Frigidity
|
|
Frigidity In sex, the failure to become sexually aroused or passionate. Traditionally, it has been applied chiefly to women but now is considered too imprecise, unscientific and judgmental. Prefered are the terms "situationally anorgasmic" or "pre-orgasmic."
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Sex
An individual's gender classification - male or female.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Flagellant
A person who undergoes whipping or scourging, especially as a religious penitent, or as a sexual masochist.
Foredoomance
The inevitable consequence of living culminating in eventual degeneration, decline, disease and death; one of the five universal exigencies of being human.
Forensic
Pertaining to or applied in legal proceedings.
Foreplay
The traditional term for erotosexual activity during the proceptive phase in which manual, oral, and other skin and body contact ensure erection of the penis, lubrication of the vagina, and an urgency of being ready for orgasm, usually penovaginally induced.
Formicophilia
A specialized variety of zoophilia in which sexuoerotic arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent on the sensations produced by small creatures like snails, frogs, ants, or other insects creeping, crawling, or nibbling the genitalia and perianal area, and the nipples.
Frigidity
Frottage
See frotteurism.
Frotteur
One who has the syndrome of frotteurism.
Frotteurism
A paraphilia of the solicitational/allurative type in which sexuoerotic arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent on rubbing especially the genital area against the body of a stranger in a densely packed crowd. There is no technical name for the reciprocal paraphilic condition, namely being sexuoerotically dependent on being rubbed by a stranger. Synonym, frottage. See also toucheurism. the condition in which a person (a frotteur) is dependent on rubbing against and feeling the genital or other region of the body of a stranger, especially in a tightly packed crowd, in order to obtain erotic arousal and facilitate or achieve orgasm.
Fuck
The Anglo-Saxon synonym for sexual intercourse, coition, or copulation (all Latin-derived). To copulate and to fuck are the only one-word verbs for mutual genital intercourse. The former is too stilted for vernacular use. The latter, being tabooed as dirty, is often replaced by euphemisms like to screw or to ball.
Fugue
An altered state of consciousness in which what is happening now is unrelated to, or dissociated from what had happened then, in the preceding phase of existence; as for example in the alternating manifestations of dual or multiple personality. A state of dissociation, which subsequently may be followed by an amnesia for events which occurred during the state of dissociation.
