    just as a follow-up, the sad thing is, nobody could explain to me why the puritans have such a strong aversion to sex. it’s just postulated but without any proof or at least hint that would make it plausible.

    i have actually asked for this specific question here about 3 days ago, to find an answer. i was downvoted to hell, nobody even tried to elaborate (except 1 friendly muslim) and people called me “bad-faithed” for even asking such a question.

      I think if you has asked “Why do puritans and others have such a strong aversion to sex?” you would have gotten better answers than asking your question “Prudish people, why do you hate sex?”

      It’s because well, sex is pleasurable (and kind of dirty), but mostly, they obviously tend towards suffering, like believing in hard work and denial, and sex is very much the opposite of that.
