This article presents the dialect material connected with sexual organs that can be found in the material for Slovenski lingvistični atlas (Slovenian Linguistic Atlas) and compares it to Ivan Koštiál’s dialect expressions for male and female sexual organs that he used in his Slovenisches erotisches Idiotikon (Slovenian Erotic Dialect Dictionary), published in the journal Anthropophyteia in 1909. Because terminology connected with sexual organs is considered taboo, one can expect a large variety and diversity of lexemes.
