Hmm, a world where birth rates are so low the government has been encouraging any sex to help bump it up, even to the point of altering societal norms to help urge on the sex drive? This is definitely a world on the “fringe” or rather, well removed from it.
“And we haven’t seen any large amounts of people running around, so maybe it’s a depopulation thing? People wearing clothing don’t “consent” or whatever, so they’re selfish and holding back repopulation?” AHHH-HA!
I wonder how they handle the fall and winter months. You can’t turn New York into a nudist colony then! (Except then people would have even more of an incentive to huddle together for warmth…and by that I mean sex.)
I’m sticking to the cabs for sure. I wonder what happens if you wear clothes on this world? Do you get arrested for it? Charged with decent exposure maybe?
It’s basically like if you take off your shirt as a woman in public here, on this world, in a place where there are no laws prohibiting it. A police officer will sternly rebuke you, and suggest that you’re causing trouble, but there are no laws against it, but if you keep it up and it causes a disturbance of the peace, trouble will ensue.
At least, metagaming, that’s how I have it in my head.
My hat to toss in theory ring: pandemic sterilty virus dropped birth rates to practically nil and offed the elderly at the same time, causing massive population decreases worldwide.
Moral guidelines tossed in vain attempt to repopulate using free love model from 60’s.
The more I find out, the less I know….that could be an alternate title for this LOL

…Well, at least *one* of my theories was right. 😀

Or maybe not, actually. Yeah. Stick to cabs in winter here.

Grand Central Station. Heh. And you should SEE the Empire State Building and the subways.

Not fucking working (all pun intended) LOL
“Even Educated Fleas.” Best. Page Title. Ever.
Wait. I thought this was an inherent feature of this world. Apparently not? If birth rates weren’t always this low, why are they so low now?
