As gay men, we don’t have sex in order to procreate. By our very natures, our sex is a testament to something beyond the desire to populate. It is a part of who we are as a culture. Our sex asks us to peer deeply into society’s injunctions against pleasure, the body, and lust. As a queer culture, we get to redefine how we experience our bodies and our own bodily fluids.
The perspective highlighted in this scene is the reinvention of sex through gay eyes, the fluids as an assortment of enjoyable aspects that heighten and expand our abilities to connect sexually beyond penetration – and most importantly, the meaning imbued in these various “subversive” acts.
