We get modern sex negative attitudes through puritanism. Puritanism basically sees to much pleasure as bad. We derive puritanism from Christianity. Christianity derives those values from Judaism, though I would say modern Judaism really can't hold a candle to how fucking miserable modern Christians can make themselves.

The values of "lack of nice things is a virtue" is the value of a conquered people. It's basically the last mental refuge. If you can't have freedom, you take virtue in being a slave; if you can't have pleasure, you take virtue in misery. The Roman conquest of the Jewish people both causes this philosophy, then eventually spreads it along with roman patriarchal thought to the rest of europe, eventually the Americas, and the rest of the world.
