This article is about human sexuality. For the use of the term "Sexual Repression" in Biology , see Sexual repression (biology).

Sexual repression is a state in which a person is prevented from expressing their sexuality. Sexual repression is often associated with feelings of guilt or shame being associated with sexual impulses.[1] What constitutes sexual repression is subjective and can vary greatly between cultures and moral systems.

Sigmund Freud was the first to use the term widely, and argued that it was one of the roots of many problems in western society.[2]

Sexual repression is viewed a key problem in nearly all forms of feminism, especially radical feminism.[3]
