Hey Nick Fuentes, Sexual Repression Isn’t Virtue
Groyper movement leader Nick Fuentes recently revealed he’s a virgin. What’s it say about the young men who follow him?
Every few months, another internet personality proudly brags about never having had sex, as if abstinence itself grants moral authority. The most recent example is far-right commentator Nick Fuentes, who openly admits he’s never slept with a woman while simultaneously using his platform to promote hostility toward them. His comment wasn’t framed as self-reflection, it was framed as superiority.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Chronic sexual suppression doesn’t create stronger men — it creates angrier ones.
And the consequences ripple far beyond the individual.
Sex is more than a physical act. It’s an emotional and hormonal process deeply tied to well-being. Regular sexual expression, whether partnered or solo, is linked to:
Lower stress and anxiety
Healthier sleep patterns
Improved mood via oxytocin and dopamine
Better emotional regulation
Reduced irritability and depression
When these forms of release are missing, especially long-term, the pressure doesn’t disappear. It compounds. People can become resentful, obsessive, or detached from social norms around connection.
It’s not a coincidence that oppressive regimes often try to regulate sexual behavior.
Fuentes seems to be drawing from Nazi ideology which framed masturbation and sexual freedom as corrosive forces that weakened men. Propaganda encouraged soldiers to abstain from self-pleasure, insisting that sexual release drained strength and discipline, a belief unfounded in science but useful for creating obedient, tightly controlled followers.
Deny men autonomy over their bodies, tell them desire is shameful, isolate them emotionally, and make their identity dependent on a rigid ideology, suddenly, they’re way easier to manipulate.
Sound familiar?
Today’s online “NoFap” communities started as a space for people seeking healthier relationships with porn. But parts of the movement have morphed into something darker, an echo chamber preaching that orgasm is weakness and abstinence is proof of superiority.
Some of these groups claim, with no scientific basis, that avoiding masturbation unlocks superpowers: clearer thinking, social dominance, women suddenly becoming attracted to you. When those promises fail, many young men spiral deeper into resentment. Incels push things even further, insisting that women owe them sex while simultaneously promoting beliefs that make healthy relationships impossible.
The result?
An entire generation of young men is being taught to fear intimacy, resent women, and worship repression.
Sexual frustration doesn’t justify misogyny, but it often fuels it.
When you combine lack of physical intimacy, no experience with romantic connection, ideologies that demonize women, communities rewarding sexual inexperience as “purity” and leaders who preach that sexual repression equals power…you get a volatile psychological mix and a lot of sad, lonely men looking for someone to blame.
Studies on incel forums and extremist groups show consistent patterns: sexual frustration is often redirected into anger, conspiracy thinking, and dehumanization of women. Not because desire itself is wrong, but because repressing desire under shame-based ideologies warps it.
What’s missing from these conversations is compassion and realism. Sex is a natural human need, not a moral failing. A world where men are taught to fear pleasure or view women as enemies is a world breeding loneliness, rage, and violence.
Instead of glorifying abstinence as proof of superiority, we should be teaching that sex is good and good for you.
When public figures celebrate never having sex as if it grants authority to attack women, it reinforces a cultural current that directly impacts millions on young men.
Sexuality doesn’t make men weak.
Shame does.
Isolation does.
Ideologies that treat intimacy as a threat do.
And until we confront the damage sexual repression is causing, we’ll continue to see more young men drifting toward movements that promise purpose, but deliver bitterness and blue balls.
