On the other hand, we might want to view the androgyny of Dionysos, already in Aiskhylos called a gunnis (womanish man) and pseudanor (counterfeit man, frag. 61 Nauck 2 ), as a true mixture of masculine and feminine. [...] Such a view would stress male and female aspects alike; it would regard the god as embodying a dynamic process or as configuring in his person an alternate mode of reality. Convincing as this view may be, it runs the risk of underrating the fact that it is precisely Dionysos' identification with the feminine that gives him and his theater their power.

he is the god of good rains in the winter and snow in spring; a body that looks like mine; man's countenance on a women's body; woman's countenance on a man's body; wine as truth; wine as releasing; wine as — wine!; ambiguity; shifting faces; masks and roles and other beloved falsities; destruction; summarily thorough recreation of the self; lust; love in its truest form; desire; sex and the joy it brings; pain; pain in its truest form; pain and the joy it brings; sex and pain together; sitting and waiting for your time; working hard; hardly working; accessing the self through the symbol; the "you" at the end of it; the "you" that will disappear; thanatos — bios — thanatos.

"In the erotic art, truth is drawn from pleasure itself, understood as a practice and accumulated as experience; pleasure is not considered in relation to an absolute law of the permitted and the forbidden, nor by reference to a criterion of utility, but first and foremost in relation to itself; it is experienced as pleasure, evaluated in terms of its intensity, its special quality, its duration, its reverberations in the body and the soul."

Michel Foucault, The History of Sexuality, trans. 1978 by Robert Hurley.
