After writing about synonyms, I finally got down to the second part of the Juicy words, the sex dictionary. Today we will talk about the Dictionary of Sex<\/a> launched by Slovenian National Television as part of the podcast The Evolution of Sexual Pleasure<\/a> in cooperation with Croatian and Romanian colleagues. Ten videos were recorded, but then for some reason, they were abandoned. So we still have many words that need to be translated and, in some cases, explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next one was dedicated to the word klitopismenost<\/em>, which we adopted from Croatian, but originally comes from English. Cliteracy<\/em> is a part of sexual literacy that refers to the female body and clitoris, its purpose, function, and anatomy. Cliteracy<\/em> is coined from two words, clitoris<\/em> and literacy<\/em>, and the Slovenian and Croatian translations follow this example - in both languages, we use the same principle as the English language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third video is about online dating<\/em>. A term that probably originated in the 1990s but whose meaning has drifted away from reality. When we talk about online dating, we refer to finding a partner online, someone to chat with, go to the movies, or go on a date with. Tinder, which the Dictionary of Sex<\/em> takes as an example of online dating, is not a search for a partner for life but more of an occasional jump between the sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A phrase that also appears in the dictionary is sex positivity<\/em>, or a positive attitude towards sexuality and the body, respecting different sexualities. Sex positivity starts with consent and conversation, which ensures a satisfying sex life. The problem in our society is the lack of an open discussion about the positive effects of sex, and not only about the pitfalls and difficulties that sexual relations can bring. The latter is called sex negativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the above, Romanian, Croatian, and Slovenian colleagues have researched a few words more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
