I think repressed urges do manifest themselves in more extreme ways, so that would agree with religious people being kinkier once they acted on their kink. This country is mostly closet freaks due to Puritan repression.

Kinky is based on a "norm" or "standard." In all probability, religious in origin. What if everyone did it and said nothing about it, is it still kinky?

most studies seem to agree most kinks can be traced back to an experience in childhood eg being smacked on the bottom that is then extended into a persons sexual psyche

I always understood that as a Catholic thing. I guess its about the natural response to repression. And the constant focus on sin. Yummy!

On the flip side, after marriage, the song comparing the freedom to have sex and actually having sex is a hoot in Monty Python's Meaning of Life:

The world changes so fast that i don't think there's any way to quantify kink anymore.

I confess to the pleasure of overcoming the taboo things some religious women seem to claim they would never do.
