What happens when we suppress the sex drive?

We humans are very sexual creatures. The sex drive is there to ensure we continue to reproduce under almost any circumstances. Yet the more the urge is supressed, made 'filthy, unclean', and otherwise disrespected, the more that energy is manifested in a very vicious and dysfunctional manner.

Consider the plight of a Catholic priest, the most visible example in our society today. Here you have a 'lamb of God' who is unable to have any sexual interactions with anyone on the planet; instead, he is to direct that energy into his service of God. Yet over the past millennia, there have been countless examples of rape, infidelity, and genocide on the part of these male church members; priests have routinely engaged in the rape and abuse of children in their flocks; Cardinals were well known to have regularly invited Venetian courtesans into their beds; and members of the Inquisition routinely condemned 'female' witches to burn at the stake-after raping them and ruining their reputation forever.

This type of sexual deprivation and repression creates dysfunction where none ever truly needed to exist. Sexual attraction can never be eliminated, and can actually be intensified in close quarters. Without there being a legitimate sexual outlet for these men, the Catholic Church will be wrestling with the unpleasant matter of its horny priests for many years to come.
