eructation -- a belch

tumescence -- the quality of being swollen, or a swollen part of the body, especially caused by sexual excitement

Review:

This book is well written.  The material, however, is abhorrent.  I found it unpleasant to read each piece and, while I enjoyed both the turns of phrase and the literary references, I kept thinking that at some moment there would be some kind of rejoinder which would somehow make reading the previous sections palatable.  That did not happen.
