Ellie, Wyatt, Micah, Benjamin, and Gabriel are virgins. Involuntary celibates, really. It’s not that they don’t want to have sex, they just don’t know how. When the five connect on a virtual chatroom, they rely on each other to get their relationship questions answered. How many times is too many times to text someone in a row? What do girls prefer you call their boobs? What even is attraction? Inspired by the true origin of the word ‘incel,’ involuntary celibate how does radicalization to far right groups happen? And what happens when our safe spaces are no longer safe?​
