The term involuntary celibate was also used in ''Virginia'' by Ellen Glasgow in 1913, ''[[The Great Unmarried]]'' by British Journalist Walter M. Gallichan in 1916, 'The Building'' by Peter Martin in 1960, in detail in ''[[Blueprint for a Higher Civilization]]'' by [[Henry Flynt]] in 1975, ''Law and Liberation'' by Robert E. Rhodes in 1986, ''Criminal Tendencies'' by William O'Rourke in 1987, ''Human Sexuality: the search for understanding'' by David Knox in 1984, and ''Understanding Sexuality'' by Adelaide Haas and Kurt Haas in 1990. ''While never directly using the verbatim terms, "involuntarily celibate" or "incel," famous French author [[Michel Houellebecq]] has written about the topic vicariously through his many fictional works about [[involuntarily celibate]] and layless men, such as in his novel ''[[Whatever (novel)|Whatever]]''. Famous English novelist and non-fiction writer George Orwell also briefly touched upon [[involuntarily celibate]] (without explicitly using the term) tramps in his book about the lives of the underclass, Down and Out in Paris and London, in 1933. It was also recorded in a Book of Lugandan (one of the main languages spoken in Uganda) proverbs that: "One who has married a bad woman ; is at least no ( involuntary ) bachelor any longer. Half a loaf is better than no bread", indicating that they had a well formed concept of involuntary celibacy.

Additionally, the similar term "forced celibacy" has been used in ways nearly equivalent to the modern usage of the term "involuntary celibacy", most notably in Maximilien Misson's 1714 travelogue ''A New Voyage to Italy. With Curious Observations on Several Other Countries'', where he talked of the relative freedoms English women had compared to Italian women at the time, who were described as being esconded away in their homes, to evade the depredations of "three quarters of the men living under the insupportable restraint of a forced celibacy, (who) would make a dreadful havoc of their neighbours property [...]"<ref>https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=gri.ark:/13960/t2w41jk88&view=1up&seq=47</ref>

Professor of psychology [[Brian Gilmartin]] published a book called ''[[Shyness and Love|Shyness & Love: Causes, Consequences, and Treatment]]'' in 1987, arguing for [[inceldom]] to be treated as a medical condition and for society to take it more seriously. At that time, Gilmartin's term for [[inceldom]] was, ''[[love-shy|love-shyness]]'' but before his death he used the terms, "incel" and "[[love-shy]]" interchangeably as can be seen in a recovered clip from the abandoned [[The Incel Project]] documentary.<ref>https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2u4fol</ref>

The founder of the particular strain of seduction techniques that we know today as modern [[MPUA|pick-up-artistry]] was [[Ross Jeffries]]. He published "How to Get the Women You Desire Into Bed" in 1992, which argued against [[nice guy]] behavior. The [[alt.seduction.fast]] Usenet newsgroup was founded by Lewis De Payne, a student of [[Ross Jeffries]] in 1994. In the same year, [[Michel Houellebecq]] published his first novel, "[[Whatever]]", which frankly discussed sexual stratification and pauperization.
