''[[Jouissance]]'' is a [[French]] term.
<blockquote>"''[[Jouissance]]'', insofar as it is [[sexual]], is [[phallic]], which means that it does not relate to the [[Other]] as such."<ref>{{S20}} p.58</ref></blockquote>
==''Jouissance'' and Repetition==
(He drew support for his argument from the [[hysteria|hysterical]] [[symptom]] of [[repetition]].)
[[Lacan]] defines [[repetition]] as a [[trace]], a kind of [[writing]], that commemorates "an irruption of jouissance."<ref>1991, p. 89</ref>
[[Lacan]] posits a basic opposition between [[need]] and [[drive]].
<blockquote>"And if the social bond is established by renouncing the [[satisfaction]] of the [[drive]], it is because this [[satisfaction]] implies the [[enjoyment]] — in the juridical sense of the term — of [[object]]s that could either belong to [[other]]s or deprive them of their [[jouissance]]."</blockquote>
