Volcel is just leftist nofap, and if you unironically think we should all be volcel and think that celibacy is crucial for the revolution, that's cringe and you should feel bad.
EDIT: Being voluntarily celibate is a perfectly valid choice, I just take issue with proselytizing it to those who don't want to be celibate.
I wish no one unironically thought that, but I have seen a few comments to that effect in the past week or so. Otherwise I wouldn't have made the post.
Counterpoint: leftist movements have become weird sex cults enough times that an anti-horny policy is eminently reasonable.
"Perverts exist, so therefore everyone should just be celibate."
This sounds like a case of a cult of personality, which is a huge red flag even without any sex stuff.
Do you wanna have a kid with an undercover cop? Because being horny in your affinity group is how you end up having a kid with an undercover cop.
Undercover cops are gonna try to infiltrate leftist orgs whether the leftists are allowed to be horny or not.
Having protected, non-procreative sex shouldn't result in children. It sounds like these undercover cops started bogus long-term relationships with the activists, which is different from the activists just being horny. And if you're trying to argue that leftists shouldn't have long-term relationships with other (apparent) leftists, that's a completely separate conversation.

What part of ‘volcel’ isn’t clear to you
Unless you're doing a bit, this is part of the problem I made this post about. Under no pretext should love and companionship be surrendered.
There's never been a horny me,
Nor ever shall I horny be,
And if this sacred vow I break
I pray the Lord my posts to take
I... Don't think so lol
There are a couple of people who are into nofap that I've seen a couple times, but they don't call it being volcel, volcel is just a meme.
There have been a few "horniness is inherently bad and we should repress all of our sexual desires" takes recently.
No, but if I have replied to them recently I can usually find it. I haven't seen anyone unironically say expressing sexual desires is inherently bad or whatever.
And I've ESPECIALLY never seen anyone here say that suppressing sexual desires is necessary for the revolution lmao that's literally just a meme.
@VolcelPolice arrest this man. @VolcelVanguard he will be needing mandatory re education on the importance of the pledge :volcel-vanguard:
Thank you citizen, the vanguard wouldn't be nearly as effective without comrades like you reporting anti-volcel thought.
THE VOLCEL POLICE HAVE BEEN ABOLISHED, COMRADE
CUMMING IS A PROLETARIAN ACTIVITY
Thank you for your excellent work. It appears the vanguard has taken care of this pervert, he'll be serving time for this one
you say this, but watch, when the volcel vanguard weaponises their perfectly preserved libidinal energies to destroy capitalism using only tantric breathing exercises, you'll rethink this little comment
I agree, but normalizing asexuality is very different from asserting that people who *do* feel sexual attraction should choose to be celibate
And no social pressure for those who don't? I've seen some unironic "horniness is inherently bad" takes recently, which is what prompted this
Pushing volcel as a valid option is great for that. Claiming it's superior to being a person who admits to getting horny sometimes, and that it's somehow essential to revolution? Not so much.
Don’t worry we’ve all had to go to horny jail before. You’ll be alright.
I don’t know how to say this, but volcel sounds like some kind of revisionist neo-Kantian form of voluntarism which has no materialist grounding. It seems while you’d be correct in your rejection of inceldom which places celibacy in accordance with a reactionary and naive understanding of natural necessity you’ve fallen prey to a form of transcendental bourgeois idealism. Respectably, please take the time to read up on what it means to be a Diacel and acquaint yourself with a dialectical materialist theory of masturbation before making such grand statements again.

They are also 16, so i have no idea wtf they were doing here in the first place tbhWell if they're 16 I guess that explains the "mandatory celibacy" thing. I can understand a kid being uncomfortable seeing adults expressing sexual feelings in front of them. Doesn't make it a good take though, nor does it justify the transphobia.
I liked it when it was used to shut down men being creeps which does still happen but it's becoming an overplayed meme at this point.
