Glossary
This is page serves two purposes:
- There is so much variety of sexual expression, both what I consider within and outside of God’s plan for human sexuality, and you don’t always want to google the terms people use, because who knows what might come up. So, this page will act as a glossary / dictionary if you’re looking for a definition.
- There are a lot of blog posts after a decade of writing, and even I forget what I’ve written about sometimes. So, I’m going to do my best to link posts to this page for terms people may not know, but also link the terms below to pages where they’re discussed.
Note: If you’d like something added that isn’t here yet, please contact me.
