Book Description
Metaphor has long provided a rich way to speak about the unspeakable, to refer to delicate issues. Sex is one such area. This book follows a cognitive-linguistic and relevance-theoretic approach to the language of sex, considering metaphor as a bridge that brings together mind and language. It does this through the analysis of the antithetical mechanisms of verbal mitigation and offence. These two mechanisms are (more commonly know as) euphemism and (its lesser known companion term) dysphemism. The volume reflects on the social and communicative functions that sexual metaphors perform in a sample of almost two hundred postings taken from internet forums. How do people think about sex? How do people avoid talking about sex? How do people paraphrase sexual topics? It offers an account of how real language users understand sexual taboo in present-day English and also a great grounding in manual corpus work on a qualitative level.
Why Women Have Sex
Author: Cindy M. Meston
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429955228
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
An unparalleled exploration of the mysteries underlying women's sexuality that rivals the culture-shifting Kinsey Report, from two of America's leading research psychologists Do women have sex simply to reproduce or display their affection? When University of Texas at Austin clinical psychologist Cindy M. Meston and evolutionary psychologist David M. Buss joined forces to investigate the underlying sexual motivations of women, what they found astonished them. Through the voices of real women, Meston and Buss reveal the motivations that guide women's sexual decisions and explain the deep-seated psychology and biology that often unwittingly drive women's desires—sometimes in pursuit of health or pleasure, or sometimes for darker, disturbing reasons that a woman may not fully recognize. Drawing on more than a thousand intensive interviews conducted solely for the book, as well as their pioneering research on physiological response and evolutionary emotions, Why Women Have Sex uncovers an amazingly complex and nuanced portrait of female sexuality. They delve into the use of sex as a defensive tactic against a mate's infidelity (protection), as a ploy to boost self-confidence (status), as a barter for gifts or household chores (resource acquisition), or as a cure for a migraine headache (medication). Why Women Have Sex stands as the richest and deepest psychological understanding of female sexuality yet achieved and promises to inform every woman's (and her partner's) awareness of her relationship to sex and her sexuality.

Lewd Dungeon Adventures: The Shattered Dildo
Author: Phoenix Grey
Publisher: Ovid Games LLC
ISBN:
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
Welcome to Lewd Dungeon Adventures, an adult role-playing game for couples. The city of Evershade was once the pinnacle of arcane knowledge and magical prowess, a place where the greatest mages gathered to weave spells of immense sexual power. Centuries ago, a cataclysmic event caused by the creation of a powerful artifact, the Ultimate Dildo 9000, led to the city’s downfall. The artifact, a glass dildo that magically reshapes to fit the user’s preferred orifice for ultimate pleasure, was fractured into three pieces during the disaster. The devastation was so great that it caused the city to fall into ruin and become lost to the outside world. In the present day, the ruins of Evershade have become nothing more than a legend whispered among scholars and treasure hunters. Hidden within the Foreverwood Forest, the city waits, its powerful magic dormant but not extinguished. Rumors have emerged of a mad sorceress who has taken up residence within the ruins, seeking to harness the power of the Ultimate Dildo 9000 and twist it for nefarious purposes. The Hero is approached by a cloaked figure who reveals themselves to be a scholar of sexual arcane history. They have spent their life researching Evershade and have finally discovered its location. However, they need a Cummancer to navigate the forest, overcome the city’s defenses, and retrieve the pieces of the Ultimate Dildo 9000 before it falls into the mad sorceress’ hands. This module features two different areas, so it can be split into two sessions, contains a drinking game, a cocktail recipe, and 5 Special Scenarios. This adventure requires the following props: • Tokens (this could be pocket change, poker chips, or any identical game pieces) • A cock ring, if the Hero is male, or a nipple erector set, if the Hero is female. • A ball gag • A blindfold • Something to bind the hands • A glass dildo
