Tease and Denial
Sometimes called "Arouse and Deny" or "Orgasm Denial". This is the process of
bringing a male to a state of extreme sexual arousal and then preventing or
disallowing his orgasm. Fetishes can be useful to help build his state of
arousal. The tease and deny premise underpins the contents of this website. All
of a male's most productive training takes place after he has been subjected to
this process for an extended period of time. During the process it is often
effective to let the male believe that he might be allowed to reach orgasm.
Working on this premise, he will be more involved in the process, more eager and
ultimately more aroused. The denial process can be overt, such as simply pushing
him away right before he ejaculates, or subtle, such as arranging for friends to
come over at a certain time thus forcing an interruption.

Viagra® a new drug from Pfizer, Inc., has been approved as treatment for male
sexual dysfunction.
Vibrator. A penis-shaped battery-powered device designed to stimulate the vulva,
clitoris, and vagina during foreplay. There is a theory that for some couples,
excessive and extended use of a vibrator may make it increasingly difficult for
a wife to respond to her husband during non-mechanical foreplay and sexual
intercourse. May be useful during impotence. You can buy one on the Internet;
just enter dildo or vibrator into any search engine. One with a vibrator should
cost about $30 US.] Warning:you may get into some very unsavory sites. Just buy
what you are looking for and get out! See dildo.
Virgin. A woman or man who has never had sexual intercourse.
Vulva. The wife's primary external sex organ. The vulva includes two sets of

(from front to back) the clitoris, the urethra (for excreting urine, and the
vagina. The outer lips are covered with pubic hair.
Vasectomy. A simple operation on the husband in the doctor's office which acts
as a relatively permanent form of birth control. In a vasectomy, the tubes which
lead from the testicles to the penis are cut by making small incisions in the
scrotum. Because of this operation, the sperm which the testicles create cannot
be mixed with the semen during ejaculation. There is no physical reason why the
husband cannot continue to have a normal erection during foreplay and cannot
enjoy sexual intercourse. The best time for a vasectomy is while the wife is
pregnant with the last child. This will give the husband's body time to cleanse
itself of all sperm before the first ejaculation during sexual intercourse after
the baby is born.
Withdrawal. A means of birth control which calls for the husband to pull his
penis out of his wife's vagina before sexual intercourse reaches the point of
his ejaculation. This is considered to be an unreliable means of birth control.
Some drops of semen may ooze from the penis before the first spasm of an
ejaculation, or the first spasm may come with insufficient warning to permit
complete withdrawal before some semen enters the vagina. If semen is ejaculated
at the mouth of the vagina, some sperm may swim upstream and unite with an ovum.
It only takes one of each to cause a pregnancy.

flag; pink for sexuality, red for light, orange for healing, yellow for the sun,
green for natural serenity, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet
for spirit. In 1979, the flag was modified to its current six-stripe format
(pink was omitted, blue was substituted for turquoise and indigo, and violet
became a rich purple). Signifying the diversity and unity of the lesbian and gay
movement.
Ring On Pinky: Wearing a ring on the little finger of the left hand has for much
of the twentieth century been a code for homosexuality.
Sexual Orientation: Sexual identification, depending on a person's sexual
relationships or affinity.
Significant Other: One's chosen romantic partner.
Smash: A young woman's crush on another woman. The term was used in late
nineteenth century and early twentieth century women's colleges.

expression.

reassignment surgery.

expression of the opposite sex.

