==Jacques Lacan==
===There is No Relation Between the Sexes===
[[Lacan]] first proposes his famous [[formula]]: ''il n'y a pas de rapport sexuel'' in 1970,<ref>{{L}} ''[[Seminar XVII|Le Séminaire. Livre XVII. L'envers de la psychanalyse, 1969-70]]''. Ed. [[Jacques-Alain Miller]]. [[Paris]]: Seuil, 1991: 134</ref> and takes it up again in his [[seminar]] of 1972-3.<ref>{{S20}} p. 17</ref>
This formula is usually translated into [[English]] as "There is no such [Lacan[thing]] first proposes his famous formula: ''il n'y as a pas de rapport sexuel'' in 1970,<ref>{{L}} ''[[Seminar XVII|Le Séminaire. Livre XVII. L'envers de la psychanalyse, 1969-70sexual]]''. Ed. [[Jacques-Alain Millerrelationship]]. Paris: Seuil", 1991: 134</ref> and takes it up again in his which is misleading since [[Lacan]] is certainly not denying that [[seminarpeople]] of 1972-3.<ref>{{S20}} p. 17</ref> have sex!
===Sexual Difference===The formula might be better rendered "There is no relation between the sexes", thus emphasizing that it is not primarily the condenses a [[actnumber]] of '''sexual intercourse''' that points in [[Lacan]] is referring 's approach to but the question of the relation between the masculine [[sexual position and the feminine sexual position. difference]]:
There is thus no [[symbol]] for a symmetrical [[sexual relationship]]: "the sexual relationship cannot be written."<ref>{{S20}} p. 35</ref>
[[Love]] is no more than an [[illusion]] designed to make up for the [[absence]] of harmonious relations between the [[sex]]es (whether presented in [[mythical]] [[terms]], as in [[Plato]]'s [[Symposium]], or in [[psychoanalytic]] terms, as in [[Balint]]'s [[concept]] of [[love|genital love]]).
====Drives====4. The [[drive|sexual drives]] are directed not towards a "[[whole ]] person" but towards [[part-object]]s.
There is therefore no such thing as a [[sexual relationship]] between two [[subject]]s, only between a [[subject]] and a ([[partial]]) object.
For the man, the [[objet (petit) a|object a]] occupies the [[place ]] of the [[missing ]] partner, which produces the [[matheme]] of [[fantasy]] (SOa); in other [[words]], the [[Woman]] does not [[exist]] for the man as a [[real]] [[subject]], but only as a [[fantasy]] [[object]], the [[cause]] of his [[desire]].<ref>{{S20}} p. 58</ref>
====Woman and Mother====
5. [[Woman]] cannot function sexually qua [[Woman]] but only qua [[mother]]; "[[Woman]] begins to function in the sexual relationship only as mother."<ref>{{S20}} p. 36</ref>
