Sexual Repression

Sexual repression refers to the suppression or control of sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors due to societal norms, personal beliefs, or psychological factors. It can manifest in various ways, such as feelings of guilt or shame around sexual desires, avoidance of sexual activity, or difficulty expressing one's sexuality. This repression can stem from cultural, religious, or familial influences, and it may lead to anxiety, relationship issues, or a lack of sexual fulfillment. Understanding and addressing sexual repression is important for mental and emotional well-being, allowing individuals to explore their sexuality in a healthy and positive manner.
