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. | 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."

A simple Darwinian argument could be made that people should feel shitty when they cannot gain access to reproductive opportunities. From a Darwinian perspective, this is the worst place to be in, as it does not allow to propagate one's genes. For this reason, one would expect negative emotions like depression to have evolved that disincentivize men from accepting their inceldom. The explanation is simple: Individuals with a mutation to embrace their inceldom were outreproduced by those who didn't, in fact they did not reproduce at all. | A simple Darwinian argument could be made that people should feel shitty when they cannot gain access to reproductive opportunities.
