Agreed with neoak. Incel means much more, and horrible, stuff than just being involuntarily celibate.
I hope the confessor isn't like that, and doesn't sound like it. They have to work on themselves for their own sake first, above the sake of others.
Would it be a bad idea, though, to suggest hiring a sex worker for a night? It's clear that the confessor can't get that out of their mind. The sex really won't change as much as they think, but this sounds like something that needs to be moved past.
This confessor cares. The fact that there is at least one cop who truly cares is a ray of light on an awful, broken system. Don't give up confessor. What makes you different is valuable to countless
Streaming isn't much of a future :( unfortunately, it may be better to pull the bandaid off soon and quit that then keep going, keep getting burned out, and keep worrying about what will come next
Note to self. Never ask someone from rural Mississippi if they're close with their family
I think the best thing to do in that scenario is to sell the house and move to a more moderately priced home in a decent area so that the confessor can save up money to transition out of being a streamer. That might mean going back to school or exploring other trades. The good thing about being a streamer is that you shouldn't be tied down to a specific location, so hopefully moving won't be too difficult.
For the streamer confession, it's pretty obvious you're burnt out. I know of plenty of streamers who felt the same. All I know is that there's been a couple of them who let their community know ahead of time that they're taking a small vacation. Not sure if something like that is feasible for you since we don't know how your community is, but it's an idea.
There's also switching genres of what you're playing into something more calming or that you enjoy. Sajam, an FGC commentator and content creator, talked about this a couple months ago (go to 2:27 if the link doesn't take you there):
He also directly talks about making content that you enjoy and the signs of showing burnout.
He goes into more detail in the second video, but the short version is that making the content you enjoy might cause a dip in subs, but 1) you'll enjoy it more because it's something YOU like, and 2) it'll resonate with the people who are watching, and eventually more people will show up because everyone is having a good-ass time.
Don't think of this as me trying to TELL you what to do, think of it as food for thought. After all, your mental health is more important than entertaining your community. And I bet if you ask them what's more important, they'll agree.

LMAO at everyone is doing it. Nope, not everyone is doing it. And, also, given the chance, I wouldn't do it.
That wouldn't help their self-esteem one bit... and that's the main problem. All it would take is them thinking that the person was looking at them with disgust and that would be it for the experience.
Keep at it though confessor. You may never get to where you accept yourself (to be honest, fitness / beauty has a habit of moving the goalposts on you)... but along the road you'll learn a lot, and more than anything there's value in realising you're capable of taking the short term pain for the long term gain. That sort of self-belief / confidence tends to be pretty attractive.
Women stare at me with disgust in their eyes.
I really doubt that's the case, it's much more likely the confessor is projecting their own lack of self worth and disgust onto other people. The sex part is weird though, why would everything change with sex?
Your self image/confidence issues won't go away, sex isn't a cure all for mental health issues.
That really sucks, but I have to question the decision to move to an expensive area that was beyond their means. A better idea would have been to stay somewhere cheap, save up and buy a house/apartment, so at least the living situation was dealt with should the streams dry out.
Why do I find the uncle molesting a dog the most fucked up thing here?
It's Mississippi, you kinda expect the incest. Beastiality on the other hand is always a shock.
Also about drinking on the final school trip, you guys arguing about it would die from shock about how common it is over here. I wouldn't be surprised if the confessor is from Greece or somewhere in the balkans.
I feel for the Twitch Streamer. I quit making Youtube videos for similar reasons. Playing video games is supposed to be fun and it was no longer fun for me.
this is family business
and this is for the family that can't be jizz us
The issue I have is having sex with your teacher. That's messed up. Now if the student has graduated high school and has decided to hit up the teacher for something? That I'm aight with.
Drinking is drinking. Students shouldn't be getting THAT drunk but it is what it is since the US makes it into such a taboo subject. Have to realize that other non-US places aren't so strict and taboo about drinking. Confessor isn't from the US methinks.
Keeping-it-in-the-family Confessor...... What in tarnation indeed. Y'all already found some kind of Jesus.
Twitch Streamer Confessor..... I'm with the other user that said to stream things that'll make you happy. You'll lose subs and money but your overall happiness will increase tremendously.

Not that sex isn't fun, but it's not life changing, confessor. I won't lie and say you're not missing out on something, but you shouldn't be overvaluing it. It's a fun time but it absolutely will not make you a happy person. Honestly pinching off a giant poop is a better physical feeling than sex.
Right. This confessor is not an incel. I remember thinking sex was such a big deal in high school until I lost my virginity. Don't pin so much on sex. If it really feels like this unattainable goal right now, and maybe this is an unpopular opinion, I don't really see the issue in paying a sex worker. As long as you live in a place where it is decriminalized and you know the women are taken care of there (I haven't ever looked into this, but I'm sure there's a way, since there are sex work activism groups run by women that I'm sure could direct you to a good place). I don't think there should be shame in that, though I believe you're also capable of finding a partner to be sexually intimate with, without having to pay. I just wanna throw out an option for you, because it may be better just to do it and have it over so you can move past the insecurity.
Moving on, I think it's great that you're seeing a therapist and working on physical health. I don't think anyone should be forced to look a certain way to feel attractive, but I do believe it's good to work on oneself if they feel their ideal self image is off from their current one. I'm personally trying to get a nice physique so that I feel more positive about physical image. I wish you the best, and please stay positive. Sex and romantic/intimate interactions don't just come from physical attraction, and I think you show strength of character in your want to improve, which I believe will be recognized by your future partners.