Penis Terms
corona: The 'crown,' a ridge of flesh demarcating where the head of the penis
and the shaft join.
corpa cavernosa: The corpora cavernosa are the two spongy bodies of erectile
tissue on either side of the penis which become engorged with blood from
arteries in the penis, thus causing erection.
cowper's glands: The Cowper's glands secrete a small amount of pre-ejaculate
fluid prior to orgasm. This fluid neutralizes the acidity within the urethra
itself.
ejaculatory ducts: The path through the seminal glands which semen travels
during ejaculation.
epididymis: The epididymis is a 'holding pen' where sperm produced by
the seminiferous tubules mature. The sperm wait here until ejaculation or
nocturnal emission.
foreskin, prepuce: A roll of skin which covers the head of the penis in
uncircumsized men.
frenulum, frenum: A thin strip of flesh on the underside of the penis that
connects the shaft to the head.
glans: The glans is clearly visible in illustration (A) as the head of the
penis. The glans in uncircumcised men is usually covered by the prepuce. The
glans is highly sensitive, as is the corona, the ridge of flesh that connects
the glans to the shaft of the penis.
prostate gland: Also produces a fluid that makes up the semen. The prostate
gland also squeezes shut the urethral duct to the bladder, thus preventing urine
from mixing with the semen and disturbing the pH balance required by sperm.
scrotum: The scrotum is a sac that hangs behind and below the penis, and
containts the testes, the male sexual glands. The scrotum's primary function is
to maintain the testes at approximately 34 C, the temperature at which the
testes most effectively produce sperm.
seminal vesicles: The seminal vesicles produce semen, a fluid that activates
and protects the sperm after it has left the penis during ejaculation
smemga: A substance with the texture of cheese secreted by glands on each side
of the frenulum in uncircumsized men.
testes, testicles: The male sexual glands, the two testes within the scrotum
produce sperm and testosterone. Within each testis is a kilometre of ducts
called the seminiferous tubules, the organs which generate sperm. Each testicle
produces nearly 150 million sperm every 24 hours.
urethra, meatus: The opening at the tip of the penis to allow the passage of
both urine and semen.
vas deferens: The ducts leading from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles.
These are the ducts that are cut during the procedure known as vasectomy.

Politics and Sexual Definitions
bisexual: Possessing characteristics of both sexes :
hermaphroditic: sexually oriented toward both sexes or of
relating to performing sexual acts with a person of either sex – with no
preference for either sex – for purposes of sexual gratification; a bisexual
individual
bisexualism: An ideology that holds that bisexuality is a
permissible and desirable portion of a wide range of different types and equally
valid expressions of human sexuality; a belief system that advances special
rights for bisexuals
bisexualist: Someone who promotes or advocates
bisexualism
bisexuality: Sexual attraction directed toward persons of
both sexes; predilection to perform erotic acts or obtain sexual gratification
with persons of both sexes
cross-gendered: Being inclined to adopt or exhibit
behavioural characteristics of the opposite sex and to lack clear identification
with one's own sex
gay (HOMOSEXUAL) gender: Primarily a subclass within a
grammatical class of terms in a language; however, of great importance in the
politics of sex as a euphemism for sexual orientation, intended to obscure and
to obfuscate the biological and cultural classification of humans into two sexes
– male and female – so as to promote the view that the bipolarity of sexual
concepts that grew out of biological reality are social constructs and not a
consequence of human evolution
gender activism: A movement for social reform that
promotes the legalization of any imaginable sexual orientation, with the main
objective being to construct social acceptability of a wide range of sexual
orientations and to effect the abrogation of the heterosexual family as the
social norm for humanity
gender bias: A system of systematic discrimination
against and oppression of women – so the gender-feminists assert
gendercide: The deliberate extermination or reduction in
number of some or all individuals of one sex because of their sex
gendered: Reflecting the attitudes, experiences and views
of one sex more than the other
gender equity: Also called gender equality or gender
balance, a massive program of social re-engineering, by which affirmative-action
hiring, wage equality, lowering of hiring standards, pro-female judicial bias
and legislation are used to eradicate "gender" differences that radical
feminists assert have plagued women throughout the ages. Any discriminatory
consequences to boys and men are lightly dismissed through assertions that
today's men have to pay for the sins of their fathers. So it is that feminist
insist that they can demand that women will be permitted to perform
traditionally male jobs if they so desire, but that only men are compelled to
perform them as a matter of course. Thereby men are being marginalized and still
suffer the traditional ratio of job injuries and fatalities of 19 men for ever
woman. In consequence men and women are now not more equal, but the gap in life
expectancy between the sexes is widening to six year and more, while women
receive higher wages for jobs of lesser risk.
gender-feminism: Short for "Sex/Gender Feminism,"
according to Christina Hoff Sommers, it is the doctrine that women are "in
thrall to 'a system of male dominance' variously referred to as
'heteropatriarchy' or the sex/gender system."
gender violence: The assertion by gender-feminists –
contrary to all common sense and available evidence – that violence is endemic
in intimate relationships between the sexes, that all such violence is being
initiated by men as part of the systematic oppression of women, and that in the
allegedly rare occasions when women initiate or perpetrate violence against men
such violence is invariably motivated by self-defence on the part of women
gender war: Formerly called the battle of the sexes, when
it was not so much a battle as it was all-pervasive and systematic griping by
feminists against alleged discrimination by men against women. It has, however,
increasingly become known as the gender war and ever since then escalated into
an all-out program of psychological and economic warfare against men and boys,
with deadly consequences. Suicide rates steadily escalated, especially for men
and boys, ever since the feminists became a controlling political force
heterophobe: An individual who is characterized by
heterophobia
heterophobia: Irrational fear of, aversion to, or
discrimination against heterosexuality or heterosexuals — heterophobic adj.
heterosexual: Sexually oriented toward or of relating to
performing sexual acts with a person of the opposite sex for purposes of sexual
gratification and procreation; a heterosexual individual
heterosexualism: An ideology that holds that
heterosexuality is the only viable and valid expression of human sexuality

