sexual repression, n.All

Sexual repression (n.) has ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠its deepest root in the upright creature's organic defence against its earlier animal existence — we are born between urine and faeces.

Sexual repression (n.) in ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the ascetic disciplines was really a dare to the ego: "If you can thwart your biological nature, you really do exist!"

Sexual repression (n.) plays ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in modern society the role of an injured deity getting its own back in every sphere — even in psychology, where it would reduce spirit to itself.
