There's a regular column in the weekly 週刊文春 which is surprisingly "explicit" given the widespread popularity of the magazine. Perhaps you know it? The title of the column is, "寂女の雑誌から".
I look forward to reading it if only to widen my range of expression in the Japanese language but am constantly failed by the references I have at hand.
I have the latest edition of the Super Daijirin (スーパー大辞林) dictionary yet it contains almost none of the words and expressions I have questions about when reading this particular column.
Given the popularity of the magazine one would assume most people would be familiar with the terms used and yet none of my dictionaries contain entries for many of the terms used in the column. If one were to learn the Japanese language entirely from a dictionary one might get - in my opinion quite mistaken - impression the Japanese were not at all interested in sex and its related activities! Contrast this with a typical English dictionary which has no qualms about including any terms in popular usage, sexual in nature or otherwise. Is it a case of there just being too many of these terms in Japanese for the editors of dictionaries to consider including?
Anyway, although I'd be happy to hear people's thoughts about this matter I'm writing this post to ask whether anyone knows the meaning of the following excerpt taken from the September edition of the above magazine:
「興味ありありだが、言い出せずにいる。三点責めを是非試してみたい。(50歳)」
