Why are sex-related sins so embarrassing?

Why are sex-related sins so embarrassing?

All sins are the same and there is no greater or smaller sin. All sins are deadly and bad. But why are sex-related sins so embarrassing? I am asking this question because often when people have committed sexual sins they opt to disappear within the thin air. For instance, two young people would impregnate each other and run away from their local church to fellowship in another church. Some would even stop to fellowship completely.

In born-again Christianity, it seems almost everybody finds it hard to even admit they are struggling in the area of sexuality, even when they truly do struggle with it. I have a reason to believe this intense embarrassment is not of a fleshly nature, but rather the workings of unclean spirits. It is very disturbing that we born-again Christians only talk about these challenges when someone is pregnant or is somehow caught and exposed. Otherwise in any other case we would prefer to hide and pretend as if every one of us doesn’t have sexual struggles.
