This work aims to catalog and explain a wide range of expressions related to eroticism that are not typically found in standard dictionaries. It serves as a guide to the colorful and often risqué vernacular used in intimate contexts, reflecting societal attitudes towards sexuality during its time. The opening of the book sets the stage for Delvau's ambitious project, as he discusses the absence of comprehensive erotic dictionaries prior to his work. He critiques the reluctance of past authors to address sexual language directly, suggesting that a lexicon of this nature is essential for both casual readers and scholars alike. Delvau emphasizes his commitment to honest and explicit language, stating that he avoids euphemisms and ambiguities to bring clarity to the terms of erotic discourse. He invites readers to view this dictionary as an insightful exploration of the language surrounding love and desire rather than simply a collection of obscene terms, highlighting the importance of such language in understanding the culture of his era.
