There is a very good reason to believe that his final work, the History of Sexuality, was an intellectualization of his repressed heterosexuality. I was thinking about making a thread in this, but I want to finish up as much of Foucault's writings as I can and as many relevant secondaries as possible first.

His death is symbolically very interesting.

>>25169726
yeah those san fran bathhouses are full of deeply closeted and repressed gay men
>>
>>25169734
He said repressed heterosexuality though, meaning.... closeted straight man? Is that a thing?
>>
>>25169734
Yes, you could imagine a repressed heterosexual man doing buttfucking just like you could imagine a repressed homosexual having sex with women. Now what would a heterosexual man who has been led to believe in the discourse about homosexuality need to do to realize he is not homosexual just because he has enjoyed gay anal sex? Or I guess I should say, assuming homosexual/heterosexual are substantive categories that refer to a real biological sexual orientation rather than nominative ones we use to label people who enjoy or engage in certain sex acts. I know your gut reaction is going to be
>Nah no shot nigga doesn't make sense he was buttfuckin' he gay as shit nigga
But this is only if you accept the discourse on sex which Foucault sought to refute.

The case that he is homosexual is still very strong, but I just think the case he was a repressed heterosexual or had "repressed heterosexuality" is quite strong and quite interesting. I want to write about it more much later though.

Yes a possibility.
