A summary of Chapter Six of 1984, talks about sex and love in the fictional dystopia of 1984.
Winston had been married once, to a woman named Katherine. It had been a party approved marriage but he had soon found life with her impossible. The fact that she did not have a single original thought and simply functioned as a party mouthpiece was bad enough. But what had been truly unbearable was the sex. Winston would not have minded remaining celibate, but Katherine insisted they go through the process at fixed intervals to “fulfill their duty to the Party” by producing a child. And each time, it was clear to Winston that she hated the act and was merely submitting passively. When no children appeared they parted with Party approval and mutual relief.
His encounter with the prostitute also had been a farce as he realized when he saw the woman in the light she was aged and wrinkled and he did not feel the slightest attraction for her. But he had sex with her anyway as if it was the inevitable thing to do. In fact all his relationships had left him revolted and disgusted and he longed for one proper relation with some personal warmth of feeling involved. But that seemed an impossible dream in the circumstances.
Writing about his experience with the prostitute and with his wife had been extremely difficult, but he had undertaken it hoping that it would serve a therapeutic purpose. But when he had finished entering it in his diary, he found that the therapy had not worked, he felt as sick and full of self-loathing as before.
He realized that the sexual act in a fulfilling sense would be an act of rebellion. The Party tried to make its women asexual and desire was ranked high among the list of thoughtcrimes. If he could break that barrier of indoctrination in at least one relationship, he felt he would be seriously challenging the Party. But he had no hope that such a relationship was possible.
For those that have also had relationships with foreign girls whether at home or abroad, did you also feel like you had, "broken free" and were rebelling in a way? I did. I felt like I had beaten the system. America wants you to accept their bondage to the corporate state. Don't accept it.
This will be my last post because I'm not a big gamer of women in the sense that I understand how they are, but still am more relationship oriented with maybe a mistress on the side to keep my mind sharp. I hold traditional views of female and male roles in life. I don't think I can contribute much to this forum except I want to say one thing to the American guys: GET OUT! February 2013 is the date of my flight out. I will not be coming back to the states for a LONG time. However you can, whenever you can, just take the plunge and escape. Don't get stuck here in this country. The grass truly is greener across the pond. Especially to the posters and lurkers (not everyone) around here who I suspect aren't getting much ass here in the states. Life is about having sex. It makes you happier. If you aren't getting it, your missing out, and you should change what your doing.
