	A prime example of this is the [[wikipedia:Guilt_(emotion)\|guilt]] that people feel when they express [[sexual]] desire in a [[culture]] of repression. When you are constantly told that [[lust]] is [[evil]], and any desire outside of a heterosexual, monogamous marriage is sinful, and that [https://www.bible.com/bible/compare/MAT.5.27-28 having lust in your heart is just as bad as adultery], of course you are going to feel [[wikipedia:Guilt_(emotion)\|guilty]] when your natural urge to [[reproduce]] presents itself.
