puritanism, plain and simple. The idea that a person by nature was wholly sinful and could achieve good only by severe and unremitting self-discipline. (Which, I suppose, *is* directly related to Pauls flesh v. spririt philosophy) Also in play is the fundamentalist beliefs that sex is for procreation and only acceptable between a husband and wife. Or, more succinctly, sex is fun and anything that’s fun MUST be sinful and a moral wrong.
