Stereotypical figure points to carnal activity from male (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
essex man
'stereotypical figure' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'points to carnal activity from male' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'es' (E is an example).
'to carnal activity' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'from' becomes 'ex' ('from' in Latin).
'male' becomes 'man' (man is a kind of male).
'es'+'s'+'ex'+'man'='ESSEX MAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for essex man that I've seen before include "Type of bloke" , "Self-made southerner" , "Archetypal, southern male" , "uncultured guy" , "Uncultured, well-off working-class fellow" .)
