Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-02 00:00:00 David Ledford A psychoanalytical analysis to the expression of sexual taboos in Western European languages and cultures. Examples are taken from Ancient Greek mythology and from various classics of the Western cannon. Heavily influenced by Freud. Author is a female practicing psychoanalyst in South America. Hey contention is quite similar to Freud's: prohibitions against sexual language and expressing oneself erotically are harmful to humans because denying who you were, are, and will be is bad for your health and your mind. Interesting read.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-03-22 00:00:00 Josh Labass Mostly psycho-babble with Freudian interpretations of dirty words. Some of the quotes and histories of words are interesting, but in general this book is more yawn-inducing than intriguing.
