The great evil of a basementboi's life is that he is entirely cut off from contact with women. This point needs elaborating.
Basementbois are cut off from women, in the first place, because there are very few women at their level of society. One might imagine that among destitute people the sexes would be as equally balanced as elsewhere. But it is not so; in fact, one can almost say that below a certain level society is entirely male. The cause is presumably that unemployment affects women less than men; also that any presentable woman can, in the last resort, attach herself to some man. The result, for a basementboi, is that he is condemned to perpetual celibacy. For of course it goes without saying that if a basementboi finds no women at his own level, those above - even a very little above - are as far out of his reach as the moon. The reasons are not worth discussing, but there is no doubt that women never, or hardly ever, condescend to men who are much poorer than themselves. A basementboi, therefore, is a celibate from the moment when he takes to the basement. He is absolutely without hope of getting a wife, a mistress, or any kind of woman except - very rarely, when he can raise a few dollars - a prostitute.
It is obvious what the results of this must be: homosexuality, for instance, and occasional rape cases. But deeper than these there is the degradation worked in a man who knows he is not even considered fit for marriage. The sexual impulse, not to put it any higher, is a fundamental impulse, and starvation of it can be almost as demoralizing as physical hunger. The evil of poverty is not so much that it makes a man suffer as that it rots him physically and spiritually. And there can be no doubt that sexual starvation contributes to this rotting process. Cut off from the whole race of women, a basementboi feels himself degraded to the rank of a cripple or a lunatic. No humiliation could do more damage to a man's self-respect...

This would be spot on, except for the fact that I have a Male friend, who goes outside LESS than me, has LESS money than me, yet he has a girlfriend that he bones all the time...
