Lacan argues that subjectivity is constituted through a void in the symbolic structure, a fundamental lack. Put more simply: We all have holes that we're trying to fill. For generations, women and some men have filled their holes with dildos. Considering that 23 percent of adults have used sex toys, you would think the government inspects them before they go to market; however, most sex toy companies label adult products as "novelty items," which means federal regulators rarely examine dildos before people put them in their hoo-has.
