Well, yes and no. You do know what happens in books such as 1984, right? It can turn into a disaster! At first it would be fun but then... can you imagine being horny all day?

Yes... I already am... (j/k)
Just being horny all day would be no good, that's true. If however you could do something about it, the advantages of such world would have to be thoroughly considered...

At first it's Utopia but then it turns Dystopia. What seems Utopic is actually Dystopic.
Yes. :

You do know what Jim Morrinson thought about having sex with anyone at anyplace, right?
What I say is... well... I can't concentrate right now with all this heat

It's tricky. In the beginning no-one notices it's a Dystopia. Everything looks nice and perfect but then the eventual problems begin to emerge.

Well, no, I never asked him. From the way you say it however I would infer that he was strongly in favour of it
What I say is... well... I can't concentrate right now with all this heat
That's a strange thing to say But yeah, I hear the Danish babes are hot, dude...

Really? As I recall, it starts of pretty bleak and descends into pure misery.
Not my kind of Utopia, anyway

Hold on, I'm not talking specifically about 1984 but Utopias/Dystopias in general.

1984 or the underwear thing?

Oh. Then how do you know? Have you ever seen a successful Utopia degrading into a Dystopia?
1984 or the underwear thing?
Take your pick

No, I've never seen it but I'm sure that's the way it works Every Utopia will eventualy turn into a Dystopia. There isn't such thing as a "perfect world".
Take your pick
If it's the underwear thing, forum temperature will suddenly drop. And it's winter here - so I hope it's Orwell

Even in your imagination? That's what Utopias are about - imagining the perfect world...

Okay, you got me - it's the Orwell thing. I just don't like those overalls.

You're right - actually, parts of the underwear have certain functions.

You don't want to go to Denmark with us? That's so disappointing...

I wanted to say something... but then I realized I can't - not in public
Anyway, you have a point, underwear is good! Cos you can take it off...
