It might not be true, but it's not entirely unbelievable.
If people grow up in an environment such as a non-mainstream religion or sect, where they intentionally segregate themselves from the rest of society, people are embarrassed to talk about sex or even think sex itself is sinful, they're told as kids that "touching yourself is bad, it's a sin", and every time they ask a question they're pointed toward the bible, it's perfectly possible.
If people are conditioned with enough guilt and fear, it can easily overwhelm curiosity.
