As abstracted forces continually work to structure social reality, bodies are constantly pulled into conscribed systems of relation. Sexuality has played a crucial role in establishing systems of power, as social and institutional messages seek to fundamentally align individuals with their sexual desire. To serve these ends, sexuality has been constructed as an inseparable part of the human essence, and sanctioned behaviors are encouraged in the interest of healthy expression.This powerful construction has served as an avenue through which larger entities manipulate society in accordance with choice ideologies. Capitalist institutions are currently one of the most powerful systems harnessing sexuality to encourage compliance with exploitation. In modern society, discourses on sexuality have been relegated to the institution of marriage. Consequently, marriage as a contractual agreement in the service of the state is the only socially sanctioned way of performing sexuality. All other manifestations are seen as morally divergent, to varying extents. According to Foucault, this phenomenon is inextricably linked to a broader history of class struggle. The bourgeois class has a vested interest in confining sexuality to the marital sphere because marriage has been culturally constructed as a reproductive institution. In this way, the work ethic capitalism necessitates isn’t challenged or negated by purely pleasure-seeking activities. Instead, sexuality becomes a vessel through which both workers and capitalist ideology can be incubated and reproduced (1976).
