What are the rules for sex and marriage among party members in 1984?

We can
piece together the following rules for sex and marriage. A Party committee has to approve a
marriage, and it won't do so if suspects there is any genuine physical attraction between the
two people in question. As for sex, the Party's desire is that it be strictly for procreation.
They don't want people, in or out of marriage, to enjoy sex or find any erotic charge in it,
because they don't want individuals to form loyalties outside of those to the Party and Big
Brother.
