摘要

本論文將從晚期現代個人化特質出發，思考三主題：一、台北都會男同性戀是如何在溫泉的健康、自然、純淨強力訴求之下，於該空間開展非常態情／慾活動？二、同性戀的情／慾活動必是放浪無羈的性耽溺，還是具自主性、自省性、個人性的肉身實踐？三、於公共空間進行的情／慾活動一定是公開情／慾活動？有無可能是私密情／慾活動的操演？思考此三提問或有助於一窺溫泉與台北都會男同志情／慾活動的關係，而兩者間的關係將分爲三個層次來探討：一、透過閱讀相關報導與文獻資料，反映異性戀常態社會對溫泉空間中（同性戀）情／慾活動（或同性戀族群本身）的態度；二、藉由文化論述，剖析同性戀情／慾政治及其展演的晚期現代個人化特質；三、進行個人深度訪談，呈現同志實現身體與心理渴求的方式，以及面對異性戀常態機制監管的態度。經由分梳此三層次，本論文期待探究溫泉與情／慾的關係、呈現台北都會男同性戀於溫泉空間所進行的多層次情／慾活動、分析此情／慾操演的個人化特質、思考同性戀情／慾操演對所謂「公共」空間與「私密」情／慾的限界的衝擊，並且體悟溫泉活動與空間的多元性與流動性。

This essay will focus on three problematics from the perspective of individualization in late-modernity: 1. How do the homosexuals in Taipei practice sex/erotic acts in the circumstance, in which being natural, being healthy and being pure are the main claims of spa activity? 2. Are gay sex/erotic acts the perverse sex addiction, or the corporeal practice of autonomy, self-reflexivity and individuality? 3. Should sex/erotic acts in public space be definitely defined as public sex? Can they be the performativity of private sex? Pondering on these three problematics may help us sketch a picture of the relationship between spa and gay sex/erotic acts in Taipei. The interaction between spa and homo-sexuality will be analyzed in three ways: 1. Re-reading reports and documents to reflect the attitude of heteronormative society towards (gay) sex/erotic acts (or gay group). 2. Introducing relevant theories to analyze gay sex/erotic politics and its individualized performativity in late modernity. 3. Interviewing gays who have spa experience to present strategies of the homosexual in fulfilling physical and mental needs and their response to the surveillance of heteronormativity. By doing the research in these three ways, this essay aims to explore the interminglement between spa and sex/eroticism, to present the multilayered sex/erotic acts of the homosexual in spa space, to analyze the individualization of gay sex/erotic performativity, to question the boundary between the so-called ”public” space and ”private” sex/erotic acts, and to realize the multiplicity and flexibility of spa space and its activities.
