The opposite of involuntary celibacy is involuntary participation in sex. Yes, the decline of chattel marriage and the rise of female financial independence has led to some men going without sex.
So save me your “pity the poor incel” thinkpieces. Those men feel entitled to the use of another person’s vagina. That’s not ok.

No one would support a movement to entitle one group to use of another group’s kidney or lungs. So don’t say we should be figuring out how to give men access to vaginas without first getting the enthusiastic consent of the owner of the vagina.

Mutual enthusiastic consent is the threshold for all sexual activity. Period.

The notion of redistributing access to sex is basically a wonky want of saying “we need to start giving men chattel wives again!”. No. We do not.

We are all entitled to sexual drives. We are entitled to a sense of disappointment if we can’t sleep with our crush. But that’s where the entitlement ends. End rant.
