Sexual Etymology

by Jason Stotts

Last year I started a weekly segment called “Sexual Etymology.”  In it, I went through words related to sex and took a look at their etymological origins to see if these origins could inform our current understanding of these words and their use. Unfortunately, in the move from Blogspot, I forgot about the segment and let it lapse. I am happy to announce, though, that I am rectifying this and reintroducing this segment.  To hold you over until the new editions come, I’ve reposted all of the originals.  Enjoy!
