Brave New World is a loveless society, a society in which its fundamental and primary need is stability. In order to maintain stability it is important for the government to eliminate any emotional attachments for another person. “Therefore there is no biological or social need for love and marriage. Sex-the only need that remains-can be satisfied without threat to the stability of the state, since sexual satisfaction contributes to the sense of well-being so essential to an efficient state” (King pg. 823). In hence, the only way to meet the need for sex with no emotions and without threating the government is to make sure it is done without meaning. Comparing it to our society, we have the basic need to love and be loved, it is what makes us human. We use family, friends, and/or relationships that come with attachments to reach stability. It’s these characteristics in our life’s that with no doubt hold us together. Huxley’s idea of meaningless sex in Brave New World is just another form of control the government seeks to have over
