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...

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.

I choose 1984, since I always think with my dick as it were.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

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

(yeah.  and they had good lovin' in BNW....  in 1984, they had the abstinence league with their red sashes)

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.

waaiiiiiit was there a short story about option 2?

The Wizard

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.
