Cockblock - 7x.nl
To cockblock is to prevent another person, intentionally or inadvertently, from having sexual intercourse with a third party. A cockblock or cockblocker is a person who engages in such obstruction or intervention. According to an article by a freelance writer, Joshua Bernstein, in the New York Press, cockblocking is a "foul act in which someone interferes with another’s attempt at finding happiness inside someone’s pants."[1] An author for the UWO Gazette believes that individuals frequenting bars in university towns are likely to be familiar with "this classic maneuver."[2]
Usage in the seduction community
In the parlance of the seduction community, a cockblock refers to a person who intentionally or accidentally interferes with or hinders a pickup artist's game.[3] In The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists, Neil Strauss writes, "a cockblock can be a friend of the woman, a friend of the pickup artist, or a complete stranger."[3] According to the pickup artist Mystery, when approaching a group of people with a woman he is interested in, it is important to win over any people in the group likely to cockblock him.[4] Strauss recounts how Owen Cook (aka Tyler) pioneered a tactic called "AMOGing" (i.e. competing with an Alpha Male Of the Group) to deal with male cockblocks.[5]
Other usage
"Cockblock" can also be used in a figurative manner to describe non-sexual interfering behavior. New York Magazine used the term to characterize the Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg's attempts to counter a deal initiated by Governor of New York David Paterson.[6] According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "CockBlock" is also the name of a homosexual, mostly lesbian, dance club in San Francisco.[7]
