15 Most Sexually Repressed Cultures in The World

10. Inis Beag

Cultural Sex Restrictions – Inis Beag is an Irish island community. According to a study, during the 1960s, the inhabitants of this town did not feel that orgasm was typical for women. In terms of sex, the only time individuals would freely engage in it was during marriage, which was usually planned by their parents. According to Messengers’ interviewees, this “dutiful” intercourse had almost no foreplay, and no oral sex, and had to be completed as quickly as possible. The action was always performed in the missionary posture, and partners wore the majority of their garments. Anal intercourse was supposed to have happened largely by mistake because individuals didn’t realize what they were doing. Masturbation, sex conversation, and even innocent physical closeness were all judged unacceptable. Anyone who even tried them was punished.

Availability Of Sex Education – Messengers interviewed all 350 residents and discovered that not only was sex education nonexistent, but just three mothers had given their daughters any type of heads up about what to anticipate on the wedding night, with the majority preferring to “let nature take its course.” However, today, Inis Beag is as magnificent and rough as it has always been, but it is also a contemporary place that works hard to maintain its heritage, traditions, and local customs. According to Dr. Kate Lister, a sex historian, residents will now even let guests wash without their clothing on.

9. Poland

Anti-Sexuality Legislation – In research conducted by Romanienko, it was found that both communism and capitalism wreaked havoc on the intersectionality of artistic and sexual expression in Poland. Under both production systems, powerful organizations around the church and state have been major sources of repression, relegating citizen sexuality to the mere reproduction of new generations of passive consumers.

Romanieko added that the issue of sexuality has split Polish culture, with conservative sex education in schools, a strongly established Catholic sexual morality, and a government that explicitly condemns sexuality in minors. In conservative Poland, sex education is not required.
