prudish people

Wanna try again with an opening that isn't so bad faith?

Edit: Well, didn't take long to prove my point and double-down. OP laughed at someone's genuine response. OP is getting the "bad faith troll" user tag

Most prudish and formerly prudish people that I know were taught to be scared of sex.

They are also usually told horror stories about diseases and how it shreds parts of your heart and how it makes you an animal instead of a human.

But yeah, it's either fear or a desire to live in a better world.

There is a certain amount of power in being the kind of person that you're not allowed to talk about sex with unless you're in a relationship with them and behind closed doors.

In my case - and this isn't quite an answer to your question, but - I only have a problem with men. Too many men - not all, but enough of them - don't mind their bodily hygiene, which I can find repulsive. This is not ideological but experience and prejudice on my side. I have the opposite prejudice - and experience - regarding women.

Which is to say: I love sex but I hate to fear whether my next romp is going to be in a bed of flowers or in the gutter.

PS: how interesting that I have an aversion to "the gutter" but at the same time have some other... edgy? kinks. 🤣

In my case as to why lewd things are bad: addiction relapse and dissociation after sexual stimuli.

Not really a prude but sometimes the vibes or something remind of a rape I experienced and it really ruins it for me.

It's the puritanism

One might avoid the act because they are self-conscious (e.g. body image) rather than out of an inherent dislike.

Because of people like you.

Can people ask questions normally like mature adults for a while without baiting for negative reactions?

Hate sex? no, i support sex within a marriage.

Ok many comments bash OP for the word choice “prudish” to point out this is a bad faith troll. I would also point out the issue with “hate sex”. There are people who are not prudish at all, and love sex, and still don’t want to see lewd things. Famously, arousal reduces thresholds for feeling disgust. I would argue that it is quite normal for humans to see overly revealing images of most bodies off putting, unless in an actual sexual situation. Then, there are people, I would be fine calling them prudish in the lack of a better term, as shyness kind of undersells this, who really don’t want to see, hear, talk about, or even mention sex. Someone like that can still really like sex- doing it, not talking about it. So “hate sex” is not the same as “don’t want to see explicit porn all the time everywhere”.
