Death grip
Death grip (/dɛθ grɪp/) is a term often used in medical and psychological contexts to describe a phenomenon where an individual applies excessive pressure during self-stimulation or sexual intercourse, which can lead to decreased sensitivity and potential sexual dysfunction.
Etymology
The term "death grip" is a combination of the words "death" and "grip". "Death" is derived from Old English dēaþ, which is akin to Old High German tōd meaning "death". "Grip" comes from Old English gripan, meaning "to seize or grasp tightly".
