Hi all. Stuck on the top half of this grid, so your help with parsing these should get me moving again, thanks:
6a Show willing, applying pressure to sex partner on testicle (4,4) ----,---L (something BALL?)
12a Avoidance of booze - muscles can, as a consequence, start off (10) (possibly TEMPERANCE, but I can't see why, and could be on completely the wrong track?)
15a The bloke's stuck in stew pot (7)
2d It might give a Cyclopean view of our magazine cover (8)
5d Bloody he'll! Biden just started something else! (6) -O-H-- (possibly JOSHED/R/S but can't work out which, if any is correct)

6 play ball?
play ball / abstinence / hashish / eyepatch / bother
P(ressure) lay (sex partner) ball (testicle)
Abs (muscles) tin (can) (consequ) ence
Hash (pot) around his (the bloke's)
B(iden) other (something else)
Cyclops had one eye, and an eye patch would cover one.
