The 20 Best Movies About Repressed Sexuality

"Whether audiences are ashamed or comfortable in their sexuality, they will always be drawn to sex in cinema. Audiences are often introduced to – and influenced by – the sex they see depicted in films before they experience it themselves.
The following list is compiled of films featuring characters who are sexually repressed. Some are repressed due to guilt, shame, social or religious factors. Some suppress their sexuality due to past abuse or fear of emotional connection with another human being. Many of the characters have issues with accepting the vulnerability that can come with sexuality, or for others, the power it gives them over another person.
The following list details how the repression of something as integral as sexuality can impact the life and psychology of an individual – often with shocking and violent results".
The films are in chronological order by release year
