der

Never had I experienced such an immense slow orgasm – its ripples ran like the tributaries of the Nile throughout the whole nervous system.

1982, Lawrence Durrell, Constance, Penguin 2004 (Avignon Quintet), page 668

There does not have to be romance involved with sexual pleasure: some of us just like orgasms for the hell of it.

2007 September 12, Zoe Margolis, The Guardian:

If you want to get an orgasm, I recommend buying a vibrator.

A rush of sexual excitement; now specifically, the climax or peak of sexual pleasure, which occurs during sexual activity and which in males may include ejaculation and in females vaginal contractions.

ejaculate (third-person singular simple present ejaculates, present participle ejaculating, simple past and past participle ejaculated)

ejaculates (present singular third-person)
ejaculating (participle present)
ejaculated (participle past)
ejaculated (past)

Borrowed from Latin ēiaculātus, perfect passive participle of ēiaculor (“hurl, shoot out”), from ē (“out”) + iaculor (“throw, dart”), from iaculum (“a missile, a dart”), from iaciō (“to throw, to hurl”).

The mighty Magnet from the Center darts / This ſtrong, tho' ſubtile Force, thro' all the Parts: / Its active Rays ejaculated thence, / Irradiate all the wide Circumference.

1712, Richard Blackmore, Creation: A Philosophical Poem. Demonstrating the Existence and Providence of a God. In Seven Books, book I, London: Printed for S. Buckley, at the Dolphin in Little-Britain; and J[acob] Tonson, at Shakespear's Head over-against Catherine-Street in the Strand, OCLC 731619916; 5th edition, Dublin: Printed by S. Powell, for G. Risk, G. Ewing, and W. Smith, in Dame's-street, 1727, OCLC 728300884, page 7

(transitive) To eject abruptly; to throw out suddenly and swiftly.

The spermatophores begin to ejaculate immediately after leaving the penis and the whole process is completed in a very few seconds. Pulling the filament attached to the ejaculatory end of a spermatophore is all that is needed to start its ejaculation.

1910 June 20, Gilman A. Drew, “Sexual Activities of the Squid, Loligo pealii (Les.). I. Copulation, Egg-laying and Fertilization”, in Journal of Morphology, volume 22, number 2, Philadelphia, Pa.: Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology, published 1911, page 334:

(biology, transitive) To eject or suddenly throw fluid or some other substance from a duct or other body structure.

Men can ejaculate between 0.1 and 10 milliliters of semen on average. (transitive)

With a groan, he ejaculated on his abdomen. (intransitive)

[I]n controlled studies some men have been observed to ejaculate but not have orgasm or have orgasm but are unable to ejaculate.

1994, Vern L. Bullough with Bonnie Bullough, Human Sexuality: An Encyclopedia [Garland Reference Library of Social Science; 685], New York, N.Y., London: Garland Publishing, →ISBN, page 180:

The knowledge that some women ejaculate at the moment of orgasm was, like many other important aspects of sexuality, buried by Puritanism and patriarchy.

2003, Deborah Sundahl, “Foreword”, in Female Ejaculation and the G-spot, Alameda, Calif.: Hunter House Publishers, →ISBN, page ix:

However, it would be highly useful if the ejaculated spermatozoa could be successfully cryopreserved and the frozen-thawed spermatozoa used for in vitro fertilization, since this would allow the genetically valuable rats to be maintained alive rather than sacrificed.

2012, Q. Ashton Acton, editor, Germ Cells – Advances in Research and Application, Atlanta, Ga.: ScholarlyEditions, →ISBN, page 38:

Bulls, rams and boars have the biggest testes among the larger domestic animals, so they would be expected to produce and ejaculate more sperms than others with smaller testes.

2012, Tim Glover, Mating Males: An Evolutionary Perspective on Mammalian Reproduction, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 78:

Rather, these men prefer an erotic exhibition – an uninhibited display of ejaculating semen onto themselves or someone else.

2012, Trudy Rudge, Dave Holmes, editors, Abjectly Boundless: Boundaries, Bodies and Health Work, Farnham, Surrey, Burlington, Vt.: Ashgate Publishing, →ISBN, pages 90–91:

(specifically, transitive and intransitive) Of a human being or other mammal: to forcibly eject from the urethra in response to sexual stimulation, in a male, semen; and, in a female, vaginal fluid.


ejaculate

en-noun

ejaculate (countable and uncountable, plural ejaculates)

If semen from two ejaculates obtained from one bull is mixed, and the conception rate for the mixed sample is compared with that obtained by the use of the two ejaculates independently, any tendency for the mixed sample's conception rate to be closer to that of either of the two individual ejaculates could be used as a sensitive measure of the relationship between the semen characteristics of the two ejaculates and conception rate.

