Summary: funny reference for the lexicon geek
Review: If you like reference books like I do, you can never have enough lexicons at your disposal. I thought I knew a lot of the slang referring to things normally covered by bathing suits, but I was mistaken. Tons of stuff I didn't even imagine. Some of the terms are 19th Century slang and are no longer used... and the reason for their use is not always obvious or explained.The few sparse illustrations are absolutely hilarious, but they are just cartoons to pepper the book, not diagrams. My less than perfect rating is due to the lack of true history behind the terms, especially those from the 1960s and earlier... just citing that it was coined in a particular year. Also, there are terms I have heard repeatedly on TV & movies that were not cited here. There are no references as to where they collected their data, so the book becomes more of a funny bathroom humor compendium instead of a reliable lexicon. Whenever you need an arsenal of foul words, or you need to look up that term you just overheard your teenager say on the phone, however, this is a handy reference for those of us less informed in the realm of lockerroom banter.

Summary: A great coffee table book
Review: Of all the odd and different books that are stored on my coffee table, this is by far the most popular pick. It's simply hilarious. And who can resist gaining the "knowledge" which it contains? A real winner for the fun at heart...

Summary: Not the best collection of its type
Review: The title is a bit of a joke because the book is actually quite small in the physical sense. Basically it is a list of words (primarily English language words) that seem to fit into a range of categories that can be general (male parts) or very specific (tasty terms). Some lists are set up as charts that focus on the play with one phrase or rhyme systems. The picture throughout could be funny or distracting depending on your personal taste -- I found them a bit of both. Once more we see that in the English language words relating to women's bodies and sexuality are fewer and less "active". It could be fun to read with friends but since no real definitions are offered for the terms, not very helpful to writers I think.

Summary: Expand your vocabulary and shame your mom in one fell swoop!
Review: This book is a big book of words describing sex...all kinds of sex....but the best thing about this book...is that it gives reference dates and countries that the saying are attributed to. This book is great for some laughs...and the perfect gift for the foul mouthed in your family...or writers....or both.

Summary: How to sound educated about the down & dirty
Review: This is one of the funniest books I've picked up in a while. Its really just a listing of terminology and euphemisms for sexuality and the like. If you ever wanted to boost your dirty word list, here's your book. I read a few reviews, one in particular complains that this isn't the best book on the subject, but I don't see any alternate choices listed. Ok, maybe this is or isn't THE definitive guide to the subject, but its pretty good, and pretty cheap.

Summary: Hilarious and informative!
Review: What a great book! Not only does it have 6500 sex slang words and phrases, it also tells you when and where the words were invented. For example, a promiscuous man in the 16th century was called "Lusty Lawrence". In the 19th century he was called a "bird's-nester." An impotent man in the 17th century was called a "fumbler." I bought this book mainly because I am a screenwriter and I am always looking for different ways to say things. This book is perfect! And it is very entertaining! I definitely recommend it!
