There is a Zizek clip where he (ironically?) proposes that instead of fulfilling the societal expectation of having sex, couples should use a pair of toys that do that work for them and enjoy some other more intellectual pursuit like having discussions over coffee or smth like that
(I probably got the details wrong, it's been a while since I've seen it)
He doesn't say intellectual pursuits, but more that people are free to actually be themselves, and then, later, maybe even have sex on their own terms
It's basically a commentary on societal expectations in social structures such as dating, by following the concepts such as using toys to have a "successful" date to its logical extreme
There was a tweet like that which was mich more funnily worded.
edit: Here it is:
Ah one that doesn't start with making fun of his tics and mannerisms is actually funny
Honestly. Very accurate to his writing. Its less uncertain than the other.
Disappointing fake, the real Zizek would have said "Chienche".
..And so on, and so forth...
Toilets
I don't get the reference here...

I actually saw Slavoj live one time and had to sit through him repeating this information at the end of a lecture 😭
But that's kinda part of the Zizek experience, no?
True, tho I didn’t know him from social media I was just attending a philosophy lecture so was caught off guard 😂
Ngl having Zizek reading you a lecture sounds cool

At least this is how I understand it
That is slavoj zizek. He does a lot of sniffing while he talks. It's pretty notable.
