Here's the second edition (1860) version of John Camden Hotten's "A Dictionary of Modern Slang, Cant and Vulgar Words". A contemptuous book that seems to take no pleasure in novel wordcraft. Nor its kin in scholarship (his bibliography is rife with bitching about the quality of his sources- which... Same?) Now, what's interesting is that Hotten, unlike the venerable Grose, did not include 'smutty' slang in his dictionary, writing in 'Slang's foreword:
Why, it's Hotten's 'found' and anonymously published "Lady Bumtickler's Revels", his 1872 'comic opera' about sexualized spanking. (He blamed this book upon a then-30-year-dead historian, Henry Buckle. An undeniable dick move.) I put a book in your book so you book while you book.
While not explicit along most vectors, this little fella is an odd dead dove: dominating women who love to beat children, lesbianism, a staggering amount of incestual leanings, deeply icky coquettes, child abuse, everybody abuse, bad poetry, a society that, Pokemon-like, seems to revolve around whippings, unforgivable tedium, perfunctory music, and, obviously, sadomasochism. With a side of long-s abuse, as Hotten apparently claimed the piece was from the 1770s (perhaps meant as a further joke... 'joke'). The poor printing reflects the haste- or 'hafte'- at which this horrid little thing was kicked out the door. Typos abound. (Reader, those I left. I corrected the OCR scan issues.)
Upon my honour, I find it extremely un-arousing and Exponentially un-comic the longer it goes on but, upon my honour, I'm not a certain 'London Antiquary' (my honour? upon it.) All the same, 'Lady Bumtickler' is only Part of Hotten's erotic publishing, as it is third in his 'Library Illustrative of Social Progress' series (all on 'flagellation'). He didn't write them all, often acting as a simple publisher (or dubious re-publisher). Here's his smutty offerings for sale in the back of 'Bumtickler'.
When the second of two sentences in one's Wikipedia blurb is entirely devoted to "clandestine publishing of numerous erotic and pornographic titles", it's more difficult to sell "a want of decency is a want of sense."
