Para 20 : What is this libido: the libido of preservation, or sexual libido? Of course, it is the latter in itself; it is even the latter that involves ‘destrudo’, but it is precisely because it became involved in this dialectic of substitution of satisfaction in the face of the demand of love, that it is an eroticised activity in the first place: libido in the strict sense, a sexual libido. : See Todestrieb und Masochismus : 8th June 1935 (Vienna) : Eduardo Weiss or here http://www.lacanianworks.net/?p=12900

NOTE : From Adrian Price’s Translator’s Note on “XII On the Oedipus Complex”, p438 of Jacques Lacan - The Object Relation - The Seminar of Jacques Lacan|Book IV, edited by Jacques-Alain Miller, Polity Press (2020), the dates given to two sessions have been swopped. This session given on 6th March is published as if given on 13th March & the session given on 13th March is published as the 6th March. The same swop has been made in Jacques Lacan - Le Séminaire livre IV - La relation d’objet edited by Jacques-Alain Miller, du Seuil (Mars 1994). The page number which refer to the French text jump from p198 at the end of 25th February 1957 to p215 at the beginning of this session.
