cledalism
n.— «Salvador Dali, for example, defined flight as “the most spectacular expression of the sexual impulse.” And when he had to define that same sexual impulse, he coined the term “cledalism.” This, according to Dali, is the matter of achieving orgasm by reciprocating facial expressions rather than reciprocating anything else.» —“Does this ring any bells?” by Stephen Bayley Observer (United Kingdom) Mar. 25, 2007.
