I do believe that morality is a social construct, but I also think that it is something that carries on inherently within us. Some behaviors just feel wrong, like lying or masturbating, for some. However, the more you do either, the less guilt you feel. Without any prior knowledge of what is right or wrong, I think some people have certain traits that they are born with, and one of these is inherent guilt over some acts. You may not want to feel guilty but you do and you cannot explain why. I honestly think this about some people; maybe the social values of the Old World still exists in a suppressed part of our initial consciousness.
Morality doesn't exist in reality.
