I don't know about once.

These people are full of vitality.

I attribute their high sex drives to their clean living principles.

'A sense of guilt may add spice to otherwise unremarkable vices. There are undoubtedly those who have converted to Christianity because they seek an excitement that mere pleasure can no longer supply. Think of Grahan Greene, who used the sense of sin he acquired through converting to Catholicism as an aphrodisiac. Morality has hardly made us better people; but it has certainly enriched our vices.
Post Christians deny themselves the pleasures of guilt. They blush at using a queasy conscience to flavour their stale pleasures. As a result they are notably lacking in joi de vivre. Among those who have once been Christians, pleasure can be intense only if it is mixed with the sensation of acting immorally.'
