oxymoron 

A sentence or phrase of contradictions that seem to make no sense upon first perusal but actual does on closer inspection. A common misconception is that any set of contradicting words placed together makes an oxymoron; but a phrase or sentence is truly not an oxymoron unless it actually DOES make sense, even if it might not seem to.

when a chick's nice warm mouth is giving a guy dome with ice in her mouth to create a contradicting sensation in the genital region
