Incels: Masculinity in the Transition to Adulthood Incels are men who are members of an online community that experiences an unmet desire for sex and blame women for their struggle. Since 2019 there have been several mass murder attacks committed by Incels motivated by Incel ideology creating a threat of future violence. While the vast majority of Incels do not commit such attacks, researchers have begun to study Incels to prevent violence and uncover the true nature of this community. The study of Incels is incipient; therefore, more knowledge about interventions to address the struggles of involuntary celibacy is needed. This paper emphasizes the masculinity strain experienced by Incels who attempt to perform hegemonic masculinity as part of the transition to adulthood but fall short because of their lack of sexual activity. This work proposes the creation and implementation of Incel-specific, online therapeutic interventions and continued research directly with the Incel community to uncover the complexities of Incel experiences.
