Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the time period in which Sigmund Freud developed his theories (late 19th and early 20th centuries), the predominant attitude toward sex was one of repression. Discussions of sex were considered taboo, and sexual behavior was often hidden, frowned upon, or punished. Freud's theories on the role of sexuality in human psychology challenged these societal norms and contributed to a greater understanding and acceptance of sexual expression.