1971 August, K. L. Macmillan with J. D. Watson, “The Effect on Conception Rate of Mixing Semen from First and Second Ejaculates”, in New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, volume 14, number 3, Wellington: Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, page 703:

The ejaculate usually spurts out as the prostate gland and surrounding muscles, as well as those at the base of the penis, contract at orgasm. In young males, the force of the spurt can be strong enough for the ejaculate to hit the upper chest; in older males, it may roll out or go an inch or two up the abdomen.

1994, Vern L. Bullough with Bonnie Bullough, Human Sexuality: An Encyclopedia [Garland Reference Library of Social Science; 685], New York, N.Y., London: Garland Publishing, →ISBN, page 181:

Female ejaculate is a clear liquid. Its consistency is akin to that of very light lubricant, but it is watery rather than slick. […] [B]oth women's and men's ejaculate is prostatic fluid (that is, both are created by the prostate).

2003, Deborah Sundahl, Female Ejaculation and the G-spot, Alameda, Calif.: Hunter House Publishers, →ISBN, page 34:

A smaller mammal such as a dog has a sperm concentration of 300 000 000 per millilitre in an ejaculate of 8 ml in volume. Thus, each ejaculate will contain only 2 400 000 000 (24 × 10⁸).

2012, Tim Glover, Mating Males: An Evolutionary Perspective on Mammalian Reproduction, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 79:

Ejaculates are costly to produce for human males. Frequent ejaculation, especially more frequent than every other day, results in decreased sperm counts […], suggesting limits to sperm production. Men hardly seem limited by sperm production, however, given the apparent wastage of sperm. Sperm are continuously lost in the urine, and entire ejaculates are lost during nocturnal emissions and masturbation, although masturbatory ejaculates contain fewer sperm than do copulatory ejaculates […].

2016, Todd K. Shackelford et al., “Human Sperm Competition”, in David M. Buss, editor, The Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology. Volume 2. Application, 2nd edition, volume II, Hoboken, N.J.: John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 431:

Fluid or some other substance ejected or suddenly thrown from a duct or other body structure; specifically, semen or vaginal fluid ejected by a human being or other mammal during an ejaculation.


spud

From Middle English spudde (“small knife”). Origin unknown; probably related to Danish spyd, Old Norse spjót (“spear”), German Spieß (“spear; spike; skewer”).

cunnilingus

en-noun

cunnilingus (usually uncountable, plural cunnilinguses)

/ˌkʌn.ɪˈlɪŋ.ɡəs/

From Latin cunnilingus (literally “cuntlicker”). The meaning shift, not yet complete in the early twentieth century, perhaps derives from figurative uses where the name for a person stands for the name of a practice.

bor

The stinking breath, hoarse voice, and snoring respiration of the cunnilingus, fellator and fellatrix, the effeminate, piping tone of the cinædus and irrumator, which excited the special scorn of the early satirical writers, were doubtless the expression of a catarrhal pharyngolaryngitis acquired in the discharge of their filthy practices.

1887, John Noland Mackenzie, “Carcinoma of Larynx”, in edited by Albert H. Buck, A Reference handbook of the medical sciences, embracing the entire range of scientific and practical medicine and allied science, volume 4, New York: William Wood & Company, page 402a:

(chiefly dated, rare) Someone who performs oral sex on the vulva.


cunnilingus

From Latin cunnus and lingō (“to lick”).

Le cunnilingus est une pratique sexuelle orale qui consiste à stimuler les différentes parties des organes génitaux féminins à l’aide de la langue, des lèvres ou du nez.

Cunnilingus is an oral sex act that consists of stimulating different parts of the female genitalia with the help of the tongue, lips or the nose.

LESBIAN ICONS AND REAL LESBIAN ICONS
If Madonna is the first among equals, the major female icon of the moment, she now has competition for dykon status in k. d. lang, who to many lesbians represents their very own 'real life' lesbian hera.

1994, Diane Hamer, Belinda Budge, The Good, the Bad and the Gorgeous, page 36:

[…] Singer-songwriter Hawkins has become a '90s dykon, due to her free-spirited sensuality […]

1998, Raymond Murray, Images in the Dark: An Encyclopedia of Gay and Lesbian Film, page 599:

Deneuve was more articulate when she said of her own dykon status, "The Hunger has a very strong image of beautiful women, so perhaps it is true. […] Yes, I showed you can be beautiful and be a lesbian."

Noun senses 2 and 3 (“a patch; something patched up or improvised”) appear to have been extended from sense 1 (“top part of a boot or shoe”). Sense 4 (“repeated and often improvised musical accompaniment”) was probably derived from sense 3, and sense 5 (“activity to fill or stall for time”) from sense 4.
The verb senses were derived from the noun. Compare also Middle English vaum-peien (“(uncertain) to repair (footwear) with a new upper or vamp; to fabricate an upper or vamp”).

