That really comes down to the individual. Not everyone is a hedonist.

Call me a prude but I think orgies should be done inside

Why inside if everyone is participating anyways?
At least as long as the weather is good.

Too many variables with outdoor orgies. Weather is one thing but then you have to deal with insects, dirt and sand, sun burns and heat exhaustion. I could go on but I think you get the point it’s just a logistical nightmare.

Asterix and the golden cauldron. I didn’t understand that panel as a child because i didn’t know the word orgy, so I went and asked my mum what it meant…

I’ve read that a lot of kids learned what an orgy is from that book!

As usual the issue is ownership.

The owning class, you guessed it, own all the machines that create the abundance and so they get almost 100% of the reward.

All the orgies and none of the work for them, all of the work and none of the orgies for us. :(

100%, they will only pay subsistence + treats on average, regardless of productivity.

Just from my own observation, people in general are so subsumed by the system that they could not comprehend life outside of it.

Sure they can. We see that in a lot of fiction. Most apocalyptic fiction works due to a lot of people wanting to have some excitement rather then a normal job.
