Deep dives
Sexual Shame and its Cultural Impact
Our culture tends to bombard everyone with sexual shame, which in turn affects the way people view and express their sexuality. American culture, for example, still carries puritanical views and often portrays sex as dirty and sinful. This can create deep-seated shame and guilt around sexual desires and acts. Additionally, society's mixed messages about sex, such as sexual stimuli being pervasive while simultaneously shaming sexual expression, can further contribute to sexual shame. This shame is often rooted in early experiences, where sexual exploration or curiosity was met with secrecy and punishment, leading individuals to associate sexuality with secrecy, badness, and shame. As a result, many people reach adulthood with hidden, repressed, or conflicted views and behaviors around their sexuality.
