    Hmmm.

    I guess I’m not lonely. I’m single. Sure it stirs up feelings of loneliness.

    Plus there are a lot of married men that share the same misogynistic views as incels on women.

          No, I actually agree. Hear me out: think conservative Christians who married the first person they dated, because sex outside marriage = bad. Then stay together because divorce = bad. So both wish they could have had other experiences and may well be something akin to “incels,” if not outright. I know many, many, many people like this.

            That is definitely part of it. Some of it is also people who got married and had kids and found themselves in sexless marriages after some time, but the idea of going through divorce and splitting up belongings and assets and fucking up their kids seemed worse than just continuing their relationship with their hand. Especially as people get older, sex drive drops off for some.
