The sad thing is that the sex stuff could maybe have been written in a far better way, but its not and its just weird/creepy. Like I genuinely assume Orwell was trying to do something more interesting there but it fails to land on anything other than a naive reader. Even the teenager me who was willing to accept quite a bit of slop had a hard time with it. I assume people just reference it because, like Harry Potter, its one of the few books they ever engaged with.
Considering he was a removed, he probably wasn't trying to do anything more interesting than jerk himself off and hate women with that stuff.
I may be giving him some sort of creative benefit of the doubt that he doesn't deserve lol
