like in 1984? i'd say so. sex is a biological need and depriving people of it leads to frustration and aggression. if i remember well, what they did in 1984 was motivate people to channel their inner negative feelings (derived from not having sex) into a mad love for war and hate; which suited the inner party since people were much easier to control while they were obsessing about war. i'd also say this is going on with modern soldiers too- it's easier to control them and provoke aggression in them since they're often sexually deprived, so in the end they turn to violent behaviour such as rape.
why exactly would a society deprived of sex be easier to control? i believe that the lack of sexual activity in such a society would leave a gaping hole in their needs and they would wish to substitute it with something else...and when the ones in charge of such a society offer a substitute they might become dependant on it, thus the society can control them with the distribution and availability of the substitute.

Wow, what a great question... is it a question?
I know that after a week I begin to get angry and after a few I become depressed and perhaps more open to suggestion.

To the answers above. Then what about the Romans? They were pretty interested in war. I don't think they were as sexually repressed as say, America?
