BuzzFeed may be known for its quizzes, listicles, and cute animals, but it's also a resource for information about sex and relationships. It has a massive stash of clips with details on human anatomy, copulation, and more. Take "Eye Opening Facts About Vaginas," for instance.

Fancy Words for Sexy Times

Sure, there are countless words for getting it on, but very few of them could be described as "classy."

For instance, did you now that "perfectly shaped buttocks" can be described as callipygian? Sounds a lot nicer than "nice ass," doesn't it? Or that "the bobbing or jiggling of a woman's breasts when she walks, dances, or exercises" is known as mammaquatia? No, you probably didn't.
