The Anxiety of the Masochist

The masochist gets off on the very same thing the sadist does in this sense. Not the jui saus of the big other. That's the fantasy. On the way, the other squirms. They are getting off on seeing your pronouncement of opinion and argument coupled with your jouissance. In a fit that Lacan would here describe as anxious, an explosion of acute anxiety. The masochist wants to evoke the law from you.
