In the context of BDSM, bondage involves people being tied up or otherwise restrained for pleasure. Bondage is usually, but not always, a sexual practice. The paraphilia of being sexually aroused by bondage is sometimes known as vincilagnia. Studies in the U.S. have shown that about a half of all men find the idea of bondage to be erotic; many women do as well.

Homomasculine subculture as a distinct modern entity only developed with the rise of Western masculine mass culture in the mid-20th century and the process of gay liberation in the 1960s and 1970s; its roots, however, arguably stretch back to ancient Greek culture. Notable influences on homomasculinity are the sport of bodybuilding and the influence of the biker culture, both of which set defineable masculine archetypes for both straight and gay males in postwar popular culture. Gay culture at this time was defined, both from outside ...

The better-known comic-book character Lobo is an alien mercenary antihero (arguably a superhero) created by artist Keith Giffen and writer Roger Slifer. He debuted in DC's Omega Men series in 1983. Although intended to be an over-the-top parody of Marvel Comics' Wolverine, the character became hugely popular — more so than his creators had intended for a one-note gag character. When the series Omega Men was disrupted in 1988, Lobo became a regular character in L.E.G.I.O.N. and its successor series R.E.B.E.L.S. until 1990, when he appeared in his own miniseries, Lobo: The Last Czarnian, by w ...

The connotations of this term differ sharply depending on the age and exposure of the subject. Used of a person who is in or might be entering larval stage (definition?), it is semi-approving; such wannabees can be annoying but most hackers remember that they, too, were once such creatures. When used of any professional programmer, computer science academic, writer, or suit, it is derogatory, implying that said person is trying to cuddle up to the hacker mystique but doesn't, fundamentally, have a prayer of understanding what it is all about. Overuse of terms from the Hacker's Lexicon is ofte ...
