While much of the Christian evangelical movement fosters judgmental attitudes surrounding sexuality, disapproving of other individuals who exhibit behaviors deemed morally reprehensible, other evangelical denominations embrace different viewpoints about human sexuality. In spite of the existence of ecumenical evangelical groups, the majority defines sexual morality through a narrow and prescriptive outlook and pathologizes certain sexual behaviors. Solutions to identified sexual problems are often provided through restrictive viewpoints despite the existence of largely opposing positions within this movement. Reaction formation and authoritarian personality theory are theorized as the primary explanations for individuals failing to conform to stringent religious sexual expectations.
虽然基督教福音派运动的很大一部分助长了对性行为的评判态度，不赞成表现出被认为在道德上应受谴责的行为的其他人，但其他福音派教派对人类性行为持有不同的观点。尽管存在普世福音派团体，但大多数人通过狭隘和规定性的观点来定义性道德，并将某些性行为病态化。尽管在这一运动中存在着截然不同的观点，但对于所确定的性问题的解决方案往往是通过限制性的观点来提供的。反应形成和权威人格理论被认为是个人未能符合严格的宗教性期望的主要解释。
