Degenitalizing the sexual
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Our desire to research BDSM practices and risk-taking behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM) emerged several years ago and is aligned with previously funded ethnographic research projects on bareback sex, gay bathhouses and risks, online gay cruising and risks, and 'swingers' and risk-taking behaviors, all funded by CIHR, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Mobilizing the poststructuralist scholarship of Deleuze and Guattari, this chapter refers explicitly to their concepts of lines, machines, and the body-without-organs in order to interpret the empirical data collected over the course of four months in three major metropolitan Canadian cities. Desiring-machines result from the combined force of social productions and desiring-productions. The essential mechanism of the despotic-(State)-machine (DsM) is that it brings together the components necessary for inscription and overcoding. Traditionally, most forms of 'sexual' activity place a strong emphasis on genital stimulation, often in the form of penetrative or oral sex.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
