As with us here, suppression of feelings and thoughts happens as a child, and then -- that does not get reversed instantly, or without working hard on it. Because the problems with sex are inside (the person), things that happen outside ("being everywhere") do not automatically correct it.

This probably will seem like a strange comparison, but -- Hitler apparently had huge internal fears about Jews, Slovaks, the mentally ill, retarded people, practically anyone he saw as "weak". (There is evidence that he actually had a Jewish ancestor, and that he knew or suspected that.) He evidently feared that he shared in their weakness and could not stand that thought. He killed many people in an attempt to wipe out his fears of them, but as many people as he could kill, he could never kill his fears, because his fears were inside of him, not outside.

That is my interpretation, anyway.
