Sex Thesaurus?

[amber03]

Is there such a thing as Sex Thesaurus, either available on Lit or online somewhere? I'm really struggling with a bit of writers block at the moment and need some inspiration / alternative words to describe the most basic of body parts...

I've checked the writers resources but I can't find what I'm looking for

Does anyone else suffer with this problem?

The Writer's Resources has several entries with synonyms, although none are exhaustive. Still, between the three, you'll likely find what you're looking for:

• Erotic Synonyms by WhisperSecret
  
• I Pushed My Pud Up Her Poop -Chute by Quint
  
• Word Choice by wyo_girl

Good luck.

Perhaps if you listed the word(s) you're having difficulty with, someone can help you brainstorm.

Yes, there is one and I have the URL but it's on my computer at home. Sorry

I'm trying to remember who posted the original link and in what thread.

I'm pretty sure we've had threads on this topic before. Perhaps a search might help you find what you're looking for.

Duplicate post thanks to whatever problems Lit was having yesterday!

Nothing like that here, but there is:

This lists sites where you can find sexual euphemisms.

This for BDSM terms
This is a weird sex Encyclopedia, but they want you to buy it, so you're only allowed to look at a few definitions. But the table of contents is good for inspiration when one is blocked.

There are a couple of threads back in the dusty backpages of this forum that collect such euphemisms, but they generally stay there because you don't really need to use a lot of alternate words for the basic body parts.

Each person generally has one or two terms that they use for their 'nasty bits' and their partners. That's in addition to the clinical terms. They have one for 'polite company' and one for "talking dirty" and they rarely use any alternatives they might know of.

If your narrative voice or your characters change the terms used for various body parts all the time, they sound like caricatures of porn-movie cliches. If that's not your intent, pick a term for each body part for each character and stick with it uless you have a specific purpose for changing terms.

Also, the terms your characters use don't have to be terms anyone else would ever think of using, because such terms are often something made up because the person is embarassed to ask (or were too young to get an answer when they invented their own term.)

Well, if anyone finds one, I'd appreciate the link, too!

 

[Elianna]

You've got some creative folk here. Perhaps this would be a good exercise for us all. Give us some words and I'm sure you'll get some synonyms you've never imagined!

If you look, then you will find, but I've rarely discovered online thesauruses to be that useful. There used to be a couple that were decent, but sadly, that was over five years ago and those sites are no longer alive. I've bought a few sex thesauruses, but again, not really that useful since they often include way too many outdated terms. The best sex thesaurus I found on Amazon is 'The Bald-Headed Hermit and the Articoke' by A.D. Peterkin and I do have it handy if you want to PM and get some words. However, the body is best described, not as parts is parts, but with a reality and a sensitivity to sex. I think readers are more turned on by how a body part is described than by the fact that it is a cock or pussy. That is my two cents.

This may very well be my third time posting this so I won't post again ... Lit is quaking and shaking for me.

You might try here or the Lit 'How-To' department.

I think everyone does from time to time. Good luck with your writing.

What makes porn sexy isn't the names for things, but the sensations those things produce. Tx TAll Tales's entries are all about sensations, and reactions that show emotion-- and not about bodily euphemisms....

 

[TalyisBagley]

Lets do it

I agree with Elianna it would be a great exercise. Lets try to think of some great synonyms and bodily euphemisms.

I guess I'll start:

1. wet

2. need

3. tickle

Who wants to take these three on and think of three more for someone else to do?

For a bit of absurd fun, you could try visiting the VIZ comic website and then selecting (Roger's) Profanisaurus. I know this doesn't solve your/our endless search for differing terms, but it may tickle your fancy (fancy: /'faensi/ n. colloq. The sensitive fleshy bridge between the genitalia and the rusty sheriff's badge. Citation: "Why, Mr knightley, I do declare I have never before encountered such a vigorous and enthusiastic manipulation of the fancy!" - Emma; Jane Austen).
