> we got plenty of men both historically and in modern times that can last most or all of their lives without it. > can't say the same for women men can go our lives without it because it's involuntary celibacy. i don't think you understand the difference psychologically between a literally unobtainable activity vs practicing self-restraint toward something widely available to you. > ask out girl, get rejected, feel humiliated > ask out girl, get rejected, feel humiliated > ask out girl, get rejected, feel humiliated if you repeat this enough times, the dopamine risk/reward center of your brain will shut down and will stop juicing out enough motivation neurotransmitters to pursue a task.  meanwhile, a 7/10 woman going to a bar will swat away dozens of sex solicitations. they did a study where 8+/10 women get more than 10k direct or indirect sex invitations every year. a woman who's voluntarily monk mode (nun mode??) despite being horny and having access to males is genuinely impressive and rarer than a unicorn.
