1984.  I could at least get a little nookie before going apeshit and getting shot.

Facist?

I'd rather live without orgasms than without my face.

I'm going to go with No Orgasm world.  

It doesn't matter if the chemical acts on desire or on physical arrousal.  Either way that'd be more energy into other pursuits.  Art would either get REALLY existential, or make HR Giger look like Dr. Seuss.  I want to see that, either way.  

Concept 1: everyone just mellows, only has kids when they want to, population dwindles, but effort goes into some really unique stuff in the meantime.

Concept 2: the land of eternal sexual frustration.  Everyone hyped, peaked, agitated.  Klingon.

Not that I'd LIKE to live there.  Personally, when I loose patience with human for every reason possible, I STILL like boobs.  Take that away, and I wouldn't be seen for weeks at a time.  Better than the soul - suckign conformity of 1984 world though.

Let's go with concept 2. Also, your genitals are locked in some sort of cage. Also, the keys are held by cat women in skin tight latex uniforms.

wait wait wait, this is the DYStopia thread.

I am honestly shocked that anyone here would choose to live in no orgasm world.

you guys should turn in your cards.

Wait... Would we be living in Oceania, Eurasia, or Eastasia?


Because the book doesn't say anything about what it's like over there.

Well, the food contains a chemical which prevents orgasm, right?

Grow your own food. Problem solved  8)



Also, lack of orgasm would cause a massive drop in the human population (a low birthrate would be sustainable via in vitro). That's got to count for something.

I assumed the choices presented were implicitly "ungameable" in the context of the thread. IOW, you can't choose no orgasm world and then say "but I have a way to have orgasms".

and why would anyone give a shit about lowering the human population? We're pretty far from overpopulated as it is, we just suck at distributing resources.

I guess so.

Nineteen Eighty-Four scared the shit out of me when I read it, though. I'll pick option two over something like that.

Actually, we are overpopulated.  It's just that you and I are in a region that isn't.

Whole world's turning to desert, ECH.  That's not distribution, that's shitty farming techniques being used because they need the maximum amount of food TODAY, and there's no time to think about tomorrow.

In 1984, there was the big celibacy league right?
sex was frowned upon, if i recall correctly?
so even if they didn't get rid of orgasm, they certainly didn't have good lovin' like in huxley's dystopia...

(psst huxley was brave new world, 1984 was Orwell.)



well if the food prevents arousal, you wouldn't get frustrated about not having orgasms right? then I suppose people would find other ways of getting their kicks.

but if it's the land of eternal sexual frustration, I'd pick 1984.

Sexual arousal is just one of those things that get in the way.

Like eating, sleeping, and totalitarian government, it oppresses your free will.

OH HELLO AGAIN GENITALS.

FOR THE 100TH TIME TODAY, THE BRAIN IS CONDUCTING IMPORTANT BUSINESS, GET BENT!

It's all a bunch of time wasting cockflappery.

I AM A HIGHER BEING, I HAVE NO TIME FOR FLATULENCE AND ORGASMS.


I voted for #2, because I'm basically that Robin Williams character from Baron Von Munchausen as it is.

And cameras everywhere, and you would be executed for unauthorized consorting, or if you appeared to actually have FUN during sex. That was, in fact, the MAIN FUCKING PLOT LINE.

I would rather live in a dystopia where my sex drive was simply chemically removed, than be left with it intact but forbidden to USE it, and constant surveillance to make sure I didn't go doing anything enjoyable, on pain of death.

Title: Re: Difficult Choices: Dystopia
Post by: The Wizard on March 16, 2010, 11:02:56 PM
I go for option two. Spending my life in a creativity stomping, emotionally barren society would result in two outcomes. A. Trying to get the Proles riled up for Revolution or B. Suicidal killing spree at Ministry of Love or Truth. Both would likely result in my death, while I could deal with without feeling sexual arousal as long as there were other things to do and think about.
