Lists of interesting sexual euphemisms

[BelleCanzuto]

I just found these, and I thought some of them were funny and a few are poetic. I think most of us struggle to find interesting ways to describe what's in our imaginations. So, I thought I'd pass these on.

Hyperbole in the original, because, clicks, right?

Example: 8 | slam like a dunny door in a gale – a quick sexual encounter
To translate from folksy colloquial to English, a dunny door is an outhouse door… and when there’s wind, it slams open and shut, back and forth, quickly. This is a term that would be used if Dan Rather or Keith Jackson were doing commentary on your sexual relations, and would definitely be peppered with some Whoa Nellys and some Hold the Phones.

11 Fantastic Sex and Love Idioms From Foreign Languages

Example: 6 | batuta ni Drakula
Tagalog for a powerful penis (literal: Dracula’s nightstick)

I never really thought of Dracula as being a sexual icon (nor as a nightwatchman?) but I guess 25 million Filipinos can’t be wrong. On the evil creature sexual rankings, I’d think that Dracula finishes somewhere in the third quartile, way behind Frankenstein and the Yeti, far ahead of the Mummy, and probably around the same as the Loch Ness Monster.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that 'dunny', in the sense of an outhouse, is an Australianism (although you also hear it in rural New Zealand) and is probably borrowed from Scottish English where it usually means 'a basement passageway'.

And, among my Antipodean friends, it is normally 'she bangs like a dunny door in a blow', describing not so much a quick sexual encounter as a loud, enthusiastic one.

Well, then that's only bad if the neighbors object.

Correct on both counts.

Belle must have missed out on Hammer Horror, what with her view on Dracula and all. We must ask Christopher Lee to have words .

Not my view on Dracula, the blog author's view.
I can only surmise, of course, but were I male, I think I'd take "Dracula's nightstick" as a compliment...

Somewhere in my library I have a book of vampire stories that starts with a 20-page essay about the sexual symbolism of Dracula. I learned several new words from it that I've never seen anywhere else.

Allow me to recommend The Bald-Headed Hermit and the Artichoke; An Erotic Thesaurus for all the slang, smuttery, and euphemisms you can stand, and then some.

That does look interesting.

Oops!

Dracula's nightstick - I'd tend to agree .
