An advertizing paradox. The best way to exacerbate the internet user against your product. One of the major mistakes of electronic communication. Doomed to disappear soon.

The fact of gaining feminine features. The phenomenon manifests itself at the individual level, and at the historical level as well. At the individual level it turns a man to a shemale or a ladyboy and he ends up gay or not (he can also remain hetero and be attracted to he-females, or be bi). At the historical level it has to do with the emergence of feminine priorities in the world, and with the global increase of the ordinary (rather than political) power of women.

A lesbian who decided to keep her coming out strictly for herself and her intimates. Social conformity is not the only reason for the crypto-lesbian option. The thrill of dissimulating one's real nature to the social milieu can be a major incentive for such an option as well. Very often a crypto-lesbian is actually a discrete bisexual.

A girly guy following respectfully the orders of a masculinized woman.

A social gathering between urban people aiming at an explicit and casual display of their favorite fetish. Usually, at Fetish Night, the dressing code is stricly enforced: it is forbidden to look straight. Some Fetish Nights are public, others are very very private... but one can play by the rules at both.

A greek poetess who expressed a strong loving emotion for some of her female pupils in several of her poems. Since she and her mates lived on the island of Lesbo, it lead to the name lesbian for an homosexual woman. Female homosexuality is also called saphism in reference to Sapho.
