Document Summary
Intro of the history of sexuality, vol 1. Yes, we are to an extract, sexually repressed, but in fact, we talk bout sex a lot as a culture, and we have done this for a long time. Though there are ebbs and flows in how much it is talked about, it has constantly been spoken to. Capitalism is huge in how sex is sold to us. It cops some of the language of feminism, for an appalling ends. She pushes down the male dancers, but she"s basically half naked and telling us to buy pepsi. It is about how many other companies pepsi owns. It is thus about the propagation o the idea of choice which behind which lies no choice at all. We can"t stop having sex, otherwise we cease to exist as a species. Our mode of our reproduction is coopted by power structures, which is why foucault is interested.
