What do you think is primarily behind people's hypocritical stance on sexuality?

Except for the maybe 1% that are asexual, or obvious stances like "Children present", "not with you" etc. Are there any reasons that make sense? Some possibilities:
a) Don't want to be hit on by everybody, so will only be hit on by horny toads who don't respect anyone's personal boundaries,
b) Desire to save potential partners to oneself by insisting nobody should be sexual,
c) Belief it's against religion, but yield to temptation when it's sinful enough,
d) Don't want to hurt someone's feelings, say it's about being virtuous but then get it on with another person,
e) Desire to be considered one of the maybe 1% of people who aren't interested in sex, then get hitched with someone who actually isn't,
f) Desire to end humankind by stopping human reproduction,
g) Societal pressure to be "nice person" or playing hard to get but people do this when there seems to be no benefit.
Not putting up a poll because I'm hoping people will actually discuss this, that isn't exhaustive list by any means, but I don't actually know to what degree anybody is influenced by any of them.

Religion. One of the things I learned from being anonymous online, is that people tend to share how they truly feel, especially about how they present themselves publicly, when it comes to sex, completely suppressing what makes them happy. It's such a waste, going through life, missing out on what one wants.
