I say declare cocktease to be one word.
Somebody call the OED! Ginger is authoritative.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I suggested hyphenated. Strangely enough, it's not in any of the dictionaries I consulted!
So, you were looking for cocktease in all the wrong places?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Normally, when a noun and participle are used as a compound adjective they're hyphenated in front of the noun but not elsewhere, e.g., "The cock-teased man was frustrated by the cock tease." It looks like the preferred American use is cock tease and British is cock-tease, but the Brits are very promiscuous with hyphens. Both cock-tease and cocktease are alternates.
See, I knew Ginger could make it sound all knowledge-y!

I do a variant of the "So many, many webs" one. With more twirling. I'm kind of sad the video didn't include the ever-popular we don't care what everyone ELSE is doing, WE'RE waltzing.
(And yes, StuntHusband and I are guilty of that.)
