New book on language of love and sex
Winnipeg professor Mark Morton has written The Lover's Tongue: A Merry Romp Through the Language of Love and Sex. His previous books surveyed food- and millennium-themed language. "The Lover's Tongue is split into chapters -- which Morton advises are best read one at a time -- on everything including kissing, wooing and seducing, love, a fitting and intentionally brief conclusionary climax on the orgasm and a 15-page chapter titled The Ins and Outs of the In-and-Out: Copulation Words."
I've read this book (The Lover's Tongue), and it's excellent -- lots of amazing information about the history of words pertaining to love and sex. And very funny, too. I did some research about the author (Morton), and he's got a web site that tells you more about the book:
