Glass of water theory

The glass of water theory is a reductionist doctrine affirming that in communist society the satisfaction of sexual desires, of love, will be as simple and unimportant as drinking a glass of water.[1] The theory always used to be falsely attributed to Alexandra Kollontai; in reality it is a gross oversimplification of Kollontai’s idea.[2][3] Anatoly Lunacharsky criticised the theory in his article "On Everyday Life: Young People and the "Glass of Water" Theory".[4]
