Reddit reviews The Lacanian Subject

There's a disconnect between what women SAY they like, and what actually gets the panties wet. This is backed up by clinicians and theoreticians (even the feminists). See references:

Despite all these factors you say, maybe it's something small that actually turns you on. Say, the impertinent, unblinking way a certain guy looks at other girls.

Everything else comes into play when you're selecting a long-term mate, but I'm just talking about that visceral attraction.

You should know some Freud. Seminar XI is not that hard compared to other seminars, but it is Lacan we are talking about, so it is never that simple.

I would just start reading it, and maybe read Bruce Fink's The Lacanian Subject. You might also want to read Reading Seminar XI.

I wasn't very impressed by that podcast on Lacan. They spent a lot of time discussing things they clearly didn't understand. (Their conversation on the drives was particularly hard to listen to.) I don't mean that as an insult to them--they're obviously not trained Lacanians--but simply that I think one would be better served to, without a proper cartel, read something like Fink's Lacanian Subject.
