Their meals are delivered to them, so I'd assume that medications were put in each individual's food. Remember that they were only to eat their own food and it was generally difficult to get a meal if you ended up being where you weren't supposed to be.
I could understand this but it's never addressed in the book. It's just assumed that such a thing doesn't exist. Even if the typical teenage urges are dealt with through drugs, that wouldn't stop emotional connections, as Cassia makes with Ky (although the text doesn't really back it up, it's hastily written at best).
Also, about the LGBTQ: You are not required to be matched. You were permitted to officially go "single".As I said, I assume this is what happens with LGBTQ characters, but their very existence is completely washed out of the story. There are absolutely no mentions of LGBTQ characters and the Society's dealings with them. They just don't exist. It's not good enough for the author to force the reader to make assumptions based upon scant evidence, especially when such
