Winston's Relations

In yet another scene of Winston's private life that Orwell allows us to observe, Winston is writing in his diary about a past sexual encounter he had with a prostitute. He recalls the Party's views about sex: that it should only be done for the purpose of producing a child and never for pleasure. And until Winton knows Julia, he is one of the many people manipulated by the government by this message. At the beginning of the novel, Winston's sexual fantasies were strangely wicked and immoral. I think this is due to the repression of his own sexuality. It makes him have violent impulses but he never lashes out, which is enough for the Party.
