A playful take on bedroom talk?a smart, funny encyclopedia with entries written by notable contemporary writers.
This witty reference steps in where time-honored discussions of the birds and the bees typically fall short. All of the 100-some entries are formally defined and further explained through reflective and ribald definitions, essays, and stories by some of today?s most exciting writers. Everything from celibacy to promiscuity, hand jobs to sex toys is tackled by everyone?s favorite writers including Steve Almond, Patricia Marx, Phillip Lopate, and Antonya Nelson. From sexual relationships (monogamy, one-night stand, ménage à trois) to sexual positions (doggie style, 69), from age-old practices (prostitution) to contemporary twists (cybersex), this alphabetical encyclopedia includes everything you need to know about the language of love and more.

What Your Mother Didn't Know Enough About to Tell You!

I'll confess to blushing more than once while reading this engaging encyclopedia of all the things my mother didn't want me to know - and no doubt many she doesn't know herself. I surely learned a few new terms here! The sexy was the least surprising, though. These short pieces by an amazing gathering of writers are alternately funny, sweet, and enlightening - and often even poetic! But definitely sexy, too!

Dirty Words

Wow, this book is interesting, full of the unexpected and a great read! For the mature audience, this book is a good conversation piece and anything but dull!! Enjoy!

A really entertaining read...

I've been very entertained by reading about each word, the other synonyms for said word, and what the individual essayists have to say about each word. A lot of fun.

Educational and entertaining

Edgy, educational, amusing, and thoroughly enjoyable. I would even venture to say it's a must read for all college freshman. An essential book for a complete "educational" experience.
