No you have it backwards Sawyer.
To bring Huxley into the mix, in Brave New World children are brought up to play erotic games from a young age, and casual sex is the norm.
When The Savage encounters Lenina, he wants to fall in love with her. Presumably, sex follows, but this is never addressed.
Lenina, on the other hand, is hopped up on soma and wants to have sex with The Savage immediately and casually. She was brought up and programmed in the World State where there is no such thing as love or feelings. The Savage, horrified by her attitude, beats her.
This is the perfect metaphor for modern sexual relations. In both Huxley and Orwell's works, there is a consistent theme that the more sexual freedom a society has, the less political freedom a society has.
This is particularly toxic in a place like the U.S., where we still maintain some puritanical indoctrination. It's a clash of worlds.
Walk by any newsstand. There are half naked women staring right at you. Billboards, commercials, internet. We're being sold the promise of sex multiple times, every single day.
It's all a distraction. Good for us sex-hungry red pillers, but bad for our society. It's the ideal enslavement scheme; if you keep the slaves happy there will never be an uprising.
