The Bald Headed Hermit and the Artichoke: An Erotic Thesaurus

Rating:
Summary: OK, but not great.
Review: If you struggle to keep redundancy out of your vocabulary, put this work on your bookshelf and you'll have more dirty words at your fingertips than you'll ever need! My only objection is that Peterkin doesn't really explore the rich, erotic vocabulary offered by many other languages. The book sticks to mostly English and French. All-in-all, a great book for writers!

Summary: A fun and informative guide to the language of sex.
Review: This book is a fun and informative collection of words and phrases dealing with sex in the English language. In addition to collecting wild and raucous terms for everything sexual under the sun, it includes historical and cultural contexts as well as a number of archival "dirty" photographs that ultimately make the book a brilliant diversion perfect for cocktail-party chatter. I really enjoyed it.

Summary: OK, but not great.
Review: This thesaurus was interesting but I thought there would be more creative words and phrases included. Alot of the words were more geared toward the obscene, "nasty" side of sexual terminology. I bought the book to find some clever alternatives that were in good taste and with class. There were a few, but not enough for my taste.

Summary: get it before it's gone
Review: using euphemisms for body parts does not sit well with many writers. I am one who loves this book and I must say it is very informative.it contains old photos and words i've never heard of, I like how the author put the book together, classic [terms] are used in this book, the book covers everything from anal sex to missionary position, i am impressed at mr.peterkin's work, I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of nicknames for body parts, whoever bought this book,your money is WELL spent!!!
