{{Top}}pervert|perversion (perversion) {{Bottom}} =====Sigmund Freud=====[[Perversion ]] was defined by [[Freud ]] as any form of sexual behaviour which deviates from the norm of heterosexual genital intercourse (Freud, 1905d). However, this defmition is problematised by Freud's own notions of the polymorphous perversity of all human sexuality, which is characterised by the absence of any pregiven natural order.
Lacan overcomes this impasse in Freudian theory by defining perversion not as a form of behaviour but as a clinical [[Structure]].
