Talk:keep the wolf from the door

RFV discussion: June 2016–March 2017
Rfv-sense - to delay ejaculation.

Well, I'm familiar with the concept, but I don't recall hearing this meaning, and can't see anything on a quick Google book search. SemperBlotto (talk) 05:25, 10 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm certainly familiar with one use:
 * Annoyingly, the only video I can find starts just after the line (takes place in a pitch-black room, but I guess the audio could be considered slightly NSFW), but it makes the context very clear. A Google search for things like "keep the wolf from the door" + "orgasm" finds a fair few hits but only one I think is citeable.

Did the sexual sense originate in the "Alan Partridge" TV comedy?
I've never heard of it before that, and we have no earlier citation. Equinox ◑ 17:44, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
