Hopousia is the sequel to JD Unwin's first book Sex and Culture. It was published after his "untimely death" with the help of Aldus Huxley who also penned the introduction to the work. Hopousia aims to answer the question of what would be required to reach a utopian society; putting forth two paths based around the main partnership structure of a civilization: monogamy or polygamy. While he posits through this speculative work that either monogamy or polygamy could provide structure for utopia Unwin argues that the most advanced civilizations are those which adhere to policies of strict sexual monogamy with other societies depleted of their sexual energy.
