Being depressed over not having sex does not a monster make

Your post reminded me of something that's been on my mind lately. The word "incel".

People really need to stop using incel as an insult because it's becoming a word used to describe all virgins and people who aren't having much sex, even if they aren't virgins.

The word alienates people like yourself and actually creates more incels because it's difficult for people to not be bitter and hate filled towards those who belittle and look down on them for simply not getting laid.

Not every celibate person or virgin is an incel, but many people seem to not be able to understand this.

Your sex life is nobodies business, and there is no standards for how much sex is enough sex. It's fucked up for anyone to judge you for that.

Having more sex won't make you a happier person either, especially with multiple different people. It's just pleasure, and escaping sorrow by chasing pleasure is a recipe for more depression. You become dependent on it for happiness, like a drug.

Culture placing such importance on sex and belittling people for not getting laid enough is exactly what creates incels in the first place. It makes young people insecure and hate themselves, and therefore they begin to hate everyone else.

It's not hard to understand that treating people better creates happier people. You don't get good people when you call them losers for not fucking enough.

If you make fun of a person for not having a certain amount of sex, you're an emotionally immature, shallow and narcissistic asshole.
