- Summary
- "The Bald-Headed Hermit & The Artichoke is a unique guide to the lingo of sex, compiling over 15,000 terms relating to all aspects of human sexuality, from breasts and penises to fetishes, paraphernalia, and specific erotic practices. Taken from American, British, and Canadian sources, they offer varied and "imaginative" interpretations of sexual experience that are alternately literary, humourous, and shocking, while providing unusual insight into how western culture views sexual pleasure.
- This offbeat thesaurus also documents how previously silent sexual communities, including gays, lesbians, and various fetishists and libertines, have challenged attitudes towards sexual expression, and continue to change the very language of sex."--BOOK JACKET.
