In discussing these generous and generative commentaries, I note points of agreement and divergence with an eye toward clarifying my positions on perversity. As such, I explore the implications of my interlocutors’ formidably concise articulations (González: perversion permits “the materialization of intergenerational too-muchness” [this issue, p. 282] and Dean: psychoanalysis is like “getting royally fucked by a dubious stranger” [this issue, p. 274]). Productively pressed by their queries, I refine the difference between sexuality and perversion and, drawing on Deleuze (1971), I flesh out important distinctions between sadism and the masochistic contract.
