Sexicon

Más información sobre el libro

Just right for the sexiest word lovers: a funny and suggestive look at unmentionable acts and offbeat passions that will give readers ideas while increasing their word power. The rich treasury of the English language holds apt terms for every vagary of sex -- and this sexicon contains a bon mot for every urge, combination, and phobia.For example, people suffering from faunadestia -- derived from the Latin fauna (animal) and modestia (bashfulness) -- avoid zoos because they might be embarrassed by seeing animals have sex or scratch their privates. And the opposite persuasion is aptly called mixoscopic zoophilia -- yes, those who get off watching animals get it on Entries catalog sex acts from the obscure to the familiar, with titillating etymologies, pronunciation guides, and sample sentences.
