Does anyone know a source for historically accurate sexual and anatomical slang?
I'm particularly interested in the Wild West period, but there must be ways language has evolved. It's jarring to have modern terms appear in a historical setting.
Even in modern times, terms vary between countries, but it's easier to find them. I recently had to check before an Australian girl referred to her Boobs.

Thanks

There is Meriam Webster publication called "The Slang of Sin." It has a chapter on Sex, but with specific references to the old west, not much.
