So is data scrubbing.

Yes but not so much as a backup but for actual usage. Then you keep the DVD/CD as a backup.

You don’t.

Not in Britain.

No, it’s not anything like that. My point was exactly the opposite: If you’re just a virgin that can’t get laid but you deal with it like a normal human being, you’re not an incel. Just a virgin and there is nothing wrong with that.

It’s would be more like calling every one has every played a game a gamer. Technically true, but utterly useless as term.

If you only want to use the word in the narrow literal sense, fine.

I don’t think that’s very useful. We don’t really need a special word for a virgin that can’t get laid. But we do need one that describes when people start blaming all women and form a misogynistic mindset around it. That’s how I choose to understand and use the term.

Can you be more specific about which part you think is wrong?

An incel (/ˈɪnsɛl/ ⓘ IN-sel; an abbreviation of “involuntary celibate”[1] or “involuntarily celibate”[2]), is a member of an online subculture of mostly heterosexual men […]

Sounds like a community to me.

Well yeah “nothing special about it” is pretty much a requirement for British food.

Right next to the fish.

Stopping AI from doing all the thinking for us.

Oh yeah, I don’t doubt that at all!

Seems more like masturbation/porn addiction as there is no sex involved, by definition.

Can virgins be sex addicts? Feels like getting addicted to a drug you never took :D

When I don’t, I feel kinda uncomfortable and I have to do it.

As long as you can control it enough so you don’t suddenly wank off in a public or an otherwise inappropriate setting, it should be fine. If it’s an issue, maybe consider getting a therapist.

But even today audio-only formats survive, maybe not as radio but as podcasts. Also cars, where you still can’t shouldn’t watch a video while driving.

Is it touching yourself or full on masturbation? Men have their hands in their trousers all the time when no one is looking. I’m almost double your age and I when I’m home alone just watching shows I fiddle with my dick all the time … not even in a sexual way.

If that is what you do, that perfectly normal … I think. Or we’re both weirdos.

I mean if you even consider doing NNN it can’t be that bad? What do you think an addiction is? Are you late for your job because you can’t stop masturbating?

But if that’s not the case and you can go even just a few days without it and not doing it more than … well, let’s say 5 times a day (depending on age), it’s probably not an addiction.

Well if it’s an exercise don’t tie it to a month. Just try not to do it and see how long you last and try to increase it over time.

I’m still not sure what the point would be or why you want to exercise that.

Don’t. NNN is incel bullshit.
