Human thoughts used to switch on genes

Come to think of it, the plot of Brave New World has an element of injecting a retro-model man into an advanced futuristic society, and how a woman in that society reacts to him. Huxley didn't write it as a romance novel, however, because Lenina Crowne's conditioning and promiscuity have impaired her ability to bond with men emotionally (a common topic of discussion in Manosphere blogs); she just obsesses over the Savage's physical attributes, and Huxley cuts off the possibility of her development towards emotional maturity by just ending the novel arbitrarily, with a lot of loose ends.
