What makes you guffaw at its randiness rather then make you slick and wet .

I found the "Adventures of Lord Iffy Boatrace" by Bruce Dickinson quite bawdy and amusing when I was 14. I must read it again one of these days!

Rabelais.

Sid James. Not the slick and wet part, though.

sp: 'It' = 'It's'. '.' 'peice' = 'piece'. '.' = '?'.

Petronius' Satyricon is pretty saucy and fun. And Billy Budd has some hilariously hifalutin descriptions of male beauty.

And how about Beyond the Valley of the Dolls? Although any Russ Meyer film will do.

I was gonna do a fake-prude routine for this question but then I saw the names of Rabelais & Russ Meyer & went, Fuck no, bawdiness is a gunslinger! Them & "Carry On" flicks, also certain works of the NZ songwriter Bob Cardy aka Bob Brannigan.

John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester is a restoration satirist who is known for being base and filthy . He is too clever by half and often the first "proper" Liteary refrence you see for the big seven words. Some of his later poems are in controversy because of their pendantic turn to towards Christanity . I love him for a sonnet he wrote two men entered a woman at servants and masters entrances. Is this what you are askign about the kent refrences ? .

I have no idea who Chatam is.

sp: "literary reference" woo hoo I beat pinefox.

― Josh, Thursday, 5 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

and (sp)pendantic

is this where you get:

person a: you're pendantic
person b: its pedantic, actually
person a: exactly...

Stumbling across Erica Jong's _Fanny_ when I was thirteen was fairly mindblowing. Reread it a couple of years back and the whole genre exercise (having now read more novels of the time period it's set in) actually works quite amusingly.
