Below is a price list from a Paris whorehouse in 1915. It was posted on MERB by a lady who has an interest in the history of prostitution. I got a kick out of it, not only because of the acts described in it, but also because of some of the expressions used.

I thought it was a shame that those unfamiliar with French would miss out, so I have translated it. It is about 98 per cent accurate, only because sexual vernacular evolves quickly, so some of the terms may now be obsolete. Also, the French often use unusual terms to describe certain acts, e.g. minette (little kitten) = DATY, so the context is important in translating them. I have no idea what a "gas heater" is. :D I love the expression "glougloutage du poireau" (slurping of the leek) for blowjob, but "tete begue" has me buffaloed. "Begue" means stammerer, and "tete begue" is a term referring to the accordion-style folding of paper or cloth, but I had to infer from the context that it means the man on top in 69.

I tried to duplicate the format of the original, but this board's software won't allow it. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it and get a good laugh out of it.

I would remark, in passing, that sucking is not expensive, since many women
don’t have a strong enough will to take the arrival of the sperm, and they back
off at the psychological moment, which spoils all the pleasure.

With me, no fear, I don’t abandon the cock until it no longer spits out swimmers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDJOB WITH FLY

Once undressed, you catch a big fly and remove its wings. When you are in the
bathtub, you pull back your foreskin and expose the head of your “gnieu-gnieu”,
placing the fly on top. The poor creature turns around, searching for solid ground,
fearing drowning. It doesn’t dare to jump into the water, so much so that the
continual tickling leads to great pleasure, resulting in an orgasm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
69, woman on back 3.00
Tongue in the asshole
(in great demand), extra 1.00
69, woman on top 1.75

If the DATY is well done, I’ll give the skilled pussylicker a freebie.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
PEE PEE ON THE WEE WEE

The man is seated on the chair, his legs extended. The woman straddles him,
the opening of her snatch very close to his member. The man holds the
woman by the flanks with both hands at hip height. By applying high pressure,
he can stop the jet stream at will, until he can no longer hold back. He then
thrusts himself into her moist pleasure den.

PRICE 5.45

Be sure to have the woman drink a few beers first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
DATY end-to-end, man between woman's legs 3.05

You can request the participation of the woman in giving you a “rose petal”,
in other words, sucking on your asshole, which is very delightful.

One franc per five minutes

Handjob with right hand 3.10
Hot handjob 3.10
Gas heater 3.05

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUCKING WITH MINT

Before having your leek slurped, get the provider to suck on a mint - delightful warming sensation.

"Trip to yellow land", either an Asian SP or golden shower?
What is a "Shirt"? Some kind of fancy lingerie that costs extra?
MSOGs didn't cost much extra.

Definitely a golden shower.

I just changed it to "nightshirt", which is more accurate. I have no clue why one would wear a nightshirt for doggy style, though.

I also have a keen interest in the history & local madames.....recently a Victoria cathouse owners life story was published. My fave story so far is Seattle's famous sewing circle.
What's the name of this book? It sounds intriguing.
