Dictionnaire érotique moderne

A lexicon collecting French erotic and slang vocabulary, offering definitions, usage examples, and literary citations from older and contemporary sources. The compiler focuses on modern colloquialisms born in brothels, markets, and popular speech, supplementing entries with an introduction that defends plain naming against prudish conventions and situates the terms in linguistic tradition. Editions and prefatory materials by other scholars are included, and the text emphasizes contrast between candid popular language and sanitized formal dictionaries. The arrangement is alphabetical and aims to record terms in current use while omitting archaic or widely accepted literary words.
