Abstract
This study compared sexual knowledge, vocabulary, and euphemisms within a sample of Americans; and found a significant lack of overall sexual knowledge. This lack of knowledge is associated with misunderstanding vocabulary and euphemisms. One intervention for this sexual illiteracy is teaching accurate sexual vocabulary and the implicit meanings of euphemisms.
