Humans need not apply

The Party despises humanity, in every shape or form, true humanity is always squashed. Although The Party has done a very good job at reshaping families into their own liking and has wiped out the “traditional” marriage. The Party has instituted their own arranged marriages where neither person of the couple remotely like each other but are together just to make future Party members. Yet even the act of procreating new members is forbidden to all of the Party members and only a few are exempt from this rule. The most basic of instincts is being stamped out like any other crime, The Party has outlawed sex and they are very reluctant to even let married members have sex. This stigma of sex comes from the belief that The Party doesn't want people, it wants automatons. Any sexual is liberating and gives the the lucky few the feeling of being alive, this cannot be allowed in the eyes of Big Brother. The Party are even taking steps to completely abolish sex, in page 267 “The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now.” This law of celibacy has worked very well and has in many ways turned the citizens of Oceania into automatons.
