There is a complicated relation between sexuality and power. Extreme manifestations of the abuse of power can deflect attention from the structural characteristics of this relation. In an unequal power relation the dominant group influences the culture's overall outlook-its philosophy, morality, even its science. This paper poses the question of `normal' sexuality as a function of power differentials: what kind of sexuality is assigned to less powerful groups? A broad cultural influence is attributed to both Freud and Kinsey. The scope these views leave for a subjectivity of the less powerful is explored. A constructionist approach could be meaningful if the issue of power is dealt with explicitly. |