homosexual Being sexually attracted toward or of relating
to performing sexual acts with a person of the same sex; a homosexual person

is a permissible and desirable portion of a wide range of different types and
equally valid expressions of human sexuality; a belief system that advances
special rights for homosexuals, such as the right to perform homosexual acts in
public view
homosexualist: Someone who promotes or advocates
homosexualism
homosexuality: Sexual attraction directed toward a person
of the same sex; erotic acts or sexual gratification with a person of the same
sex

achieve orgasm

misandry hatred of men – something that feminists will
never under any circumstances admit to being engaged in or even dream of being
possible
misogyny: Hatred of women – something that feminists will
accuse anyone of promoting if they should in any way be critical of even the
slightest portion of the feminist program of re-engineering society to bring
about the planned destruction of our families
patriarch: One who governs his family by paternal right
patriarchy: A community of related families under the
authority of a patriarch
Note: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the authors of the
Communist Manifesto (1848/49), applied the term to mean societies or
civilizations comprised of traditional nuclear families, families in which
fathers are the breadwinners and figurative heads. They held that a new and
better socialist society cannot be constructed unless the concept of the
traditional nuclear family is deconstructed and traditional families are
abrogated. Marx and Engels promoted that the productivity of all nations can be
almost doubled if women are freed from the bonds of their families and the
chores of child raising, with women then being free to be incorporated into the
work force. They called for the sexual needs of men and women to be satisfied
through the concept of "free love" (today it is called sexual freedom), outside
of the bounds of traditional marriage or at most in marriages that can be
dissolved at will without assigning fault to one or the other partner. Thereby
they also thought that the social stigma of illegitimate children would fall by
the way-side (every child a wanted child). Children were to be raised in
state-funded and -operated nurseries and day-care facilities.
Many factions of the women's liberation movement
wholeheartedly adopted Marx's and Engels' ideology, most of all radical feminism
(a.k.a. Marxist-, Leninist-, or socialist-feminism), into which, beginning in
the 1940s, communism increasingly transformed itself. Radical feminism has since
become the dominant political force in all western nations and at the UN.
pederast: One who practices pederasty
pederasty: The practice to engage in anal sex with males,
esp. with boys
pedophilia: The sexual molestation by adults of children
or sexual intercourse by adults with children
pedophile: An adult who engages in pedophilia
rape: Sexual intercourse with an individual without his
or her consent
Note: Allegations of rape and and physical abuse are a
primary weapon in the feminist arsenal. In a study done by the FBI it was found
that about 30 percent of men serving time for rape with aggravated assault could
not possibly have committed the crime of which they had been convicted, because
their DNA didn't match that of the semen found on their alleged victims.
Because such allegations are so extremely effective in
bringing a man down, they acquired the nickname "the silver bullet."
sex: The distinction between male and female; the
characteristics by which humans, animal or plants are male or female; gender:
the female sex, women generally, usually with the definite article
sex object: One who is regarded exclusively as an object
of sexual interest
sexologist: One who studies sex or the interactions of
the sexes
sexual: Pertaining to sex; distinguished or founded on
the sex
sexual harassment: Uninvited and unwelcome conduct
directed at anyone because of his or her sex
Note: False allegations of sexual harassment are one of
the most potent weapons in the feminist arsenal used in the gender war. It is a
weapon that men neither use nor hardly ever can avail themselves of. The
feminist dominated courts hold that women don't rape, kill, molest, abuse or
harass. Women are considered to be innocent under all and any circumstances. The
insidious nature of allegations of sexual harassment is that no absolute and
objective standards exist by which it can be determined whether sexual
harassment occurred, or by which one can measure its degree of severity. Usually
a woman's allegations of sexual harassment, even if uncorroborated by any
evidence or witnesses, are taken at face value, unless the accused man can prove
that he was elsewhere and not in the presence of the accusing woman at the time
he was to have been engaged in harassing her. Even that is often ruled out as
admissible evidence and the accuser's word made superior to that of any
