I’ve always admired Molly’s work and look forward to checking out the book. I also thank her for creating Dr. Sketchy’s- I regularly attend and enjoy the San Francisco chapter and will be there next week to procure my copy of the book!

RE: Laura

Once we get on Diamond, I’ll have a bunch of info on getting your local comics shop to carry Scarlett. In the meantime, Amazon is the way to go

Any idea where it is available to buy in the UK?

well, I stand blushing, in awe, and armed with a whole new repetoire of slang for the next book.

You’re all kings and queens of smut, but the winner of this contest is….

Random_Tangent!

Random_Tangent, your sweet recap of every stage of love- from flirtation to recovery, all in dulcet 19th century words, truely is a thing of beauty. Email me through my website with your address, and a book will be making its way to you shortly.

FINE GAMAHUCHE

That should be on a t-shirt.

Gamahuche.. Wow. Just wow. I laughed for a couple of minutes after saying that one out loud. Try it!

I have to cast a belated vote for “gamahuche.” I first read the word in the delightful short-lived Victorian “Journal of Voluptuous Reading” The Pearl. It means the same as the much-more-elegant “tipping the velvet” – but gets extra points in my book for sheer ridiculous un-sexiness.

“…my head was buried between her loving thighs, with which she pressed me most amorously; this was fine gamahuche…”

Who thought of this word? And why?

So many great ones to choose from.

Three-penny-upright for a quicky up against the wall, or in general “to ride rantipole,” with a lady of negotiable affections, aka dirty puzzle / wagtail / tart, or with one’s mistress, aka one’s convenient, or wife in watercolors.

And of course a man can put his bawbles / whorepipe / talliwag / plugtail in a woman’s bite / cock alley / fruitful vine / old hat / madge / muff / quim, or in her blind cupid, cooler, or nancy if he were a Gentleman of the Back Door.

Thank you so much, Zoetica. You induce such replies!

I have to agree with a previous commenter and say that favorite (and, surprisingly, still useful) one is “tipping the velvet,” which I was led to believe just meant kissing a woman. However, after some research, I think it might mean a bit more than that. Whoops…
