tangibleize

To make something invisible visible.

The thought, "The body is a physical manifestation of the soul", can also be expressed as "The body tangibleizes the soul".

Examples of things which "tangibleize" an invisible thing—such as a thought—are words, drawings, photographs, images, and sculptures or 3-D models because those things have transformed a thought or feeling into a visible or tangible representation of them.

And though spoken words manifest thoughts, no one can see a spoken word. To make a word visible, it must be written or typed. Then it can be moved around in a text. Though it is not possible to touch or hold written word per se, they can be said to be tangible because when written, they can be sent in a letter or email, or when printed on a paper or in a book, carried.

fellatio-prevented pregnancy

A possible pregnancy which a teenaged girl prevent by performing fellatio on the male who—if she did not sweet talk him into ejeculating in her mouth— would have ejeculated in her vagina.

The City Council approved the fellatio-prevented pregnancy method by signing a bill which directs the city's public high schools to give teenage girls mouth-on lessons on how to perform fellatio on mannequins appears to have persuaded sufficient teenage girls to sweet talk their boyfriend into ejaculating in their mouth instead of their vagina, because in the last 6-months the number of unwanted teenage pregnancies and also of abortions has sharply declined.
