A peer-reviewed study found that men identifying as incels consume more pornography and experience greater body dissatisfaction than other men, particularly when they believe women expect them to look like pornographic actors. The research is from a new Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy study comparing incel and non-incel men on pornography consumption patterns and body image outcomes. The finding matters because it suggests pornography use may be reinforcing harmful body image cycles within incel communities, with potential downstream effects on relationship expectations and mental health.
