Talking About Sex in the 18th Century

[magog_83]

These are amazing! Emily Brand (who runs the Bawdyhouse blog I sometimes link to) has found these brilliant euphemisms for sex from the 18th century.

Here are just a few...

LOBCOCK, a large relaxed penis, also a dull inanimate fellow

Oh, I'd seen this, but somehow missed Riding St George. Wonder what they called Reverse Cowgirl...

(I've never got over in Lysistrata when the women solemnly swear they will not 'adopt the lion on a cheesegrater position' - and I could never find out if it was just a joke or an actual slang sex term from the 5th century BC.)
