Homosexuality from a New PerspectiveSexuality means many different things to different people, especially sexuality of a homosexual nature. Everyone has their own personal ideologies about sexuality, many of which have been imposed on us by traditional society's representation of what is right and wrong. Bersani's goal is to take these social sexual idiosyncrasies and turn them on their head to reveal what he thinks gay male sex should be like. In Bersani's article, Is the rectum a tomb?, he supports ideas about the self, sexuality (especially homosexuality) and power. Bersani believes that the abolition of the self opens up many options on a sexual and psychological level. It rejects conventional ideologies relating to sexuality such as gender, identity and inequality, but offers new ways of thinking about sex and one's sexual identity by showing the reader new and unusual ways of seeing homosexuality and sexuality in general. In the article, Bersani discusses "the self" and that it should be eradicated. Here is what Bersani thinks of the "self": it is the self that is exalted at the idea of ​​being above, the self that makes the inevitable game of pushes and renunciations in sex an argument in favor of the natural authority of a sex over the other. .This quote shows Bersani's thoughts on how everyone controls themselves in the way they have been trained to think. The self is formed through a lifetime's experiences, actions, lessons, and simply living in the world we live in today. Abolishing the self means abolishing an old way of thinking about sex and sexual identities. Bersani makes it clear that he does not believe in unequal homosexual relationships or gender relations. It is a common belief in today's world, consciously or unconsciously, that "To be penetrated is to abdicate power".
