So what? It’s a dictionary, a book that lists most of the words in common use. So what if it also has the words “penis”, “vagina”, “orgasm”, and “oral sex”? Why deprive a child of the joys of finding stuff out for themselves because of a handful of words that aren’t obscene except in the minds of a few people who find sex distasteful?
And, for the record, the dictionary in question is the same one I gave my seven-year-old. If he wants to spend time looking up “dirty” words, more power to him.

A young and naive Englishman, John Truscott (Hugh Dancy), goes to the British colony of Sarawak, Borneo to try and apply his father’s work to the Iban society. He tries to civilize them, building schools and providing education for the Iban people. He is met with unfamiliar local customs. Selima (Jessica Alba) becomes his “sleeping dictionary,” who sleeps with him and teaches him the language and the habits of the locals.
