Why having sexual desire is bad and shameful in society?

I've always wondered why having a strong sex drive and desiring intimacy is stigmatized. People spend a significant amount of time thinking about sex, whether it's through friendships, relationships, or marriage. Yet, society often views it as filthy and shameful.

As a 25-year-old man, I feel embarrassed to admit that I crave intimacy. People respond by suggesting distractions like yoga or playing football, implying that my desires are a problem. However, I find it hypocritical that our parents' generation had multiple children without prioritizing safety or female pleasure.

It's frustrating to feel guilty about my natural desires. I'm tired of suppressing my urges to conform to societal expectations. When can I stop investing so much energy into hiding my true feelings? It's exhausting trying to maintain a facade of civility and morality.
