Updated Sexual Slang Entry At The What Ho Library

[cuddyclothes]

At what_ho_library , the entry "What Is An Edwardian Word For Penis?" has been updated with British and American timelines of slang for:

Breasts
Commercial Sex
Masturbation
Arse (Down And Dirty)
Defection and Urination

The Timeline slider goes from 1850-present, so it works for just about every fandom, including Jane Austen if you want to get naughty.

At give_satisfaction , activity will resume over the holidays.

Happy Holidays!

1840s polar skincare/haircare meta

[skazka]

I've written a bit of meta for Season One of AMC's The Terror that might be helpful for other fandoms dealing with men in Early Victorian England -- namely hygiene, haircare, shaving, and lube on post-Age of Sail polar expeditions. (Post contains general spoilers for canon, but not anything you might not expect from the broad strokes history of the final Franklin expedition.)
