In this essay I address some of the ways in which certain images, which share visual and verbal vocabularies of body fluids, visualize male-male sexual identities and body practices. Through the articulation of these terms, and most especially semen, body boundaries are at once delineated and transgressed. The differential relatedness of these images from the Middle Ages and the late 1980s and 1990s is underlined by the ways they subvert contemporary conventions of visual representation while always remaining accessible. It is this efficacy which allows me to link these representations, and which I attempt to articulate. To put this in other terms, I am interested in the ways in which boundaries of the body prove themselves fluid, as fluids of the body cross body-boundaries.
在本文中，我探讨了某些共享体液视觉和语言词汇的图像描绘男性与男性之间性身份及身体行为的一些方式。通过这些术语的表述，尤其是精液，身体界限既被划定又被逾越。这些从中世纪到20世纪80年代末和90年代的图像，其差异性关联通过它们颠覆当代视觉表现惯例但又始终易懂的方式得以凸显。正是这种效力使我能够将这些表现联系起来，并试图予以阐明。换句话说，我感兴趣的是身体界限如何证明自身是流动的，因为身体的液体跨越了身体界限。
