Subject: Orwell on Sexuality -- De-Conditioning and "Socializing"
Natural Instincts
Key psychological concepts in [De-]Conditioning:
Desensitization, Habituation; Novelty, Stimulus Intensification; De-
realization, Fetishism, "Virtualization";
Decontextualizing, Objectification, Narcissism; "Social
Construction of Gender," Neutering; etc.
Why the lackeys of the NWO loudly trumpet to "family values,"
"marriage as a sacred institution" and "protecting the (sexual)
innocence of children," while, by "default,"covertly supporting
socioeconomic conditions that (1) require both spouses/parents to
labor 24/7 as gender-equal drones in the corporate workplace, (2)
discourage or even punish intimate relationships, nuclear-family
obligations, and child care as incompatible with primary corporate
loyalty, (3) through liberal education, entertainment media and the
"adult" marketplace encourage self-gratification, mutually-
objectifying temporary bonds, and money-based "exchanges of
services" as the preferred means of satisfying transitory
nonspecific sexual needs, (4) neglect or even ostracize juveniles
as irrelevant to mainstream society except as consumers and
tolerate gang membership as a mechanism for indoctrination into
group loyalty, preferable to the family unit, and (4) turn a blind
eye to human trafficking (sex slavery), child prostitution, and
sexual objectification of children.

George Orwell wasn't "sexually liberal" (meaning pro-abortion, pro-
pornography, pro-homosexuality etc) and no, he didn't ever change
his attitude.
In "1984", written at the end of his life, he described sexual
perversion as a tool of totalitarian government (the Party, Big
Brother) to destroy individuals, families and ultimately society:
30.Love Instinct & Family (...The Party was trying to kill sexual
attraction, or, if it could not be killed, then to distort it and
dirty it. The aim of the Party was not merely to prevent men and
women from forming loyalties which it might not be able to control.
Its real, undeclared purpose was to remove all pleasure from the
sexual act. Not love so much as eroticism was the enemy, inside
marriage as well as outside it....Tacitly the Party was even
inclined to encourage prostitution, as an outlet for instincts
which could not be altogether suppressed. Mere debauchery did not
matter very much, so long as it was furtive and joyless and only
involved the women of the submerged and despised class...The only
recognized purpose of marriage was to get children for the service
of the Party. For Party members all children were to be begotten by
artificial insemination (artsem, it was called in Newspeak) and
brought up in public institutions..."Already we are breaking down
the habits of thought which have survived from before the
Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and
between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust
a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there
will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their
parents at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct
will be eradicated. Procreation will be an animal formality like
the renewal of a ration card."...)
25.Prolefeed (...In the Ministry of Truth there was even a whole
sub-section - Pornosec, it was called in Newspeak - engaged in
producing the lowest kind of pornography....At school they had sex
talks once a month for the over-sixteen and rubbed it into youth
for years....)
35.The Brotherhood (...Members of the Brotherhood are prepared
to...corrupt the minds of children; distribute habit-forming drugs;
encourage prostitution; disseminate venereal diseases; do anything
which is likely to cause demoralization of society...)
The point Orwell was trying to make in his description of the
sexual relationship between Winston and Julia was that it was
"normal" and by being so, it was against the law of Big Brother and
was punishable by imprisonment, torture and death. The only kind of
sex allowed under Big Brother was that based on "debauchery" and
without committment, love or responsibility, and only with people
of inferior status, ie members of the Inner Party with those of the
Outer Party, and those of the Outer Party with those of the Masses
- one-night-stands with prostitutes for example.
That is what Orwell meant by "Anti-Sex" and that is why members of
the "Anti-Sex League" were allowed to engage in promiscuous sex
(e.g., Julia had sex many times with many partners) but were not
allowed to engage in sex in the context of a long-lasting loving
relationship. Children were ultimately to be conceived through
artificial insemination and raised in institutions by Big Brother,
not by natural parents in a family environment. Orwell got much of
his ideas for this horrific scenario from HUXLEY'S BRAVE NEW WORLD.
