    I don’t talk about it much but I was a late bloomer and didn’t sleep with someone until I was 25 and I haven’t been (outside of a few dates) with anyone since and I’m well over 30. This was a good read. I often beat myself up that technically I’m an incel, even though I’m not interested in seeing anyone or wanting sex.

      even though I’m not interested in seeing anyone or wanting sex.

      Wouldn’t that be volcel, and thus not incel, if you aren’t interested?

      It’s perfectly fine to not want it, the asexual community calls out this societal standard as “compulsory sexuality”
