One thing that this culture always creates is a morality (religious or secular) that sees the biological need for pleasure as something weak and something to be ashamed of. It is, in a fundamental sense an anti-life morality, because it makes you feel guilty for being who you are.

It actually results in those people who follow the moral code to feel superior to those that don't follow the code.
While the nobility weren't morally surpressive but had the power in society, the bourgeoisie had no power but moral codes.
A bourgeois could say: I am better than the nobels because I follow that moral code.
