It's funny how the position for boot-licking is so close to the one used for curb-stomping.

YOU MUST CHOOSE!

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

not a difficult choice at all - tells us a lot about you though Cram . . .  :wink:

Facist?

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

Richter

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.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

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 want to change my vote.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine stiletto heels stamping on genitals - forever.

Holy HELL Cram  :lulz:  It'd be the land of everyone debasing themselves to get off in strange and different ways!

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

you guys should turn in your cards.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

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.
Is it plugged in?

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.
