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

'refused to father children reversed consent repeatedly' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'man' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'don' (Don is an example) and 'don' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'onan' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'who' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on and on that I've seen before include "Endlessly" , "continuously" , "Ever" , "Unceasingly" , "Incessantly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
