If I was born a few decades later, I could have become an incel. I didn't lose my virginity until age 29! Just thank fuck I dealt with my misery by myself rather than get sucked into the BS on social media.
I ended up paying a hooker for my first time. It wasn't pretty, but it got the job done. Mental barrier out of the way, and I'm now happily married.
Every so often, I log on to the r/virgin sub-Reddit (also used a couple of times by this ghoul from Plymouth). I always implore guys in their 20s to just suck it up and pay a hooker. 90% of them reject the advice as they think they deserve the dream of their first time being with someone they love. Normal and horny 16 year old boys don't give a fuck about that. They just want to get their dick wet. For some reason, these grown adult virgins cannot move on from this stupid fantasy. Most of them just become bitter, social outcasts but no harm to anyone. Others become deranged violent weirdos, a persona the Plymouth ghoul took the extreme.
There is a mental health crisis with young men. Whether they are being told that they are beautiful troons and just as much a lady as any normal woman, or they are good men and women are evil for not sucking their dicks, the internet creates hellish echo chambers which spill out to the rest of society.
If this ghoul had been born in 1980 instead, he might still be a loser but I'd damn near guarantee that he and those poor victims would still be alive.