witnesses a man may be able to produce.
Furthermore, what may be a man's nightingale can easily
be perceived, or claimed to be, the woman's owl or nightmare. It matters little
whether the perceived harassment is a figment of her imagination or a product of
her maliciousness.
What aggravates the aspects of sexual harassment
allegations is that in many localities it is a criminal offence to sexually
harass. In Canada is has been assigned to the same criminal category as rape, to
the category of sexual assault.
Therefore "rape statistics" in Canada now encompass
criminal convictions for offences that range from uncorroborated charges of
leering at a woman in a public swimming pool to rape with aggravated assault and
murder. That had a fine effect. It raised statistics for incidents of "rape" to
dizzying heights.
sexuality: State or quality of being sexual
sexualize: To distinguish as sexed, to raise sexual
awareness, to make sexual
sexual orientation: According to the traditional
perspective, one of two possible self-images an individual may have of himself
(normally correlating to one's own sex); and according to more liberal views,
one of a multitude of sexual preferences one may adopt during his life time,
preferences that are not the outcome of one's biological constraints but rather
of one's preference with respect to how to obtain sexual excitation and
gratification (e. g.: fetishism, homosexuality, pedophilia, sodomy, coprophilia,
pederasty, sado-masochism, transsexualism, etc.); syn. see GENDER
sodomist SODOMITE
sodomite: One who practices sodomy — sodomitic or
sodomitical adj.
sodomy: Unnatural non-coital (anal, oral or manual)
copulation with a member of the same or opposite sex or with an animal
statutory rape: Sexual intercourse with a person who is
unable to give meaningful consent Note: Pederasty and other sodomitic sexual
acts by adults with children are criminal acts, in fact, they are statutory
rape, because children are unable to give meaningful consent. For that reason
some homosexualists are engaged in bringing about legislation that lowers the
age of sexual consent for children. In some countries the age of sexual consent
for children engaged in homosexual acts has been lowered already to the age of
12. Apparently it is thought that if laws lowering the age of sexual consent are
enacted that the maturity of children that enables them to give meaningful
consent is thereby miraculously brought about. One thing is certain, though, the
criminalization of sexual acts with children is thereby much reduced and perhaps
eventually completely eliminated by declaring children of all ages sufficiently
mature to engage in anything the lobbyists want them to engage in.
Homosexual activists generally deny that that is their
intention. However, it is very rare that any of their members object to what is
being done with respect to lowering the age of consent for children, and those
who do object are quickly silenced by various means.
What remains to be seen is any other logical explanation
for lowering the age of consent for children who are being engaged in homosexual
acts. It is very puzzling that the play by Eve Ensler, "The Vagina
Monologues,"(critiqued by Henry Makow, PhD.) the latest major "cultural export"
from the US, contains a very graphic glorification of statutory rape of a
12-year-old girl by a lesbian woman. What is even more curious is that many
celebrities who are avowed opponents of child-sexual-abuse and even advertise
their "survivor" status (e.g.: Oprah Winfrey) highly praised Eve Ensler's play.
So, what are we to make of that? Is statutory rape by women not a criminal act
in the eyes of women who are 'survivors' of child sexual abuse? Apparently not.
transgendered: TRANSSEXUAL
transsexual: Gender identity confusion caused by the
psychological urge to belong to the opposite sex, often carried to the extreme
of undergoing surgical alteration and removal of sex organs, so as to be able to
perfectly and completely mimic the opposite sex; an individual who craves to be
of the opposite sex. Gender activists don't like to use the term transsexual (or
any word with the root 'sex'). They therefore substitute the word that they wish
to become the politically correct form, "transgendered.")
transsexualism: An ideology that holds that
transsexuality is a permissible and desirable portion of a wide range of
different types and equally valid expressions of human sexuality; a belief
system that advocates special rights for transsexuals, to the extent that they
demand that sex re-assignment surgery shall be publicly funded so as to permit
transsexuals to submerge themselves totally and physically in their
psychological fixation
transsexualist: Someone who promotes or advocates
transsexualism
transsexuality: Sexual attraction directed toward playing
or mimicking the role of a person of the opposite sex; erotic acts for the
purpose of gaining sexual excitement or gratification while pretending to be a
person of the opposite sex
