In The Introduction to the History of Sexuality, Foucault explains how in the 19th century, with the emergence of new societies, the discourse or knowledge on sex was not confronted with repulsion but it “implemented a whole machinery to produce real discourses on sex” (Foucault 69). In fact, this diffusion of the discourse on sexuality itself clearly accounts for the way in which sexuality was controlled and confined because it was determined in a certain type of knowledge which carries within it power. Foucault reflects on the general working hypothesis or "repressive hypothesis" and how it exercised its power to suppress people's sexuality. He has the power to decide what is normal or abnormal and what is ethical or unethical in matters of sexuality. Through discourses about life and sexuality, power is exercised because humans have learned to behave in relation to sexuality, a method that allows individuals to remain controlled and regulated. This explains why people have this feeling of behaving inappropriately when we talk about sex in a different way than society at large. Foucault emphasizes that sexuality is not only treated in terms of morality, but is a question of knowledge and “truth”. However, these speeches, including sexual speeches, are neither true nor false, but are simply understood as truth or lies to control society. As a result, sexuality begins to be explored scientifically, developing the “truth” science of sex (Foucault 69). For Foucault, he asserts that sexuality has developed as a form of science that makes us all fear such phenomena, which people believe to be true, and that this science thus helps society to discipline and control the behaviors of individuals . This passage reflects Foucault's broader argument that ...... middle of paper ...... easily controls and manipulates the way individuals behave. Although there are no real discourses about what is normal or abnormal to do in society, people understand and believe that these discourses are true or false, and they are thus manipulated by those in power. This sexual science is a form of disciplinary control that imprisons and keeps society under surveillance. This makes people feel like someone is watching them and becomes internally subjective to the rules and power of society. This is really the problem with living in modern society. In conclusion, people live in a society that has created fear among people in society, which causes them to feel and be responsible for their actions. Discourses are in reality a form in which power is exercised to discipline societies. Foucault's argument states that discourses are a form of subjugation, but this happens from without, not from within..
