Education & Reference - 29 September 2006

Someone I know read an English translation of the French book "story of O" recently, and commented, "What is all that stuff about 'her sex'? In French, 'sexe' also means 'sexual part' but it always sounds weird in English. Writers have tried to import it - another example is Frank Harris in 'My Life and Loves', but it just hasn't caught on. Why? Other terms have crossed the Atlantic and the Channel. The modern meaning of 'make love' comes from the French 'faire l'amour' - 'make love' did exist in English before but had a wider meaning, like when the woman on a boat with Groucho Marxx says 'Are you making love to me?'
