Stifling Joy!

Sex is a near universal impulse for people. Christianity attaches guilt to that, because since nearly everyone feels it, the religion can piggyback its own associations on that to get the highest number of people feeling guilty as possible. Guilt over nothing is their stock in trade; get you hooked feeling bad about something you can't control, get you in the pews to feel better about it until the next time.

It's a typical tactic of abusers.
