Dr Andrew Thomas is a senior lecturer of psychology at Swansea University and a writer.
The topic of involuntarily celibates is a spicy one. Half of the internet fears them and the other half pities them, very few have researched about why these communities come together and who constitutes them. Andrew's new work looks at this in fascinating detail.
Expect to learn whether incels should be looked at from a mental health perspective, why there isn't more incel violence, what the word Himpathy means, whether incels are all sexually entitled, what Andrew has learned about men’s experiences with female therapists and much more...
