Paul B. Preciado administers testosterone everyday for a year without medical supervision. During the experiment, he analyzes gender and brings the history of sexuality up to date. With the precision of Foucault and Butler, he traces the role of the pharmaceutical and pornography industries in defining how we express our sexualities, and shows how technologies of gender inform everyday life.
