The According to [[Jacques Lacan|Lacan]], the lesson of [[psychoanalysis]] is that the [[subject]] is inherently [[divided ]] and can never be [[satisfaction|satisfied]].The We are plagued as [[subject]] is plagued s by the [[anxiety]] that its our ''[[jouissance]]'' - its our [[pleasure]] or [[enjoyment]] - is never enough.The In other [[subjectwords]] is , we are driven by an inherent [[dissatisfaction ]] and [[sense ]] of insufficiency.
[[Phallic jouissance]] is the jouissance that fails us, that disappoints us.We constantly ahve have the sense that there is something ''more''; we do not [[know ]] what this is, but we have the sense that it is there, and we [[want ]] it.This is the [[Phallic jouissanceform]] is that form of enjoyment jouissance that the subject experiences.The Lacan [[subjectidentifies]], even after it grasps its as [[object of desirephallus|phallic]] remains dissatisfied.The subject is disappointed and has a sense that its desire has not been fully satisfied.This sense of dissatisfaction that always leaves something wanting is precisely what Lacan calls phallic [[jouissance and defines the masculine structure.A masculine structure is characterized by turning the Other into an objet a, and mistakenly thinking that the object can fully satisfy its desire.Phallic jouissance is experienced by both men and women and is defined as phallic insofar as it is characterized by failure]].
[[phallus|Phallic]] [[jouissance]] is that form of [[enjoyment]] that most of us [[experience]] most of the [[time]]; that is to say, just when we [[think]] we possess our [[object]] of [[desire]] - be that [[another]] person, a new possession or even a difficult [[idea]] we have been struggling to get hold of - we are still dissatisfied; we are disappointed and have a sense that our [[desire]] has not been fully [[satisfied]]. This sense of (dis)[[satisfaction]] that always leaves something wanting is precisely what [[Lacan]] calls [[phallus|phallic]] [[jouissance]] and defines the [[masculine]] [[structure]].

The [[Lacanian]] '[[formulae]] of [[sexuation]]" make up a crucial part of Žižek's thinking: one way of characterizing the overall trajectory of his [[work]] is as a movement from a masculine [[logic]] of the [[universal]] and its exception towards a [[feminine]] logic of a [[not-all]]' without exception.
Everything in Žižek can ultimately be [[understood]] in [[terms]] of these two formulae.
As Žižek asks: 'What if [[sexual]] [[difference]] is ultimately a kind of zero-institution of the [[social]] [[split]] of humankind, the naturalized, minimal zero-difference, a split that. prior to signalling any determinate social difference, signals this difference as such? The [[struggle]] for [[hegemony]] would then, once
again, be the struggle for how this zero-difference is overdetermined by other [[particular]] social differences." (p. 338)
