Interesting discussion on the interplay between power and sexuality - rather than repress, society has created an increase in the discussion and expression of sexuality through a variety of means: religiosity, legally, medicinally, psychologically, etc. it becomes pervasive in all areas/aspects of life.

So far, interesting. He situates the Victorian Repressive Hypothesis to properly debunk it by virtue of its own core tenets - censorship was not repression but rather another way for sex to be pervasive, to remain a focal point of topic. Very interesting how he also connects the influence of religion, particularly Christianity, on the discursive functions.