Orwell's description of the normal sexual relationship between
Winston and Julia -- and the bond it formed -- was symbolic of
their defiance against the government, the Party, Big Brother and
its "anti-sex" policies:
26.Rebellion (...Julia was 26 years old. She lived in a hostel with
thirty other girls. She had no memories of anything before the
early 'sixties, and the only person she had ever known who talked
frequently of the days before the Revolution was a grandfather who
had disappeared when she was eight. She had been a troop leader in
the Spies and branch Secretary in the Youth League before joining
the Anti-Sex League....Not merely the love of one person but the
animal instinct, the simple undifferentiated desire; that was the
force that would tear the Party to pieces. He pressed her down upon
the grass, among the fallen bluebells. Presently the rising and
falling of their breasts slowed to normal speed, and in a sort of
pleasant helplessness they fell apart. The sun seemed to have grown
hotter. They were both sleepy. Almost immediately they fell asleep
and slept for about half an hour. Winston woke first.
You could not have pure love or pure lust nowadays. No emotion was
pure, because everything was mixed up with fear and hatred. Their
embrace had been a battle, the climax a victory. It was a blow
struck against the Party. It was a political act...)
31.Love Nest (...One never saw a double bed nowadays, except in the
homes of the proles. Winston had occasionally slept in one in his
boyhood: Julia had never been in one before, so far as she could
remember. Presently they fell asleep for a little while. He did not
stir, because Julia was sleeping with her head in the crook of his
arm. He wondered vaguely whether in the abolished past it had been
a normal experience to lie in bed like this, in the cool of a
summer evening, a man and a woman with no clothes on, making love
when they chose, talking of what they chose, not feeling any
compulsion to get up, simply lying there and listening to peaceful
sounds outside. Surely there could never have been a time when that
seemed ordinary? Julia woke up, rubbed her eyes, and raised herself
on her elbow to look at the oilstove. She suddenly twisted herself
over in the bed, seized a shoe from the flooor, and sent it
hurtling into the corner....
37.We Are The Dead (...He held Julia's supple waist easily
encircled by his arm. From the hip to the knee her flank was
against his. Out of their bodies no child would ever come. That was
the one thing they could never do. Only by word of mouth, from mind
to mind, could they pass on the secret. "Do you remember," he said,
"the thrush that sang to us, that first day, at the edge of the
wood?"....The birds sang, the proles sang, the Party did not sing.
All round the world, In London and New York, in Africa and Brazil,
and in the mysterious, forbidden lands beyond the frontiers, in the
streets of Paris and Berlin, in the villages of the endless Russian
plain, the bazaars of China and Japan -- everywhere stood the same
solid unconquerable figure, made monstrous by work and
childbearing, toiling from birth to death and still singing. Out of
those mighty loins a race of conscious beings must one day come.
You were the dead; theirs was the future. But you could share in
the future if you kept alive the mind as they kept alive the body
and passed on the secret doctrine that two plus two make four....)
There is no "doublethink" about sexuality in Orwell's life or his
writing, as evidenced by the excerpts above. It is the government
(ie the Party, Big Brother) which practices "doublethink":
22.Doublethink (...The official ideology abounds with
contradictions....The Party systematically undermines the
solidarity of the family all the while appealing to the sentiment
of family...)
I hope that overview of Orwell's (and Winston's) attitude toward
sex clears up any misconceptions you had about Orwell being
"sexually liberal" in "1984". He wasn't "sexually liberal" nor was
he sexually inhibited. He was "just right" on the subject.
Articles in this week's newspaper describe how Orwellianly far
along the road to sexual depravity our government (Big Brother) -
working with the mainstream media (the Ministry of Truth) - has
taken us:
Looking for porn? Just turn on your TV (violent sex -- rape,
bondage, mutilation -- inundate network hits) & Telus cellphones to
offer porn (users spent $400 million last year downloading porn on
mobiles) and Redneck Calgary wants gay tourists (worth $65 billion
in US & Canada). Canada.com, Jan 28, 2007
