Social Dis/Approval
It also implies a universalist position; while social disapproval and the infraction of "good morals" may be what determines whether a particular [[perversion|act]] is [[perversion|perverse]] or not, this is not the essence of the [[perversion|perverse structure]].
A [[perversion|perverse structure]] remains [[perversion|perverse]] even when the [[perversion|acts]] associated with it are socially approved. Moreover, in Lacan's formulation, it is the [[neurotic subject]] who is in conflict with the [[Name-of-the-Father]], in other words, with [[Law]] as such. The [[perverse subject]], on the other hand, 'knows very well' the letter of the [[Law]]--in other words, knows what the [[Other]] desires. The perverse structure follows the [[Law]] to the letter, follows the "''No''" of the [[Father]]--the dictum not to enjoy. According to Jean Clavreul, " As far as the pervert is concerned, this conflict [between [[desire]] and [[Law]]] is resolved by making desire the law of his acts."[http://www.lacan.com/conformperf.htm]
