Qn 1: Is the BNW model of sex without strings attached and no concern about procreation, an acceptable one for today’s world?
In our opinion, sex without strings attached and no concern about procreation is unaccepted in our society. In Brave New World, this kind of society is acceptable because the notion of "everyone belongs to everyone else" is deeply ingrained into the minds of each and every individual. Sex can happen with anybody, and it would not be wrong no matter who you do it with. It is not treated as a process for procreation at all but instead is treated lightly as an activity that can be carried out with anyone. Furthermore, it is even considered to be wrong and unacceptable if a young woman only stays true to one man for a long period of time in Brave New World. All in all, the society that Brave New World had painted was of one that promiscuity is the way to go in society. However, this is not so in our world today. Promiscuity is not accepted by muslims and both men and women are not allowed to have sex before marriage. They are also unable to divorce their spouse as stated in their Quran. In other countries, promiscuity is also frowned upon but instead being true to only one partner is the norm in our society. When one partner is promiscuous and having more than one partners, he or she will instead be frowned upon, and the relationship between this couple will be damaged. All these shows how promiscuity is not accepted in our society today, and people are expected to stay true to one another, thus drawing a sharp contrast to the society depicted in Brave New World. Although there are people in our current society that have sex without the concern for procreation, but sex is still regarded as something that allows our population to grow in our world today and not merely as an activity that anyone can engage in, therefore sex without strings attached and no concern about procreation is generally unacceptable in today's world.