YOU KEEP CHASING THAT THRILL NO MATTER THE COST
This dude needs
I don't think that's a dude. Reads more like a case of anatomical incompatability if you know what I mean...
I feel that sex is a big and important part of a lot of relationships. If something doesn't work out in that departement I feel that's a more than valid reason to break it off.
YOU KEEP CHASING THAT THRILL NO MATTER THE COST
Wasn't thinking with his head...
Bullshit.
Yikes.
Um, divorce and hit the gym?
Jesus, what do you say to this...
Make one hell of a music career out of your anger and heartbreak.
Definitely time for a new job and to leave your wife. You can't stay in either environment.
Hell of an opportunity to re-invent yourself though.
Oh, and the "I love my partner, and can you already see where this is going?" poster... you're scum. The only upside to what you've done is that you feel bad about it, because you most definitely should. The sex not being good is no sort of an excuse either. That's the sort of thing you're supposed to work on together.

context
I work as a micro scientist in a large hospital. People always ask me like how you deal with some of the samples like urin, faeces etc. you know the smell of them and all the regular stuff people might think. Like how shit and piss samples will make you gag and puke - thing is you get used to those type of things over time. It's only a smell and there's lots of other smells in a lab anyway. There's only one sample type I've not been able to move past as being fucking horrible though, and that's sputum - or to you an me phlegm. There's just something in the wet, sticky consistency of thick, globular, infection ridden loogies that just knocks me sick and I never get used to
confession
Anyway I'd been dating this fellow mic for a year or so and it ended quite acrimoniously. Basically we'd had this agreement that I wouldn't moan about getting sex in the exchange that she would give me sex at least twice a week at any time (she was studying and busy with extra curricular stuff). Sounds corny but I used to love that little tingle if it had been dry until Wednesday knowing that there were only two days maximum. Sounds weird but it worked for a while. Anyway, as time went on she wasn't respecting the deal we'd made. So I sat her down explained the difficulty. She basically said I was wrong to put pressure on her, to which my response was the whole point of the deal was to take the pressure away while still being reasonable. Anyway, we staggered on for a bit but it was never 'fo real' if you get my jam. We broke up after about 3/4 months after that - there were loads of arguments and chats in the interim and it just died.
So fast forward, kinda awkward as we worked in the same dept. but only in the same lab spaces some of the time. And she had turned into some crazy bitch. She'd already had a go at my new lease car months prior to this, not the paintwork but right across the diamond cut alloys. And all four of them. There was the usual deranged shit such as social media spamming etc. which was ongoing to some extent despite being blocked. Anyway, this particular day I was in a proper rage because I'd been hitting on this new lab assistant who was kinda cute, and she decided to just basically fill her in on our storied past according to her bias. That just sent me over the edge.
Now you can't lose a sample in a lab because everything gets booked in. However you can split it once you have your range of tests accounted for. So there was an opportunity to divide this particularly nasty phelgm wad, and just scoop it into a piece of paper as a holding area. I eventually tipped it into my empty food container at the end of the day amidst dry heaves as it rolled around like thick treacle. I had to keep that piece of phlegm for just over a week until I got my chance - carried it amongst my possessions every day in a smaller tub. Sometimes they'd rock out to Costa for lunch and get a coffee and toastie, so she had the takeout cheese/tomato, came back into the break room and left it on the side as she nipped the toilet. People filtered out until it was just me left. I pulled out the small container from my cubby in the main cupboards and quickly prised the end of the toastie up and coaxed it in with the aid of a teaspoon. Still gagging like mad.
Later that day I was looking for her round the gas analysers and she'd gone. Someone mentioned she'd had to go home due to 'illness'. Felt fucking good that night going home. However, I did spend the next two weeks cacking myself in case anyone connected the dots about sample misuse. I don't know if she ever suspected me, guess so but she stopped fucking me round after that. Win for all the bro's in here right there.

This has to be bullshit. Nobody would put up with that without doing something. You'd have to have zero spine.
"She's very [...] non-binary"
Maybe you should try... you know... asking...
Do you mean she's androgynous, or that she identifies as non-binary? These are two very different things.
At any rate, just tell her you don't feel that sexual spark with her any longer because you figure you're gay. It's very possible to be homosexual and biromantic, for instance. See if you can't figure out if there's some way you both can see other people for sexual things, then y'all can cuddle at home, enjoy the love you share outside of sex.
Like you didn't say you weren't /in love/ with her any longer. You can be in love with someone and not wanna fuck them, after all. But if you think the romance is gone too or, for you, romance inherently needs to be sexual, then I'm afraid it's only fair to her to suggest cutting it off.
Also consider- are you attracted to men? If not, there's a not impossible chance you're asexual, too.
