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.
