Pavloving

The subtle art of conditioning someone — intentionally or not — to associate a specific action, word, or situation with a particular feeling, craving, or behavior. Inspired by the OG behaviorist Ivan Pavlov and his famously drooling dogs, Pavloving is basically psychological sorcery in everyday life.

“I gave him a glass of water every time we met — now the dude gets thirsty just seeing me. That’s premium Pavloving.”

“Text her ‘good morning’ daily and soon enough, she’ll wake up expecting it. Classic Pavloving.”

“He plays that one song every time we drive — now I’m Pavloved into missing him when it plays elsewhere. Ugh.”

pavlovian boner 

The erection that occurs following a phone ring, text alert, or email alert from a sex partner. This occurs since the penis has been conditioned to become hard when a call or text usually results in a sexual encounter.

As soon as my phone rings at 2:00am on a saturday night, I usually get a pavlovian boner, since I know that's a booty call.
