    I suspect that anonymous2s son is less thrilled with the asexual world they are living in than she is or that she thinks he is

    still, the fact that the situation is working at all indicates the power do have to organize society according to their own inclinations given any kind of opportunity.

And aren't people, even in "utopia" really mostly kept in line by fear, (probably in the case of males in this fear of social ostracism and permanent celibacy should they display too much sexual "precocity").
