ABSTRACT

Let me summarise what has already been said. In “L’étourdit”, Lacan once again asked himself the Freudian question of what makes heterosexuality possible, it being understood that for those who speak, it cannot be a fact of nature. He must, as he says, obtain two halves corresponding to the sex ratio 1 of nature that conditions the survival of the species. He asks himself the question again after having advanced his “no such thing as a sexual relationship”, no discourse of suppléance either, namely no sexual social link. The question is one of knowing if he succeeded in producing these two halves.
