Short responses: loins and pederasts

Body
Hello all,

In light of Jansy's reference to the first sentence of Humbert's confession
in LOLITA, Carolyn Kunin directs List members to the Wikipedia entry on the
word "loin" (as well as entries for "groin" and "groin vault"), which makes
interesting reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loin

Also, Sergei Soloviev responds to Jansy below:


I am sure there is -

Sergei Soloviev

Is there no word play (even remotely) with pederast?
