:The view that The Greek conception of sex was virile, it took no account whatever of the other, the penetrated was merely an object to be used, a Dover - Foucauldian theory, is no longer unquestioningly accepted. It is actually debunked by Hubbard and James Davidson, among many others. Davidson in particular discusses the biases that led to that view (Dover's well-meaning but homophobic "defense" of Greek "normality" and Foucault's conflicted attitude towards his own, never admitted, love of being penetrated - a passion which sadly caused his death from AIDS, another fact long hidden by him and his supporters), itself a historical aberration.
