If the neurotic patient appeals to denial as a veiled form of unconscious speech, the perverted patient resorts to disavowal, which enables them to use a blunt erotic lexicon. This bluntness characterizes their speech, which turns out to be a tactile substance. This tactile dimension suppresses any distance, thus destroying the very foundation of speech. The perverted patient’s speech bears witness to the exclusion of the father as a separating principle, for the benefit of the “glorious oral mother.” Some authors have highlighted how perverted patients can talk reasonably about excess and about the “folly of desire”; yet it should also be stated that the whole logic of their discourse is about the failure of what holds up language structure, namely the prohibition of incest. Sexuality is therefore banished, since it implies castration as the negativity which underpins and founds any act of speech.
