shermanator 3 #1 December 1, 2006 I think i really need to finnd a job, if things like this are keeping me up at night.... what is the history of using the word 'horny' for being sexually aroused? My thinking, guys would have hard ons purtrueding through their pants, and girls would see it and say, "hey, it looks like you have a horn; You are horny!" and so it began. your thoughts?CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #2 December 1, 2006 http://www.takeourword.com/pt.html The word horny "sexually excited, lecherous" derives from an interesting yet not surprising source. As early as the mid-18th century, an erection was known as a horn or the horn, simply because it looked a bit like one. James Joyce even used the term in his Ulysses. From there, any man having the horn was called horny, and this is first recorded in 1889. It was surely in use long before then, as the horn probably was. It often takes some time for lewd slang to make it into the written record. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
