More about the book
Exploring the complexities of sexual relations between men and women, the book delves into the interplay of reality and semblance. It challenges conventional views by asserting that men are bound by the semblance of the phallus, while women experience a more elusive jouissance. The author employs a logical framework to dissect these dynamics, moving beyond Freudian myths and integrating insights from various philosophers. Ultimately, the work aims to clarify Lacan's provocative assertion that "There's no such thing as a sexual relationship."
