Dismissing son during sexual revelation? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ousting

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dismissing' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being present participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'son during sexual revelation?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'son' could be 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son) and 's' is found within the answer.
'during' could be 'in' (e.g. during February means in February) and 'in' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ousting that I've seen before include "Turfing out" , "Driving out" , "ejecting" , "Evicting" .)
