Usage
Because of the term's onomatopoeic nature, the first meaning can only be used when referring to a male. Hard later coined shlick as the female counterpart but its usage is not nearly as widespread. However, due to the lack of use of shlick, fap has been more recently used to refer to both male and female masturbation.
The usage "fap to x" refers to x as what one is watching or thinking of while fapping, e.g. "He fapped to the latest Britney Spears video" or "I fapped to the thought of getting lucky with Susie"
The inflected verb forms "fapping" and "fapped" always use a doubled "p".
Combined forms such as fappable, faptastic, and fapworthy have been sighted.
