issue of the American Journal of Public Health.<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/Health/Sex/story?id=3932047&page=1</ref> | ||
== Loneliness == | |||
Incels are also often experience loneliness which may in part be caused by being ashamed of their lack of sexual success. | |||
Incels are also often depressed, e.g. in an informal survey, 49.3% of [[incel.co]] users reported to have no friends.<ref>https://incels.co/threads/survey-results-for-october-2019.147774/</ref> | |||
It is of course not clear whether inceldom causes loneliness or vice-verse, but both is plausible. | |||
Loneliness is associated with a large array of diseases, sometimes causally. Loneliness has an expected negative effect on health comparable to chain smoking or obesity.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Loneliness_increases_premature_death_rates_by_26.25_and_is_as_deadly_as_obesity</ref> Anticipated loneliness has been shown to reduce intelligent thought with large effect size.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1037//0022-3514.83.4.817</ref> | |||
Social exclusion max also decrease prosocial behavior.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-3514.92.1.56</ref> | |||
Warm partner contact reduces circulatory and heard stress, also with large effect size, which may explain earlier cardio-vascular failure in lonely people.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Warm_partner_contact_lowers_stress_levels</ref> | |||
== Depression == | |||
Incels are also often depressed, e.g. in an informal survey, 59.4% of [[incel.co]] users reported to be depressed.<ref>https://incels.co/threads/survey-results-for-october-2019.147774/</ref> Again, it is not known to which extent inceldom causes depression or vice-versa, but both is plausible. | |||
There exists evidence that depression permanently damages brain functions and lowers IQ. Recovery from depression largely restores cognitive performance, but some deficits remain, possibly especially in verbal performance.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1572949</ref><ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1440-1819.2006.01564.x</ref> Some of this may be caused by permanent shrinkage of the hippocampus, possibly caused by cell death due to stress.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jun/30/chronic-depression-shrinks-brains-memories-and-emotions</ref> | |||
==Masturbation-induced DGS (death grip syndrome)== | |||
The death grip syndrome refers to a loss of sensation in the penis deriving from excessively gripping the shaft or glans of the penis during masturbation. According to sexpert Dan Savage, when this friction stems from repeated or learned forms of masturbation it may result in an inability to orgasm. Per Savage, this especially occurs when engaging in aggressive forms of masturbation. This is commonly called DGS or the Death Grip Syndrome.<ref>https://www.salon.com/2015/11/22/men_theres_an_obvious_easy_way_to_avoid_losing_penis_sensitivity_partner/</ref> As such, men with DGS may be involuntarily childless. They are also much more likely to break up due to their female partners' (or male if you're gay) resulting self-esteem issues. | The death grip syndrome refers to a loss of sensation in the penis deriving from excessively gripping the shaft or glans of the penis during masturbation.

Similarly to how excessive gripping may result in penile sensation loss, a high-cut circumsion may have similar effect. During puberty, the immediate effects may be the exact opposite, whereby sensations are somewhat higher than normal. This can be seen for instance in men with the ability to enact a hands-free ogasm. But this wears off during the [[vicenarian]] years during which a man may emit cowpers and defile their clothes and may even damage the tendons or erectile tissue on their penis from prolonged erectile friction against their clothing. The physiology behind circumcision-induced DGS is pretty simple; an extremely tight skin around one's shaft works similar to having an extremely tight palm grip your shaft. Both clasp against the nerves along the shaft and both pull upon the ridge of the glans during erections, thereby placing an unnecessary amount of strain upon the extended insular penile shaft within the perineum. Besides GDS, other insensitive-related by-products may also surface, such as erectile dysfunction. | Similarly to how excessive gripping may result in penile sensation loss, a high-cut circumsion may have similar effect.

Whereas a [[normie]] might insist on the usage of a condom, truecels can be so desperate for sex that when the chance arises at obtain sex, they immediately take it without hesitation, Such a lack of hesitation stems from a fear that this opportunity will never arise again. If someone regularly gets flirted with, then flirtation is not a big deal. Since truecels never have anyone flirting with them, if that once in a lifetime opportunity does finally present itself, these trucels take it with both hands, possibly STDs be damned. | ||
