In the novel, Lenina, the main female protagonist, is thought of as acting oddly because she has only slept with one man in the past three weeks. Because of this law, sex isn’t used for procreation but rather its used for as a distraction and pacifacation. In the World State, promiscuity is the law, and because of that having an emotional attachment with anyone is illegal. In Brave New World, the author talks about how sex and violence is portrayed as two extreame passions that a person may have. So while the government may encourage drug use, it only does so as a means of further controlling the population. The problem, as one character identifies, is that the citizens are essentially enslaved by the drug and turned into mindless drones. In the World State, everyone has been conditioned to love the drug Soma. If a person uses Soma in a high dosage, it creates a timeless hallucination. Soma in small doses makes a person feel good and stress free.

In the novel Huxley explains how the government gives the society a drug called Soma. He uses drugs and sex as an example to how a person will use them to cope with their own needs. In the novel, Huxley talks about how a society based around zero freedom, and identity can impact a person severely. The first time you read through Brave New World, one of the most striking things is how much sex and drugs are seemingly glorified. The novel is written in a sardonic tone the entire time. The novel is written intelligently, everything is explained thoroughly, and the tone of writing is interesting. With all the controversies out of the way, I think that this is one of those novels that a person should read at least once. The book shows that a society can have sex with anyone and do drugs, whilst being able to openly talk about it, and have the ability to handle the issues casually and publically, with there being zero consequences as a result, happiness can be found within a controlled society, with no freedom, and the lack of a personal identity.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is known for being one of the most banned or controversial books over the years.
