Many people dismiss inceldom as a petty first world problem that is nothing compared to "real" problems. They say "you aren't entitled to sex" just because many incels constantly complain about their loneliness and virginity. Those same people usually would not tell a homeless person "you are not entitled to a home" because that it is unnecessary and very insensitivity. While it may not be wrong, that doesn't change the fact that it is a health hazard and plummets your life quality, just like inceldom.
Loneliness is comparable/more deadly than obesity, and there are bureaucratic/industries based exclusively on loneliness

Lonely people deal with all this pain and misery but often try to conceal it out of fears of even more rejection.
Conclusion: Chronic loneliness, often felt by those with involuntary celibacy, causes massive amounts of stress, anxiety, and depression to its victims. Leading to a vicious cycle that makes a person's life progressively worse and worse. It causes many people to drop out of school, become alcoholics, do delinquent behavior, and in many cases, ultimately leads to suicide. It is a major problem if many people are killing themselves over it, this is common sense.

Sex, Lindau adds, “Is not like icing on the cake – most people wouldn’t willingly give it up.” Sex arguably makes life better, more enjoyable and healthier for lots of familiar reasons.1
This is the case for INVOLUNTARY celibates. People who are voluntarily celibate, such as monks, live life perfectly fine without sex. That is because they don't want sex. Think of consensual sex and rape, sex is enjoyable, unless it is forced and involuntary, then it is absolutely traumatizing. Telling a rape victim that they should be okay with it because people enjoy voluntary sex is very insensitive. But telling incels to be okay with their involuntary celibacy is very common and socially acceptable. Inconsistent logic by detractors of incels.Abstinence, however, can become unhealthy – psychologically – when you want to have sex but aren’t. “People will say, ‘I want to but I’m shy,’ or ‘I don’t know how to approach people.’ That’s really hard for people and can make them feel awful about themselves.”
And the anxiety of unfulfilled desire, coupled with the pressure to have sex – whether it’s societal or self-inflicted – can become a vicious cycle, Herbenick adds. Those types of behavioral trends can start early. Studies looking at when people began having sex found that those who started late – mid-20s to early 30s – were more likely to suffer from anxiety that may prevent them from having sex. “If you’re so anxious you can’t try online dating,” it is not abstinence that will pose a health issue, but the anxiety or depression it causes.
“If a person strongly desires but is unable to because they are unwell physically, or can’t find a partner, that is distressing,” Lindau says.1
Lots of people would agree that a sexual relationship is one of the best social connections you could possibly have. Besides that point, a true incel strongly lacks any kind of social connection.Loneliness and social isolation are harmful to our health: research shows that lacking social connections is as damaging to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day (Holt-Lunstad, 2015). Social networks and friendships not only have an impact on reducing the risk of mortality or developing certain diseases, but they also help individuals to recover when they do fall ill (Marmot, 2010).2
Loneliness and physical health
Loneliness and mental health
- Loneliness increases the likelihood of mortality by 26% (Holt-Lunstad, 2015)
- The effect of loneliness and isolation on mortality is comparable to the impact of well-known risk factors such as obesity, and has a similar influence as cigarette smoking (Holt-Lunstad, 2010)
- Loneliness is associated with an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease and stroke (Valtorta et al, 2016)
- Loneliness increases the risk of high blood pressure (Hawkley et al, 2010)
- Lonely individuals are also at higher risk of the onset of disability (Lund et al, 2010)
- Loneliness puts individuals at greater risk of cognitive decline (James et al, 2011)
- One study concludes lonely people have a 64% increased chance of developing clinical dementia (Holwerda et al, 2012)
- Lonely individuals are more prone to depression (Cacioppo et al, 2006) (Green et al, 1992)
- Loneliness and low social interaction are predictive of suicide in older age (O’Connell et al, 2004)2

.Isolation was associated with a 43% higher risk of first-time heart attack and a 39% higher risk of first-time stroke. Loneliness, meanwhile, was associated with a 49% higher risk of first-time heart attack and a 36% higher risk of first-time stroke.3
The pain of social rejection is very real and serious, as quoted by Psychology Today.
Rejection by others psychologically wounds us more deeply than almost anything else, and research by neuroscientists reveals that ostracism can lead to feeling actual physical pain.4
Chronic loneliness is something else entirely. It is one of the surest markers in existence for maladjustment.
In children, it leads to all kinds of problems. Failure to be socially connected to peers is the real reason behind most school dropouts. It sets in motion a course on which children spin their way to outcast status and develop delinquency and other forms of antisocial behavior.
In adults, loneliness is a major precipitant of depression and alcoholism.5
- Living alone increases the risk of suicide for young and old alike.
- Lonely individuals report higher levels of perceived stress even when exposed to the same stressors as non-lonely people, and even when they are relaxing.
- The social interaction lonely people do have are not as positive as those of other people, hence the relationships they have do not buffer them from stress as relationships normally do.
- Loneliness destroys the quality and efficiency of sleep, so that it is less restorative, both physically and psychologically. They wake up more at night and spend less time in bed actually sleeping than do the nonlonely.5
Lonely people deal with all this pain and misery but often try to conceal it out of fears of even more rejection.
“There’s a notion that lonely people are doing something wrong,” says author Emily White, who chronicled her own experience in Lonely: Learning to Live with Solitude. “Lack of social skills…lack of intelligence…less athletic. Notions we don’t bring to other similar psychological conditions like depression.”6
Loneliness is often equated with being a loser, “with holding up a big L over your head,” says Cacioppo. People tend to deny or conceal their loneliness, in which case it’s likely to get worse.6
Conclusion: Chronic loneliness, often felt by those with involuntary celibacy, causes massive amounts of stress, anxiety, and depression to its victims. Leading to a vicious cycle that makes a person's life progressively worse and worse. It causes many people to drop out of school, become alcoholics, do delinquent behavior, and in many cases, ultimately leads to suicide. It is a major problem if many people are killing themselves over it, this is common sense.
