Foucault and sex

Interesting that people keep mentioning Marx when answering my mails and the
general hostility towards the canon. This is ironic when we consdier the
debt F owes to his work and other Western Marxists (Althusser etc). Also
interesting is the use of violent sexualised language in response to
queries. For example, the reference to Marx screwing sheep and Asher Haig
talking about fist fucking.

To stay on subject and keep with the theme, I wonder how much Foucault's
well documented sexual experimentation (bondage, sado-masochism, sauna sex
etc) fed into his general world view. Especially when we consider his views
of the body as loci of resistance and power (bio-power). Any thoughts?
