perversion

... involves the attempt to prop up the law so that limits can be set to jouissance (to what Lacan calls "the will to jouissance")

... struggles to bring the law into being --- in a word, to make the Other exist.

In other words, in the beginning, the world of the pervert is a lawless one. 

Well, sounds like that wonderful Pleistocene, doesn't it?

... as Lacan says, objet has something inherently fetishistic about it.
