Part 1: Chapter 6

Part 1: Chapter 6

1. The Party believes that marriage is a bond between people who want to have children. Sex is also seen as something for only producing a child, the most impressionable citizens for the Party. 

2. The Junior Anti-Sex League is a group of young women who wear red sashes and are completely against sex. This is beneficial to the Party, because sex (hopefully in most cases) is intimate, and when you are intimate with someone you trust them, which may lead to discussions against the Party.

3. Artsem is artificial insemination, a fake thing that keeps the hope for women to reproduce without sex. Supposedly they will impregnate you artificially, so women have no use for sex anymore.

4. Winston and Katharine were distant from each other, and after they didn't have a child they separated. Katherine stayed true to the Party's ideals about sex, and was very dispassionate when they did have intercourse, which in Katharine's mind was solely for the purpose of procreation and "(their) duty to the Party."

5. "He saw himself ...the thought of Katharine's white body, frozen forever by the hypnotic power of the Party," shows the way that the Party's ideals had basically taken away this woman's passion and feelings of any love. 

"Only the proles used scent. In his mind the smell of it was inextricably mixed up with fornication," gives you the idea that proles have a very different view of sexuality. They are more slack with the Party's idea of acceptable sexual relations.
