Orwell actually incorporated elements of pleasure as a means of control, evidenced by the presence alcohol, tobacco, and state sanctioned prostitution. The theme was simply more subdued and realistic where Huxleys vision was much more prominent and psychedelic. Though the strongest element of control in Brave New World seemed to be genetic engineering and brainwashing/ hypnotic suggestion.
