This seems consistent with what I learned in CCD and Catholic school in the 90s-00s. We were always told that sexual pleasure was increased in a marriage and a sign of god blessing the marriage, whereas sexual pleasure outside of a marriage was cheap and damaging.

Edit: side note, I didn’t think this fucked me up until I got married and realized I’d felt ashamed every other time I’d had sex. I never believed in god, and this is pretty obviously trying to steer behavior, so I thought I was unaffected, but it’s still a brain virus

Being ashamed of and being shamed for sex has permeated into society, no one is completely immune to it.

It’s pretty common, but I’ve always been very sex positive, with zero shame about nudity or bodily functions. I don’t notice any shame since I got married ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Of course, I didn’t think there was any beforehand, so who knows

I don't think this true, orientation certainly but I can't imagine being shamed for or ashamed of sex

I'm old, and I'm still discovering ways a fundamentalist upbringing fucked me up.

I... I don't know? I don't think so?
