Gentleman’s Handbook Glossary
“A refined reference for terms that sometimes appear in the language of intimacy. This glossary is designed to explain these words with clarity and care. Each entry links to a relevant service page for deeper reading, while older terminology is noted only for context.”
Adventurous
Definition: A refined way of describing more daring forms of intimacy. It represents curiosity and the courage to explore new experiences together.
Context: Historically referred to as “A-Level” in other circles. Today, it is best understood as the willingness to step outside comfort zones in a respectful, consensual way.
Body Splash
Definition: A playful form of intimacy where closeness can feel spontaneous and light-hearted. Often about enjoyment of the moment rather than the act itself.
Context: Sometimes referred to elsewhere as “cum on body.” Here, it is reframed as a symbolic gesture of intimacy.
Brimming
Definition: A discreet term for an intimate form of trust and vulnerability, approached with care and a strong sense of respect.
Context: Elsewhere this may be known as “rimming.” In this glossary, the emphasis is on hygiene, mutual consent, and comfort.
Deep Kisses
Definition: Long, unhurried kisses that express closeness, passion, and tenderness. A way of communicating emotion beyond words.
Context: Sometimes known in other communities as “DFK” (deep French kissing).
Deep Oral
Definition: An advanced form of oral intimacy that requires relaxation, communication, and trust between partners.
Context: Often spoken of elsewhere as “deep throat.” Here, the focus is on the patience and skill involved rather than the act itself.
Facial Finish
Definition: A more adventurous form of play often centred around symbolism, power dynamics, or playful surrender.
Context: Sometimes known outside as “cum in face.” This definition highlights the psychological rather than physical aspect.
Gents Duo
Definition: A scenario where two men may enjoy time with a companion, often requiring careful boundaries and clear communication.
Context: In older terminology, this might have been called “MMF.” Today it is described as a gentleman’s duo, highlighting courtesy and coordination.
Mutual Oral
Definition: A form of shared intimacy where both partners give and receive at the same time. It is about balance and reciprocity.
Context: Sometimes referred to in shorthand as “69.”
Oral Finish
Definition: When a moment of intimacy is concluded during oral closeness. Some couples enjoy the symbolism and connection it brings.
Context: Elsewhere, this has been called “cum in mouth,” but we frame it as a matter of shared trust and comfort.
Taboo Play
Definition: A broad term for role play or scenarios that explore the edges of what feels “forbidden.” Always centred around safety, consent, and mutual enjoyment.
Context: Historically, some circles used “hardsports.” In this glossary it is kept tasteful and psychological.
Toys and Tease
Definition: The playful use of toys to enhance connection, exploration, and arousal. Toys may be used alone, with a partner, or in creative settings.
Context: Often described simply as “sex toys.” Here, the emphasis is on shared fun and imagination.
Uncovered Oral
Definition: Oral closeness without a barrier. Always a decision that requires mutual trust, clear communication, and awareness of health.
Context: In other circles, this is sometimes called “OWO” (oral without).
Wet Play
Definition: A niche form of adventurous intimacy that plays with the idea of fluidity, ritual, and taboo. It is more about the thrill of the boundary than the act itself.
Context: Historically, this has been described as “watersports.”
