This dictionary contains some words that you might not have heard
before and even some you know as "dirty words". For the most part,
you'll find the definitions of these words informative, but some may
seem offensive or outrageous. Having knowledge of all kinds of words
-- even the nasty ones -- is important because knowledge gives you
the ability to make good decisions. It's also important to have a
well-informed, well-rounded health vocabulary, because when you use
the proper terms to describe your body, you show that you care about
and respect yourself. And when you respect yourself and your body,
other people will, too.
