This led to more people lying about their sex lives & true personal beliefs to keep the roofs over their heads. His new #AgeOfIntolerance created millennia of #SexualShame & social hypocrisy in which people condemn others for behaviors very like their own. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

DYK medieval priests used #penitentials during confession to instill #SexualShame in all Catholics? They would ask every man if he ever had #OralSex w/ another man & then ask him whether or not he had swallowed the semen.

Sexual shame: A hidden barrier to women’s intimacy and fulfillment
A new psychology paper examines how sexual shame—shaped by biological, psychological, and cultural factors—reduces arousal, desire, and overall sexual functioning in women, proposing a theoretical model linking these factors to negative sexual outcomes.

WHY DO I HATE DEEP DARK DARKROOMS for #gaycruising? Let a few lines from my #poem, "Deep Dark: Stranger Danger" give just ONE reason...

Don’t hide
The wear on our faces
Or the sanity in our eyes
But also don’t hide the blisters and sores
That are born from STIs

DYK #EmperorConstantine & his Council at Nicea gave us the #AgeOfIntolerance in 325? All non-#Catholics became homeless slaves, & #SoloSex/#fornication/sex outside marriage became sins & crimes & young & old began to lie about sex. Blog9 HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #SexualShame

Sexual shame isn't just about sex.

It's the feeling that who you are — what you want, how you're wired — is too much. Too wrong.
It didn't start in the bedroom. It started much earlier.

DYK #KKKristians who want God in gov’t may not have satisfying sex lives? Their doctrine (any kind of #SexPlay, except marital coitus, is sinful) disrespects the real world. Folks who have great sex, aren’t that sort of #Christian. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #HistSex #SexualShame

DYK the fear of non-believers & sexual non-conformists began to reach fever pitch in 1095? Pope #UrbanII called for a war against the Muslims to free the Christians in Jerusalem from their occupation. He used #SexualShame to inflame the Christian world against them. #HistSex

DYK one the most famous slogans of “deep penetration” advertising, which exploited sexual insecurity, was “I dreamed I stopped traffic in my Maidenform Bra”? It came out in 1949, ran for 20 years, & made breast size very important.

DYK in Catholic colonies, #SexualShame was private & developed in the confessional, the use of which spread rapidly in the 17thC? Catholics had to confess all their #MortalSins at least once a year during Lent. The church refused to bury anyone who died w/o confessing them.

The priest helped women & men do that. So people confessed many times during the year as a hedge against dying before their obligatory confession during Lent. Ghosts of #QueerHistory still haunt our #SexualShame. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

#SexualShame, church-induced or not, may lead to depression, deep anxiety, & low self-esteem. It may also block healthy intimacy. Shamed people may avoid touch, become numb, or push away loved ones. Ghosts of church doctrine still haunt.
