The inability to form a romantic or sexual [[relationship]] | The inability to form a romantic or sexual [[relationship]], i.e. [[inceldom]], is thought to lead to a wide range of adverse effects. Some of these effect are summarized on this page. | ||

Some suggested the lack of sexual activity poses an increased risk for catching STDs.{{citation needed}} The reason for this could be that due to the lack of contact to STD pathogens, incels will not develop an immunity against these pathogens. | Some suggested the lack of sexual activity poses an increased risk for catching STDs.{{citation needed}} The reason for this could be that due to the lack of contact to STD pathogens, incels will not develop an immunity against these pathogens. | ||

Incels are also often depressed, e.g. in an informal survey, 59.4% of [[incels.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. | Incels are also often depressed, e.g. in an informal survey, 59.4% of [[incels.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> | There exists evidence that depression permanently damages brain functions and lowers IQ.

Depression and stress may result in [[delayed ejaculation]], i.e. the difficulty or inability of a man to reach an orgasm and to ejaculate semen, and potentially [[impotence]].{{https://www.webmd.com/erectile-dysfunction/guide/ed-psychological-causes}} | Depression and stress may result in [[delayed ejaculation]], i.e. the difficulty or inability of a man to reach an orgasm and to ejaculate semen, and potentially [[impotence]].{{https://www.webmd.com/erectile-dysfunction/guide/ed-psychological-causes}} | ||
== Death grip syndrome == | |||
The death grip syndrome (DGS) refers to a loss of sensation in the penis from excessive 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.<ref>https://www.salon.com/2015/11/22/men_theres_an_obvious_easy_way_to_avoid_losing_penis_sensitivity_partner/</ref> Men with DGS are much more likely to break up due to their partners' resulting self-esteem issues. | |||
The loss of penile sensation in the DGS is similar to that cased by a high-cut circumcision. | |||
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. | |||
== Hulseyism == | |||
Some suggested [[hulseyism]] (prolonged erections) may be another possible side effect of prolonged sexlessness.{{citation needed}} | |||
