In Chapter Eleven, power is displayed through the doctors and the chair that the IM was strapped into. "...worn by the occupant of an electric chair...a man sitting with his back to me, manipulating dials on a panel." The Invisible Man had no control over what was happening to him, he physically and mentally wasn't capable.
Sex is in Chapter Eleven with the songs in the IM's head when he's falling in and out of consciousness and he hears one of the doctors suggest to the other that they do a castration on the Invisible Man, "Why not castration, doctor?" By how that comment is followed up, with laughter, they obviously see this as a joke instead of the Invisible Man as a person.
