The "Victorian Repression Thesis" is a theoretical construct in the study of nineteenth-century sexuality that posits the widespread internalization of strict sexual self-discipline and the suppression of erotic discourse in Victorian culture, distinguishing it from earlier and later historical models of sexual expression by emphasizing institutional, moral, and domestic enforcement of sexual silence and guilt.
