This is G. Legman's mammoth study of erotic and scatological humor, a darker vision than in Vol. 1. This volume has the dirtier dirty jokes, generally angrier and more outrageous than the jesting ones of the first.

Legman's erudite analysis reveals him to be unsurpassed as a moralist, stylist and connoisseur of erotic folklore.
