Is the reputation of catholics for sexual repression actually true or just a meme

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Its definitely true and there's a lot of correlation between sexual assault/misconduct and repression though doing science here is obviously really hard so all I can share is some personal anecdotes.

I see a lot of sex tourists here in Thailand (and Vietnam where I lived previously) from repressed countries like middle east region and India and its scary how badly these people are behaving to the point where they are banned from many sex avenues. I had a fried who basically was a Islam virgin and a complete sexual retard and obviously very promiscuous when detached from that until he managed to grow up in a year or two.

Religious sexual repression is scary. My pet theory is that middle east problems would be solved if every dude was just handed a pocket pussy when they turn 16 lol

I know my comment isn't directly about catholicism but its the same thing no matter which religion is enforcing the repression.

I think, as with most things, it's a continuum. On one end, they are pretty chill and at the other end are the extremists that are convinced exposed shoulders will instantly corrupt anyone with a penis.
