Fuentes identifies as an incel (or "involuntary celibate" ), although some of his supporters have criticized him for being a "voluntary celibate" after he admitted that he kissed a girl while he was in high school.[14][31] He has described himself as the "straightest guy" and attempted to defend himself as an incel by claiming that "the only really straight heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel", as "having sex with women is gay ... What's gayer than being like, 'I need cuddles. I need kisses ... I need to spend time with a woman.'"[32][33][34] In spite of his opposition to such relationships, he has expressed support for underage marriage, stating that the optimal age for a wife is 16, which as per him is "right when the milk is good."[35]