… Indeed, if sex has so many advantages, then which special adaptations - if any - allow long-term survival without it?

drab

Alteration of drag, possibly via the folk-etymological backronym "DRessed As a Girl" (with boy replacing girl).

Just for those who may not be aware of the term, “drab” is how you might describe a transgendered person (including transsexuals, crossdressers, drag queens, etc.) that is presenting as their birth sex. For instance, if Rain is dressed as a boy, she is dressed in “drab”. My original idea had Ruby on this page too, but that took away from the “drab” theme.

2012 November 1, Jocelyn Samara D., “Comic 278 - Ch. 12 - Drab”, in Rain, archived from the original on 2020-01-21:

(chiefly transgender slang) An instance of a transgender or non-binary person presenting as the gender corresponding to their sex assigned at birth instead of that corresponding to their internal gender identity (for instance, a trans woman dressed as a man).


drown

en-verb

drowns (present singular third-person)
drowning (participle present)
drowned (participle past)
drowned (past)

[d̠͡ɹ̠˔ʷaʊn]

From Middle English drownen, drounen, drunen (“to drown”), of obscure and uncertain origin.
The OED suggests an unattested Old English form *drūnian. Harper 2001 points to Old English druncnian, ġedruncnian (> Middle English drunknen, dronknen (“to drown”)), "probably influenced" by Old Norse drukkna (cf. Icelandic drukkna, Danish drukne (“to drown”)). Funk & Wagnall's has 'of uncertain origin'. It has been theorised (see e.g. ODS) that it may represent a direct loan of Old Norse drukkna, but this is described by the OED as being "on phonetic and other grounds [...] highly improbable", unless one considers the possibility of an unattested variant in Old Norse *drunkna.

When I was a baby, I nearly drowned in the bathtub.

Old woes, not infant sorrows, bear them mild / Continuance tames the one; the other wild, / Like an unpractised swimmer plunging still, / With too much labour drowns for want of skill.

1594, William Shakespeare, Lucrece (First Quarto), London: […] Richard Field, for Iohn Harrison, […], →OCLC:

1995, Louis Diamant, Richard D. McAnulty, editors, The Psychology of Sexual Orientation, Behavior, and Identity: A Handbook, Westport, Ct.: Greenwood Press, →ISBN, page 190:

In all my life I had never seen a woman discharge like that.

2001, Peter [Maxwell] Cryle, “Producing the Voice in Erotic Narrative”, in Brian Nelson, Anne Freadman, Philip Anderson, editors, Telling Performances: Essays on Gender, Narrative, and Performance, Newark, Del.: University of Delaware Press, →ISBN, page 117:

One of the most challenging of male sexual disorders is that of delayed ejaculation (DE). The man who cannot readily ejaculate either alone or, most typically, with a partner, feels thwarted, anxious, and sexually incompetent.

2006, Sandra R. Leiblum, editor, Principles and Practice of Sex Therapy, 4th edition, New York, N.Y.: Guilford Press, →ISBN, page 241:

Biologically described as the release of seminal fluid from the penis during the male sexual response cycle, male ejaculation is entangled with cultural beliefs about male sexual prowess and masculine authenticity. […] Due to the sexual, cultural, and personal significance of ejaculation, men and boys are vulnerable to prevalent messages about the timing, size, and frequency of their ejaculation. Ejaculation can be a visual representation of the measure of the man.

2014, Lisa Jean Moore, “Ejaculation (Male)”, in Michael Kimmel, Christine Milrod, Amanda Kennedy, editors, Cultural Encyclopedia of the Penis, Lanham, Md.: Rowman & Littlefield, →ISBN, page 55:

c. 1591–1595 (date written), William Shakespeare, “The Tragedie of Romeo and Ivliet”, in Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies […] (First Folio), London: […] Isaac Iaggard, and Ed[ward] Blount, published 1623, →OCLC, [Act IV, scene i]:

Yet let us goǃ England is in her shroud – we may not enchain ourselves to a corpse.

1826, [Mary Shelley], chapter II, in The Last Man. […], volume III, London: Henry Colburn, […], →OCLC:

The obstructive tendency attributed to the knot in spiritual matters appears in a Swiss superstition that if, in sewing a corpse into its shroud, you make a knot on the thread, it will hinder the soul of the deceased on its passage to eternity.

1911, James George Frazer, chapter V, in Taboo and the Perils of the Soul (The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion; II), third edition, London: Macmillan and Co., Limited, page 310:

Oh yeah, because you know who's been long overdue a challenge? The trans community. Oh, they've had their guard down for too long if you ask me. They'll all be checking their privilege on the way home now thanks to you, you brave little cis boy!
