Search Results - Lesbianism

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A lesbian is a woman who is romantically or sexually attracted to other women.[1][2] This usage of the term entered the English lexicon as early as 1870, though it went through further development for at least the next fifty years.

The word lesbian in English was originally an adjective referring to the inhabitants of the Greek island of Lesbos and the dialect of Greek from the island. From antiquity Lesbos was associated with female homosexuality because of the homoerotic verse of native poetess Sappho. The ancient Greek rhetorician Lucian used "Lesbian" as an adjective to refer to female homosexuality, but the most common term used by ancient writers was Tribade, which could mean either a masculine woman, or a woman who has sex with another woman. This term continued to be the most common word used in medical literature in up to the 18th century in Europe.[3] The word meant "rubber", on the assumption that female homosexual practices involved sexual stimulation by rubbing together both the genitalia of two women,[4] and referred to sexual practices rather than the modern concept of sexual orientations.[3]

The dominant meaning of "lesbian" until the 19th century still referred to Lesbos rather than any sexual identity. However, Pierre de Bourdeille, seigneur de Brantôme, the French 17th century writer on sexuality, uses the term "lesbian" ("dames et lesbiennes") to mean homosexual women, but according to David M Halperin the word is always still directly linked to the women of Lesbos

"Lesbian" in this period, then, remained largely a proper name, a place name, a geographical designation - though as Brantôme's usage indicates, a name strongly associated with sexual relations between women.[5]

May 29, 2009

The word “propaganda” is most of the time associated with manipulation or influence. Propagandists use strong words, powerful emotions, rallies, poster prints, and a lot of other ways to appeal to the public to have them on the propagandists’ side when it comes to a controversial issue. One controversy that has been the talk of the town for years now is same-sex marriage. In the past, tackling issues of homosexuality or lesbianism is considered a taboo, which is why gays and lesbians suppress their true identity from the community, or what is known as being inside the “closet.” However, “...
