There's just a tendency among religions - and christian churches in particular - to stigmatize certain natural behaviors of humans, in order to induce feelings of guilt, shame and worthlessness among their gullible flocks, so that priests can sell forgiveness.

Indeed. In that sense, it's analogous to the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy.
