Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I’m interested in learning the actual use of and etymology of this word. I searched for it and the results generally consists of religious sites basically saying it means men who bed other men. Being religious sites I consider them single-source and unreliable. Only one made allowances for translating it as unfaithfulness regardless of the relationship, but then still went on to say it was man/man. None specified children. Anyone got a decent secular and objective source that lays out the possible usage and meaning(s)?
