"Play around" together naked

When reading Brave New World, it talked about the little children playing around together naked. They are released into a playground naked and are encouraged to play sexual games with each other. These children are encouraged to have sexual intercourse with each other. Children at the age in our society don't even know what sexual intercourse is. Are they encouraged to do this because they are needed to clone and reproduce?
We don't learn about sexual intercourse until we are in at least in middle school or high school. So why teach these children and encourage them to do it? Its like they have no respect for these children. They only interact with people in their own castes so they can reproduce their own kind. But what if an epsilon mated with an alpha? Would that child come out to be a world controller or stupid?

They don't mate and reproduce in Brave New World. The women are all either sterile or forced to use birth control. Babies are grown in little bottles in big factories.
They encourage sexual activity because, to them, it has no meaning. The only thing that matters is that it feels good.There are no emotions attached to sex like in our society.
