New forms of sexual repression contributing to male suicide.

The recent reported rise in the numbers of men who are either depressed or have contemplated suicide are of concern, but what's really behind the distressing story of these figures?

Sexuality has been subject to repression since society began. There have been all forms of repression and taboo created around sexuality and the expression of sexual pleasure, supported by the teachings of religions and reinforced at times by insane laws. These repressions have led to all manner of illnesses and distortions within the human psyche, as Freud discovered when he invented psychoanalysis.

Now, in 2017 we are living under a new form of sexual repression, which subtly entered our culture after the so called liberation of the 1970's. This new form of puritanism manifests through political correctness and other ideologies that have gained traction in western society, 'feminism' being one of them.

It's certainly true to say that in the past women's sexuality was repressed by society to the extent that it was difficult for women to express any kind of sexual urges publicly at all. Now, the boot has shifted to the other foot and men have become the victims of sexual repression, fearful of the consequences of expressing their normal sexual needs (I am not of course talking about abnormal or violent forms of sexuality, which are further manifestations of repression).

Increasingly we see male sexuality being maligned and repressed in every area of our culture, and this is bound to lead to a negative impact on the overall psychology of men. It is now almost forbidden for men in western societies to express their sexuality freely, unless of course they are gay.
If we are not quite at this point yet, we probably will be soon and it's only a matter of time until the subtle and barely noticeable forms of repression against male sexuality have become well established.

Does this sound far fetched? Surely I'm some kind of reactionary nutcase with an axe to grind, right?Well, to give a true example, in case you are doubting what I am saying, I recently worked at an adult training company in London where the female staff openly bragged about bonking the male students. Such announcements were greeted with approval by other female staff, including management. However, male staff did not feel at liberty to even mention an attraction to a female student unless in hushed all-
male company, for fear of being judged and possibly sacked or accused of 'sexism'.

Cases like this are happening every day in London, justified by concocted and sometimes convincing arguments based on political ideologies, many of which are themselves based on fear and repression planted deep in the psyche of their proponents.The effects of these misguided ideas are catastrophic and lead to more repression, more fear, less freedom and less psychological health.
