Abnormal psychology: What does sexual guilt mean?

Sexual guilt is to think that one's sexual psychology or behavior is a sinful thought and emotional experience. Sexual taboos generally exist in human society. In different societies and different historical periods, the specific contents and forms of sexual taboos are different. Sexual taboo means that some sexual psychology or sexual behavior is not allowed by society and should be stopped or punished. Sexual guilt stems from sexual taboos. With the development of individual psychology, social taboos are accepted by individuals (this is a part of socialization) and constitute an organic part of personal moral concepts and emotions. Violating taboos may lead to severe social punishment. In the process of socialization, social punishment is internalized into self-punishment (self-condemnation, self-degradation and even self-torture). Sexual guilt is essentially a kind of self-punishment for one's sexual psychology and behavior. Often buried in the deep layer of consciousness, not perceived by the parties. This is because sexual guilt is too painful and hurts people's conscience, so the parties take various so-called defense mechanisms to cover it up, transfer it or distort it. In the feudal society of China for thousands of years, all evils were always preached. The word "lewdness" not only refers to the wrong lewd behavior, but also refers to all thoughts, desires, emotions and thoughts related to sex, which is actually a way to preach sex as all evils. Sexual guilt originated from this long-standing idea in history and still has far-reaching influence. Nowadays, in many families, when children talk about sex, they are often scolded and regard these things as dirty, shameful, obscene and evil. This is actually a kind of sexual shame education, and it also casts a shadow on children's thoughts that sex is a crime, which will be strengthened in the future. Sexual guilt hidden deep in the heart or subconscious will lead to some sexual dysfunction consequences later, including psychogenic impotence, low libido, lack of sexual pleasure, and disharmony between husband and wife. Such patients can be recovered by psychoanalysis therapy or sexy intensive training therapy. The above is a detailed introduction of abnormal psychology. I hope I can help you.
