>Your response is heartening. Sarcasm is okay.
I wasn't being sarcastic at all! Hard to read tone from black and white internet text I guess, but I genuinely find your class topic fascinating. The school of hard knocks is as much legitimate as a PhD, and sometimes better. My native Portuguese speaking wife who has a degree in English as a language can't get a job at an American university teaching Portuguese because... get this... she doesn't have a degree in Portuguese as a language... but... get this some more... they'll hire her to teach English! There was a time when university professors were hired because they were masters of their field in experience first... now they just need a masters degree with NO experience, but I digress.
T&D = tease & denial, sometimes called erotic denial. Specifically, the practice of titillating (usually the man) for an extended period of time without allowing release, for the pleasure of the titillater (usually the woman, and who is usually allowed releases). It's a part of tantric sex practices, but it's often confused with BDSM. Considering you teach a class on tantrism, you may already know more about it than you thought, but just never heard of the T&D lifestyle. T&D doesn't equal BDSM, BUT... owing to the nature of the internet, if you do a search on T&D, you're going to get flooded with really far unrelated BDSM, humiliation, and cuckolding material catering to the fantasies of lonely men, with few, if any, real tantric relationship T&D info. You've been warned, but Google away.
