Abstract
Undergraduate males, undergraduate females, and graduate student nurses (female) were asked to list all the slang expressions they knewfor 17 sex-related stimulus words. Sex-role orientation of subjects was measured with an adapted TFI scale. Males listed a significantly larger total number of slang expressions than either female group. Other background variables showed no relationship to extent of slang vocabularies, except that among females, religious involvement and traditional sex-role orientation were inversely related to extensiveness of slang vocabulary. A content analysis of expressions listed for three selected stimulus words showed much sexploitation imagery in males' slang vocabularies.
