ABSTRACT This paper will extend the main works of Michel Foucault “The History of Sexuality”. Which; is an area in his work that has interest me. Foucalt had many interest such as the well being of society, health, economic but, his work on sexuality was in my opinion, extensive and underestimated during his time.
