  4. Would marriage be retained? If so, who would conduct the ceremonies? Would married people have any rights or obligations beyond those of single people or those in alternative relationships? Would gay marriages be recognized?
  5. Would “alternative” relationships (gay/lesbian, bi, polyamorous, etc.) be prohibited, discouraged, tolerated, or encouraged? If only some forms of relationships would be discouraged, tolerated, or encouraged, which ones would they be, and why?
  6. Would your utopia encourage sexual freedom?
  7. Would women and men be equally free sexually?

  9. How would your utopia deal with sexually transmitted diseases?
  10. What would be the attitude toward youthful sexual experimentation?
  11. Would your utopia address problems of sexual jealousy and possessiveness when they arise? If so, would it do so openly (publicly)? Why would you choose to do this publicly? Or would such problems be dealt with privately? Why would you choose to do this privately? In either case, what procedure(s) would be used?
  12. Would your utopia ban, tolerate, or encourage  public nudity? If you’d ban it, why would you do so? If your utopia would tolerate nudity, would it be acceptable in all places and at all times?
