Atlas Shrugged Again: A Short Story — Louella Nelson
In 2186 at Earth II Headquarters, it's been out of fashion to engage in romantic and physical relationships for well over a hundred years. But Ariana, in therapy at the Dream Actualization Clinic, can't stop the feelings anymore....
Subversive elements such as the Climax Factory lurk beneath the galaxy's facade of sexless, intellectual utopia, and some of its residents are going off-zone to explore the forbidden world of sensory pleasure.
After nine hand-fastings that didn't work out, Ariana is still struggling to quell an over-abundance of emotions and desires. She has come to the famous Dr. Alec Duval for treatments to rid her of an obsession to know a man completely...only to discover that beneath his party-line facade, he appears to be as desperate for physical connection as she is.
Atlas Shrugged Again, an ironic, romantic short story, gives a nod to the original Ayn Rand novel's theme of individualism.
