ABSTRACT
The obstacle of the phallus may manifest itself concretely at the very heart of the sexual act in the form of premature ejaculation. The push-to-Tiresias would lead the subject to abandon all phallic references in order to know something about the feminine jouissance that goes beyond the phallus, like Tiresias, who knew all about it because he had been changed into a woman for seven years. In Hector's case, the "dues" were linked to maternal love, and they were made infinite by the absence of a paternal barrier, or any other barrier, against this love. It was not accompanied by any sexual arousal, unlike Hector’s homosexuality, which, on the contrary, caused him to have erections. Lanzmann Claude's sexual ambiguity manifested itself through the feminine positions he adopted successively, and from which his hysterical question could be deduced: identification with the maternal lack, push-to-Tiresias, passive object delivered up to the phallic dagger of the man.
