I have a question about the Sex Toys.
Sorry for The Everything, I was just thinking about the game as I was going to bed, and wanted to know if anyone else thought/talked about this.
So, I just barely started playing, but I've been lurking in the Lore part of YouTube for a while. I know that Murkoff is trying to make the Reagents really anti-pleasure at all, considering they're not allowed Alcohol, Nicotine and Caffeine, and like a good percentage of the trials are some variation of, "Destroy the Sex Toys."
But why are we allowed to have straight up Sex Toys in our sleep rooms?
I know Meta-wise, it doesn't matter, and it's probably just because there are people who enjoy the "[INSERT] the sex toys," trials, but I always think of the lore relevance/consistency.
As a guess, it's probably to deter Reagents from having sex, but I figured they'd just monitor and punish if they suspected that, since the medical stuff from pregnancy and STDs would be more expensive than Murkoff is willing to deal with. But I'm still super confused about why so much of our conditioning is anti-hedonism/sadomasochism, and yet we're still allowed to have not one, but TWO different sex toys.
