The Grip On Reproduction
Because of the importance of territorial expansion and related warrior deaths, reproduction had to be stimulated. This was achieved by demonizing non-reproductive sexual practices, particularly homosexual acts and masturbation.
Natural sexual expression was denounced as immature and immoral, with masturbation being attributed to childlike behavior. Genitals were declared dirty and despicable, not to be touched, making ritualized mutilations the symbols of advancement.
Additionally, sadistic torture served to remind individuals of their limited power and lack of self-ownership.
