ABSTRACT
In opening themselves to foreign matter—to relentless penetrations and bodily fluids and excreta—gay “pigs” do not just present us with a form of masculinity that troubles the foundational distinctions of modern European thought. They also constitute themselves through a process of addition; that is, by augmenting themselves and their masculinities to superhuman levels. In this chapter, I continue to move through pornography and interview materials, as well as philosophy and psychoanalytical theory, to explore the ways in which bodily fluids function, in “pigsex”, as media of both self-intoxication and self-augmentation that highlight the plasticity of masculinity itself, sending it on a path towards a posthuman becoming sustained by an economy of unproductive excess that rejects both the symbolic primacy of the Phallus in the constitution of masculinity and the capitalist reduction of the body to a standing reserve of consumer- and labour-power.
