“What I call jouissance – in the sense in which the body experiences itself – is always in the nature of tension, in the nature of a forcing, of a spending, even of an exploit. Unquestionably, there is jouissance at the level at which pain begins to appear, and we know that ...

“It is in so far as she wants my jouissance, that is, to enjoy me, that woman generates anxiety in me. This is for the very simple reason, which for a long time now has been part of our theory, that no desire can be fulfilled without entailing castration. To the extent that ...

“On the basis of Lacan’s formulation of paranoia as the localisation of jouissance in the place of the Other, we can consider paranoia to be a treatment of jouissance that seeks to clear an inhabitable space for the subject by situating an unmanageable jouissance in an ...

“It is from feminine sexuality and from nowhere else that we can situate jouissance, properly speaking, insofar as it exceeds the phallus, and the all-signifier.”

“You are all going to be convinced I believe in God. I believe in the jouissance of woman, insofar as it is extra, as long as you put a screen in front of this ‘extra’ until I have been able to properly explain it.”

Jacques Lacan, Encore, Seminar XX, On Feminine Sexuality

“We are now dealing with Ones-all-alone, speaking subjects who wish to self-identify according to a certainty which they judge to be intimate. But to do so, they resort to categories of the modern master’s discourse.”

Marie-Hélène Brousse, The Feminine: A Mode of Jouissance

“Female sexuality appears as the effort of a jouissance enveloped in its own contiguity in order to be realised in competition with the desire that castration liberates in the male.”

Jacques Lacan, Guiding Remarks for a Convention on Female Sexuality, Art by Erhard Löblein

“We must start with Lacan’s contribution:

There is language and it is structured. It acts as a brake on jouissance. It is used for speaking, communicating and constructing our fictions. Then there is lalangue, that is, the material consisting of sounds, phonemes and words ...

There is no such thing
as a sexual relationship
because one’s jouissance
of the Other, taken as a body,
is always inadequate – perverse,
on the one hand, insofar as
the Other is reduced to
object a, and crazy
and enigmatic
on the other.

Jacques Lacan, Encore, Seminar XX

What hysterics
ultimately want
one to know
is that language
runs off the rails
concerning the
magnitude of
what she,
as woman,
is capable
of revealing,
concerning
jouissance.
Jacques Lacan
Seminar XVII

“It is structurally impossible to say the truth about jouissance, to negate jouissance by means of the symbolic. Jouissance, therefore, unfailingly returns on the subject in a ferocious fashion, causing all manner of suffering in the process. It is the effect of the return of ...

You are all going
to be convinced
I believe in God;
I believe in the
jouissance
of woman

“All of the jouissances are but rivals of the finality that would be constituted if jouissance had the slightest relationship with the sexual relationship."

“I have already said enough to you for you to know that jouissance is the jar of the Danaides, and that once you have started, you never know where it will end. It begins with a tickle and ends with a blaze of petrol. That’s always what jouissance is.”

Jacques Lacan
