“Numerous questions, concerns, and debates surround the dildo and whether it FITS in lesbian sex. Is it a penis substitute? Is is a male stand-in? Is it a phallus? Is it a fetish? Can it feel? Does it feel good to her? Is it erotic? Can it be castrated? Should I castrate it? Am I castrated? Do I have penis envy? Do I have phallus envy? Do I have a fetish? Do I want to be a man? Is this the only way to have active sex? Is it perverted? Am I a pervert? Do I look stupid wearing it? Should I read more Lacanian theory? Should I read a feminist’s interpretation of Lacan? Should I castrate Lacan? Am I experience a form of castration just by reading Lacan? Should I be wearing the dildo while I read Lacan?” Heather Butler. “What Do You Call a Lesbian with Long Fingers? The Development of Lesbian and Dyke Pornography.” From Porn Studies. Ed. Linda Williams. Duke University Press, 2004.
