This is an obvious spin-off from the "non-sexual euphemism" thread and is inspired by a list of blues sexual innuendos which Hawkeye posted there 
and which I thought deserved a thread of their own. 
I was going to post this in "Pre-War", but it occured to me that this topic is probably equally relevant to all blues eras so probably ought to be here instead!
My suggestion for contributors is that this will all be a lot more interesting if they can provide some more information about the songs and singers they reference, and their context, rather than leaving lots of hit-and-run one-line posts.
Whether you provide explanations for the terms and phrases you quote is a matter I leave entirely up to you. I'm usually pretty slow in these matters, though, so often will appreciate a general hint as to what on earth is supposed to be going on!
