Men still have everything to say about their sexuality, and everything to write. For what they have said so far, for the most part, stems from the opposition activity/passivity, from the power relation between a fantasized obligatory virility meantto invade, to colonize, and the consequential phantasm of woman as a __arkcontinent_ to penetrate and to __acify._ (We know what __acify_ means in terms ofscotomizing the other and misrecognizing the self.) Conquering her, they__e madehaste to depart from her borders, to get out of sight, out of body. The way man hasof getting out of himself and into her whom he takes not for the other but for hisown, deprives him, he knows, of his own bodily territory. One can understandhow man, confusing himself with his penis and rushing in for the attack, mightfeel resentment and fear of being __aken_ by the woman, of being lost in her,absorbed, or alone.
