Are there any books that explore the idea of a world without sex?
>>
Yes... or at least the short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury is about a world without sex.

Shimoneta. A light novel series where pornography, sex, and even dirty jokes are outlawed. The main character is a freedom fighter who streaks and tries to distribute porn with the help of a surveillance blocker that only works a few minutes a day.

The suppreme gentlemans manifesto has a section explaining his proposed utopia where all women are held in secret underground chambers, and "sexual attraction" is removed from men over generations since they've never seen a woman

He ignores the existence of gays though. I feel like his "utopia" would turn into the gayest civilization in history. Probably reminiscent of the gay ball in South Park

I will check it out, thanks.

>>23316027
That was to be expected.
>>23316003
Yeah but i meant more that it does not exist, not that it is just not allowed. But still sounds interesting.
>>23316010
No, in all forms.
>>23316031
Huh? I have read parts of it but not that part. I will re-read.

In Brave New World, people no longer have sex and humans are mass produced in vats.

>>23316088
I have not read it yet. Have they all become asexual? Or why are they not having sex?
>>
>>23315955
Heh. That's one way of putting it

>>23315945
maybe ask this on r/antisex

They have orgies but purely for pleasure, natural reproduction is taboo

it's (in a roundabout way) the central theme & plot point of the alteration

I've been looking for this for so long. Couldn't find it just by searching "in fact of course" and didn't remember any other details.

I long for the elimination of sexuality itself not just from the human, but even the animal and vegetable kingdoms, as far as is possible. And yes, it is because I'm not getting sex. But as De Maistre knew, nature is an infinitely capricious and cruel force. If through some conscious engineering some depraved soul could re-make the world in accordance with the above twisted design, it wouldn't last. Nature would eventually re-assert itself and re-establish the cruelty of sexual dimorphism, or some other compartmentalizing among individual organisms in the same species. Our greatest hope is the heat death of the universe (to which all signs point), at which point even the futility of life itself will be annulled.
