Product Description

The National Post

The Erotic Thesaurus is a must for porn writers and journalists. . .


Review

A progressive thesaurus that demystifies the language of sex.
—Quill & Quire (Quill & Quire )

. . . an eye-opening read. . .
—The Toronto Sun (Toronto Sun )

The Erotic Thesaurus is a must for porn writers and journalists. . .
—The National Post (National Post )

Aside from being both entertaining and very funny, The Bald-Headed Hermit and the Artichoke is extremely well researched and written.
—Hustler (Hustler )

. . . by turns hilarious, shocking, and lewd. It's guaranteed to raise a blush to even the least maidenly cheek. . .
—Xtra West (Xtra West )

. . . quite an impressive collection. . .
—January Magazine (January Magazine )

. . . a handy thesaurus of titillating terms, many of which provide for a spanking (er, the hand-on-the-knee variety) good chuckle.
—Calgary Straight (Calgary Straight )

Roget's it ain't. . . this 154-page book now gets a permanent place in my reference library.
—Vancouver Province (The Province )

Both culturally significant and thoroughly outrageous. . .
—Martlett (Martlett )

. . . a fun romp through the world of sexual lingo. . .
—Lavendar Rhinocerous (Lavendar Rhinocerous )

5.0 out of 5 stars get it before it's gone, Aug 12 2001
By "willscape" (Milwaukee,WI) - See all my reviews
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!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but not great., Jan 26 2001
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for writers of erotica!, Feb 24 2000
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!
