"Orgy-porgy, Ford and fun,
Kiss the girls and make them One.
Boys at one with girls at peace;
Orgy-porgy gives release."
-Brave New World Page 84
This quote explains the thought processes used by the futuristic society. They would partake in sexual orgies as recreational activities. Large numbers of men and women would gather to join in orgies that consisted of certain rituals, sayings, and sex. This particular quote was one of the sayings said at the orgy. It was taught to children in their sleep, as to cement the idea in the children's brains. Sex and orgies are two of the bases of the future sexually charged society. The pleasure-centered characteristics of the society helped keep the public oppressed and "happy."

Brave New World July 16, 2010 Pages 81-106
The author Huxley characterizes the "savages" of the reserves as those who did not conform to the created realities of the new world government. They are those who did not forfeit their right to birth offspring and care for their young. This right of keeping and raising offspring which we today feel as an inalienable right and a requirement of being human, was taken by the world government to aid in creating a subservient class of people. The proletariat created questions little and basks in temptations of the flesh. Huxley portrays the general population as ignorant of all ideologies and very attracted to pleasure that serves no real purpose. This revelation reflects the characteristics of current societies as well. Many people are dumbfounded when it comes to current problems, ideas, and policies, but delight in practices that serve no vital purpose. Huxley realized that ignorance is a very real problem in modern society.
