Abstract

Feminine sexuality is enigmatic, which raises many reflections on
femininity. The discovery that sex is not a natural phenomenon, but the
result of phallic subjectivity, is an extremely significant milestone for female
sexuality. According to Freud, the devastation would be related to the fate
of phallus for a girl. Freud notes that some women remain fixed in the
original attachment to their mothers, and never achieve a real change in the
relationship with men. Lacan goes beyond the phallic articulation, realizing
that the phallus does not saturate the jouissance field in feminine sexuality.
What is at stake is the feminine jouissance, which is not totally submitted
to the phallic function. The term devastation arises as a consequence of
the absence of a significant that defines a woman and It appears in three different moments in Lacanian theory: in the relationship with the mother,
in the relationship with the mother’s desire and in love partnerships.
