==Shaming regulates availability, not demand. | ==Shaming regulates availability, not demand.== | ||
Shaming says "This is not for you". It doesn't decrease the amount someone will look for something. You are trying to psychologically manipulate someone from transferring demand to actual success in the opoen, it does't actually decrease demand, and certainly not desire (probably increases both). If I tell someone they are going to be punished for wanting sex and so they have less sex, it's not because they want it less it's because they are told they will be punished ''if they have it''. IE it's regulating the ''availability'' of sex, see [[supply side sexual economics]]. | Shaming says "This is not for you". It doesn't decrease the amount someone will look for something.

For example, North Korea heavily shames watching foreign films. This does not decrease the ''demand'' for foreign films, it only manipulates people who are demanding it to do it less openly so as to reduce the influx of film coming in. | For example, North Korea heavily shames watching foreign films.

And providing incentives for sex is about increasing [[sexual sublimination]], not direct demand | |||
