I don't even want to list all of the different dictionaries I have on my shelf. They snuck up on me over the years. One at a time, they'd just show up and stake out a few square inches of real estate among my unorganized collections. Maybe they came to hang out just for a weekend and ended up staying a while. Ça m'est égal. Pretty soon, I'm a slut for reference books--and what's more, I'm a dame that's got no regrets.
My latest find is oddly both electronic (hallelujah-- no dusting!) and low-tech. No more than a list of words on a screen with page-turning arrows. Ah, but the words, the words. For lexophiliacs, this website is more porny than porn. It'll help you tell the difference between amour fou and amor sui. Between fly-jockey and flying saucer. And might puzzle some of us with such way-back phrases as "punishing the harlequin." Oh, you'll try to act cool. But soon enough, you'll be jotting a phrase or two and finding poetry in "benrus queen."
Few dictionaries compel a page-turning frenzy like www.sex-lexis.com. Read it. Add tags to your porn collection. Feel all worldly.
