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."

The main physical effect of inceldom is [[oxytocinlessness]]. One of the downsides of inceldom is an unfulfilled libido, i.e. sexual frustration. The effects of sexual frustration should not be downplayed since they are many and can be grim. For instance, having a howling libido without an outlet can affect areas of your life outside of romance. For example, imagine preparing for an exam, or actually sitting an exam, yet your sexual urges seem to have raised its head at that exact moment, it may interfere with your academic success. Even if one is on vacation and thus doesn't have any studies or work-related obligations, a raging unfulfilled libido can still have negative consequences. For example women may grool on their own clothing and get blue vulva. Men 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 main physical effect of inceldom is [[oxytocinlessness]].

You become a [[genetic dead end]]. Despite the fact that some people rejoice at the prospects of being childless, claiming that it has afforded them freedoms and allowed them to focus on their careers etc. there are also setbacks to being childless. Having offspring can give a person meaning to life, it can be rewarding to raise another human, and children often bring one joy. What compounds the GDE if it results from inceldom, is that unlike GDE resulting from choice, a person on the [[inceldom spectrum]] is childless notwithstanding their own will. | |||
