In the Motif-Index of Folk-Literature, the category X700 – X799 is reserved for sexual humour. It is left blank because in the words of Stith Thompson:
- " ... Thousands of obscene motifs in which there is no point but the obscenity itself might logically come at this point, but they are entirely beyond the scope of the present work. They form a literature to themselves, with its own periodicals and collections. In view of the possibility that it might become desirable to classify these motifs and place them within the present index, space has been left from X700 to X799 for such motifs (Thompson 1955-8, 5:514)."
