Used in a sentence

  • If young persons of both sexes were brought together in the honest practical relations of organized labor, we should see no more of these fond nympholepsies
  • The science of nympholepsy is a precise science. Actual contact would do it in one second flat. An interspace of a millimeter would do it in ten.
