In reply to the discussion: Sexual union should be made illegal [View all]LadyHawkAZ

"The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now.

There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed.
~ George Orwell, 1984
