So we have the glossary of terms, which are definitions/euphemisms for straightforward behavior.  "Great Session" for "great f**k".

I've met a German woman who says there is no German euphemisms for words.  For example, we say "russian," but she says there is no comparable phrase in German.

I now want to try and find a glossary in German.  So does anyone know of a glossary written in German.

Try Dictionary of German slang and colloquial expressions, by Henry Strutz, Barron's, 2000.

In evaluating your informant's credibility on this point, ask yourself how many American women, apart from providers, know what "Russian" means in the argot of these boards.  And if one of those who did not know were confronted with an equivalent euphemism in (say) Italian slang, would not she too be likely to say something like "there's no such thing in English"?

Of course, if Germans in general were completely uninhibited about something, it might well lead to there being no German euphemisms for it.

Ex wifey #1 was German and we often laughed about how different the American, German, and French euphemisms were, when she was not marching around in boots issuing orders and saying:
"DATY macht Frei!"

She's German.

There are terms for the same in Germany:

Handjob:  Swedish
Boobjob:  Spanish
Blowjob:  French
