The book states" The involuntarily celibate include people who are physically or psychologically handicapped, or socially rejected. Add it to the article?

MyMoloboaccount ( talk) 16:47, (UTC) Reply Are you suggesting it can't be covered in sexual abstinence? It's not that there is opposition to covering the various issues of not having sex or the lovelorn, it's that we should put them in common-name context. I am really perplexed why there is such opposition to have an article on this subject.It should at least be a sub-section in Celibacy article. I have to add that a cursory review of search results shows a decent amount of coverage on the condition both in historic and psychological publications. So it seems that the term is definitely older than that. "Sometimes psychotherapy or counseling is needed to help people cope with involuntary celibacy (Brown, 1980)" Other search does state as per "Understanding sexuality Google books search gives results for this term beginning from 1807.
