I respectfully disagree with the OP's premise. America today is nowhere near where Orwell's fictional Britain in 1984 was.
Moreover, if you look at the cultural landscape in the last 50 years, it's not like we've been getting less sex and less sexual pleasure. The Pill, no fault divorce, abortion on demand, feminism and women becoming their own providers have led to more sex, not less.
If I wanted to be really paranoid, I would submit a different theory: that the purveyors of cultural marxism have used commitment-free sex as a weapon of mass destruction to eliminate the foundation of a free society - that is, monogamous marriage / traditional family - and with it take away our freedoms, one by one, in exchange for a free fuck here and there.
Family is a threat to the State, not two or more consenting adults engaging in kinky sex.
The deal that I see being offered in the US as well in Europe (actually, even more so here in Europe) is: no more sexual "oppression", fuck around as much as you can, and in exchange please don't mind that we take a half of your income in taxes, dictate the boundaries of free speech, indoctrinate your children in public schools, and manage your entire adult life in accordance with the One True Belief, which at least in Europe is that we all belong to the State and the State is the actual "family".
And people take it. The lure is too strong.
This would make for a much longer post but I hope you guys see what I mean.
