Yes, one of the party's goal is to kill the animal instinct. To take the pleasure away from sex. And to do so there is a Junior Anti-Sex League, sex talks once a month for people in puberty, lots of banners, posters and pamphlets... anything to remind the people that the sexual act is bad. There is a porn factory in the fiction department, but all the workers are unmarried females, as the male has more difficulty in controlling their sex hormones. The party encourages marriage and making love only to procreate, to have babies. And when no babies were made, the couple was encouraged to part. These ideologies worked especially well with women. Katherine, Winston's wife, called it "Our duty to the party", which Winston hated. To him, Katherine was an idiot who's only reason to live was to please the party, and who had banners and slogans in her head instead of a brain.
Thankfully for him, many years after they had parted, Winston met Julia, who tells him that she is corrupted to the bone. Her first love affair was at the age of 16 with a 60 year old man, and she's had sex "scores of time ever since". Winston told her that the more men she slept with, the better. He asked her if she like the sexual sex itself, and she said yes. The weird part is, she is part of the Junior Anti-Sex League, she works multiple hours after her working hours in the fiction department to hand out pamphlets and make banners and post the "rot all around London". But that is all an act, she only does it so that she does not draw attention to her, so that it doesn't make her suspicious. "Always yell with the crowd" she would say. She still has her animal instinct inside of her. Winston and Julia are just made for each other. Also, if succeeding in having children, parents are encouraged to love them and take care of them and make them grow and educate them according to the principles of INGSOC. On the other hand, the children are taught and encouraged to by cautious, attentive, to spy on their parents and report them to the Thought Police. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? Poor parents, they who raise their children as best as they could, with love and care and attention, their children are encouraged to report them. They kill the very reason they are alive!
