Pornosec

"Opinberlega voru austur-þýsk yfirvöld á því að klám væri einkenni á óheilbrigðum kapítalískum samfélögum og ætti ekkert erindi við staðfasta sósíalista réttum megin við Berlínarmúrinn."

Já.  Þeir voru ekki skilgreinanlegir sem mennskir þarna fyrir austan.

She had even (an infallibIe mark of good reputation) been picked out to work in Pornosec, the sub- section of the Fiction Department which turned out cheap pornography for distribution among the proles. It was nicknamed Muck House by the people who worked in it, she remarked. There she had remained for a year, helping to produce booklets in sealed packets with titles like Spanking Stories or One Night in a Girls' School, to be bought furtively by proletarian youths who were under the impression that they were buying something illegal.

What are these books like?' said Winston curiously.

'Oh, ghastly rubbish. They're boring, really. They only have six plots, but they swap them round a bit. Of course I was only on the kaleidoscopes. I was never in the Rewrite Squad. I'm not literary, dear -- not even enough for that.'

He learned with astonishment that all the workers in Pornosec, except the heads of the departments, were girls. The theory was that men, whose sex instincts were less controllable than those of women, were in greater danger of being corrupted by the filth they handled.
