SAVINAUD CLAUDE: THE EXHIBITIONIST’S DE-MONSTRATION

» A perversion couldn’t exist separately from its disjunction with sexual intercourse. Using a case of peeping-exhibitionism, we will study this dad-version « as making up for a supposed disharmony in the relation between sexes, through the production of a sign, phallus, which presents the Subject through the opposite sex’s gaze. In accordance with an inhibition to enact the separation from the maternal object, it shows that this sexless version of coïtus depends on failure of the real father to intervene in the symbolic castration complex.»
