Naughty Nouns is a true education! It's hilarious to read the many ways people have described sex across the centuries. I might have to write a historical romance just to have the chance to use some of these words!
-Eliza Lovejay, author of Love Over Labor
The Thesaurus for Romance Writers series is perfect for any author who wants to write steamy scenes that will make readers reach for their lover (or lovers!). The series is not just a set of well-categorized synonyms. It also contains tips and templates on how to write compelling, spicy scenes.
A Reference Guide for Writing Intimate Lovemaking
Naughty Nouns in Historical Romance: Synonyms to Spice Up Your Steamy Scenes is not just for romance authors. You have a scene where your characters decide to get down and dirty but you don't want the lovemaking to sound like a gynecological or prostate exam? Afraid that your euphemisms will make your scenes too laughable to be taken seriously? What if you use terms that weren't used at the time period that your story takes place? This thesaurus puts your worries at ease.
Should be in every author's toolbox!
A perfect resource for historical romance writers, this book is your go-to guide to determine whether grabbing hold of his length fits the time period of your Regency romance. Which terms did they use back then? Discover the historically accurate terms that set the mood just right. The synonyms include all the absurd British slang from the Medieval Period to Regency and Victorian and Edwardian Periods to Contemporary times. This thesaurus includes tips on how to use explicit words to incite excitement instead of sounding like an anatomical textbook.
Who this book is not for: This thesaurus is not for writers of sweet romance nor any genre that doesn't include scenes of physical intimacy. Also, profanity and naughty words coat the pages, including words that can sound aggressive and negative. If such language may upset you, this is not the book for you.
