Feeling hand over male partners during sex (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

presentiment

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

'male partners during sex' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'feeling hand over' is the wordplay.
'feeling' becomes 'sentiment' (a sentiment is a feeling or view).
'hand' becomes 'pre' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'over' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters go over others).
'sentiment' after 'pre' is 'PRESENTIMENT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for presentiment that I've seen before include "bad feeling" , "Feeling of apprehension" , "Intuitive foreboding" , "An intuitive feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
