Let's assume that you live in the future, in a utopian world that has discarded the oppressions of the present and somehow maintains a classless, racially harmonious society where gender and sexuality are free and fluid.

How does an egalitarian society regulate behavior in a manner that is not coercive or oppressive? Which SF examples point toward possible answers?
