I never finished it. The protag was a weird horny misogynist. And though he had fundamental problems with the state of the world, he was too cowardly to do anything to counter it except to sneak around fucking some nympho chick, and, in fact, was derisive of those who actually do rebel against it. The dystopia of it was interesting, but the narrative was not remotely engrossing and often insufferable after the initial world building, at least up the point I dropped it. Maybe it got better towards the end, but I’ve read a synopsis of it since then and it doesn’t really seem like it. Not my cup of tea.
Grain of salt here because it’s been a hot minute since I read it. IIRC, He’s allowed to have sex with his wife and only his wife, and his wife and him hate each other. He wants to have lots of casual sex but that’s only allowed among the party members. He laments that the party members won’t sleep with him and that all the women he’d like to sleep with are untrustworthy and will snitch him out. His wife ends up leaving and he meets the nympho and they start meeting up for sex. That’s what I remember

Well he is forbidden to have sex if I remember correctly. Only the proels may enjoy such acts
